HAUTE MESS
Trend Traps...Fashions Faux Pas
This Fall's collections border on the outrageous...and hideous. However...there are ways to give these trends a sexy mix and a touch of class.

The Trend: The Printed Suit

The Issue: Fall's big on pattern...with one exception:

 You don't want to look like you're wearing wallpaper...

TheFix: Go for printed separates instead of a head-to-toe ensemble.

Choose one busy piece...either a top or a bottom and keep everything else simple and solid. Also...printed skirts are generally more flattering than pants...a pattern can make you look larger than you actually are...and who want's that!!

The Trend: Fur All Over

The Issue: Dressing up as a teddy bear for Halloween is adorable.

Dressing up as a teddy bear on a random Tuesday...not so much. This all-over fur ensemble is hideous.

 

The Fix: Less is more. If you like the look but don't want to wear a yeti fur cape like this one...try a faux-fur collar on a blazer or cardigan for a luxurious but understated feel.

The Trend: Oversize Coats

The Issue: Brisk fall breezes make it tempting to leave the house wrapped up in something resembling a sleeping bag. If only it were slightly less blimpy looking.

Most people work hard to maintain a slimmer figure...why cover it all up with something that makes you look bigger than you are?

 

The Fix: If you want volume (and warmth!), pick a coat that's fitted at the shoulders and looser elsewhere...like a car coat or a trapeze coat. Wear it with an item underneath that's got a sleek silhouette...like slim-cut pants or a pencil skirt.

 

The Trend: Too Much Sheer Lace

The Issue: Lace is very lady-like...but overdo it and it looks gaudy and cheap. Showing too much skin can look very stripper-esque.

 

The Fix: Choose no more than one part of the body to get the sheer treatment.

Lace sleeves on an otherwise solid shirt or a lacy camisole peeking out from underneath

a blazer are alluring alternatives to a Vegas peek-a-boo outfit.
 

The Trend: Statement Hats

The Issue: Avoid them unless you want to look like a Dr. Seuss character. You don't want to wear anything that would make anyone wonder...What was she thinking?

 

 

The Fix: Choose a hat that complements, rather than distracts

from your outfit...like a fedora or a knit cap.

 

The Trend: Baroque

The Issue: Wearing heavy brocade all over tends to make you look like a couch.

The Fix: When trying this trend...remember...a little goes a long way (you don’t want to look like a refugee from Game of Thrones).

Pair a brocade top with jeans or accessorize a little black dress with a show stopping brocade jacket.
 

The Trend: Military

The Issue: Atten-shun! Military-inspired fashion is one of the most adaptable trends out there.But wearing an all over military look can have you looking like a Storm Trooper!

 

The Fix: you can go with a double-breasted jacket or try just a touch with a riding boot.

A dressy take on military is the freshest way to wear it right now: think a gold-buttoned red dress instead of camo cargo pants.

 

HAUTE RIDES
Peugeot Onyx : un concept-car hybrid

 

With a sloping front and a roof like the double-bubble Peugeot RCZ Coupe...it also sports an innovative combination in body design. Carbon fiber with a sheet copper patina. The body isn't simply painted and immutable but almost alive..giving a feeling of soul to the car.

The interior of the cockpit is futuristic and simplistic. The Peugeot concept car in its present HYBRID version combines the motor of 908 Hybrid...a V8 diesel 600CH coupled to an electric motor providing additional 80HP.

The Peugeot ONYX certainly shows outstanding performance.

Unfortunately the Peugeot Onyx is not intended to be mass produced...so it's only being sold as a bespoke luxury car. The rest of us can only dream of owning one...

HAUTE GUYS:
The Hottest Excessories!
Cool Stuff for the boys...

