Oh how we LOVE Christian Siriano 😍👗👠

When the world first seen Christian he was a contestant on project runway but us in the fashion industry stylists designers etc we knew of him and his fashion greatness , other designers were warned when he was on project runway that regardless of if he brought home the win or not , he was definitely coming! his work speaks for itself along with his focus and dedication. Siriano has a personality that lights up a room, a photo a tweet pretty much anything featuring him or his work.

Christian Siriano was a legend in this fashion game before he even knew it. We heard of him as a threat , he was great before the world even knew his name. Being so young and so talented in design, catches the eyes of some of the greats that came before him as well as others in his field wether it be stylist designers models etc we all knew that he would go far , and he did , designing for women like Michelle Obama , Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga , Rihanna , Sarah Jessica Parker , Nicki Minaj , Christina Ricci , Taylor Swift just to name a few , the list goes on with women just as beautiful and star studded as the above women and he has not stopped since he was first introduced to the world as first a contestant then as the winner of project runway season 4. So to those who have said and I quote “project runway has yet to produce a star” well they are certainly sleeping on the fabulous and talented Christian Siriano his designs have become iconic already , watching his success you can’t help but see so many more great things coming from him.

A few few things that I would like to point out for anyone up and coming needing inspirational a glimpse of hope from a job you didn’t quiet dream of but is a necessary stepping stone to get to where you want to be , Christian started out as a make up artist and started making custom dresses for clients at the same time working as a non paid intern for Marc Jacobs. So you have to start somewhere and that’s just a reminder.

You Don't Have To Be Rich And Or Famous To Attend A Fashion Show

Fashion Shows, Not Just for the Rich and Famous Anymore

There is a good chance that you have heard of a fashion show before, but have you ever attended one? Unfortunately, there are many individuals who believe that fashion shows are only for the rich and famous, not the “everyday,” individual. While this may have been true at one point in time, it isn’t anymore. For that reason, if you are interested in getting out to see a fashion show, you are encouraged to do so.

When it comes to attending a fashion show, many individuals do not do so in fear of feeling out of place. As it was previously mentioned, fashion shows aren’t just for the rich and famous, but many people cannot seem to get that myth out of their minds. Many individuals out there ask themselves “why should I attend a fashion show.” In all honesty, you really don’t need a reason to attend a fashion show, but if you are looking for one, you may want to continue reading on.

One of the greatest reasons as to why someone attends a fashion show is if they run a fashion store, a clothing store, or a clothing accessory store. If you run either one of these stores, there is good chance that you want to make sure that your stores are carrying the latest trends in fashion. While you may not necessarily end up buying clothing from the designer or designers featured at a fashion show, you may get a good idea of what is now popular or will soon be popular. This can help you when it comes to buying merchandise for your store. In a way, attending a fashion show can help to improve the success and profits of your business.

In keeping with those who attend fashion shows for business reasons, if you run a fashion consulting business, you may also want to think about attending a fashion show. Fashion shows regularly focus on the latest fashion trends or soon-to-be fashion trends. If you are in the business of providing expert advice, tips, and knowledge to those who want to improve their fashion sense, fashion shows can be a great research tool for you. It is also important to mention that fashion shows come in a number of different formats. For instance, you can find fashion shows that focus on plus sized clothing, work wear, swimwear, eveningwear, weddings, men, and teens.

Although those who run a fashion related business are more likely to benefit from attending a fashion show, you can also use fashion shows to your own personal advantage. If you are just interested in looking your best or interested in learning how you an incorporate the latest fashion trends into your wardrobe, you may want to think about attending a fashion show. As previously stated, fashion shows come in a number of different formats; therefore, no matter what you are looking to learn more about, fashion wise, you should be able to find a number of fashion shows that can give you what you need.

