Fashion Sketching

At the moment I am working to improve my basic sewing skills and how to follow various patterns etc. in order to make clothes. Eventually I would like to be able to design my own clothing though so I need to learn how to draw fashion figures. I must admit that I love sewing and learning about fabrics and pretty much everything else that is part of learning to design clothes but I hate drawing. I have a theory that there is something missing in my brain that explains how to make lines fit together to make shapes. Needless to say, the idea of having to learn to draw these figures is a little daunting, and frustrating. Luckily, I found this tutorial on fashion sketching for beginners that has been making the process a little easier.

Lindsay Lohan Issue On Paris Fashion Week

Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan has revealed that she used supermodel Kate Moss as a human shield at the French fashion collections.

Lohan was swarmed by reporters and paparazzi during her debut as artistic advisor for Emanuel Ungaro.

One journalist even crawled under a photographer's legs to try and snatch a quick quote from Lindsay.

But Lindsay - who is well-known for visiting her favorite LA restaurant in disguise - turned the tables one night in Paris.

She told a British reporter that she just used Moss as a human shield to get away from the crush of press.

“At the Testino party, Kate Moss was walking out," she said.

"I saw her leaving and was, like, ‘Go now!’ I was walking behind her. She went one way and took the photographers with her. I went straight to my car.”

Seasons' Top Fashion Designers

Top Fashion Designers

Celine: Thanks to the Celine show, we're all coveting earthy shades of camel, nude and safari – not to mention butter-soft leather.

Salvatore Ferragamo: Hello, sunshine – bursts of bright yellow were warmly received at Ferragamo, who in Milan also channelled chic wearability.

Stella McCartney: Don't be afraid of soft and simple was the message at Stella McCartney and for that, her show was a standout.

Finest Floral Designers

Stella McCartney: In addition to her sharp tailoring and lots of wearable basics (welcome back, denim skirt), McCartney's show was big on beautiful rose-print dresses and blouses.

Valentino: The emperor might have retired but his successors are ensuring the glamour lives on with short, sheer party dresses (no, there was not a hint of red) and a stunning floor-length chiffon gown with black-orchid print.

Collette Dinnigan: Dinnigan injected a little bit of Australiana into her collection with long and short-tiered florals in a kaleidoscope of colours and a stunning silk strapless maxi with beaded and embroidered sunflower motif.

Top Luxury Designers

Prada: Gorgeous island prints, crystal chandelier pieces and crystal-encrusted shoes – what's not to love?

Givenchy: The sharp, almost futuristic geometric vibe was offset at Givenchy with draped goddess dresses complete with shimmering shoulders.

Lanvin: Consider Lanvin the go-to label for after-hours glamour. Glittering jumpsuits, short, block-colour cocktail frocks and plenty of luxe neck, arm, wrist and bag candy.

Paris Fashion Week: Emanuel Ungaro Collection With Lindsay Lohan

It was a deadly collision of celebrity culture and fashion culture on Sunday at the debut of the new Emanuel Ungaro collection with Lindsay Lohan as artistic advisor and Estrella Archs as designer. When Lohan came out for a runway bow, her eyes were full of tears. And it's easy to see why. After all the hullabaloo over her appointment a month ago, with some fashion insiders suggesting it was an insult to anyone who had ever really worked in design, it had to have been the walk of shame to end all. 

The fashion crowd is a tough one, and the fangs were out for this collection from the beginning. Unfortunately, the clothes--reportedly whipped together in a mere three weeks -- didn't do anything to defy low expectations. 

It's difficult to know whom to blame -- Lohan for taking the job or Ungaro President Mounir Moufarrige for thinking he could install a troubled Hollywood starlet with no fashion training at a venerable French house (even one that cycles through designers faster than Lohan cycles through rehab stints). Or maybe it's the fault of the industry in general, which has put a premium on fast, flashy and addictive fashion, over forward-thinking and creative fashion. 
The impulse to focus on the house's signature shade of hot pink was a good one, and that's how the collection began, with a tight minidress draped over one shoulder. There were a lot of minidresses in this show, many of them so short, they seemed to be inviting a TMZ crotch shot. 

