Fashion Design Clothing

Thursday, February 18th, 2010


If you have a talent for fashion design, and if you have ever desired to be the next Vera Wang or Donna Karan, you need to begin with basic fashion design clothing. Fashion design clothing and other accessories are created with artistic expression and skillful implementation. Fashion design clothing manufacturers are typically self employed and work for individual clients. Most of the great couture designers started the path upway in that manner, and have worked their way up into retail markets with mass appeal.

The History Of Fashion Design Clothing

Before making the endeavor in a career you will need to start with a strong background of knowledge about fashion design clothing. The initial creator of fashion design is Charles Frederick Worth. Working as a humble draper at first, he eventually established a fashion house in the city of Paris. Separating Worth from the seamstresses who worked along side him, clients would dictate to the seamstresses what they desired, and Worth would dictate to the clients what he thought they should wear. The word couturier was created to best describe him. Sketch artists were hired to sketch the clothing so that clients would be able to pick and choose the clothing they liked. There was far less cost involved in provided a sketch, rather than making the garments and risk the client not liking it after all.

France and Europe allowed this trend to grow and spread. London became the next destination for high fashion and magazines began displaying and printing current styles. . Chain type department stores would send buyers to the Paris fashion shows where they would purchase one or more garments to reproduce and sell in their stores at much lower prices. At this time, fashion had not become two distinct styles, haute couture and ready to wear. Most of the time, fashion design clothing manufacturers provided both types of fashion clothing. It was only after World War II that the roles of the manufacturers became sharply divided.

The clothing industry began to envision two sides of the clothing industry, clothes off the rack for everyday use, and the high fashion clothing from the runway. Comingling of the two styles seemed to fade away, with most designers beginning to select designing for one or the other. Times are very different today, as many couture fashion clothing items find their way into department stores all over the world.

If you desire a career in design, many of the original ideals still remain the same; even though the actual role of the designer has changed tremendously. There are many schools of design that will introduce potential career candidates to different avenues of the fashion trade. During the training process, the career minded students will begin to differentiate the different lines of clothing and begin to choose their career path. In most cases, designers will need to pay their dues to the industry before they achieve their career goals in the style of Wang or Karan. Work hard in the hard fashion industry and the rewards will come.

Fashion Trends in Urban Clothing 2010

Thursday, November 26th, 2009


The term fashion refers to the style of clothing or wearing hairdos and other accessories according to the prevailing styles and norms. It keeps changing constantly because once people start following a particular trend it tends to get monotonous eventually and thus is changed very frequently every season. Although nothing really drastically modifies in the way people have been draping themselves, some styles repeat themselves from the past while the others are just minor modifications or mix and matches from other existing styles.

In 2010 for urban women the trend would be over-the-knee boots or thigh high boots or as a substitute laddered stocking is clearly the “in thing”. These boots and stockings would only go well with short skirts, so mini skirts are also in trend. Capes and leather clothing also add on to the chique look in women. They had been out of fashion for a long time now. They are back in the scene. And by leather we aren’t just talking about leather jackets but about leather dresses, leather shorts and leather leggings. The female dandy is also another surprise entry in trendsetting clothing of 2010 which includes high collars, ruffles and bow blouses, cropped slim-cut jackets in both a double or single breast, waist coats and tailored vests, fob chains, frock coats and tail coats and high-waisted Jodhpurs. These outfits that are supposed to be more masculine are manipulated and clinched at the waist to give it a feminine touch with a belt.

Chunky knits is also another in thing. Chunky doesn’t have to be all shabby though a little show of skin would give it a stylish feel. As for stockings, go for ripped and torn stockings. It is the female counterpart of ripped jeans. It is both sexy and sporty. Another trend this season would be see through clothing. Now this shouldn’t necessarily give the message “look at me” it could be subtle at the same time give a sexy feel by using delicate fabrics with multiple layerings draped onto the body. One shouldered dresses and tops are back into style. If you do not want to flaunt your legs or cleavage why not flaunt the single shoulder that gives a sensuous overall look. Apart from these military fashion tops and ripped and torn jeans are also hip and happening this season.

