			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Nothing is more  exciting for women than taking a look at the new fashion style and design on the  runway for each season. It is because fashion is created for women who  naturally love dressing up. As the representative of the newest fashion trend is  celebrities. As everybody knows that celebrities will always be surrounded by the  lights which means it is easier for fashion designer to use them as their  fashion agents. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fashion in the period throughout the years 1900-1909</strong> in European and European-influenced and American women with the countries continued the period, as do women&#8217;s broad hats and full &#8220;Gibson girl&#8221; hairstyles. A new, columnar silhouette introduced by the couturiers of Paris late in the decade signaled the approaching abandonment of the corset as an indispensable garment of fashionable women.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="&lt;a rel=" nofollow="">free&#8221;&gt;http://www.himfr.com/buy-free_shirts/&#8221;&gt;free</a> shirtsWith the decline of the bustle, sleeves began to increase in size and the 1830s silhouette of an hourglass shape became popular again. The fashionable silhouette in the early 1900s was that of a mature woman, with full low bust and curvy hips. The &#8220;health corset&#8221; of this period removed pressure from the abdomen and created an S-curve silhouette.[1]</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In 1897, Silhouette slimmed and elongated a considerable amount. Blouses and dresses were full in front and puffed into a &#8220;pigeon breast&#8221; or monobosom shape of the early 20th century that looked over the narrow waist, which sloped from back to front and was often accented with a sash or belt. Necklines were supported by very high boned collars. [2]</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Skirts brushed the floor, often with a train, even for day dresses, in mid-decade.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Around 1908, the fashion houses of Paris began to show a new silhouette, with a thicker waist, flatter bust, and narrower hips. By the end of the decade the most fashionable skirts cleared the floor and approached the ankle. The overall silhouette narrowed and straightened, beginning a trend that would continue into the years leading up to the Great War.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Frothy washable day dresses of translucent linen or cotton, called lingerie dresses, were worn in warm climates. These were trimmed lavishly with tiny pintucks, lace insertions, embroidery, and passementerie. Their origins lie in the artistic or aesthetic dress and the adoption of the uncorseted tea gown for wear outside the home.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Unfussy, tailored clothes were worn for outdoor activities and traveling. The shirtwaist, a costume with a bodice or waist tailored like a man&#8217;s shirt with a high collar, was adopted for informal daywear and became the uniform of working women. Wool or tweed suits called tailor-mades or (in French) tailleurs featured ankle-length skirts with matching jackets; ladies of fashion wore them with fox furs and huge hats. Two new styles of hats that became popular at the turn of the century is the automobile bonnet for riding and sailor&#8217;s hat worn for tennis matches, bicycling and croquet.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This decade marked the full flowering of Parisian haute couture as the arbiter of styles and silhouettes for women of all classes. Designers sent fashion models or mannequins to the Longchamp races wearing the latest styles.[4], and fashion photographs identified the creators of individual gowns.[5] In 1908, a new silhouette emerged from Callot Soeurs, Vionnet at the house of Doucet, and most importantly, Paul Poiret[6]. The styles were variously called Merveilleuse, Dir?ctoire, and Empire after the fashions of the turn of the nineteenth century, which they resembled in their narrow skirts and raised waistlines.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The new styles featured form-fitting gowns with high or undefined waists, or ankle-length skirts and long tunic-like jackets, and required a different &#8220;straight line&#8221; corset. The Paris correspondent for Vogue described this new look as &#8220;straighter and straighter &#8230; less bust, less hips, and more waist&#8230;how slim, how graceful, how elegant&#8230;!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The sack coat or lounge coat continued to replace the frock coat for most informal and semi-formal occasions. Three-piece suits consisting of a sack coat with matching waistcoat (U.S. vest) and trousers were worn, as were matching coat and waistcoat with contrasting trousers, or matching coat and trousers with contrasting waistcoat. Trousers were shorter than before, often had turn-ups or cuffs, and were creased front and back using the new trouser press.[9]</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Waistcoats fastened high on the chest. The usual style was single-breasted.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The blazer, a navy blue or brightly-colored or striped flannel coat cut like a sack coat with patch pockets and brass buttons, was worn for sports, sailing, and other casual activities.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Norfolk jacket remained fashionable for shooting and rugged outdoor pursuits. It was made of sturdy tweed or similar fabric and featured paired box pleats over the chest and back, with a fabric belt. Worn with matching breeches or (U.S. knickerbockers), it became the Norfolk suit, suitable for bicycling or golf with knee-length stockings and low shoes, or for hunting with sturdy boots or shoes with leather gaiters.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The cutaway morning coat was still worn for formal day occasions in Europe and major cities elsewhere, with striped trousers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The most formal evening dress remained a dark tail coat and trousers with a dark or light waistcoat. Evening wear was worn with a white bow tie and a shirt with a winged collar. The less formal dinner jacket or tuxedo, which featured a shawl collar with silk or satin facings, now generally had a single button. Dinner jackets were appropriate formal wear when &#8220;dressing for dinner&#8221; at home or at a men&#8217;s club. The dinner jacket was worn with a white shirt and a dark tie.