PRINTS PRINTS & again PRINTS!
When we talk about print in fashion and in ur life..... How much u really like Prints??? You Don't better you NOW!! So if we talk about it i cannot stop by saying the bold begining of using colours and Kaleidoscopic prints presented by ETRO in SS 10/11 Mens Collection. When all Model's walking on the ramp in blurry hawaiian prints, vivid paisley (indian Motif) ,painterly splashes were Tosses with bold checks and mismashed Strips .
And Now its 3rd hit of using inspiration of prints which also partially included Paisley in it. BUT by WHO?????? Its PRADA their new print collection i know what u must be thinking So did I ....... but i love the way they put all kinda of Prints together for Accessories Bags And Shoes.

Some bags has different way of presenting Prints too.They must have been following the fifth avenue idea......... ( Blink Blink!!! ) And seriously you cannot stop any one to use the same inspiration and idea ,once its out in the global market. So if you really are prada fashion lover ,better you start liking Prints this time of fashion as I did. :)

sundaygirl
i was super excited to get the opportunity to interview JADE from SUNDAYGIRL! i loved her style in her video "four floors" and wanted to know more about her. she agreed to answer some questions...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it annoying to keep being be asked if the name SundayGirl was inspired
by the Blondie hit? I know it's not the inspiration, but it must be asked a lot.
The name Sunday Girl came from working in a local old fashioned pet shop
in my hometown, Broxbourne for a few years. I worked every Sunday but no
one really knew my name so I would just get referred to as the “Sunday girl.”
I know you're 21 and from the UK...How does your age and living in the UK
influence your music and style?
Two years ago I moved to Brixton to do an art degree in Wimbledon I think
that brought out a more independent creativity. I really experimented with
my writing and production musically as well as producing pieces for my set
design degree, which I found were closely linked.
In my teens I went a bit mad going through loads of style changes, as
everyone does I suppose but I think its great to experiment with fashion and
make and destroy clothes and really find what you like. I think my style now
is quite classic, tailored and masculine. I love dressing like a boy it’s a
contrast to my big girly hair.
Music influences my style too, I mean one minute I was in a ska band the next
a ukulele band doing old jazz covers.
Style Icons?
My main style icon is Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. I love how she turned clothes
designed for men into something that women could wear too. I also take
influences from Jane Birkin, Daphne Guinness, Debbie Harry , Karl Lagerfeld
and Edie Sedgwick.
Favorite designers and/or places to shop?
H&M and Zara for the basics and my loft, my nans wardrobe a bit of car boot
sales and vintage shops for making it personal.
I noticed you wearing stripes in the video...are you as obsessed with stripes as I am?
Yes I am a bit obsessed with stripes but anything Parisian and sea related really.
Words to live by?
“get good at asking” + “if you don’t act on life it has a habit of acting on you”
Favorite City?
My favourite place has to be Hastings. My dad has a caravan there, which
I go to most weekends to write, draw and shop.
Beauty product you couldn't live without?
I'm bad with makeup I never buy my own, I steal everyone else’s but I think
I could live without my Clarins Bi-serum after a night out.
Do you read any fashion blogs? If so, which ones?
LOOKBOOK.nu and I admire Tavi Gevinsons blog, StyleRookie.
What's in your bag?
My Dad’s raybans , lyric book, a fork, tooth brush, ideas book, diary, camera,
devon floral sweets. My vintage Cartier wallet and some cds.

thanks jade!

VELVET Rabbit!!!
I have been planning and making writeup for my latest story about VELVET. This time every body been velvet as a substitute of FUR! With all animal killing right and avoid them we should use fake fur!!!if you a desperate user of fur than only.But Why fake only use velvet only out international many designer used Velvet in a amazing way to create fashion with it. I loved it is that's there Velvet is any ways going to FAD again. But for a change WE should have it in our Wardrobe for sure .
Velvet just might be the most polarizing textile of them all. For some of us, the tufted fabric is an unpleasant reminder of the stiff party dresses donned for the yearly family photo shoot. For others, like Rachel Roy, one of many designers who used modern versions of the densely piled material on the Fall runways, it’s the ultimate luxury. “I don’t use fur, so I was looking for fabrics that felt as rich and soft to the touch,” the designer told Style.com. She cited “a return to elegance and a sense of relaxed glamour all around” as the reason for the fabric’s popularity. This isn’t the velvet you remember: Curve-enhancing jewel-toned evening dresses popped up at Dolce & Gabbanaand Antonio Berardi, whileAlexander Wang and Richard Nicoll turned out plush trousers (Wang’s are pictured, left) that were cool enough to quell even the ugliest school-era memories

Who LOVES Burberry???? I do
With all the negative talk surrounding fashion's earlier-is-better, off-season delivery schedule (see this month'sVogue article penned by Plum Sykes entitled "Seasons of Our Discontent"), some brands are feeling pressure to offer items in store that shoppers can buy now and wear now.
The idea of 'Buy Now, Wear Now' has been top of mind for Burberry, who is launching an April Showers collection this month. The 30-piece line is supposed to keep customers shopping until the first fall 2010 deliveries (shearlings! furs!) drop in June, while giving them the pieces they actually need today—namely transitional basics like trench coats, rain boots, and umbrellas.
Today Burberry also announced a 7 percent sales increase in the second half of last year.MoniCa singh

Go TECHNICAL!!!
As fashion consumers and obsessives, we rarely get the opportunity to see anything other than the finished look but as fashion designer & bloggers as well i m always interested to understand how the designer's sketches become reality. Man designer always has small bot inside ....by using their mind of a kid playing in his textbook making robots , wars guns and motors. So this time as asked Matthew Miller to tell us about his drawing book & help us see through the studio door and in to the sketchbook, Matthew sent through a number of key technical drawings...
THE FUTURE OF MENSWEAR DESIGNS!!
