Hey
So I did some research today for my EPQ project in which I'm trying to research into whether fashion should reflect the age of wearer. For this I went into many fashions stores and analysed the clothing and trends and the set out of the store all to discover who the store was targeting.
Anyways as I went in at least 15 stores I got a good idea of the trends that are coming in this season. For colours they were mainly neutrals so lots of beige, cream and brown. But a peachy pink colour was prominent in all shops. As for shoes; ankle boots seem to be this seasons shoe trend most of them were flat but there were some heeled shoe boots that were noticeably in a few stores.
The winter knitwear is just coming in so it's the awkward mid-season ranges at the moment still with summer clothing mainly in the sales though and cardigans and jumpers as full price.

WWD Online
Hey,
I've found this website the other day called WWD. It's a good fashion website with a lot of fashion articles and events such as fashion shows and even retail and business. It's definitely a news website but I've found it seems slightly confusing on navigation. I found this website through some photographs, Kristen Bell did a photoshoot with Diego Uchitel just for this website. I thought the photo's were very elegant and stylish. This is my favourite shot:
I really like the use of diagonals in this photo and also the arches in the background. Kristen looks amazing and I love her dress which is a Balmain design. Balmain is a French designer, I've had a quick look at the latest collection and the dresses, especially look gorgeous! I love Kristen's hair and her Gianvito Rossi boots that go so well with the dress. The whole set up and styling to these photo's are perfect.
Check out the rest of the photo's here

The City
Hey,
I used to watch a reality show called "The Hills" and I really enjoyed it as it followed a California girl, Lauren Conrad, who got an internship at Teen Vogue. Obviously it included a lot of her personal life but the reason I watched it was to get an idea of what it's like behind the scenes working at a fashion magazine.
E4 unfortunately stopped showing it but recently I have found that channel five is showing the spin-off show which is called "The City" and this follows Whitney, Lauren's friend who moved to New York city to work for designer Diane Von Furstenberg. Five is currently showing season 2 where Whitney is working for People's Revolution a PR company but her friend Olivia is working at Elle Magazine. This is what pulled me in as I get to see what kind of thing she has to do at Elle magazine. She often gets sent out to research stuff and she always has to find her accessories and get a good range to feature in an article in the magazine.
My favourite thing to watch is them dealing with fashion shoots as I love to see how it works and also a catwalk show which I remember from "The Hills" where Whitney and Lauren had to call out the models to get them out on the catwalk and they also had to help seat the guests. This really gives me a good idea of what I might expect from the fashion industry.

Project D
Hey,
This week is the season finale of Danni Minogue: Style Queen on ITV2. I watched this last week as there was nothing else on TV and I actually quite enjoyed it.
It had a lot about her new clothing line that she's brought out. It's called Project D and it's a collaboration between Danni and her friend, Tabitha Somerset-Webb, a handbag and accessory designer.
In the program I watched they were trying to sell the collections to a store and they managed to get Selfridges to stock it. The collection is full of beautiful dresses, consisting of long and short evening dresses. There aren't many styles but this is just the start of her collection so hopefully she'll add some different clothing items.
Check out the collection here: http://www.projectdonline.co.uk/collection/

Dereon
Hey,
I've just discovered today that Beyonce has her own clothing line with her Mum Tina Knowles. She's released some photos for this.
The style was commented as being "1960s pinup girl meets futuristic biker chick". The photo's are pretty cool with her wearing fake tattoos all of her body of various different things including lizards and spiders.
Her clothing line includes almost everything including footwear, jewellery, handbags and eye wear. Everything is pretty cute and very Beyonce fierce.

Armani Jeans
Hey,
So earlier in the month I told you that Megan Fox was the new face of Giorgio Armani cosmetics, and that she's already the face of Armani Jeans. They've released some photo's for the 2010-2011 fall/winter ad campaign. Megan Fox looks amazing and I think Armani chose well to have her, it must be difficult for brands to choose a celebrity as it could either boost or dive bomb their success and especially as these actors aren't models so they don't necessarily have and do everything a model knows to do.

Willow Smith
Hey,
Celebrities children have become part of the lime light possibly stepping into their parents shoes or maybe getting there own publicity. Obviously it's easy to follow the children as they grow up for example all the Beckham kids and the Jolie-Pitt family. But recently I have been noticing Will Smith's daughter Willow Smith not for any new film or music career but because of her style. She's 9 years old and has got her own rocky-edgy style going on. Most 9 year old girls I would still expect in pretty pink dresses, but I guess this is what comes from being exposed to all the different clothes and stylists and basically the Hollywood lifestyle.
She's been seen doing a photo shoot in which she supports a painted ear outline. She's even setting her own trend with tweeters saying "I'm about 2 pull a willow smith hair cut O_O".
I'm never sure about children who don't act their age, and I recently believe it's becoming a big thing for kids to act more like adults especially with the technology now a days.
