Worst Celebrity Fashion Designers

Reality TV has swollen the ranks of celebrities from lists B through to Z to the point where it seems like every other week another almost has-been is busy trying to revive a faint career with a new fashion line. The lesson here seems to be stick with what youre good at, even if thats flashing your knickers at the paparazzi. Paris Hilton, were looking at you. Read on for the worst celebrity fashion lines in all their shiny, tacky glory.

 Paris Hilton
 It seems Paris Hilton is a celebrity first and foremost for having money, and then working that fame to make even more. The kind of person who gets paid just for showing up at a party, Paris is sometimes more a marketable brand than a person. And what an unfortunate brand! Paris launched an exclusive line for Kitson Boutiques selling her particular brand of style  mostly t-shirts screen printed with her face in gold lame. With lots of cheap, shiny dresses too, it has to be one of the most unattractive celebrity fashion lines on the market.

 Lauren Conrad
 Lauren Conrad, star of MTV reality show The Hills, actually has a pretty, laid-back California style. But her much anticipated line the Lauren Conrad Collection was a let-down. Lovely LC seemed to be going out of her way to design as boring a basics collection as could be had  an entire line made of plain and unflattering jersey cotton for some offensively high prices. That hasnt stopped her from putting out another collection with US store Kohls this autumn though, and unfortunately the second go-round is just as generic.

 Lindsay Lohan
 Lindsay Lohan seems to feel that being a washed-up celebrity has-been with stringy blonde extensions gives her the right to nominate herself Marilyn Monroes style representative on earth. No matter how hard she tries though she certainly cant match the lovely Monroe, even if she creepily named her line of leggings 6126 after the screen sirens birthday. Lohans line features leggings alone  zipper leggings, faux leather leggings, sparkly leggings, shiny leggings. Hardly the most challenging item to design, they look like something a tween could customise with a glue gun, some cheap lycra and a portfolio of Miley Cyrus paparazzi snaps.

 Mischa Barton
 If La Lohans leggings werent enough of a capsule collection, someone actually thought they could make a quick buck from Mischa Bartons boho headbands. Starting at $50, Bartons hair accessories are over-priced, poorly finished and embellished in junk. The wilted hippy flowers stink of the desperation of someone who has been putting out forgettable, lack lustre performances since The O.C. ended three years ago.

 The Jonas Brothers
 Of all the things we though the Jonas Brothers could be doing  pretending to play guitar and saving themselves for marriage  sticking their names on a tween fashion line of ruffled denim skirts was not one of them. In spite of having no fashion experience and an average age of about 20, the family-friendly JoBros have their own fashion collection of mostly Disney-prep argyle sweaters, Polo shirts and pleated denim for thirteen year old girls at WalMart. Its a strange combination though of all the celebrities listed above, its probably the most appropriately pitched and priced fashion line for the pop stars fans.

Mens New Fashion Trends

It's always great to mix trendy pieces with more classic looks to give you the perfect look that always looks up-to-date. Color is big for men this season (I love colored interesting shirts of all kinds), as are relaxed chic looks (like relaxed suits), etc.

 Accessories that are hot are really simple: well kept shoes. It's one of the first things people notice, so always make sure the shoes are right and clean. Here's something I like to do. Instead of looking at celebs, I check out various magazines and advertising and check out different looks I like (for You GQ, Cargo) and then get shopping!

 If you are wondering why some of today's most sophisticated men's stores - Polo Ralph Lauren, Bergdorf Goodman Men, Barneys New York - are stocked with enough hard-core color to resemble the team uniform section of a sporting goods shop, well, perhaps that's fitting. Color has become practically a contact sport.

 Mens wear Bright New Look In the last few seasons, many men have developed a major passion for sharply tailored suits and brightly patterned dress shirts, snapping up $200 Etros by the half-dozen. But this spring, in the eternal game of one-upmanship known as fashion, the look has been taken to a new extreme. Solidly colored pants, sweaters and blazers - in tangerine, lemon, viridian, magenta, royal blue - have raised the stakes, and some men are, to retailers' surprise, taking the bet.

