HERRERA....SPRING 2013

She is a immoveable figure in fashion, that is in continuing moving forward but conserving her style, reinforcing the femininity and glamour of her collections filled with beautiful pieces. Her extensive use of digital prints shows a real sense of modernity. I liked the crispness of some of these looks coming from a designer with a penchant for the flowing and dramatic. I like the color-blocking with prints and the spray painted stencil effect with sequins. The combinations of misty and vibrant colors, gives an ethereal, especial soft and sophisticated effect, to this collection.

KARAN...SPRING SUMMER 2013

The subject of the show, seems like a sunrise and sunset and has a futuristic, almost ethereal calming energy. Body sculpture, quiet colors: a journey of muted colors of creams, slate grays, mint greens, rose pinks, light purples, and burnt golden hues, and loud fashion statement, was the characteristic of this collection. It is a minimalist collection, but rich in shape and fabrics. The crafted dresses, are exquisite,looking like be floating silhouettes, very...very Karan.

MORE THAN WORDS...

Extreme is an American rock band, headed by frontmen Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, that reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and 2×platinum in October 1992.[4] That album featured the acoustic ballad single "More Than Words," which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in the United States.

THE TRIBUTE OF LIGHTS...

The Tribute in Light is held every year to remember the nearly 3,000 people who died in the attacks on the Twin Towers. At 11 year of
attack by Al Qaeda, the U.S. is ready for an emotional day
Like every year, Manhattan lights with huge beams of light to honor the nearly 3,000 people who died after planes hijacked by members of the terrorist network Al Qaeda will impact on the Twin Towers.
The Tribute in Light, symbolic representation of collapsed buildings in the attacks, will screen four miles in the sky and will be visible Yorker 60 miles radius. The project was created by the Municipal Art Society of New York.
From tonight, the light rays invade the dark silence of the Big Apple.

SAGGERMANIA...

^{Sagging is a manner of wearing trousers (slacks, shorts, pants or jeans) below the waist, sometimes below the level of the buttocks, with one’s boxer shorts showing, revealing much of the underwear. Sagging is predominantly a male fashion.}

^{An individual that participates in the practice of sagging may be referred to as a sagger.}

^{The origin of this originally young, urban, black style is unknown. A commonly accepted origin theory was that it was an outgrowth of prison, where inmates clothing were often too large and sometimes no belts were allowed.  According to Greg Mathis, sagging was adopted from the United States prison system where belts are prohibited to keep prisoners from using them as weapons or in committing suicide by hanging themselves.}

^{There is also some evidence that a male showing his underwear-covered buttocks in prison was, at one point, linked to a desire for sex, or a mark that a prisoner was “owned” by another prisoner, sexually.}

^{The style was later popularized by hip-hop artists in the 1990s. It has since become a symbol of freedom and cultural awareness among some youths or a symbol of their rejection of the values of mainstream society.}

^{I am agree with Will Welch, that , in his Manifesto, at GQ magazine of September 2012, titled: If I See One More Ass, I'm Gonna Crack!, said: You know, It's interesting: Several American hamlets have made headlines for proposing borderline unconstitutional (and racist) laws against young black men sagging their jeans. Yet you never see the butt cracks of these kids in their skinny skateboarder denim- just a whole lot of boxer brief. It can be shocking, sure, but it's never indecent, and most important it's intentional, which is the difference between provocative and embarrassing.}

^{If you want to see the essence of sagger boys, in New York, you have to go to the West Indian parade in Brooklying, at the Labor Day, to see the sexiest boys, sagging in this parade.}