A Hot Tub That’s Also a Tugboat ! Yesterday: there were no hot tub tugboats. Today: there are now hot tub tugboats. The end. Oh, come on... like you even need more of an intro than that. Fine. We’ll go on. Behold the immaculate conception of the HotTug, which is exactly what happens when a few guys in the Netherlands decide to combine the glory of a hot tub with the floatiness of a tugboat (yes, it’s also a boat), available online now. Seriously though. It’s a floating wood-fired hot tub. It’s got one of those big pipes coming out of it and everything. Smoke plumes. Stainless-steel oven. Outboard motor. The whole nine. And to get your hands on one, you’ll need to jump online and shoot an email to someone in Rotterdam. Someone who understands your need to fill this thing with water, throw some seasoned firewood into the oven and wage a shock-and-awe campaign on anyone you happen to be sharing a body of water with. So do that. Pick your captain’s hat up from the cleaners, round up a few cocktail-forward coxswains and find a lake. You’ll be able to navigate through the water just like you would in any other small boat. Except you’ll be in a hot tub. With smoke spewing out of it. And probably some champagne. You’re in a hot tub tugboat. You should celebrate.

An Elite Squad of Female Cigar Rollers

Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. Except when that cigar happens to be rolled by an elite squad of charming experts... Introducing Cigar Dolls, a roving team of alluring tobacconists rolling stogies for hire. They’re basically the A-Team of female cigar-rolling. (Nothing against the B-Team.) You’ll book them the same way you book a bartender or an ’80s cover band...but instead of vodka sodas and stirring Eddie Money renditions...they’re handing out freshly rolled Montecristos. Oh...and using butane torch lighters to fire them up. So the next time you’re putting together a smoke-filled gathering of business leaders in a rogue poker lounge buried deep underneath the Bellagio (hypothetically)...you can call in the daughter of a master cigar roller to keep you in smoke. She’ll set up shop behind the bar with bunches of Dominican shade tobacco and fresh wrapper leaves. Also, she may or may not be wearing a little black dress of some kind... The nonsmoking section will be very small....www.CigarDolls.com

Franca Sozzani Is ‘Really Tired of Writing
About Fashion Shows’


"Fashion weeks, long waiting times and then the reviews," Franca Sozzani for Vogue Italia.
I’m really tired of writing about fashion shows. Fashion weeks, long waiting times and then the reviews. Yes, I must admit that writing about clothes bores me. I like looking at them, wearing them, but reviewing them is the less fun part.

However, on the second last day of fashion shows there is a consideration I have to make, at the cost of sounding "old-fashioned". Elegance is the new avant-garde. I’m fed up with extravagant clothes, that are synonymous with tastelessness, and also with badly crafted garments. I find them passé, garments a second-rank actress would wear in one of those out-of-money, small-town theatres where the costumes where badly made using unappealing fabrics.

Declaring that elegance is beautiful is like calling ourselves bourgeois, and not even that enlightened. Those who believe they are avant-garde designers offer us unsightly garments, ugly and cheap.

But who cares: elegance is the new avant-garde. Full stop. Make your comments, but with tangible evidence. The collection by Valentino (and who cares if it’s an Italian house) designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri was a celebration of elegance, of refinement and also of eccentricity. The flawless craftsmanship and the simple and sumptuous embroidery were extremely elegant and made women look beautiful.

But why on earth should we spend money on the rags that a few fashion victims call "divine"? And to go where, besides? And with whom? Valentino was chic... We should not be appalled by so much refinement, but, instead, be glad there is still someone who designs for women who want to look good and be liked: not by runway photographers, but by friends, fiancés, lovers!
I’ll say it again: being truly avant-garde means being elegant when all the others look as if they’ve just stepped out of a circus.

Also Chanel decided to go back to pearls, to elegance, to old-style white collars and signature Chanel fabrics for the suits. It doesn’t mean being conformist, it’s a longing to leave behind the homologation of a ridiculous and, let’s say it, ugly style.

Let’s be subversive, let’s learn how to dress well again... Each one of us in our own way, without prefixed codes, but with elegance.


Nicolas Ghesquière Addresses Fashion’s
“Size Issue”

Picture credit: GoRunway

BALENCIAGA creative director Nicolas Ghesquière has addressed fashion's "size issue", stating that his attitudes towards the subject have evolved since he first started at the influential fashion label 15 years ago.

