Fashion Lady Crap

Archive for May, 2009

Almost every girl in their preteen years pass through slumber parties with their best buds; and keeping themselves up all night with fun activities is the most fun part of the night. With an all girls group, thinking of fun and exciting themes for games is fun; try out fashion designing with your own show all night for an all-girl fun slumber.

Strutting yourself in front of close friends is actually fun rather than a stressful, break a leg kind of thing. With a whole fashion show you worked on can even be better, and, can make you feel more like a superstar.

1. May the Best Wig Win: Building a real-looking wig can be perfect to last the whole night. With the use of straws used for tying, combing these will give you a hair-like texture. You can stick these strings on a shower curtain or a stiff helmet and cut away. Show off your skills being a hairdresser and make several complicated styles.

2. Paper Doll: With the use of print brochures, building real looking garments can be mind boggling. If you have excess cash, opt for brochure printing with no folds but with colors to make your paper materials more interesting. With a group of friends, you can build patched skirts, capes, blouses, belts, or even swimsuits and feel just like a paper doll. The one with the most durable and fashionable design wins. Don’t forget to take pictures.

3. One color wardrobe: Pick on your favorite pop teen idol and raid your friend’s closet; with only one color, try to be creative in building a costume that best resembles your most-favored pop princess. You can also contribute and bring a few items of your own to have more options. The girl with the best get-up wins.

After making all of these things, you can build your own walkway with all these items joined together. With a fashion show, building a photo collage in the form of a brochure print can be a cute souvenir for you and your friends. Also, these collage items can be a good remembrance for even up to when you are older.

 

Whenever someone think fashion designers, traditional European countries like Italy and France come to mind as they are known for their fashion and style. However, in the last 30 years India has been through a revolution in terms of fashion, and even other industries, such as Information Technology, have seen a similar boom. To get this position Indian star designer ritu beri has big hand in this.

Ritu Beri is one of the top Indian fashion designers who have been continuously serving Indian fashion industry with her feminine and funky designer dresses. She is the shinning star of our country. The young and talented woman fashion designer Ritu Beri enrolled herself in the national Institute of Fashion Technology in 1988. She was amongst the few bright students who got the opportunity to associate with this prestigious institute.

Ritu Beri studied fashion arts from the institute of NIFT, New Delhi. She is the only Indian designer to be featured in promoter’s magazine and this forecasts fashion trends all over the world. She is the author of the personal fashion book, in which 101 Ways to Look Good are mentioned and she has won an award for this. She also serves on the board of Governors at NIFT. She is an honorary patron of the Savera Association which is a popular charity involved in improving the lives of Indian woman.

She is known as the first Indian designer to present a collection in Paris. There is no comparison for her style and elegance. Today her designs have become a highlight in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, USA, London and Paris. Ritu Beri’s ready-to-wear line is an impressive couture collection that had the French media raving about her.

To express her love she has launched an organization ‘caring means sharing’. This organization collects funds for animal cares throughout the world.

Have we hit upon the right idea of Fashion? The process which has been going on ever since the world began seems to have a defect in it. When you have got a woman thoroughly civilized and well fashioned you cannot do anything more with her. And it is worth reflection what we should do, what could we spend our energies on.

We do not like to admit that fashion process has its cycles, that fashion and women, like trees and fruit, grow, ripen, and then decay. The world has always had a conceit that the globe could be made entirely fashionable, and all over the home of a society constantly growing better. In order to accomplish this we have striven to eliminate bad taste in women and in nature: 

Is there anything more unsatisfactory than a perfect color, perfect fabric, perfect texture, design and print brought into the most absolute harmony of taste and culture? What more can a woman do with it? What satisfaction has a woman in it if she really gets to the end of her power to improve it? There have been such nearly ideal situations, and how strong nature, always working against woman and in the interest of untamed wildness, likes to riot in them and reduce them to picturesque destruction! And what sweet sadness, pathos, romantic suggestion, the human mind finds in such a ruin! And a fashion that has attained its end in all possible culture, entire refinement in style, in tastes, in the art of elegant intellectual and luxurious living–is there nothing pathetic in that? 

London is probably the most civilized centre the world has ever seen; there are gathered more of the elements of that which we reckon the best. Where in history, unless someone puts in a claim for the French Lady, shall we find a woman so nearly approaching the standard we have set up of civilization as the English Lady, refined by inheritance and tradition, educated almost beyond the disturbance of enthusiasm, and cultivated beyond the chance of surprise? We are speaking of the highest type in manner, information, training, fashion, in the acquisition of what the world has to give. Could these women have conquered the world? Is it possible that our highest civilization has lost something of the rough and admirable element that we admire in the heroes of Homer and of Elizabeth? What is this London, the most civilized city ever known? Why, a considerable part of its population is more unfashionable, more hopelessly unstylish, than any wild race we know, because they are the refuse and slag of the civilization, if we dare say that. We can do something with a degraded race of bad fashion, if it has any stamina in it. What can be done with those who are described as East-Londoners? 

Every great city has enough of the same element. Is this an accident, or is it a necessity of the refinement that we insist on calling fashion? We are always sending out designers, models to savage or perverted nations, we are always sending out emigrants to occupy and reduce to order neglected territory. This is our main business. How would it be if this business were really accomplished, and there were no more peoples to teach our way of life to, and no more territory to bring under productive cultivation? Without the necessity of putting forth this energy, a survival of the original force in man, how long would our fashion last? In a word, if the world were actually all civilized, would not it be too weak even to ripen? We have a gay confidence that we can do something for Africa. Can we reform London and Paris and New York, which our own hands have made? 

If we cannot, where is the difficulty? Is this a hopeless world? Must it always go on by spurts and relapses, alternate fashion and bad fashion, and the bad fashion being necessary to keep us employed and growing? Or is there some mistake about our ideal of fashion? Does our process too much eliminate the rough vigor, courage, stamina of the race? After a time do we just live, or try to live? 

These questions are too deep for these pages. Let us make the world pleasant, and throw a cover over the refuse. We are doing very well, on the whole, considering what we are and the materials we have to work on. And we must not leave the world so perfectly civilized that the inhabitants, two or three centuries ahead, will have nothing to do.