The second design element was the heart, in a repeating sequin pattern on one jacket and repeating cutouts with sequins peeking out from underneath on another. These were partytime clothes -- ruched leggings in bright blue and purple (Lohan has her own line of leggings too -- 6126), pink harem pants and bandeau bikini tops with heart-shaped charms nestled between the breasts. 

But by far the worst offense were the glittery heart-shaped pasties worn under suit jackets. In a word, why? They were just begging to be laughed at. A larger version of the heart pasties also turned up on some of the models' heads. 

Nothing in the collection evidenced any real skill or discernible design work. In fact, you could probably find a lot of it already on the shelves at Kitson. I did hear someone remark that they liked the shoes, which had narrow, stair-step heels. 

Still, there's really no defending this misguided collection, other than as a desperate bid for attention from a house that hasn't mattered since its founder retired in 2004. I just don't think it's the kind of attention they had in mind.

John Galliano: "Seducing All The Senses"

The designer - who works for Christian Dior, as well as his own self-titled label - loves catwalk shows because they bring his creations to life. 

He explained: "If a picture paints a thousand words, a show has 20 minutes to bring the muse, the mood and the feel of a whole season to life. I want to seduce all your senses. 

"If the clothes are the script, the models are the silent sirens that have to bring the story alive. I love using theatre and magic to tell the tale." 

Unlike other designers, John denies having celebrity muses, preferring to make up his ideal women in his head. 

He told Britain's Elle magazine: "I have two mistresses. For John Galliano, she is very English in her soul. For Dior, she is very French. Dior is a beguiling, feminine, yet feisty lady. 

"She is elegant, unpredictable and utterly mesmerising. That is the essence of Dior."

Betty Jackson's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Soft, sweet and saucy was the message from Betty Jackson’s spring/summer 2010 collection.

Her inspiration was the idea of a French demoiselle being filmed by Jean-Luc Goddard in Shanghai, leading to a lot of ooh-la-la and some extremely wearable clothes.

Ruffles, frills and flounces were a key detail whether worn as a ruff, sparkling with crystals at the neck, decorating a peplum jacket or trimming the hem of a jacket or skirt. The bra-bodice, little bloomers and French knickers were equally important to the look - a trend increasingly apparent at London Fashion Week.

Here, at Jackson, they came in contrasting pastel, floral prints, in shades of ice-pink and mint, and designed to be seen - beneath rough linen jackets, trimmed with broderie anglaise, worn with floppy, floral trousers, or worn over button-to-the neck blouses.

The boudoir theme was also echoed in little floral sundresses with draped hips, which showed a frill of purple lace at the décolletage. In more minimal, contemporary mode were short-sleeved, navy dresses with a pleated detail on the bodice and a to-the-knee skirt; easy coats, tunics and crop-trousers in beige.

A-line coats, smocks and waisted dresses came in silver lame and a rose-pink brocade, often accessorised with a sparkly ruff for a funky, but flattering look for after-dark.

Lindsay Lohan: Got Some Nerves

Lindsay Lohan is "nervous" about the upcoming House of Emanuel Ungaro fashion show. 

The 23-year-old star, who was unveiled as the French fashion house's artistic advisor earlier this week, can't wait for the Paris Fashion Week show, but is anxious about how the clothes will be received.

She explained: "I'm nervous about the show the way I get nervous about a film. Maybe a little bit more about this because it's a little more personal."

The 'Mean Girls' actress added any criticism will feel particularly harsh as she feels so closely linked to the brand.

She said: "In a film I'm playing someone else and people can relate to that character. This is very much me and I'm putting all of my efforts into it."

Lindsay - who already has her own range of leggings and fake tan - will work with Spanish designer Estrella Archs, giving her own ideas and input into upcoming collections.

She said earlier this week: "I kind of oversee everything Archs does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas."

Designer Amy Molyneux - who already works for the French label - said of Lindsay's appointment: "She does have an eye for fashion. I like the way she dresses. Her house is a mini-department store. She changes outfits five times a day."

Crystal Renn, A Plus Size Model On The Roll

New York - Crystal Renn was miserable as a super-thin model who had heart palpitations when she'd worry that there might be calories in Diet Coke. 

Her moment of epiphany came when "I couldn't walk another step without being exhausted, or having hair clumps falling out." She knew she needed to live in the body she was supposed to have — specifically a curvy size 12.