"We started very skinny, it's true," he said. "Strangely...we didn't have fit models at all to begin with...just to give you an idea of the size of the company. So we did fittings on the girls at the studio and they were often quite petite. I had a tendency to think good cut and small size was best suited...but a good cut should come in PLUS sizes too. That's what I want to focus on...it's the cut...not the sizing and if people see that they can wear something in a PLUS size...then I did my job."
His approach to cut isn't the only thing that the designer has re-evaluated in terms of the brand's aesthetic.
"When I started, my clothes were heavier...but now it has to be very light and it's a big technical challenge," he told The Sunday Times. "The idea of Balenciaga is suspended compact clothes. There is an idea of floating...let's say. So the challenge is to have this idea...but for today."

Why the Over-50 Crowd is Conquering Fashion

The fashion industry is all about trends...and that extends to the models as well as the clothes. One month it’s all about gap-tooth smiles, and the next it’s about curvy bods and boobs. Still, there seems to be a general ‘type’ in fashion lately. So, it goes without saying that there hasn’t been much of a place for models over the age of 60 in the industry. That is, until recently.

Earlier this month, American Apparel cast a 61-year-old in their ads, and then just two weeks ago, Lanvin’s fall 2012 campaign broke featuring not one but two ladies over the age 60 (62, and 82, respectively). And, most recently Bulgari released its Fall 2012 ads starring 60-year-old Isabella Rossellini.

 

 Fashion, it seems, has found a new model muse and she’s over the age of 50.

A little ole blog could be responsible for this trend towards embracing senior models. Advanced Style, begun by Ari Seth Cohen in 2008, has been profiling the inspiring street style of every day senior citizens (it’s basically the Sartorialist for the elderly set) and the site’s success–Cohen recently released a book and has a documentary in the works–goes to show that more and more people are beginning to pay attention to this older demographic. In fact, it was Cohen who helped cast Lanvin’s campaign.

“I have definitely noticed an increase in the visibility of older models since I started Advanced Style four years ago,” Cohen said. Patty Sicular, a model manager who has worked with the ‘Legends Division’ (that’s the group that represents older models) at Trump Models since the late ’80s, agrees.

“In 1987, I started working with ‘older models,’ which back then, meant models in their late 20′s,” Sicular said.

“Then, years later, when we got a great booking for a model age in her 30′s, then, we started getting demands for models in her 40s, then 50s, and now, the sky is the limit.”

Why It’s Happening

While fashion’s sudden interest in the over-sixty set seems surprising, it makes a lot of sense when you consider that the Baby Boom generation–the most sizable population group in the United States–is now between the ages of 48 and 66. And, at the risk of stating the obvious: They’re only growing older.

Because the average life expectancy keeps growing older, we can expect these numbers to swell.

“Older people make up the largest part of the population and they are tired of being ignored,”

Advanced Style’s Cohen says “Media either tends to ignore the senior set, or casts aging in a negative light.

But with the internet and blogger boom images outside of the fashion industry have become very influential.

Now, brands have taken notice and are realizing that they have to market towards ‘real’ people.” And increasingly, ‘real’–as in ‘average’–means older.

What’s more, being ‘elderly’ doesn’t mean what it used to. The over 50s in developed economies are the fittest and most active in history, thanks to healthy and plentiful eating, good medical care and an active lifestyle.

Because of these lifestyle and attitude changes, being over 50 is no longer considered being "over the hill".

Of course, brands aren’t just reaching out to seniors for the sake of inclusion. They’re doing it because there’s lots of money to be made. One of the most interesting trends is that elderly consumers these days are more inclined to spend their money. The preconception of older consumers is that they tend to be more set in their ways than their younger counterparts, more frugal and less hedonistic, and more likely to save than spend freely.

However, while this is not untrue, as attitudes to ageing have changed, a growing number of over 60s are increasingly drawing equity on their houses or taking on debt rather than leaving their assets to offspring.

How Brands Are Targeting The Senior Citizen Demographic

This financial and lifestyle shift among seniors brings with it both opportunities and challenges for apparel retailers.

