Miuccia Prada – An Italian Famous Fashion Designer

Written By: admin - • •

Miuccia Prada is a famous fashion designer that took the brand founded by her grandfather and turned it into an international powerhouse. Mario Prada started the Prada brand in 1913 and was designed to offer luxury leather bags to royalty. When Miuccia took over the family business in 1978, a lot of things changed while many remained the same; the quality of the bags and the materials used to make them hasn’t changed until today and many bags are still made by hand to preserve the exclusivity feeling as good as possible. She had help from her husband, Patrizio Bertelli who helped the brand become more commercial while remaining luxury and exclusive to the elite; today, he is still very much involved in the commercial aspect of the brand.

 It seems that Miuccia Prada didn’t always dream of running the family business and was very interested in Political Science, a field in which she obtained a PhD. One of her other passions was art and theater and she studied and performed as a mime for 5 years. Her first women’s collection was ready in 1989 after having quite some success with black nylon handbag designs. The men’s collection was a bit late to appear, in 1995, but it marked the beginning of a new market for Prada.

The Miu Miu brand was introduced by this famous fashion designer to fill a gap between the common clothes and the luxury ones. Miu Miu is meant to offer affordable fashionable clothes for women and is named after her nickname. As fashion can sometimes be considered art and with her rich past, it is only normal for Miuccia Prada to be a big art collector as well as show her support towards the young artists.

While the Prada brand had a very good image from the start, it is Miuccia and her husband that took that potential and turned it into the brand we all know today, one of the most famous names in the fashion industry; not only were they perfect for each other in their personal life but they also proved the be an amazing combination as far as business goes.

The 2012 Oscars Prove White Is No Longer Exclusively Bridal

Written By: admin - • •

The greatest fashion event of the year, the evening known as the Oscars, is just another opportunity for starts to present their most glamorous outfits. Three color trends could be noticed at the 84th edition of the Academy Awards. One of them is the bridal white which featured some of the best looking outfits.

If in 2011, Gwyneth Paltrow got numerous votes when she walked down the Red Carpet in a stunning gold Calvin Klein sheath dress, she did not let her fans down this year either. Beautiful and rebellious, Gwyneth proved that she perfectly masters the codes of 2012 fashion trends when she appeared in an equally beautiful snow-white Tom Ford dress. The American designer’s collection did not appear on the British catwalks at London Fashion Week. It was secretly displayed to the a few editors accompanied by a breakfast buffet and no photos were allowed. This increased the sensational element within Gwynnie’s appearance. The simplicity of the strapless one shoulder dress was emphasized by the lack of necklace as well as by the natural make-up and by the sleek hair style. The only bold elements were the cape she dared to wear, the cuff stoned bracelet and matching ring.

Although she definetely had the best looking outfit of the evening, Gwyneth Paltrow had a lot of competition. Milla Jovovich looked absolutely fabulous in her Elie Saab silvery white dress. Her asymmetrical dress embroidered with sequins highlights the former model’s highly sensual body. As far as accessories are concerned, Mila Jovovich put on jewelry signed by Jacob and Company. Discrete, but very glamorous, the star’s earrings add value to her outfit and to her dressed to the nines haircut.

Jennifer Lopez and Rooney Mara certainly made a splash on the Red Carpet with their glamorous outfits. The 42 year old star of Latin origin accompanied her very shiny low-cut Zuhair Murad dress solely by a pair of earrings. The total lack of accessories can be noticed with Rooney Mara. The disturbingly beautiful actress wore a white Givenchy dress, highlighting her black ebony hair, her white skin, blue eyes and red lips. However, the bridal inncent touch of white does not seem to ensure success for everyone. Some outfits such as those wore by Penelope Ann Miller, Shailene Woodley and Kelly Ripa were unconvincing and controversial.

A Wet Hair Look For 2012

Written By: admin - • •

Every new season comes with various new trends and there are many things to consider when looking to obtain the perfect look. The clothes, the accessories, the makeup are all essential but it is also important to not forget about the hair style. 2012 comes with quite a few designs, some inspired from the past, others with tendencies towards the future. There is one particular hair style that really stood out lately, the wet hair look. Models looking like they just got out of the shower with sopping hair and glistening skin made a big impression for spring 2012 and the trend is already becoming popular. While the look is nothing new and quite easy to achieve at home, it is a bold step to make it one of the key styles for such an important fashion year.

To make sure that the effect doesn’t just last until the hair gets dry, the style is not really made with water but with argan hair treatment that can offer the same look if done right. Once the hair gets that wet feel to it, there are many ways to shape it. Tying it in a ponytail seems to be the most popular because it inspires the look after a strong workout. Having it drop freely on the shoulders is also good and it all depends on how you prefer to wear it; the style is easily recognized.

To really complete the look, the skin must be really hydrated and with a small glow. Light makeup is recommended and no bright lipstick; it is very important not to mix different looks in with the wet hair because the results might not be as good as you imagine them to be.

Looking like you just got out of the shower is a great style for this spring and every woman should try it out because it can be a lot of fun. It might take a bit longer to achieve that natural wet look but it will certainly be worth the effort when you get it right; it inspires strength and determination.

Wrap Dress – Perfect Party Dress

Written By: admin - • •

A wrap dress is more of a casual dress worn by women during every day activities but it can also be suitable for parties, depending on the style, design and fabrics used. The dress is actually formed by placing one side of it over another and forming a v-shaped neckline. It’s also very feminine as the neckline and the torso part are tight while the rest of the dress is flare, making the woman have an hourglass figure. The dress can be opened or the sides can be sewn together, depending on the design; however, in both cases, the dress looks like it’s made of two pieces that go over another.

This type of dress is a great everyday dress if you buy one in a neutral color, which can be combined with most of your accessories. If you want something for summer, you can get one in a fabric that will allow you to keep cool and also has some brighter colors, even some nice looking patterns such as flowers or abstract shapes.

When it comes to accessories that can be easily combined with this dress, belts are great as they mark your waist even better. All types of belts go well with this dress, just remember to wear those that look better on you. If you are very skinny avoid really big belts; on the other hand, if you are overweight, you should avoid small and thin belts. The good thing about this type of dress is the fact that it can be worn by everyone so you can skip the belt if you don’t know what to choose.

The jewelry pieces suited for a wrap dress are those who are a bit simpler and elegant. Due to its complex design, you should avoid wearing really big or really colorful jewelry that stand out. They will only make you look like you are wearing too much or trying to catch people’s attention and you should feel elegant and classy when wearing a wrap dress.

A perfect dress for prom, the wrap dress promises to give even the most unfeminine body shape the elegance it requires.