In a new memoir "Hungry," Renn, now a plus-size model, exposes her struggles with weight, health and self-esteem, fueled by the industry she says she still loves.

That is, she loves it now that she has been accepted — even embraced — by the fashion world.

"I got to my lowest point, when I couldn't go lower, and it was either, 'I'm going to die and not accomplish the dream,' or, 'I can become a plus-size model and keep the dream,'" she said in an interview. "I am healthy now, the healthiest I've ever been in my life — both physically and mentally."

Writing "Hungry" with Marjorie Ingall for Simon & Schuster was an important part of the healing process, said Renn, 23.

She had told her story before, but always in a quick hit for some magazine celebrating the novelty of an hourglass shape on its pages. The book is her attempt to move the needle on how people — everyone from wide-eyed young girls to jaded fashion insiders — perceive beauty.

"I'd like to see everyone take on the attitude that there are women of all different shapes and sizes as 'the beauty ideal,' and that it's not one type or another. There are women who are naturally a size 2 — you can't forget them, and that's discrimination the other way," Renn said. "All women bring something different to the table and we have to appreciate them all."

Some in the fashion, modeling and magazine industries have been receptive to the idea, she said, noting that she's still working with her fuller figure in Vogue, Glamour, on the runway with Jean Paul Gaultier and in ads for Dolce & Gabbana.

'80s-Inspired Fall Fashion Clothing

Everything from ‘80s-inspired clothing, western wear and bohemian chic is in fashion for fall, according to local retailers.

High school and college-age girls have plenty of options when shopping for back to school.“Plaid is huge,” said Mary Lucy Yowell, manager of Belk department store, adding that the tartan-style plaid is widely popular. Denim is another must have for fall from skinny jeans, barely boot-cut jeans (a cross between a skinny jean and boot cut), baggy boyfriend jeans and distressed jeans, even though most of those can’t be worn to high school.

“Borrow your boyfriend’s jeans or buy a pair for yourself,” said Judy Goldie, owner of Trendy Pieces on the Public Square.Mallory Rickman, assistant manager of Delia’s at The Avenue, said everything from plaid dresses, shirts and scarves are hot for fall. “We can’t seem to keep the plaid in stock,” she said.Taking plaid even further, A’GACI Co-Manager Jamie Johnson said the country western look is the latest look in fashion. "It is really cute,” she said. The look is complete with long button-up shirts and ankle boots, sometimes called booties, Johnson said.

Yowell said boots are in fashion in a big way this fall from booties to western-style boots. Goldie said the slouchy jacket also is back for this fall and winter. “Throw it on with a pair of fitted dress slacks or jeans or over a mini-dress,” she said. Vests are another must have this fall, according to local retailers. They range from the hippie chic to motorcycle chick. “All kinds of different vests, you name it,” Yowell said are in fashion, adding that more structured vests are widely seen but vests also are being seen in sweaters.

Longer vests worn over shirts and pants are being cinched with a belt, Johnson said, adding that it is a really cute look for teens. Express at The Avenue is even carrying leather, motorcycle vests. “Those also go great with graphic tees,” said Erica Phemister, from Express.

V-neck graphic tees are a big seller at Express, she said. Graphic tees could have anything on it from peace signs to flowers and embroidery. But fall fashion is dominated by looks from the ‘80s, Phemister said, which means lose shirts, leggings and bright colors. “Cowneck sweaters are coming back in and off the shoulder tops,” she said. “Leggings with tunics are really in right now.”Goldie said printed leggings and tights will “throw some fun into your outfits.”Along with that this fall is going to be filled with “plenty of color,” she said. “Neon will be big and also gorgeous jewel tones, purples, teals and deeper blues.”

Bright colors are showing up in corduroy and other types of pants. “The girls go crazy over them,” Rickman said. But don’t forget about your hair, which completes any outfit. Stylist Kenneth Darrell of Studio 627 said one of the latest looks is a side ponytail. “They are fashionable, in style and easy to achieve,” he said. 

Other looks include side swept bangs, which are sometimes braided or French braided and wavy hair. Sue Millsap, owner of Salon 536, said the graduated bob with a disconnect at the sides for above the shoulders and chin length hair is one of the latest trends in hair. Also, full bangs with an edge with catch some attention this fall.