2010 fashion trends for men would be dominated this season by denim. By denim we don’t need to just stick to jeans but also sport denim jackets and casual pants as well. Jerseys and sneakers are never out of fashion. It is very urban and very hip hop.

Just as leather is in trend for women it is also true for men. Leather jackets are a must in the wardrobe this season. It is very stylish and sleek. In the casual attire category tracksuits and tank tops rule for men. The most popular t-shirts this season would be the ones with funny sayings on them. Besides, the urban trend, vintage clothing will also rule this season. This includes tight jeans and leather jackets and embroidered clothing.

This season it seems like we are going to have a handful to choose from because the trend is a nice mix match of clothes from different seasons. So go ahead flaunt your style your own way.

Low Cost Fashion – Used Clothing Auctions

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009


Wearing the newest fashions does not have to cost hundreds of dollars when you take advantage of the used clothing auctions available online. You can find the newest, hottest designs for only a fraction of the cost of retail when you shop using an online auction. All you need is an Internet connection and a few dollars, and you can be wearing the hottest fashions of the season.

High Quality Fashions

Many people mistakenly think that online auctions for used clothing are only made of low quality, out of style or otherwise unwearable fashions. The reality is that online auctions are a great place to find fashions for the whole family. Have you ever accidentally purchased a piece of clothing, and then later found that it was the wrong size for you or a family member? Used clothing auctions are one of the best ways to sell anything that you simply can’t use, and an even better place to buy what you and your family needs for the new season.

You can also sell any clothes that you have that are in good condition. Many people love to buy whole wardrobes for toddlers and babies using online auctions, which may contain everything you need for your child for the whole season.

Large Selection

You can also find a much larger selection of vintage and used clothing in an online auction that you can in most local areas. You can purchase everything from evening wear to socks to baby clothes and men’s ties in an online auction for clothing. If you have been looking for one particular type of clothing, an online auction can be the solution.

Used clothing auctions include designer brands, vintage styles, and even accessories to complete your outfits. It is easy to see why online auctions for clothing have become so popular, when you can find each and every piece that you are looking for.

Low Prices

Another advantage of using online auctions to purchase clothing is that you will be saving tons of money. You will only have to pay a fraction of the retail cost of name brand and designer clothing, so you will be able to purchase all of the items that you want for this season rather than just one or two pieces of clothing.

Many online clothing auctions begin at just under a dollar, and go up incrementally according to the demand for the style. Many times, you will be able to get high quality fashions for under twenty dollars, although some pricier brands do auction for more.

Finding a Great Auction

If you love shopping, then finding a great auction will be fun and easy. Generally, you will be able to search for the items you are looking for using an on-site search engine. Once you have found the items that you are looking for, you should be able to bid on the items. You will have a period of at least a few days to decide how much you want to spend on the used clothing auctions before they end.

Fashion Clothing Goes Bullet Proof

Monday, December 22nd, 2008


Anyone, even if least interested in fashion, will jump out of his/her seat, if told about this new genre of fashion. But those, who know what does it mean to be safe on one hand and fashionable on the other, will tell not only the benefits of this “bullet-proof’ fashion, but also they will sing a praise-song for Miguel Caballero, a Colombia born.

Commonly, he is termed as “Armani of Armour” in the world of fashion. According to the reports, he was very much perturbed by the killings of people, especially the important ones, in the civil war of his country. Hence, this catastrophic situation sparked in him the inspiration to use fashion not for its centuries old purpose, but to save the lives of people. A completely different and bizarre use of fashion, indeed.

1992 was the year when he launched his unique version of fashion apparels in order to keep the bullets, fired with evil intentions, away from the innocent lives. This happened after his stay in Bogota, where he studied, which had proved a fashion laboratory for him. He was quite fascinated by the bullet-proof apparel worn by his classmates. Most importantly, most of them were offspring of famous personalities of Columbia.

When he provided some very accurate and safe services in Columbia, he got a series of clients begging him for his assistance. Apart from Hugo Chavez and Alvaro Uribe, the presidents of Venezuela and his very Columbia respectively, he got some other famous clients such as King Abdullah of Jordan and Hollywood Action Star, Steven Seagal. However, these 1.2 Kilograms bullet-proof jackets can be bought at the famous Harrods in London by anyone.

