John Galliano News. Disgraced Couturier Is Given a New Chance to Work After a Scandal

Oscar De la Renta

Huge amount of bad press has been said about John Galliano after he was famously fired in one day after making anti-Semitic remarks. After heading Dior fashion label for over a decade and creating a new brand John Galliano, designer was let go officially and non-reversibly from the LVMH. Galliano was further disgraced in court for not apologizing for his terrible remarks against both Jewish and Asian people. Galliano was in consequence found guilty .

And fashion world went on as usual. Scandal appeared and slowed down. Dior hired a new couturier. John Galliano glasses collection was indefinitely put on hold. But the talent is not forgotten. Geniuses deserve a second chance. And apparently, John Galliano is about to get his.

It has been reported that today, Oscar de la Renta offered John Galliano to work in his creative studio. Galliano apparently spent past two years in rehab on and off treating his alcohol and anger management disorders. De la Renta said “John and I have known each other for many years and I am a great admirer of his talent. He has worked long and hard on his recovery and I am happy to give him the opportunity to reimmerse himself in the world of fashion and reacclimate in an environment where he has been so creative.” The working project is rumored to be invented by Anna Wintour, a Voque magazine Editor in Chief.

John Galliano is now moving to New York to create again, and hopefully in a company of many Jewish customers (ex. Sarah Jessica Parker, Chelsea Clinton etc) of De la Renta will receive forgiveness and inspiration.

How To Save Money On Prom Night

Prom night is exciting, but it can also be very expensive. Once you take into account the ticket prices, dinner out if your prom doesn’t host a meal, your dress or tuxedo, hair, makeup and nails. Then if you decide to rent a limo on top of everything else, the price is getting really steep at this point. As exciting as this might is, not everyone has the budget to fit all these items into the night. So if you happen to be wondering how to save money on your big night, below we have some tips and tricks that can have you looking just as stylish as everyone else, but for half of the cost.

Your Dress For Prom

If you buy your dress you could be looking at a bill of $100-$400 with accessories included. This is really steep considering you’ll only be wearing this for one night. A way to cut your cost is to rent your dress. This is a great way to save money, and remember you’re only going to be wearing this for under 12 hours, and no one will ever know that you rented it.  Make your own dress if you have the talent for design. This is a cheap way, plus you can customize it for your figure, and get exactly what you want. No compromising that way.

Prom Dinner

If you’re lucky you will have dinner included in your prom night, but if this is not an option that your school is offering, then it’s common to go to dinner. Considering that you’re all dressed up, you’re going to want to go to a very classy restaurant, and they have a hefty price tag on their food. An option that will save you money and still provide you with a fun dinner is to get a group of your friends together and make your prom dinner. Each person will be assigned a task to help make it go smoothly. You can plan your menu weeks in advance, and who is bringing what.

A Ride To The Prom

It’s natural to want to show up at prom with style and class in a nice limousine. The problem with this is it’s very costly. You’re going to be looking at hundreds of dollars for a ride, a single ride! The worst part of that is, that everyone will be so excited, and worried about how they are getting there that most people won’t even notice how you arrived at the prom. So it’s not a bad idea to save money and have your parents take you. If that’s not cool enough for you, a friend or date can pick you up. This will save you quite a bit of money, and still get your there on time.

What To Do After Prom?

There will be hotel parties, clubbing parties and many more options to attend after prom. The cheapest way to celebrate your big night is to have a house party. Invite your friends; everyone can chip in and bring things. This is fun, cheap and a great way to end your big night with your closest friends.

Prom Dresses To Fit Every Shape And Size

Today’s prom dresses come in many different shapes, styles, and sizes. You may see one in a magazine or on TV and fall in love with it, and decide that’s going to be your dream dress, and you must wear it for prom. The problem is that not all dresses are made for all the different shapes and sizes of today’s modern teen girl. There are some things to take into consideration when deciding which one will look best on your specific shape.

prom night

Which Dress Is The Right One For You?

 

Tight-Fitting Dress- These are always in style. They conform to you shape, they are designed to flatter and show off every curve of your body. They can come in strapless, thin strapped, or even full arm sleeves. They can be very short, knee length, or maybe the one you want is a full length with a side or back slit. Often these dresses are designed for the female who is either lucky enough to be naturally slim, or work out and eat right, which results in a toned, fit bodies that have flat tummies, and almost no bootie.  This style of dress is not designed to flatter a pear-shaped body, nor one that has some extra weight on it. So unless you have a slim, toned physic this dress may not be the best option.