Know About The Style of Audrey Tautou

The first thing Audrey Tautou does is leap out of her seat and declare: "I love your glasses! I want some. Where did you get them?" At five feet three inches she is petite rather than small, slight as opposed to thin. Excruciatingly gamine, she would make the perfect Peter Pan. Her jet-black hair is cut characteristically short, brushed forward like Audrey Hepburn's in Funny Face, her lips are femme-fatale scarlet, and a white lace blouse perfectly complements old-school Levi's that hang impeccably over a pair of black 1940s-style high heels. Tautou looks immaculately stylish, which must've come in handy for her latest role as the legendary French fashion icon, Coco Chanel, in the hugely successful Gallic period piece, Coco Before Chanel, directed by Anne Fontaine.

"Once Audrey agreed to play Coco I knew I could do the film as I envisioned," said the director just a few minutes before I met Tautou. "I was struck by her will, her audacity, and the density of her gaze that goes straight through you. She has the same impertinent look, the same androgynous appeal, the same toughness and innate sense of style. She is the only person to play Coco."

Undoubtedly, Tautou pulls of the role with uncommon aplomb, delivering a subtle yet multi-layered performance that, with just the arch of a manicured eyebrow, quietly provokes all manner of questions about the icon that some might rather avoid. Did she hate men? Did she use men? Did she sleep her way to success? Did she step on any and all to rise to the top? Or was she purely a product of her environment who had to use all at her disposal to succeed?

And yet the film avoids the most controversial aspects of the pioneering designer's life. Absent is her notorious affair during the war with Hans Gunther von Dincklage, a German officer and Nazi spy, as is her subsequent arrest for war crimes and her acquittal, before trial, via the intervention of the British royal family.

Instead, the film plumps for what is arguably a better story, and deals with Chanel's origins. It begins, like a 19th-century romantic novel, as, Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel, born in a poor house on August 19th 1883, is abandoned in the orphanage of the Roman Catholic monastery of Aubazine.

The narrative moves swiftly on to her short career as a bar singer (she took her name from a song she sang in cabaret) and covers her life as kooky concubine to the immensely rich playboy, Etienne Balsan (Benoît Poelvoorde). The film concludes in 1920 after Coco's romance with her financial backer, British millionaire Arthur "Boy" Capel (Alessandro Nivola), ends when he dies in a car crash, leaving her financially free to revolutionise the way women dressed, thought and behaved.

"Premises of projects about Coco Chanel had been submitted to me for several years," explains the bubbly Tautou, now perched on the arm of her chair. "But I did not want to do a biopic, you know – participating in some sort of saga recounting her life from birth to death. Chanel lived for 87 years! We would have fallen into the clichés that have punctuated her path. No, no, no. I was secretly hoping to get an offer to play Coco but with a particular point of view. Because it's her modernity that fascinates me, her spirit, her ambition and the position she gave women."

"Chanel had to fight against conventions then that were so very paralysing for women." continues Tautou, now standing. "So, when Anne Fontaine explained how she intended to treat the subject, I immediately agreed. She wanted to avoid the obvious truisms and some sort of mimetic interpretation of Chanel, and was determined to concern herself solely with her beginning – the period when Coco was building herself and asserting her personality – which for me is the most interesting period in her life."

French Fashion Hermes Increased Sales

Second-quarter sales at the firm's ready-to-wear clothing and fashion accessories division were up 13%, while they rose 11% at its silk and textiles unit.

However, sales of its watches, perfumes, and tableware goods were all down.

Analyst Dennis Weber of Evolution Securities said Hermes was helped by the strength of its brand name.

"Hermes' established brand reputation works in the company's favour in the current environment, and we believe in the relatively defensive nature of the Hermes brand," he said.

The 11% fall in the sale of Hermes' watches between April and June has been echoed by watchmakers in Switzerland, industry figures have shown.

The Swiss Watch Federation said sales at the country's watch-makers, including Rolex and Tag Heuer, were down 26% in the first half of 2009.

It added that the Swiss watch industry was facing its steepest drop in global demand in about 20 years.

