Kiddies fashion

Oh how adorable they are when they are born and being in the process of growing up . When one sees everything in the store they just feel like buying everything. Kiddies clothing have become more complicated than before,an adult cannot distinguish the difference between his or her clothes and kiddies clothes,they are all just the same. Is it a matter of fashion designers being unaware of what to design next for the coming season or is it because they want both parents and kids to look the same ?

Designers should stick to kiddies clothing which includes cartoons and famous dolls such as barbie and Ben 10. This makes it much easier for them to identify and shop for the clothes they want while they are with their parents. Having to design the same kind of clothing as adults is just too much for kids because they cant even play around with those kind of clothes and getting all muddy with them,their parents would tell them how expensive the piece of cloth their wearing is. I know that they are trying to keep the kids trendier and stylish ,but then they must let them grow up first and start stressing about fashion and what to wear at a later stage. Their fashion must be kept simple and straight to the point because to them its all the same they cant see the difference in stylish and normal clothes. Kids use to love their,barbie doll dresses,spider man shorts and t-shirts etc so let kids be kids and enjoy their kiddies wear.

Fashion and Culture


We live in a world that has different kind of cultures. Culture is a very important part of a person,it defines  and makes them who they are. The world that we live in always likes experiencing peoples cultures in a different way such as wearing their traditional clothes,eating their food,speaking their language and getting involved in celabrations that they usually have. It is not a bad thing because they get exposed in knowing how other cultures operate as a whole,and they get to know their cultural lifestyle.


Fashion and Culture is the in thing in our country known as South Africa. We are a cultural diverse nation that allows any individual from any country to be part of us and learn any culture they want. African countries have a variety of traditional clothes that they wear to symbolise their cultures,to them it is fashion.  Fashion to them is not all about money but its about emabracing their cultures,showing off their bright african colours and their style of wearing. What matters most to them is wearing their clothes that they consider as fashion. Their style of cultural clothing is used or worn in different kind of occassions such as runways, wedding celebrations and cultural events. This becomes facinating to peole who are mostly intrested in knowing other cultures and those who are learning about them. People from foreign countries that is SADC countries mostly love wearing their cultural attirres it could be when shopping,working, going to school ect. Their style of wearing includes long dresses, stylish hats and accessories and wearing the full outfit they realli look good and stunning. To them this defines who they really are and that weather its fashionable culture or not they still follow it.

Do you like it big or small...Bag it

www.blogs.babble.com





Trends are taking the world by storm,who would have thought that one day a bag would be a girls most desirable accessory's, Well lets find out. A number of ladies who know the ins and outs of fashion and the latest trends that hit the stores usually know where to find the best bags in town. Bags differ in sizes and designs and each and every individual has their own tastes in bags. It usually depends on a certain individual on what kind of bags  they like,it can be small or big but usually an outfit that one is dressed in gives them the option of what kind of bag should they carry.



It is a known thing that a lady that doesn't carry a bag isn't a lady at all,because a bag defines who you really are.There are different types of bags that we see and use in our everyday life,be it formal bag,casual bag,travelling bag and occasional bag. These types of bags have their own types of occasions,you cant just carry a bag that doesn't compliment that kind of occasion. We all know that a travelling bag is used for travelling and they also come in different sizes,so when travelling one must not always carry the appropriate bag needed in that kind of trip. In special occasion one must always use the small chick bag that compliments her dress to look stunning,they mustn't complicate the whole outfit because it will end up being ruined.

So it is clear that it depends to a certain individual on what kind of bags they prefer and weather they are comfortable or not in them....your choice lies in you bag it!!!

fashion repeats itself



It is usually said that history repeats itself but this time around fashion did. That's one thing that we never bared in mind and we thought that it might never happen but it did. As fashion lovers we don't see or realise that the clothes and trends that we are wearing nowadays were once worn in the olden days by our great grand parents. We always buy and not notice that this was once worn by some of our late grand parents but if we go check it out in the old wardrobe full of un used clothes will find it.