 Retailers report that traditional two-button cotton sport coats and pinwale corduroys struck by a lightning bolt of color have become some of the hottest sellers of the season. And in a rare meeting of minds, old-school retailers like Paul Stuart are sharing a design aesthetic with edge-of-fashion lines like Burberry Prorsum and Duckier Brown.

 "The first thing that blew out of Barneys was all the color," said Daniel Silver, a partner in Duckier Brown. "When we were designing it we were thinking: 'It's so bright. Are guys really going to buy this?' But they have. It's like someone knocked down the wall between his and hers closets."

 The trend has obvious appeal to men who want an easy new way to express a bold streak. But it has an august precedent as well, in the late, great NBC peacock, Johnny Carson. In 1973, when country clubs swarmed with pants and blazers of every hue, Carson's own fashion line was the best-selling men's tailored clothing line in the country, according to Homi Patel, the chief executive of Hartmarx, which owns the line. In 1973 alone, 80,000 electric blue sport coats (with five-inch lapels!) were sold.

 Unlike many looks with roots in the past, this one is a study in jarring contrasts. It has both the edge and cheek of early 80's New York, when Day-Glo color fueled the New Wave scene, and the ease and entitlement of an early 70's Republican enclave in Palm Springs.

 "The roots are in that country club thing," said Joe Zee, the editor of the men's wear magazine Vitals. "The edge is in its conservative aspect." Striped shirts and plaid jackets can play into a conservative look, but solid colors, Mr. Zee suggested, are bolder. "Men are more used to pattern," he said. "So a pink striped shirt is easier for a lot of guys than an all-pink shirt. That's a more specific fashion statement."

 No sector has taken up the call to color more than the hip-hop world, in which dandies like Usher, Farnsworth Bentley and Andre 3000 of OutKast (hard at work on a fashion line called Benjamin) will wear, and combine, the splashiest of colors. "You have urban rappers from Nelly to Puffy saying, 'I can wear this without being a sissy,' " Mr. Zee said.

 Chris Chambers, a dapper vice president for publicity at BMG Music, feels the pull. "There's definitely a mixture of an urban thing with classic country club." he said. "I'll wear the pink Ralph Lauren blazer but maybe not with the white slacks they show. I'll wear it with some Evisu jeans and a cool sneaker."

 Still, it takes guts. "I think a solid bold color looks fresh, but you have to have a level of confidence for it," Mr. Chambers said. What makes the look less brash and more appealing, he said, is its history as the onetime uniform of 19th-hole golfers everywhere.

 Ross Geisel, a Manhattan fund-raiser, has taken a shine to color because of its associations with a life of gentlemanly ease. "I can get away with wearing it to work, and then if you go out afterward, you don't look like you came from the office," Mr. Geisel said.

 Another reason he likes extreme color is that there are so few rules about wearing it. That, he maintains, makes it easier, not harder to dress. "It doesn't matter what you do," he said. "I have a loud pink shirt on today with a corduroy chocolate brown blazer. I can wear it spring, summer or fall, with any shoe I want."

 Even with his outlaw attitude, he said the style reminds him of his father's country-club clothes. But the concept of Johnny Carson as a symbol of style is lost on him. "All I remember is Carnac," he said.

Putting On A Fashion Show At Your School

School fashion shows can be quite fun if done properly. If done the wrong way, however, it could end up being one boring affair which is only occasionally enlivened by the people laughing at a humiliated model. What you need are some tips to help you.

 1) Think of a theme - When putting up a school fashion show, it is always helpful if you use a theme. A theme gives a fashion show a sense of organization and people would be able to relate the fashion to the theme. There are various types of themes to choose from:

 a) Season - Basing your school fashion show on the season is always popular. You could design and model various outfits that correspond with the time of year. This would also give you an idea of how to decorate the venue. Basing your school fashion show on a season can help you unleash your creativity and make your brain cells work. How can you balance the freedom of creativity with the confinement of the theme? This will definitely help you improve your skills.

 b) Literature - Another great idea for a theme is literature. You should think about basing your school fashion show on a great piece of literature. How about basing it on the book The Great Gatsby? Ever tried creating fashion pieces for Frodo? This can be fun as you will be bringing the visions of authors to life. Basing your school fashion show on a piece of literature can also be a bit easier than other themes since most authors actually have pretty detailed descriptions of the clothes their character wear. This is especially true for fantasy novels. Cloaks, anyone?