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Knee-length topcoats and calf-length overcoats were worn in winter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those Generation Xers who never thought they’d see the extreme puffy and acid-washed <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.designerfashionhq.com/">80s fashion</a> return to the forefront of style in the 21st Century – how wrong you were! From classic Lacoste and monogrammed preppy style to vintage Madonna “Lucky Star” looks, the best of 80s fashion is back for a whole new generation of fashionistas.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The hottest looks in fashion today are totally retro, right out of the 80s. Thankfully, today’s 80s fashion has a sharper, smarter, and more sophisticated edge. Elegant one shoulder tops and dresses show how the old 80s fashion style has evolved into modern, artful pieces. Skinny jeans are the perfection of what the “pinned” jeans of yesteryear were going for. Today they are form fitting, flattering and ultra chic.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>As in the 80s, bigger is still better. Celebrities like Kate Moss, Beyonce and Drew Barrymore have shown off their “bigger” qualities on the red carpet recently – big shoulder pads, big, puffy sleeves and big ruffled skirts. <br />&#13;<br />
Leggings, which never entirely disappeared off the fashion radar, are back with a vengeance and have once again become a women’s fashion mainstay.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Even accessories are big and flashy. From oversized, metallic handbags to thick belts to chunky earrings, necklaces and layered bangle bracelets, a return to 80s fashion makes a bold statement.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Luxe 80s fabrics are also back in full force. Real fur coats and form-fitting leather jackets have donned the likes of fashion icons like Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham as of late.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Even dressed-down, off the shoulder tops paired with classic Reebok footwear has made its way to the red carpet on Scarlett Johansson. Sexy is also “back” with 80s hallmark lingerie as day wear and the definitive 80s mini skirt – in ruffles, leather, and even madras plaid.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Whether you were there the first time or are just discovering the appeal of 80s style, it’s a bold, colorful statement for the new millennium.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By the end of the First World War, many changes in fashion came about.  Short bobs became in, as well as pinafores worn above the knee. Corsets were gone, and women suddenly dressed like boys. The androgynous style soon became the in thing by 1925.  Sportswear became hot trends among men and women, with popular designers Jean Patou with Coco Chanel helping popularize the athletic look.</p>
<p>Chanel was one of the most popular fashion movers of the era, as she was responsible for introducing chic and futuristic designs.  She helped in making popular the bob hairstyle, use of jersey knit among women, as well as use of the little black dress.  She also made popular the use of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.salwarkameezindia.com/pendant-365.htm"><strong>jewelry</strong></a> and knitwear among her clients. </p>
<p>Another popular French designer of the era was Jeanne Lanvin, who was responsible for introducing intricate trimmings, as well as impressive embroideries and decorations.  By the middle of the decade she had manufactured an impressive line of products ranging from men’s wear, sportswear, and lingerie. </p>
<p>Still another renowned designer of the decade was Jean Patou. While hers was never mainstream, Patou’s <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.salwarkameezindia.com/salwar-kameez-560.htm"><strong>style</strong></a> was eccentric and original.  She was known for her garments with clean lines, emphasized by luxury and practicality. </p>
<p>Men’s wear became emphasized youthfulness and relaxation. Formality was being forgotten, as men preferred to show off their youthfulness. They wore short suit jackets, as well as short tuxedo, sweaters and short pants.  Another trend was the London cut, made popular by the English tailor Scholte.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is certainly impossible to be perfect all the time and every woman one day looks at the old photos and wonders what made her dress that way.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Here is <strong>a list of tips how to avoid fashion mistakes that are common for women</strong>, even for those who are &#8220;professional&#8221; fashionistas.</p>
<p>Never rely completely on TV shows and fashion magazines. You are risking becoming the fashion victim, fashion shows and reviews should help to generate ideas and inspire you, but let&#8217;s face it &#8211; you are not a model and buying the super expensive dress that looked gorgeous on Kate Moss won&#8217;t make you look the same.Do not buy clothes that don&#8217;t fit. Never buy something that is too small for you thinking that you will definitely lose weight by the time you&#8217;ll be wearing it. The same thing is about the length of your jacket sleeves.Do not mish-mash your wardrobe. Many people think that buying odds and ends on sale is very wise &#8211; it really helps you save money, but it may as well kill your wardrobe. Having a lot of different cheap unmatchable stuff in your closet won&#8217;t make you a fashionista.Many women are devoted to classical style but it is necessary sometimes to give up your favorite pair of jeans and change it for the stylish silky skirt, for example. Do not get too comfortable with definite clothes, and try to take it not that seriously &#8211; it&#8217;s not the family member or your favorite pet, it&#8217;s just a piece of fabric!Choose the right underwear. Celebrities are stuck into push-up bras, body trimmers and tops to fit into the designer outfit because the right lingerie can actually do miracles for your figure. &#13;</p>
<p>So, just keep in mind these simple tips standing infront of your wardrobe in the morning and your everyday $ 1 mln look is garanteed! <img src='http://diva-id.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