Vintage wear www.manydesign.net
Fashion is a very diverse thing around the world but question is why are we going back to the old fashion that our grandmothers worn back in the days?are fashion designers out of ideas?or its just history repeating itself? A lot of clothes that we as the youth of today wear is usually idolised by our parents,our parents can pick up an outfit for us because they know how well this fashion goes as they used to wear it back in the days. Its funny how we wear vintage clothing yet our parents have grown out of it and adapted to the new style,to us its fashion but to them its old stuff and it doesn't show any interest. Fashion has been repeatedly repeating its self from you're vintage clothing which includes Baggy pans,blouses,stud earrings,chiffon dresses etc. Colour blocking has also taken over the world even though its not necessary in other outfits,people are just murdering it and its not on. Fashion is something that should be creative,funky and fun and its suppose to suit every personalty. If we keep on going back to the olden days do we think that this kind of style will suit everyone or not. Who knows what will be next?

Fashion credit goes to........

It has been said that credit is mostly given to people who don't deserve it, so who really deserves the credit in the fashion industry? This is a continuous process that happens in our everyday life where you find that people are mostly credited for someone else's good work. Who can you consider to be the most important person in the fashion industry, is it fashion designers or the people who sew the clothes? We often ask ourselves where do clothes come from and how do they go about designing them and are fashion designers sure that people will love the clothes that are designed by them. People are different and have a different style in clothes designed by fashion designers. Well i have to agree that they both play an important role when it comes to fashion  because they make sure that they produce the best clothes that one can wear and they are also able to follow up the latest fashion trends that come and go. Getting to know the good work behind this depends on them because they have to make sure that the final product expected by people needs to be there,be seen,be bought and be worn.               


                                 So who would you consider to be the best in the industry?

Green Fashion

                                                    www.vodacomdurbanjuly.co.za/images/
Think red..... Love green that was the theme of this year's Durban July. It was nothing but one of the best events held where a lot of people got to showcase a series of fashion trends. Celebrities, people from around the world and other people who love being in the fashion scene were all gathered together to have fun in the racing course and compete against each other with the fabulous dresses, suits and gowns that were worn in the event.
                                                           
                                                              www.saladblog.bugs3.com

Well not only this years main focus was on the gowns and suits but it was on the green side of fashion. We all know that when we mention green we think about nature and the environment with regards to recycling, reusing etc. People were given the opportunity to be creative and design outfits for the Durban July in recycled material and guess what, they did it.They used a number of recyclable materials that were different and they made something of it.  People looked fab and stunning in those outfits, a competition was held and the best dressed person was given a prize. So its pretty clear that fashion is not only about the perfect fabric but it can be also about the best picked recycling material and how one puts it together,Green Fashion it is.....

Deadly Winter Trends

This year’s winter has been a quite an interesting season for most people even though it was cold as hell. People usually have no choice on what to wear when seasons change and they end up confusing clothes with seasons, this is one of their biggest mistakes in the fashion world. There are certain clothes and colours for every season but usually you get some of the people who choose not to conform to this norm. Deadly winter trends have been worn this winter whereby a lot of people unnecessarily mixed matched clothes. Colour blocking is one of the examples of confusing winter.



Colour blocking has its own way of being nice,stylish and colourful with bright colours especially in summer. Some of the commonly acceptable colours to wear in winter include brown, grey, black, etc. and the colours to be avoided in winter include pink, yellow, orange, green, etc. So people need not to necessarily colour block during winter because they end up wearing deadly trends that are unacceptable. Well no matter what people wear they might still not understand the proper dressing codes of seasons only a few will do and deadly trends will always be there.

Profession in a stylish way

Office Dress Trends 2012 Menswear For Women Office Dressing Styles for Women
www.officetrends2012.com
A lot of people find it hard to dress up and look good in a professional way.They don't know which looks are the best for certain events and places to dress to.Being professional in a stylish way doesn't need to come in a costly way but it all depends on how one can easily put the best and stylish outfit all together in a reasonable price.


