2010 Summer Fashion, Matthew Williamson Resort Fashion

Fashion, 2010 Summer Fashion is showing in above picture it was held at Matthew Williamson’s Resort presentation last Fashion week, we couldn’t help but notice that the master of beachy prints and flowing caftans seemed to be feeling a more urban beat. The Resort collection is full of great separates, but most seemed fitter for a staycation than a jaunt to the tropics.

Island-hoppers shouldn’t worry. Williamson isn’t abandoning the pieces his fans still clamor for; he’s expanding them into their own collection. That means breezy print jumpsuits, dresses, and caftans, along with tie-front maillots, cover-ups, and paper bag-waist shorts. Everything, in other words, you might have missed among his usual Resort offerings. For pre-spring (i.e., Resort, in stores in late autumn), he’s launching Matthew Williamson Escape, which he calls “a complete capsule wardrobe of luxury pieces for the high summer season.”

lakhotia Institute Of Design Fashion Show sarees

Indian Fashion, I probably would have matched the edge of the saree color to the blouse color – keep them in the same vicinity of color circle, may be, but overall, the dark big glasses and the large costume pearl necklace makes a powerful statement.

Established in 1996, Abids Lakhotia Institute of Art & Design, Hyderabad, is a renowned Institute engaged in imparting non-conventional professional courses in the areas of Fashion Designing, Interior Designing, Modelling, Hotel Management, Air Hostess & Flight Stewards & Call Center Training. Its ISO 9001-2000 Certification only adds value to its reputation as a numero uno niche profession trainer.

Do you see the unexpected color bursting from the pallu – does it take you a second to see the pattern and painting of the saree? Does it intrigue you?

Cap Fashion, Williamsburg’s Hat

Caps, A return to artisan craftsmanship has hit Williamsburg New beautiful Cap, Brooklyn, hard, from the butchers at Marlow & Sons restaurant (where discarded skins are now turned into leather handbags, too) to the Mast Brothers’ small-scale chocolate factory. Now Molly Yestadt of Yestadt Millinery is, ahem, throwing her hat into the ring. Her newly launched atelier on South 6th Street is giving customers a chance to see her handiwork in action. “Initially, the concept was to have a workshop that could be visited by appointment only,” says Yestadt. But, the hats on view in the floor-to-ceiling shelving that dominates the Harlequin-themed space aren’t solely for display. Yestadt Millinery’s ground-floor abode—built at the turn of the century and entirely transformed thanks to a heavy dose of “elbow grease, blood, and sweat”—will likewise double as a custom hat shop. The idea is “to come, to work with us, and let us guide you through the process so as to make it something special and wonderful,” says Yestadt, who has crafted caps for the runways of Vena Cava, Thom Browne, and Marc Jacobs and found fans in Rihanna and Leighton Meester.

Summer Shoes, New Footwear For Vionnet

Shoes Fashion, In addition to his own Shoes collection, Giuseppe Zanotti, at one time or another, has been responsible for shoes bearing the Balmain, Proenza Schouler, and Thakoon labels. Still, ask any stiletto lover and she’ll tell you that she doesn’t have enough of him in her life. Zanotti has recently signed on at Vionnet to collaborate with designer Rodolfo Paglialunga on a line for the storied brand. Here’s why we’re excited: On the phone today, he told us that he’s focused on fit, fine materials, and, most importantly, proportion. There aren’t any “crazy fabrics” or platforms in the 20 or so models he’s designed for Resort. Instead, he’s put the emphasis on leather and (echoing Paglialunga’s evening-focused lineup) silk. Our favorite is this black and marigold sandal sling-back, but there are ballerina flats and the now de rigueur kitten heels in the mix.

Men Suit, An Appreciation

Fashion Style, We’re knee-deep in Milan men’s fashion week, and Men suit aficionados—myself included—should be happier than pigs in, well, what pigs like to wallow in. Womenswear designers have lately been hearing the call of the suit, too (witness the power-suit-heavy Fall ‘10 collections), and looking at both those ladies’ options and the finely tailored Italian versions currently parading through Milan, it’s easy to see why. There’s something so perfect and self-contained about a great suit, whether it’s a classic version, like Ermenegildo Zegna’s, or a jazzed-up new standard, like Prada’s denim-on-denim (pictured), or Martyn Bal’s new eighties revivals at Versace. The suit is a uniform, but worn right, it can be one in the best possible sense of the word—something worn because it enables. I think that’s what Rick Owens was getting at, when, a few years ago, he professed his admiration for the Parisian interior designer Jean-Michel Frank, who whittled his wardrobe down to one perfect item. “Supposedly he has 40 identical gray flannel suits,” he said. “That always impressed me.” Find what really works, and don’t change it. Or change it ever so slightly to fit you. That’s what I thought when I read Karen Wright’s catalog of her run-ins with the incomparable painter David Hockney in More Intelligent Life. Tucked away at the bottom was a great little detail: Hockney, who has famously taken to sketching using iPhone (and now iPad) apps in place of pencil and paper, has his suits altered to accommodate. Each one—even his tuxedo—has a deep inner pocket sewn into the jacket, one that precisely fits the iPad. If you want to be a master, you’ve got to dress the part.
