So you dont feel like schlepping all the way down to South Beach just on the off-chance you can sneak into a runway show during Miami Swimwear Fashion Week.
Besides, those styles wont even hit store shelves until spring/summer 2012.
Weve got 100 years of swimwear fashion right here in Broward County at the International Swimming Hall of Fame on Fort Lauderdale Beach.
The Jantzen swimwear label which is now part of the Doral-based uber brand Perry Ellis mined their archives to stage the exhibit 100 Years of Swimming and Swimwear.
One can easily stereotype the traditional water repellent trench coats to vintage style movies wherein the popular and masculine rain-soaked detectives used them as raincoats while investigating a mysterious happening in the neighborhood fighting a dangerous storm.
These conventional coats were double breasted and mostly available in khaki colours. On the contrary modern trench coats can be single breasted, brightly coloured, having assorted patterns, may be in leather featuring different and unique styles.
Trench coats have suddenly become a rage all over the world, gaining popularity amongst the youngsters as well as the middle-aged people.
Prada’s Fall/Winter 2011 ad campaign video was released today, and unlike the brand’s campaign for spring—which was shot by Steven Meisel and seemed to allude to a seductive set—this incarnation drifts back in time with a classic understated nod to the ’50s era. Featuring the not-always-fashionable actor Tobey Maguire during his shoot for the collection with fashion photographer David Sims, the video and accompanying photo shoot rely heavily on natural lighting and seem to aim for a more simplistic look that the drama of the Fall 2010 campaign shied from.
In the minute-long clip, we catch glimpses of clothing and accessories from the season as David and the photo crew set up shots for the lookbook.
I’ve been telling my husband lately that my life is a lot like Groundhog’s Day. Monotonous. Yes. But I’m actually the one choosing to shape it that way, since it keeps everything flowing smoothly and sanely here. My personal Groundhog’s Day is complete with: * Anticipating hunger by pre-preparing snacks. * Thinking of meals in as far advance as I can stand, so I don’t end up in a hot kitchen, myself hungry, tired and surrounded by three gaping mouths. * Doing my daily sheepdog impersonation, moving all of our lovely stuff back into its place time after time after time. * Trying to remember to add that daily spice (a seasonal book that’s been tucked away, a new recipe the kids can help with, painting toe nails just for the heck of it) to keep things fun and lively.
In May, we reported on the Asos Africa collection of fair-trade summer clothing at a low price point. And who better to promote the line than First Lady and style icon Michelle Obama?
Mrs. Obama who was spotted in Asoss $60 ikat-print sleeveless shirt is no stranger to style on a shoestring, having propelled J.Crew to record sales even when the outlook for the retail industry was in the dumpster. And Asos recognizes what a boon it is for the First Lady to take an interest in its ethical fashion line:
Asos worked with SOKO in Kenya to produce the Asos Africa Collection and also enable underprivileged communities to establish sustainable businesses through their local craftsmanship.