 2) Music - The music sets the mood for the whole fashion show. It strikes the subconscious of the watchers and thus, determines how much attention they will be paying your school fashion show. This means, of course, that you need to choose the correct sounds to accompany your school fashion show.

 You need to choose music that grabs the attention of the spectators enough to mesmerize them. However, you do not want the music to distract the spectators from the school fashion show. The best type of music to use would be instrumental. This is because instrumental music can set the mood for the show without distracting the viewers with familiar lyrics.

 3) Lighting - Proper lighting effects are always essential if you want to have a great school fashion show. Together with the background music, the lighting effects give the audience a general emotion to feel. How do you want them to react when they see a certain ensemble? You can make them react as you want them by simply combining light and sound.

 4) Spontaneity - Students hate predictability. Because of this, the best thing that your school fashion show could have is a surprise. You need to show your students something unexpected and completely new. In doing so, you will be able to grab their attentions and keep it. By being spontaneous, you will keep spectators guessing as to what will come next. This will keep their eyes on the school fashion show and off their watches and mobile phones. If you can make the audience forget about the gadgets on their pockets, then you would know that your school fashion show rocks!

An Overview Of Fashion History

Whether fashion conscious or fashion shy, every person on Earth has some knowledge of fashion around them. Part of every persons everyday life is getting dressed, which is something pertaining to fashion, regardless of level. Throughout history, style has undergone many changes; as is evident since Victorian era flowing, elegant ball gowns have now been replaced with modern day, twenty-first century short skirts and high heels.

 Its argued Charles Frederick Worth is supposedly Earths first official fashion designer. Worth, who was born in 1826, would grow up to become a draper, then dressmaker. Worths latter choice would be a defining one, in making Worth a truly respected member of society, a member who changed fashion forever. Before Worth set up his fashion house in Paris, creation and distribution of clothing was largely handled by anonymous seamstresses. High fashion was taken from Royal Courts, whatever was designed for high Lords and Ladies was then adopted and adapted by common designs.

 Worths success became incredibly grand, and he became able to dictate fashion through time, as opposed to designing his dresses and other garments based on fashion around him. Worths act opened doors to other fashion designers, and is what brought around sketching and painting garments before creating them; a practice which is common even now.

 Of course, Worth opened many doors, in which there was room for others to pass through. Another successful fashion designer of history is one Paul Poi Ret. Ret was a large contributor to fashions evolution, creating and inventing a new style involved in taking classical shapes and fittings, then blending them with those fashions from high courts. Paris was a city in which fashion bloomed, making way for other designers such as Patou, Vionnet, Fortuny, Lanvin and Chanel to make their mark. Coco Chanel is a well-known and respected name even such a large amount of years on.

 Paris took hold, and kept hold of fashion throughout the entire twentieth century. However, when 1980 came along, more criss-crossing and boundary blurring of fashion was happening than anyone thought possible. Western styles became popular worldwide, and technological advancements with fabric allowed for much more change towards fashion. Lycra became a quickly available and popular material, along with other synthetic materials. After two centuries of innovative and wonderful designs, with designers paving and carving new ways and new designs, designers finally turned back to past designs and fashion choices for inspiration.

 Now, a new fashion movement has taken itself and been given a seat within fashion design. Otherwise known as vintage, a newer wave of fashion has been adopted by people whom are now referred to as hipsters. Much like punks and Goths of an older time, these particular people are more fashion conscious than others would believe, taking it upon themselves to create and withhold a new fashion ideal. These particular people are fashion designers unto themselves, creating a mixture between popular vintage design and patterns, and newer, brighter more modern yet vintage designs.