He got his clients all around the globe. Being famous and rich, they never wanted to compromise with their fashion quotient. Hence, they wanted to be safe. At that period, Caballero’s “bullet-proof and fashionable” apparels came to their rescue. Now, their blazers, shirts, leather jackets and even the ties have gone bullet-proof. It means, there is the surety of a complete safe and fashionable life to them.

Ed Hardy Clothing – Tattoo Artistry Meets Urban Fashion

Sunday, August 24th, 2008


When it comes to clothing that is for the moment and represents the trends of the street, Ed Hardy leads the pack. Madonna, Kanye West, Fergie, Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Fabolous and Shakira are just a small sampling of the many celebrities who have been spotted wearing Ed Hardy clothing. This trend setting brand got its start in 2004, when Don Ed Hardy was approached by fashion designer Christian Audligier to create a line based around the famous tattoo artist’s designs.

This dynamic duo is perhaps the most innovative pairing currently in fashion. As a tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy has worked hard to elevate tattooing into an art form and by many; he is considered the greatest living tattoo artist around. Hardy is known for incorporating Japanese aesthetics into American tattoo styles. Formally educated, Hardy received a B.F.A. in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute.

Hardy then studied tattooing under Sailor Jerry Collins and in Japan with tattoo master Horihide. After which he became a permanent fixture in the San Francisco tattooing scene when he opened his famous Tattoo City tattoo parlor. Hardy originally started producing clothing based around his tattooing designs in 2002. However, it took a pairing with the famed Christian Audigier in 2004 to make the brand famous and fashionable.

Christian is one of the most respected icons in the fashion world and single-handedly put the Von Dutch label on the map when he created the explosive trend for trucker hats. The French designer also contributed to the success of American Outfitters, Levi’s and Diesel brands as well as creating a signature brand that bears his own name. Besides Ed Hardy, Christian put a rock and roll vibe into his other fashion brands including Smet, Crystal Rock and Paco Chicano.

In just a few years, Christian has been able to turn Ed Hardy into a major success. The brand designs clothing for men, women and children with dozens of stores in the United States and around the world. The brand’s success is tied to its street edge, with all its tattooed images created by Hardy. Retro style skulls, flying eagles, snakes, bleeding hearts and oriental dragons are used throughout the line. Hardy blends punk style with embroidery, splash-ink and crystals woven into designs to create its t-shirts which are the brands signature item.

More than just a fashion line, the brand has become a lifestyle trend. Tees, jeans, purses, belts, shoes, hats, jewelry, scarves, gloves, socks, dresses, jackets, intimate wear, outerwear and more are part of the brand. Hardy’s attention grabbing beautiful tattoos remain a fixture for the line. The brand is continuing to grow in appeal, pulling in millions each year while selling at a mid-range price that most consumers are willing to pay for in order to possess the unique styling of Ed Hardy clothing items and accessories. Celebrities are regularly spotted wearing Ed Hardy thanks in part to Christian’s effort to market directly to them. He has placed clothing stores in high-profile fashion areas where celebrities shop.

Today the Ed Hardy brand is a favorite among the youth culture for its vintage intricate style tattoos, bold colors and high street fashion. Those who wear Ed Hardy clothing know they will stand out from the crowd. Fans of the brand also enjoy expressing themselves through tattooed clothing instead of having to tattoo their bodies. For women the brand offers a tough but feminine look, while men appreciate its edgy rock star appeal.

Logos for Fashion and Clothing

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008


If you are thinking of having a logo designed for your fashion and clothing business, you need to keep several important things in mind that might help you. First of all, you should be very clear about the kind of fashion clothing you are offering; it can be either high end fashion clothing like designer wear or budget clothing like jeans and t-shorts. Secondly you should be very focused on your theme i.e. the idea on which you are selling clothes; it has to be individual for every fashion and clothing line. Also, you should be very clear about the market you are targeting; the best logo is only designed if your designer knows about the age group or the class of people you are selling your product to.