As a stylist I can tell you that The benefits a stylist gets from a fashion show invite can be extensive , meet new clients , contacts , style consultants and even interns that you can hire to assist in style jobs. Interns get a whole lot out of working with stylists as a stylist it's your duty to take interns under your wing and show them the ropes , the do's and don'ts of fashion. Their work is also a representation of you so teach them well.

Another one of the many reasons why you may want to attend a fashion show is if you are looking for a good time. There is nothing like grabbing a group of friends and going to see a fashion show. You already know that fashion shows come in a number of different formats, but did you also know that they are also held in multiple locations? In addition to being held in well-known fashion cities, like New York or Paris, fashion shows can also be held locally. Whether the fashion show you want to attend is held in a popular location, like New York or Paris, or even just at your local shopping mall, you and your friends will likely have a fun and memorable experience at a fashion show.

As a reminder, you really do not need to have a reason to attend a fashion show. If you want to attend one, even if it is just to see what one is like, you may want to start making your arrangements as soon as possible.

The best fashion shows In the world are held in New York , Paris , and Los Angeles I have attended tons of fashion shows but I have yet to go to a Paris show although I was invited to a few I regretfully had to give my invitation to friends (meaning I died a little inside each time) ..... ( super sad face) lol.

I have sworn to myself that the next Paris invite I receive will have to be pried from my cold dead hands because I will be on the first thing with wings I see and it may even have feathers (laugh) yes that's how serious I am.

So please remember if you would like to attend a fashion show check out our fashion show info section.

IT bags are the classic cars of handbags 👜

Handbags are the new shoes, the must have "it" accessory that has all the fashion-istas clamouring for the latest offering from popular designers. It's also a market that has more in common with the male-dominated world of classic cars than you'd realise.

Few of you will have missed the fuss a couple of months ago when Sainsbury's sold 20,000 "I'm not a plastic bag" Anya Hind-march totes for [pound]5 each. Within hours those same unbleached cotton bags were selling for in excess of [pound]150 on eBay. "Every girl has a handbag," says Christie's specialist Monica Turcich, "and every girl wants one. Women now want the 'it' bag and the one nobody else is carrying. They've always been popular and they are the section of our 20th-century fashion sales for which we get the most phone calls, but now they are doing particularly well because everyone wants handbags, whereas 10 years ago there weren't the 'it' bags like we have today, simply the classics."

Like cars, most of the more recent designer handbags which sell through dealers and auction houses make significantly less than their original retail price, losing value the second the initial purchase has taken place. That is good news for both collector investors and handbag enthusiasts, but there are some exceptions to the rule. I’m

Last March Christie's sold a red Hermes crocodile skin Kelly bag for [pound]10,800, this had only been purchased in 1994 and was originally a bespoke product. The Kelly bag is the "holy grail" of the classic handbag world according to Turcich. "Chloe and other more contemporary bags are more driven by what's popular now, but for Hermes and Chanel's quilted bag, these are classics which never go out of style and are always useable." Kelly bags can be bought for [pound]600 and can often be sold on for [pound]1,000- [pound]2,000, which isn't bad for a bag which might have been bought back in the 1960s.

There's no doubt that most handbags are being bought to be used, it's not an investment market in the same way as many other collectables such as paul smith,Abercrombie and Fitch,dsquared etc, but again there are parallels to the car market. By buying a classic bag and looking after it, you are unlikely to lose money, rather see a steady gain with the added return of enjoying using it.

Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" bags are unlikely to make it to "classic" status, they are after all mass-produced cotton totes, but other handbags from her range might well do so. So far Christie's has-n't sold any Hindmarch bags, but Turcich says she wouldn't be surprised if they start turning up at auction soon and she wouldn't turn them away. "Kylie Minogue was pictured carrying a Chloe bracelet bag around a few years ago which sparked a fashion and now we are selling the same thing at auction."

There is a pristine one in the next auction which is estimated at [pound]800 to [pound]1,000 along with another Chloe handbag in the same lot. "I think Chloe has started the 'it' bag scene" adds Turcich, "I don't know how long it will take for them to become classics of their own, but I'm sure these will hold their value in five or 10 years' time. People just don't seem to have paid attention to the fact that handbags have become the new shoes in the last few years, there is now an appreciation of the design that goes into them. There are shoe designers that are artists and so too with handbags."

