Transformed Fashion Shows Into Great Spectacle






Alexander McQueen had been labeled enfant terrible and the hooligan of English fashion because of his bad boy image in the fashion world. His collections and fashion shows were proof of this image as they often attracted controversies. One of his earliest shows that featured the “bumster” pants had people in a state of shock after his models paraded the low-rise pants that partially exposed their buttocks. The term “bum cleavage” was actually coined to refer to the exposed area of the buttock. It was in 1992 that the “bumsters” came out which at that time were only worn by a small group of builders in London. This McQueen creation was actually responsible for starting a trend in low-rise jeans which is now everywhere.
From the very start it had always been a habit of McQueen to shock his audience by coming up with fashion shows that were at times repulsive and disturbing and other times enchanting and bizarre. His 1995 fall collection show which had become known as the “highland rape” showed models wearing torn clothes with pieces of them hanging down, looking perplexed and their hair in disarray as if abused and assaulted. The show was meant to depict the havoc that England brought to Scotland. In another show in 2000, his models were portrayed as mental patients imprisoned in a glass covered room which appeared as a mental ward to the audience viewing it. This scene had probably been taken by McQueen from one of his favorite Alfred Hitchcock suspense films.
In all his shows, McQueen made a display of extravagance and larger than life productions. His strong silhouettes provided dramatic and fantastical effects on the show. In 2003 for his spring collection, he created a shipwreck scene. Then in 2005, he made a human chess game out of his models while in his 2006 fall collection called “Widows of Culloden” he dressed up Kate Moss in waves of fabric and captured her image in a hologram shown at the center of the runway. In 2009, he created a heap of scraps out of materials he used as props in his previous fashion shows and turned it into the show’s centerpiece. His models were dressed in black and orange wearing hats that were actually umbrellas and their faces were made up to look like harlequins.
The British designer also made great use of modern technology, which in not a small way also helped revolutionize the world of fashion. He was the first designer to stream his show live on the internet. His Spring 2010 show at Paris Fashion Week called “Plato’s Atlantis” inspired by Darwin’s Origin of Species was shown to an audience of 6 million via a hologram using state-of-the-art equipment. This show was surreal as models were shown shedding off their old appearance and becoming underwater aliens or amphibian like creatures. It was also in this show that McQueen introduced the 10-inch high Armadillo shoes shaped like a lobster claw. While these may not be shoes that you want to wear to work, like most of Alexander McQueen's creations, it is a fashion item you are unlikely to forget.

 

Straight From The Runway: All You Need To Know Beauty Trends Guide






When it comes to beauty trends, every woman wants to ace them. Even if it’s not to the same degree as a super model or someone that has an entire fortune to splurge, but to some extent beauty trends are important to every woman, regardless of her background, preference or budget.
The way our society relates information to us in regard to up and coming beauty trends or trends that are now outdated, it should make us wonder why we all don’t look the same! Truth be told, there are so many different kinds of beauty trends out there, it’s impossible to keep up with them all, let alone sport them all. There isn’t a woman on earth who has the financial resources or the time for this impossible mission
Magazines continuously offer front cover glances at what kind of beauty trends are currently in style, making it easy for everyone to pick up on. A quick look through the shelf tells you big, Hollywood-style glasses are in and lace is out again. Magazines also offer articles within them that explain different kinds of trends and how to transform oneself from one “trendy” look to the next.
The fact that these beauty trends are usually first spotted on television or in newspapers and magazines first should give you enough clues that it probably isn’t your nameless neighbor who created the latest trend. If you are wondering who really does come up with them you certainly don’t have to look too far to find the answer. Yes, it is the top companies in the industry trying to market their products that make the current beauty trends flourish or flop. They practice demand manipulation all the time. Cosmetic companies realize that women want to refresh their look from time-to-time so they introduce new product lines each season and make it seem as if you will die without their new toys. Don’t forget to include the clothing industry in this thought, because they come up with many beauty trends as well.
One thing about beauty trends is that some of them never go away. They’re called classic, timeless styles. Let’s face it, we all know that society thinks of thin women as beautiful, and if you are not thin you are certainly not part of that trend which never seems to end. Of course, beauty trends like these have been known to be superficial and it all has to do with personal taste and preference. It is the beauty trends like what color make-up to wear during certain times of the year that continually change and grow. Beauty trends such as not wearing pink one year but it being all the rage the next year is what keeps the beauty industry alive and kicking.

Don’t stomp out of the house and rush to the nearest store only to buy the pink that you always know to be unsuitable for you. Trust your instincts, stay true to your own sense of style and you’ll never again have to wonder what they next big beauty trend will be

How To Use Make Up As A Fashion Accessories


Makeup can be one more accessory to your personal image and that’s why we are going to explain to you step by step the most flattering and easy trends so that this season you will be beautiful.
MAKEUP
There are various flattering trends this season. On the one hand, there is the natural look with earthy and gold tones, and neutral tones for the eyes and transparent but shinny lips. On the other hand, there is the sexier look with darker tones for the eyes from navy blue to purple, and (don’t forget black), and dark sexy lips.
ADVICE: Choose a look that works for you and one that you feel most comfortable with and follow the advice that we give you below.
FOUNDATION
Give a touch of something pearlescent to your foundation and you’ll achieve a modern and flattering look.
ADVICE: Apply your foundation to the entire face. Once it has been absorbed in to the skin, wait a few minutes for it to absorb, apply a small amount of illuminating powder in the T zone, forehead, cheekbones and chin. Blend it well with a brush for a pearly but natural effect. The result, light satiny skin.
COVER UP
Brighten your look by using a light cover up which is lighter than your skin tone over your foundation.
ADVICE: Blend it well around your eyes with your finger tip to take away any excess. And that’s it, a great look without bags and full of life.
EYES
For a natural look, use browns and neutral tones.
ADVICE: Apply a golden tone on the upper eyelid to achieve the look and give it a touch of light. If you want your eyes to have a stronger look, use a dark brown pencil on the inner eye.
For a sexy look, use darker tones, the ones you like the most, from navy blue to bottle green. Or if you like, use grays or blacks.
ADVICE: Don’t forget to put the darker color on your eyelid putting a blended line next to the eye lashes and put makeup on the outer eye with a black pencil. Lighten the eyelid just under the eyebrow with a pearly or shinny white for a sexy arousing look.
ESSENTIAL: Everyone notices mascara so curl your eyelashes beforehand and use two cotes to give them volume.
CHEEKBONES
Give your cheekbones a healthy look with soft rosy natural colors.
ADVICE: Blend blush well with a clean brush and loose powder on your cheekbones.
LIPS
If you want a natural look, or you have put too much lipstick on, apply lip gloss for a juicy natural look.
ADVICE: Choose a lip gloss that also shines and protects your lips.
On the other hand, if you want to forget the natural look, try a passion red or a bright fushia. The result, sexy provocative, but natural lips.
ADVICE: Use a well-sharpened lip pencil that is very similar to your lipstick to outline your lips. Do this before applying lipstick so that the color will last longer and it will be easier to use darker tones.
THE FINAL TOUCH
Wash your hair with a rinse similar to the natural color of your hair to make it brighter but without changing the color.
ADVICE: Ask you hairdresser. There are rinses that naturally moisturize and give shine to the hair.
