Be Chic and Rebellious With 90s Fashion

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Monday 8 September 2008 12:38 pm

The 90s was a great decade for fashion. No longer were the big names of fashion concerned with the amount of dress and under-dressing. In a minimalistic twist which emphasized the grace and freedom of the human form, the 90s featured a great fear of overdressing. Ostentatious displays of class were replaced with the beauty of stark simplicity. And apart from a product’s style, the way it was portrayed by the media became an equally important factor in a product’s success.

Fashion took a turn for the revolutionary and out of the ordinary at the end of the 20th century. No more were the blond bombshells and femme fatales of past decades ruling the runway and the billboards. In their stead, themes of poverty, sexual violence, disability, death and body modification came into being through the form of the romantically poor waif, with a face devoid of make-up and stark backgrounds. Retailers of ready-to-wear clothing like The Gap, Banana Republic and Eddie Bauer came into prominence with clothes that women found to be comfortable and ultimately wearable.

It was also in the 90s that Gucci (which had existed since the 20s) found international success by winning the Brand of the Year award, becoming the largest selling Italian brand of all. And like Gucci, Prada also came into prominence with a truly luxurious style that benefited young ladies whose fashion sense was more relaxed and subtle. And like Gucci, its specialty was high quality bags and shoes. In the United States, the fashion industry was lorded over by Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors. They used a combination of minimalism with hints of veiled sensuality to market their products to thousands of buyers.

Other icons of the era include Vivienne Westwood with her blast to the past fashion sense, Gianni Versace with his colorful and sexy patterns, and Dolce and Gabbana which embodied the feminine psyche of the era in terms of fashion. The 90s was a truly rebellious and colorful era. If you’re interested in these tidbits of information, you were probably born for a fashion design degree.

What You Should Wear Under Your Wedding Dress

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Monday 8 September 2008 12:35 pm

You’ve got almost everything in place: you’ve got the venue for both the wedding ceremony and reception. The menu has been set. Flowers, photographers, souvenirs, dresses – you’ve got them. You ticked off every item on the checklist, which is absolutely great!

Just to check though… did you remember to prepare what goes beneath the dress? Keep in mind that what’s under the dress is as important as the dress itself.

You’d be amazed at what a difference the correct foundation garment can make to the way a dress fits and flows on you. In fact the best wedding dress designers will ask you and help you plan what to wear with the gown. They may even have it specially made for you.

Most designers would recommend that you wear a strapless bra on your wedding day but it can be extremely uncomfortable if it doesn’t fit right (not to mention the forever checking if it’s properly in place). If you’re wearing a backless gown this won’t do at all. You’d need to wear something that can’t be seen at all!

So, before you go shopping for the lingerie to go with your gown, check the style, fit and material of your gown. If it’s a strapless you may opt to wear a bustier instead. It is meant to hug your curves perfectly and it is long enough to stay in place without the straps. Choose one with a good push up to enhance your look at the nuptials. This is good for the off the shoulder ones as well.

If you’re dress was designed to bare your back then check out the new line of bras and corsets that have fasteners at the waist. If you can’t find one you like, take a look at the adhesive types that stick to your skin. It’s best that you give it a trial run first to ensure that you aren’t allergic to what makes it stick.

If your dress is too sheer, the color of your lingerie may show through and ruin your look. It may be a better idea to wear a color that matches your skin rather than white. It would be less obvious that way.

You’ll also need to think about the bottom line. Depending on the way your skirt is cut and its material, your panty line may show; especially if the style of your gown is a close fit and the material drapes. One piece body huggers of a very slim material and a high cut would be excellent for avoiding this problem. Some even have waist shapers which will be much appreciated by those brides who wish to look svelte at their wedding.