High-Waist Dress- Thick belts on dresses have become fashionable again. These are deigned to bring out and accentuate the girls’ hips when they have more of a straight waste line, have a longer upper body and are tall. If you were naturally “hippy” this would not be the best selection for you to wear, as it may make you look overly “hippy”. This is also not a good look on an individual who has a short upper body, or if you happen to be short.

Ball Gowns- When you wear these long flowing gowns you can almost ensure that they will look good on you. If you happen to be a big-busted girl, ball gowns or A-line gowns look great on you. Smaller busted girls would look better in an empire ball gown. If you pick an empire gown with detailed beading, ruffles or embroidery on top, it will make you appear to be bigger chested. When you’re a wide shouldered female deciding on a strapless gown, will work nicely to complement them, or even a nice cap sleeve gown will accent them beautifully.

It’s A Big Decision

 

Yes deciding on a dress is a big decision. Deciding can be hard depending on if you are a pear or apple-shaped lady, full-figured, or hourglass shaped, tall in thin, short and athletic. The best way to decide over all, do you feel comfortable in it? Do you like it on yourself? If yes to both, then buy it, go to your prom proud and know you look good, feel good, and have fun.

Gucci Glasses 2013. First Release This Year.

Gucci is taking this year by storm. At least in Canada. Their print ads are everywhere – in malls, on billboards, on bus stations and in many more public places. I do think that their next big step is to expand the stores across North America. In North America brand is one of the major factors why people buy certain things. So Gucci is pushing on to make their brand really really big.

So, what’s up with glasses this year. Well, I have good news and bad news. Good news is that Gucci added over 30 new models. This is a very large amount of models for one single release. I mean most of brands just have 30 models total. Gucci added 30 new to already existing 60. Bad news is that all of these so called new models, are actually put back into production best sellers over the years. You can actually find 10 year old models back in production. So, the strategy so far has been why fix it if it’s not broken. If glasses were selling like a hot cake then, why reinvent the wheel. Just give people what they want.

Enough said, here are our selection of the best 2013 models:

GUCCI 3553 GUCCI 2810 GUCCI 3010
Gucci 3553 Gucci 2810 Gucci 3010

High Paid Careers: Supermodels

Only an elite few women make it to the ranks of the supermodel. These women are mostly known by their first names, and can command many millions for an advertising campaign or for promoting a new perfume or fashion brand. Faces come and go out of fashion like the clothing brands they promote, but who is on the top of the catwalk league?

Gisele Bundchen


At the very top of the model pecking order is Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, who earns an estimated $45 million per year. Her success is due not only to her catwalk and catalogue modelling assignments but also due to her endorsements of products as diverse as shampoos and flip flops. She is married to a well-known American football player and has a son, Benjamin. Although at 32 Gisele is coming to the end of her modelling career, her high profile and budding acting career should keep her in the public eye for some time to come.

Kate Moss


One of the most enduring supermodels is Kate Moss, the girl from Croydon who was famously discovered standing in a queue at an airport. Kate was at the peak of her fame through the 1990s when her elfin, almost emaciated look was highly fashionable. She still works as the face of Rimmel cosmetics and has designed her own line of hourglass dresses and other items for Top Shop, and her total earnings are estimated to be around $10 million per year.

Natalia Vodianova


Natalia is not a household name in the way that Kate or Gisele are, but she shot to fame at the age of just 15 when she enrolled in a modelling academy and was immediately snapped up by top agencies. She is one of the hardest working catwalk and fashion magazine models, and has worked with top designers such as Stella McCartney, Chanel, Calvin Klein and Versace. Her “look” is sporty and athletic rather than overtly skinny, and she looks equally good in clingy hourglass dresses as in jeans, and it is this versatility which leads to her earning upwards of $8.5 million annually.

Adriana Lima

Another Brazilian, Adriana Lima’s career began when she won a modelling competition sponsored by a large US modelling agency. She is best known as being the face of lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret, which is huge in America but has yet to make a large scale impact on the UK market. Adriana also promotes Maybelline cosmetics and has two children with her basketball playing husband.

Doutzen Kroes


Another Victoria’s Secret model is Doutzen Kroes, who was born and raised in the Netherlands. She also promotes L’Oreal products and fronts high profile advertising campaigns for brands such as Valentino and Gucci. Since having her first child she has taken a step back from the catwalk work and has recently done campaigns for jewellery brand Tiffany. Since moving to New York to further her modelling career she has also been taking acting lessons and hopes to start taking on movie roles as her modelling career declines.