Jean Paul Gaultier: Hollywood Vintage Style

Spotlights lit up the catwalk Wednesday at Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture show, steeped in old-fashioned Hollywood glamour and paying tribute to screen sirens like Jane Russell and Ava Gardner.

Gaultier sent out glamazon variations on his signature pieces — trench coats, second-skin dresses with sheer paneling and menswear suits.

A model in a sharp-shouldered pantsuit in black wool was channeling Katherine Hepburn between takes. A gold sequin-covered hourglass halterdress was screaming Jane Russell’s name.

Actor Mickey Rourke said it was a treat to see the kind of Hollywood glamour that “went out the door 30 years ago.”

“They’re making a different kind of movie now, unfortunately,” said Rourke, an ’80s superstar who made his comeback with “The Wrestler.”

Gaultier, the one-time enfant terrible of French fashion, gave some of the looks his signature humorous twist.

Reams of film were wrapped around one model’s shoulders like a shawl. A bodysuit looked like the offspring of a trenchcoat and a swimsuit.

And the bride — the look that traditionally closes the wildly expensive made-to-measure couture shows — was just plain bizarre. In a mini dress made from what looked like plastic bags filled with gold sequins, she wore a veil draped over a cone on top of her head. Black and white close-ups of ’50s-era movie stars were projected onto the veil.

French Designer Eric Tibusch: Shoes Into Hair Accessories

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but these will surely leave you speechless.

French fashion designer Eric Tibusch turns shoes into hair accessories for his Haute Couture 2009-2010 fashion collection in Paris this week. The clothing is beautiful, the makeup is beautiful, and the shoes, though oddly placed, are beautiful as well.

Are women in Paris going to take to this unusual look? Makes you wonder if we will be seeing this look in the states anytime soon. Will they stop selling shoes by the pair? Will you buy them to fit your head instead of your foot? Will stylists be learning how to incorporate a shoe into an updo in beauty school? Only time will tell.

A primary example of why fashion is fun, endless possibilities.

ParisFashion Week: Great Ending

The winter 2010 haute couture shows are over! So here's a final look -- at John Paul Gaultier, Valentino and Josep Font. Jenny Barchfield of the Associated Press reports:

"Jean Paul Gaultier looked to vintage Hollywood for a solid collection that was equal parts Ava Gardner and Gaultier — the one-time enfant terrible of French fashion — himself.

"Things were looking up at Valentino. Its new design duo finally found their way out of the archive and forged a sexy new look for the mythic Italian label. Out went the ladylike day coats and tasteful A-line cocktail dresses in jewel-toned duchess silk; in came the second-skin bodice dresses in flesh-colored tulle and black lace; and up, way up, went the hemlines.

"For his fourth couture display, Spanish designer Josep Font continued to shore up his avant-garde credentials with a ravishing collection of think pieces."

At Valentino, Barchfield, writes, "the new design team aimed to seduce a younger, hipper clientele with a racy tulle and lace collection [check out the model at right] that projected the Valentino woman out of the past and into fashion’s future." She continues:

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli — who last year replaced Valentino’s successor just two seasons after the maestro retired — had been stuck in the label’s archives. For their first two collections at the helm of the house, they delivered up couture and pret-a-porter collections that were "more Valentino than Valentino," full of gorgeous-but-dated coats and dresses embellished with oversized bows and roses.

This time around, however, they swapped stateliness for sexiness, delivering bustiers in nude tulle with panels of black peek-a-boo lace and thigh-skimming skirts.

As for Josep Font, Barchfield proclaimed the Spanish designer "crazy" and, possibly, "brilliant."

"Font pushes haute couture — that anything-goes laboratory of fashion — to its avant-garde extreme.

Models in his show Wednesday could barely walk — and it wasn’t on account of the vertiginous heels, as it is on many catwalks. Enveloped in a small mountain of mohair shag — a funnel-shaped coat — or swathed in endless in yards (meters) of featherlight chiffon — an embroidered tunic dress — and with pointy plastic collages balanced on their heads, the models did a strange geriatric shuffle around the catwalk."

Indeed, some of Font's creations [that's one of his at left] look like illustrations from a modern version of "Through the Looking-Glass." We could envision a slimmer version of the Red Queen mincing "about in a white cocktail dress with a single red sleeve with an enormous puff that in profile resembled an oversized Sacred Heart" (to quote Barchfield).

