Five rules for choosing of a spring handbag

April 26th, 2007

Perhaps, great majority of women have some handbags which oddly penetrated into a wardrobe and do not match everything else there.
Therefore, making a choice about a new spring bag, it is better to take into account the following moments:
1. The size. Only on wedding or Oscar’s ceremony you may take your tiny handbag. For all other ocasions it is necessary to find a bag which can contain mobile phone, cosmetics, a wallet and so on. Even the evening bag should be of reasonable size.
2. Color. Bright, metal, shining bags look simply marvelous. However many women continue to buy bags of neutral colors - simply because it is more practical. If a color bag will take a place in a wardrobe, it is necessary to take care of other accessories to match it.
3. Convenience. Many new fashionable bags are very inconvenient - abundance of leather and metal ornaments gives them additional weight. Regardless of the size, your bag should be convenient.
4. A season. A velvet. Prints in the Hawaiian style. Straw. All these are frankly seasonal materials. It is necessary to think over, whether you are ready to get a bag for 4 months only?
5. Trends. Fashion tendencies come and leave, and bags remain. Some trends vary so frequently, that become classics. An example to that - leopard prints and a brilliant leather. The problem is in choosing the bag which will combine fashionable trends and won’t be limited in time by its shape or details.


This fashionable transparency

April 25th, 2007

Not always trends shown during fashion shows are possible to put into practice easily. One of such trends are transparent handbags.
It is a point at issue, whether the most violent fashionable woman will dare to appear with such accessory on public. Dolce & Gabbana has always balanced on a thin edge between elite sexuality and vulgarity. For this reason the transparent accessories which have appeared on D&G fashion podiums, were not something fairly strange.
Really strange this trend looked in Chanel collection. Fendi designers have not dared to create absolutely transparent handbags models. Boutiques networks for this time refused to use designers` ideas in their collections. Only TopShop ventured to do this, having offered transparent bags from the bright plastic. But, perhaps, Nine West version of a transparent handbag was the best.


Twins-bags – of a spring season

April 24th, 2007

What it is better: to choose an accessory from the most popular designer, having paid for it unbelievable sum or prefer much more accessible version, created by the next “fashionable retailer”? It is impossible to accuse them of copying design ideas, however very often the resemblance of their accessories and accessories from known designers is evident.
For example, Dior handbag costs 1290 dollars. At the same time almost the same bag, created by Bebe brand is much more accessible: its price is only 198 dollars.
Cabas Bag from Chanel was so popular in the last season that the fashion house continued to produce its new versions in different colors and materials: retailers, certainly, have followed Chanel, and suggested their own versions: Nine West (120 dollars) and Bebe (239 dollars).
Prada and Guess: are obvious copies, however Guess version is cheaper almost in 10 times: 1052 dollars in comparison with 75 dollars.
One of the most popular for fashionable retailer brands is Chloe. Model Betty (932 pounds) has been copied by English retailer Oasis and offered for 65 pounds.
The evening handbag from Marni (415 pounds) became  a “muse” for Topshop, which evening handbags versions cost only 55 pounds each.

April 17th, 2007

The amount of fashion weeks is multiplied. Keeping an eye on shows in Milan, Paris, London and other world fashion-capitals, we even do not imagine places where we can meet real podiums with mad, bright and remembered collections. Known fashionable editor Janice Breen Burns has expressed the courageous assumption, that the following “Paris” in the fashion world can be Peking, Bangkok or even Bishkek.
So, recently the Fashion week has passed in Bishkek, capital of the former Soviet republic Kyrgyzstan. Dresses which may become envy for many European women were shown in the city with the population less than one million people.
Today any city with two Fashion weeks a year basically can apply for the status of fashionable capital, and Bishkek is not exception.
By the way, only this week in Moscow, Kiev, Montreal, Bangkok, Peking, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, Athens, Toronto, Mexico, Munich, Lisbon, New Delhi, Dubai and Vancouver local elite gather to advance local fashion brands. Beautiful dresses are perceived not only as an occasion to look on faultless models and to arrange a party, but also as a good way to please yourself after boring daily routine. Even in Afghanistan, not speaking about Baghdad, which takes the last place among fashion bastions, the first fashion show for the last decade has passed lately. It was organized by Afghani and American designers Gabriella Ghidoni and Zolaykha Sherzad.


Christian Dior: one more loss

April 16th, 2007

The French Christian Dior fashion house has hardly had time to go through the changes connected with Hedi Slimane`s leaving as there befell one more loss. This time - tragical. 38-years designer Steven Robinson - John Galjano’s right hand has suddenly died. He was for Galjano not only a trustee and a friend, but also an irreplaceable colleague without whom Dior collections would look completely different.
After graduating prestigious Epsom School of Art and Design in the age of 17, Robinson started to work with John Galjano as the trainee - assistant. Then they together went to Givenchy, and later - to Dior. Since then Robinson and Galjano always had worked together, and, although the first always remained in a shadow of the second, each collection was always created by them as equals.
«We will miss Steven very much. But we believe, that his energetics and enthusiasm will stay in our memory for ever», - the president of the French fashion house Sidney Toledano has told.
John Galjano was on vacation on Mauritius Island, but when he knew about the tragedy, he immediately returned to Paris. «Steven was my “anchor”, my best friend, the person without whom I cannot imagine my work. We went to success together, since the very first days. He was not a public person and did not search for glory, but he had skills to organize, join and manage our creative family. He will stay irreplaceable for me … », - the designer told.