It's not always about big names, a few weeks ago Ms Minogue was at the shop of Tony Durante, a handbag dealer at Alfie's in London, and purchased a white raffia bag with a horse's head on the front for around [pound]200. Brightly coloured raffia bags are in at the moment because it's summer. Durante says that Kylie loved this particular bag because it was unusual. Buying it from a vintage fashion dealer she's unlikely to bump into another celebrity carrying one.

Durante says that his customers are looking for this "unusualness" factor.

If you do want to retain the value in your handbag then you should go for one that is in excellent condition, is a good design and beautiful. Some "it" bags will undoubtedly go down in value as fashions change, but the classics should stay steady.

Ever thought of a career in fashion photography here is a article allabout it

We see them everywhere, in Magazines, on the Run Way, in advertisements on TV. They are the slender women strutting their stuff or extra ordinary Beauties with their sultry looks flashing their pearly whites while wearing the newest Styles from the hottest Designers. We are talking about the fashion models of today, yesterday and tomorrow. They are everywhere we look, but who brings them to us? Their images are captures with care and precision, patience and that special look for style, color and lighting composition. I am talking about the fashion photographers.

In the fashion circles famous names like Mario Testino (easily one of the hottest names out there) and Eva Mueller (photographer for Fashion Magazine Allure) are just as sought out if not more then those men and women sauntering their way into our conscious.

High Paychecks and glamour’s Lifestyle of hob nobbing it with the rich and famous might be the dream of many young shutterbug, however it is not easy to reach the golden Staircases of the well-known fashion houses and magazines. For every one talented photographer, hundreds are left panting at the sidewalk, only dreaming about the moment that their photo will be chosen.

Here are a few tips for the novice and dreamer of dreams in getting started in fashion photography. Study your subject. You can never learn enough. Read and look at any fashion Magazine you can get your hand on. There are fantastic books on Fashion and fashion photography available. Amazon.com has a true treasure trove available.

You need one or two good cameras, tripod and a lighting system. Always make sure that you have plenty of film and batteries available. SLR and digital cameras take different photos, so make sure you find the best for your field.

When submitting your work, hopefully to give a chance you have to have a portfolio on hand, just in case the editor of the fashion magazine wants to see samples of your work. I assure you if they consider working with you that is going to be a fact.

The sharp, bright images of a 4X5” transparency show of your work to its best effort. If you have already had a publication, no matter if, it was a small neighborhood magazine/paper or a contest a tear sheet (literally a sheet you tore out of the magazine) works well. If neither is at hand a good high quality 8 X 10 “is acceptable as well. You want to make sure that you have a minimum of 20 photos in your portfolio and preferably different styles. You want to show your expertise in full figure or just partial body parts.

Remember, fashion includes jewelry and accessories. Sometimes a watch from a famous maker on the slender wrist of a beautiful woman is a good fashion shoot. If you are applying for the job, be prepared to leave your Portfolio behind for an extended period of time, sometimes as much as a couple of weeks. I would advice you to make copies and have several on hand. This comes in handy when showing your work to many different people for consideration for fashion work.

In the time of modern technology, it is good to display your talent as a fashion photographer online as well. Set up a website; submit your photos to contests. Submit them to an online fashion gallery. This helps with getting your work seen and people can see what type of work you actually do and can do for them.

Most editors are looking for your personality in the photos you take. Each fashion photographer captures the soul of the fashion and its model differently. There are a couple of very good “how to get started” websites on the net. You might wish to start out with http://www.fashion.net/howto/photography/ or http://www.stylecarrer.com/fashion_photographer.shtml. Most importantly, if this is your dream, don’t give up. Keep trying and I hope to see your images on the cover of my next hot fashion magazine.