If you’re looking for great catwalk-inspired clothing then look no further than online retailers like Peppermint UK.  From a dress for hourglass figure, to fashion-forward footwear, you can find all of the latest trends being stomped on the catwalk by highest paid supermodels such as those mentioned above.

Kate Middleton Pregnant. Now for Her Fashion Choices

It’s officially been confirmed that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is pregnant. The speculation surrounding her fashion choices lately and her constantly touching her stomach went into overdrive with the couple eventually spilling the happy beans. Now, not only will the world be waiting to meet the new little royal, but with Kate considered a fashion icon, her clothing choices she will be closely monitored, as she will soon be sporting a baby bump.

Dressing HRH

The news of the pregnancy came a little earlier than the royals would have liked because Kate was taken to hospital earlier this week due to acute morning sickness. Once she’s back to her royal duties it will be just a matter of time that fashion houses will be designing maternity outfits for Kate Middleton to comfortably showcase her pregnancy. All Kate’s outfits have been selected by her and she has made a point of never endorsing designers, rather preferring to wear classic and chic designs by the likes of Stella McCartney and several other high-end brands.

Kate Middleton and Prince William were recently at St Andrews where Kate was seen in one of her many stylish dresses, wearing heels, and playing hockey with the students. The lady does not protest too much to doing any form of sport, pregnant or not. Clearly not wanting everyone to know their fantastic news just yet, the couple happily went about their royal duties and nothing was out of the ordinary, apart from the twinkle in Kate Middleton’s eye. Even then she couldn’t stop herself from wearing a dress that gave nothing away across her midsection.

Her recent fashion choices appear to have been anything chic that would not tell the story of an impending birth. Recently the Duchess was seen looking effortlessly chic in a Matthew Williamson dress, which had a flap across the front that gave nothing away. Kate Middleton knows her dresses, designers and how to keep the public guessing.

The royal pregnancy has the public waiting with baited breath and it’s been said that the royals are extremely delighted that William and Kate will be parents. Considering William’s protective nature surrounding Kate Middleton’s introduction to the life of a royal, it’s easy to believe their little one will have all the necessary love, nurturing and protection possible. If it’s a girl, there’s no doubt that the little Kate Middleton’s will be among the best dressed and most popular celebrity babies ever.

Vida Denning is a freelance writer who is a huge Kate Middleton fan. Her choices of formal jackets for William and herself as well as her dresses are turning her into an icon. All fashion fans are waiting to see her stylish maternity choices in the near future.

Yves Saint Laurent Sunglasses – Perfection from the Late Couturier

Yves Saint Laurent was a men of style. He was very opinionated men and self-conscious, which was a good thing at the time. It helped him to revolutionize fashion. On most of the pictures that survived today Yves is wearing thick black glasses of a rectangular shape. And while many trends in glasses went on and off, thick plastic black glasses never left the trend. This what Yves believed in, it will be trendy while you choose to wear it, once you put something else on – it will take over. Yves Saint Laurent sunglasses is no exception. They are very bold and all share similar style. You can almost look on one pair without staring at the logo and say “This is YSL”. Check these out:

Yves Saint Laurent Sketches

Yves Saint Laurent was a true master of sketches. He is known to draw not only for work, but also casually as a hobby. Just recently Voque magazine published an article about ongoing fight between two former lovers of Yves over the 300 sketches that are about to get exhibited. Apparently many of the sketches are erotic. But when it came down to Yves Saint Laurent work sketches, there was nothing erotic. In fact, his women models were always very serious, workaholic looking and a bit manly. Hence is his most famous invention – pant suit for a woman. There are thousands of Yves Saint Laurent sketches survived today. We can see that when new collection was planned Yves would produce dozens versions of a sketch to experiment with fabric, silhouettes or clothing combinations.

New Additions to Hugo Boss Sunglasses. Last of 2012

Hugo Boss is one of the most consistent brands today in eyewear industry. They clearly don’t believe in trends. They believe in solid, comfortable and elegant styles that look perfect on any kind of face. Little experimentation takes place when it comes down to pick colors. Black, Brown and Tortoise shell (aka Havana) are dominating colors that are present in most of the sunglasses frames. Hugo Boss sunglasses however do resemble business style above casual or sport, although 2012 was the most productive year for Boss sport styles. When you wear Hugo Boss sunglasses, you don’t need to worry about looking funny or overly couture. You will be yourself whether you wear suit, jeans or bermuda shorts. Enjoy the collection:
