As 2011 comes to an end next month, it’s time to make a new trend of 2012. It must be different things in every time. 2011 with the ethnic tread in fashion will still has its impact in the upcoming 2012. I personally like the touch of ethnic in every appearance such as in fashion and accessories. This kind of trend will definitely improving with other combination of creativity and imagination of talented designer. They will give more touch in ethnic fashion and accessories such as with combination of interchange culture and nation of ethnic. It will be a great appearance seeing an indian fashion combine with indonesia batik for example. Yes this era of internet and digital media make almost no borders. So united of nation will be a great theme for the next year of 2012 fashion and accessories trend.

What about in jewelry? Is it just similar with this 2011? Of course jewelry will never be cut off fashion as it complementary each other. And it’s very much a part of a woman’s wardrobe, and will always enhance appearance of every woman wearing fashion jewelry. Personally I like a simple piece of jewelry with bright color result in an elegance woman appearance. I dont like any use of animal products as an accessories as we know that it would be a bad action for long term. We have to make our environment balance by keeping animal and their habitats. That’s why an immitation accessories is better for those kind of animal products. So let’s see what is going on in fashion and jewelry trend next year.

The Fashion of Positano Endures

Posted by on Monday, 1 November, 2010

Every September, the doors of the fashion world open up to the unique and rich fashion culture of Positano. Positano is a small town perched on the coast of Amalfi in Italy. During the early 1900s, there was a boom in the shops and small businesses that provided highly creative and colourfully designed clothing, which helped characterize the inimitable Positano fashion.

Positano fashion is characterized by plenty of colors and a particular class of materials. The early production of Positano clothing focused mostly on the use of silks and jute canvas. Styles and designs were far-ranging; the more creative, the better. What’s important is that the attractive and fascinating look was achieved. The look of the Positano is one that commanded attention and turned heads, thanks to its use of bright colors and a lot of delicate tissue-thin materials adorned with a lot of sparkles. It brought to mind the sparkles of the Orient and the mysterious feel of sheer and soft fabrics, but with an earthly feel that represented the laid-back and simple life of Italy and the Mediterranean. This relaxed feel is also achieved by the carefree styles of Positano clothes, with shoulders bare and with free-flowing skirts. The attention-grabbing colors and adornment were symbolic of the Italian women’s confident and brazen manners, with their eyes to the world and not on the ground, and with vibrant smiles reflected by the shiny accoutrements of their clothing.

The birth of Positano fashion and its development was an answer to the tastes of holiday vacationers on the coastal town mainly because it was a mixture of sophistication and outlandishness. The vacationers, wanting to be free from their uptight routines, longed to lounge around in soft fabrics and loose clothes, and Positano clothing allowed them to enjoy this luxury without stripping them of their fashion sense and sophistication. Due to this, Positano fashion also expanded, soon including sea dresses and beach robes with soft gauze materials. This caused even more shops selling Positano clothing to open and more and more ideas joined the creative foray.

The seductive aura of the Positano fashion eventually caught media attention and sustained it for decades. It didn’t take long, thus, for Positano fashion to evolve. After all, even at the beginning, this Italian fashion culture had much potential for growth. For the next 60 years following the war, Positano fashion received an immense growth. What started out as a clothing trend blossomed into a much-awaited yearly fashion season that included not just clothes but also handbags, shoes, accessories, and costumes for both men and women. But despite such growth, the fashion of Positano still gave much importance to the strict use of known Positano fabrics to retain their authenticity.  Through the years, Positano became known as a shopping icon with a twist.

As the new millennium emerged, however, there was a significant decline in the popularity of Positano fashion as the overall fashion culture continued to veer towards more classic and modern pieces. Several shops in Positano closed and only a few remained to continue the once beloved fashion tradition. Presently, Positano fashion still survives. In fact, it has recovered some of its former glory. The fashion culture has given rise to several different brands offering authentic Positano pieces as well as a string of imitators.

One of the authentic brands offering genuine Positano fashion pieces is Moda Positano. Moda Positano is a famous brand producing Positano clothing and other products. Various genuine Moda Positano pieces can be bought along the streets of Positano. Tourists staying all over the town including those lodged nearby at Hotel Poseidon can easily indulge their creative fashion sense with the creative offers of Moda Positano, which are scattered all over the town.

Despite the large number of brands of Positano fashion, Moda Positano manages to stand out. The brand offers genuine Positano fashion but mixes this with the new requirements of modern fashion. New fabrics and beautiful embroidery were added to the mix. Now, Positano fashioncontinues to live on, but enduring brands such as Moda Positano have managed to make it adaptable to the changing tastes and needs of fashion aficionados.

Now, Positano fashion not only provides the perfect getup for the modern man or woman on a vacation. Thanks to the innovativeness of authentic brands like Moda Positano, the fashion trend has become a fashion season, and the classic styles that represent true Positano fashion now make an appearance on modern clothing so much so that Positano has managed to incorporate itself into the wardrobes of modern city dwellers.

And now, once every year, the fashion thrives again. In September, the Positano season begins. In September, all the colors, the sparklies, the gauze, the sheer, the flowers, and the creativity comes out of hiding and once again makes up the classic Positano fashion.


Women Fashion Journalism Workshop

Posted by on Wednesday, 20 October, 2010

Narrate the changes you have witnessed in global fashion since you started I started when all fashion came from Paris. In 1958 that was 50 years ago last year, I covered Yves Saint Laurent’s first collection after the death of Christian Dior. During the ’60s, I eye-witnessed the you thquake/mini/moon maidens. It was the first time mothers and daughters dressed differently. It was the direct result of the pill, drugs, the Age of Aquarius and man’s landing on the moon. Compare the Indian fashion scenario with the international fashion Because I have not covered lakme Fashion Week or spent any time in India until now, I do not feel qualified to answer, other than to say that India is now a player on the international fashion scene—thanks in large part, I believe, to the fact that international buyers and press now attend Lakme Fashion Week. Strengths and weaknesses of the Indian fashion.

Fraternity Strengths: Bollywood has obviously been an influence on fashion in India, giving the industry an international exposure it did not have before. India has a reputation for being the place to go for beading, embroideries, etc. India has been a source for cheap labor, thereby attracting many international companies to use your manufacturing facilities. Weaknesses: The fashion director of Lord and Taylor, with 40 some stores nationwide, including the N.Y. flagship, told me that she had come to Lakme Fashion Week thrilled by the creativity in India and that she purchased from several designers. Alas, she said, deliveries were not dependable, if at all, and communication was difficult—i.e., no responses to emails, etc. This was 2 or 3 years ago so hopefully this no longer if a weakness.

Your take on increasing number of sponsored fashion weeks around the world and its impact on the original ones at Milan and Paris. I believe the IMG fashion weeks around the world have had a major impact in publicizing which were, until those weeks were held, marginal fashion centers. This was true in New York, when, in 1993, the first shows in Bryant Park literally transformed the American fashion industry. I do not believe these “regional” shows have hurt the ones in Milan and Paris, as these were already well-established fashion centers. Formal Grounding in Fashion journalism is paid lip sympathy – Comment it’s hard to have a formal grounding in fashion journalism unless that means working as an intern at a fashion magazine. Do the fashion schools in India have courses in fashion Journalism? If they do, of course I would recommend a course. If they do not, I would say study the field, read Suzy Menkes in the international Herald Tribune and the writers for Women’s Wear Daily and W. If you want to be a good writer, first be a good reader.

Your agenda and expectation at the Lakme Fashion Week Fashion Media Workshop My agenda during Lakme Fashion Week Fashion Media Workshop is to learn all I can about India and fashion journalism in India. I want to be enlightened. Pearls of wisdom for aspiring fashion journalists. Find a boss who is someone you admire—someone you would “die” to work for, then stop, look and listen as you learn. Come with an open mind. Set aside preconceived notions about the field. Read the best writers and see how they include both sides of a story, especially if it is a controversial subject.