Once you have these aspects worked out in your mind, it becomes easy to depict the kind of logo you want to have for your clothing business. The logo should be done in such a way that it accurately represents the clothing company and outlines the type of clothing being offered and appeals to people who will come to buy them.

Fashion and clothing logos are a very profitable way to bring more and more customers to your products and that too again and again if you prove your worth. A unique clothing line or a boutique needs a good and descriptive logo to make new clients and lasting reputation in the market. Some of the most popular logos for fashion clothing are Nike, Polo, and Ralph Lauren that are very well know among people who don’t even buy their products.

There are a variety of ways to make your fashion and clothing logo a unique and distinctive brand name for your business. For this you need to consult a logo designer who knows the market standards as well as realizes the way consumers’ minds work. To attract more people to buy your clothing, you need to design your logo in such a way that appeals to masses and they want to buy your designs.

Some important questions to consider when going for a fashion logo are:

What do you prefer, an image logo or a text logo
Do you have any preference for colors or design?
The style of the logo i.e. the way it should be done to promote your business
Some signature or distinctive mark that should be same as on your logo and clothing

It is important that you give a lot of thought to these questions and know their answers before you contact a logo designer to design an exclusive logo for your clothing business. Keeping in mind the fast changing trends of the fashion world, you need to have a logo that suits your line of clothing all-time. In other cases only a symbol or a sign is enough to make a logo popular that speaks volumes for the quality products e.g. Nike.

Fashion and clothing logos are mostly bright colored and bold that give strong vibes to people inviting them to come to you. In some cases, logos are done in a single color while in others; multitudes of colors are used to represent the various forms of clothing and accessories being marketed.

As your logo would be used for promotional purposes on banners, brochures, cards as well as clothes, it should be designed keeping in mind these aspects and it should look good wherever it is placed. However, the first stop in designing your fashion and clothing logo is that you should be well aware of what you want and how it would be used. This way you would be making the most of your logo and get maximum profits in your business.

Fashion Clothing Tips for Short Women

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008


Petite curvaceous women definitely need to elongate their body using their clothing style for minimizing the volume. This is the general rule for the women owning this type of figure. In order to cover the faults of a figure not belonging to a tall, skinny ‘giraffe’ type model, you need to follow some essential tricks.

- Your aim is to elongate your body. The most frequent mistake petite women making in terms of clothing is cutting their bodies by using pieces of clothes as jackets and belts in the wrong proportions. Wearing large belts on top of pants or skirts together with blouses of different color is not the best choice as it cuts the body in two parts, drawing attention to the shortness of the figure.

- You should also avoid wearing extra fabric around the waist. You already possess a good amount of volume in this area and the last thing you need adding some more.

- A false myth is the idea that very long skirts make your legs look long. Very long, baggy skirts make your legs look shorter. Long skirts may make you look taller if they go down to the ankle level and if they are straight.

- A good trick to elongate your legs is to wear straight pants that cover your shoes. This will definitely add some extra inches to your legs.

- Mixing colors is permitted for petite women but remember that it is the monochromatic clothing that makes you look taller and slimmer.

- Avoid wearing thick fabric clothing as it adds extra weight to your figure.

- The best trick to elongate your body is to wear vertical lines patterned clothing. But keep in mind not to exaggerate as you will end up looking like a zebra. It is enough to wear a pair of jeans that have a vertical line in the seams and you will create the illusion of a taller person. Just one or two lines are enough to create this illusion. Try to avoid wearing clothing items with multiple vertical lines or mixing two garments with lines pattern.

- If you also have some extra pounds, the best way to hide them is to fit properly the clothing items. Remember that oversize t-shirts don’t hide extra pounds, they make people look baggy, without any shape.

- Too tight means too bad. However very tight clothes are risky too.Properly fitted clothes help you show the best of your body. Never wear clothes that show an open view of your tummy. It will only call attention to this wrong part of your figure.

- And the ‘must do’ rule for petite women is to always wear high heels. Matching stilettos to long, straight pants is the combination that will make you look taller and slimmer in any situation.

And keep in mind: any figure fault can be covered by using the right piece of clothing.