Paris Fashion Week: Megan Fox

Megan Fox was the star attraction at Giorgio Armani's Paris fashion show

The 'Transformers' beauty looked stunning in an Armani asymmetrical knee-length dress, with her long dark locks tumbling over her shoulders, as she joined Cate Blancett in the front row of the designer's catwalk show at the French city's Couture Fashion Week.

While Megan wore a simple dress, the show's models showcased new designs which wore covered in dazzling beadwork and sequins.

Admitting the collection could be hard to wear, Megan said: "I don't know if I could pull it off, but I could try."

Cate Blanchett, who was dressed on an Armani pagoda-shouldered sheath dress, was also impressed by the collection.

The Oscar-winning beauty said: "It's blinding, it's beautiful, really beautiful."

Armani's winter 2010 display featured his signature look of pantsuits, complete with rhinestone-hemmed cuffs and buttons, and a series of bustier dresses, covered in crystals and sequins.

Following the show, held at the Palais de Chaillot, Armani hosted a champagne reception in the Musee de l'Homme, next door, to launch his newest fragrance, l'Idole.

Other designers to showcase their new range at Paris Fashion Week included Christian Lacroix and Givenchy.

Coco Chanel New Film

Coco Chanel changed the face of fashion. Bravely modern in the early 1920s - a time when corsets were compulsory - she got women out of their fussy dresses and into trousers, short skirts and stylish fitted jackets.

She gave us the little black dress, created Jackie O's famous wardrobe and that famous Chanel fragrance. She was still working when she died in 1971 aged 87.

Coco avant Chanel is the story of the young Coco and the path that led her to become a designer. She's played by French actress Audrey Tautou who described the designer saying” “she had a lot of look and talent taste and this look and observation. That was her genius.

“She was such a brilliant woman she was a genius. Everything she did, everything she built is still actual and modern because she was a unique woman.”

Coco never married but was rumoured to have had many affairs.

The film centres around significant relationships Coco had with two men. Rich playboy lover Benoît Poelvoorde - who introduced her to her future clientele. And her great love, Boy Capel who also financed Coco’s first boutique.

It was a tough role for American actor Allesandro Nivola - who plays an Englisman that speaks in French throughout the film - he only had a basic grasp of the language when he got the role.

Nivola said “it was completely exhausting and nerve wracking not to mention that I needed to learn to play polo, and play piano and waltz and…”

Audrey Tautou has had the seal of approval from current Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld for her portrayal of Coco. While director Anne Fontaine says the film couldn’t have gone ahead without her in the starring role.

“Physically she is incredibly close to Gabrielle Chanel. It’s incredible when I met Audrey, in 4 or 5 minutes I thought it’s incredible she's there in front of me.”

Tautou said “to play her how we know her like at the end of the movie is not that difficult because you have all the books videos and pictures, witnesses to play her before that it's more unknown world so it's more difficult to propose a character who has the potential to become the person that everyone knows.”

Like Chanel, Audrey Tautou is famed for her elegance and delicate beauty and while it was masculine tailoring that impressed Chanel, it’s masculine pastimes that Tautou loves, especially rugby and the All Blacks.

“Yes of course they are very impressive and I like when they lose to France! No one will come to my movie after this sentence!”

Paris Men Fashion Week: Issey Miyake

Color took center-stage at the Paris-based Japanese label Issey Miyake, as designer Dai Fujiwara sent out Turkish-inspired harem pants and short suits in turquoise, Ceylon and Persian blues embellished with geometric mosaic designs and eye-popping tulip print.

A crocheted hat resembled a turban, while tapered mules conjured up a sultan's slippers. The blue, red and purple squares, triangles and hexagons woven into a cotton fabric turned a generously cut summer jacket into a delicate mosaic.

"Turkey used to be a meeting place between East and West which is the same concept behind Miyake," Fujiwara told The AP in a pre-show interview. "I took a very historical Turkish look and mixed it with the kind of clothes young people around the world are wearing."

Other highlights included a cardigan in canary yellow and bubblegum pink made entirely from crocheted Japanese paper. A spokesman for the label acknowledged the show-stopping piece had one drawback: being "not that easy to wash."