People have the tendency of dressing up in a professional way where not necessary,and end up looking bad where needed to look professional.In work places and meetings one has to look stylish and professional in order to be given the heads up of being recognisable and respected.Being professional and stylish defines who you are and shows what kind of character ure made of,it shows that you know how to dress up and look good for different kinds of occasions.Differentiating what to wear where and how shows that you have good fashion sense and looking fabulous is in you...So dress up professional but in a stylish way!!!

The influence that fashion has in our everyday lives

Fashion has taken over the world that we live in and our everday lives.The influence that it has over people is amazing and tends to grow each and every new day.Looking and felling good is one of the best things that each and every individual likes. People like looking up to celebrities who look good and want to potray the way that they look,hence they regard fashion as a lifestyle that they live. Dressing up and loking as glamorous as them gives a statement about them. It mainly describes everthing about them and shows that they are fashion icons who are always updated about the latest fashion trends that hit the stores.Television shows like fashion tv, fashion police, how do i look and most worst dressed show us that people want to learn more about being dressed nicely and looking fabolous and learning more about fashion. Its different clothes that get worn each different season. So it is indeed a well known stament and will always be like that, that fashion has an influence over people and theres nothing they can do about it.

Seasonal buying

         Autum clothing
We are always worried and stressed of what we are going to wear when the seasons change. We often find ourselves buying clothes each and every new season whilst we still have our old clothes in our wardrobes.Seasonal buying is part of our everyday life where we find ourselves buying new clothes all the time weather you're a fashion guru or not or even male or female.The change of seasons in our country has an influence over us because we have to follow and abide by it,it also influences fashion designers to design new
clothing items that will be the in thing for that particular season.

                                                                                                        www.climatechangeclothes.com

In so doing people tend to follow the rule of seasonal buying and buy new clothes all the time,looking and feeling good is an advantage for them so buying will not be an option.Advertising and marketing seasonal clothes is a good thing even though people end up misusing their money in buying all the time.It gives fashion designers and retail stores the opportunity to be know in the products that they cater for every season,so weather we like it or not we have to buy every season.

Dress up for comfort

Winter has just begun and people need to feel warm and comfortable in the clothes that they are wearing.Comfartability is the most important thing when one is wearing their clothes,and it all depends on weather that person is also comfortable in the body that they have.People tend to feel ashamed and ungratefull of the body that they have and end up dressing up inappropriate.As individuals we must be grateful of the body that the lord has given us and not compare ourselves to other people.We cannot all be skinny and have model bodies,sum of us will still be fully figured but make wonderfull models unlike skinny models so appreciating what you have is an advantage.Dressing up for comfort will be the new rule that people need to know and follow because comfortability is good.It makes one feel comfortable in what they are wearing and makes them walk with confidence.Appreciating the body that you have and dressing up for it and feeling comfortable in the clothes that you have is the best,so dress for comfort not impressing.

The art of shopping

Shopping shopping,the beauty of what woman like.It has been said that women of today like nothing but designer clothes and shopping is one part of their lives that makes them complete and loved.Clothes define who they are and makes them feel recognisable in the industry .The world that we live in today defines a person about what they are wearing,where were they wearing those kind of clothes,how much are they and who designed them?that's the question of today.They don't feel comfortable wearing the same clothes as shopped from common retail stores such as truworths,Edgar's,guess,Markham,Mr price, and other well known and famous retail stores.Being different in occasions and wearing brand clothes being designed by famous designers makes them unique and glamorous at the same time.Them wearing those designer clothes being designed by famous designers makes them be ambassadors of those particular designers because word of mouth is spread fast and easily about who was wearing who and what.This simply creates a marketing strategy for the designers at hand and gives them the opportunity to be recognisable and talked about in the industry.A communicative platform is created for them whereby  they are able to create a good impression for them,makes them feel recognisable and be able to sell and market their product.