While some companies–like American Apparel are beginning to target the mature demographic, brands that have always marketed to the over-50 crowd have to try different strategies to talk to this ‘new’ senior citizen.

The elderly today are not just white-haired grandmas and grandpas: They’re vibrant, empowered individuals with a life and style all their own.

Older people want to see someone they can relate to and can be inspired by. Slowly but surely, the way seniors are being targeted in ads is beginning to change–and that’s creating more and more opportunity for older models.

Such talents as Carol Alt, Carmen Dell’Orefice and Beverly Johnson...are women who scream high fashion not adult diapers. These classic supermodels, now in their fifties, sixties, and seventies, are no less beautiful–or captivating–than when they began their careers.

“The approach has been to build up the Legends division to mirror the younger division, letting the clients see how beautiful these women are, demanding similar pay structures, demanding the respect they deserve and placing these models in the most prestigious magazines, campaigns, television commercials and catalogs” Sicular says.

In turn, these stunning older models have given regular senior folk a high fashion image to aspire to and they’re helping to smash preconceived notions about what it means to age.

 

Going Forward: Is This Just Another Trend?

Right now, it seems like older models are definitely having a moment. But fashion is a fickle place. So, will the over-65 set continue to conquer the fashion industry–or will this trend merely die out?

All the experts we spoke with agreed it’s probably the former. Considering demographic trends...an aging population, longer life expectancy, bigger spending habits and the greater awareness the internet has brought to senior citizens’ full (and stylish) lives, it seems the fashion industry will continue to embrace seniors.

Only don’t expect fashion to do a complete 180.
 

The primary difference between younger and older consumers in terms of apparel shopping is a difference in priority of value over volume. For older consumers, items are intended to last and not change from season to season.

However this attitude presents an opportunity to clothing companies to create higher-quality garments that still cater to trends and charge a high premium for it.

So it follows that the one place that probably won’t start catering to the senior set is the fast fashion industry.

However...given the long-term changes to demographics and the eventual influence these will have on the apparel market, it would be short-sighted of major apparel retailers not to at least consider branching out and enhancing their offerings for the older consumer as a possibility for future development.

I think older ladies are awesome–and I’m excited we’re getting to see more of them these days.

Beauty Ads the ‘Biggest Lie of All'

Anonymous Retoucher Says ’100 percent’ of Fashion Images Have Been Altered!

In a world where models are getting their limbs cut off left-right-and-center and magazines are using photoshop to frankenstein their celeb covers...it’s no secret that a lot of retouching goes on these days. All you need to do is open any magazine or look at any beauty ad for proof.

But how much retouching actually gets done, on any given photo? And what is a retoucher’s most requested touch up? BuzzFeed Shift spoke to an actual retoucher–who wished to remain anonymous–to get the answers. Here’s what we learned.

Beauty ads are, as we suspected, basically all fake:

“I do work on a lot of cosmetics images, too, and the mascara ads are just ridiculous. They wear false eyelashes...of course...in the photoshoot and we completely draw the lashes in one by one so it’s just like a forest of eyelashes. That’s like the biggest lie of all...you can’t achieve that.”

Putting a disclaimer on all retouched images is probably not going to work…because every image has been fiddled with:

There’s just no way an image would be released without any retouching at all so every single ad would have that disclaimer on it. And absolutely 100 percent of what’s in fashion magazines is retouched… You can never have no retouching across the board...because some of it you just have to do if something’s really distracting in a picture.

Models’ bodies don’t get retouched as much as you might think:

With fashion work, I don’t do a lot of distortion of women’s bodies, which I think is terrible. I have been asked to slim down a waist or make the legs a little skinnier, but not anything too crazy…Sometimes people don’t realize that models choose that career and they succeed for a reason. They have been genetically blessed with a fantastic physique and beauty.

Sometimes it’s the clothes–not the models–that need the most help.

With fashion itself...sometimes the clothes are not fitting the way they’re supposed to. They’re always pinned in the back...for example...and then the wrinkles are taken out with retouching. So the clothes are kind of a lie, too. Nothing is going to fit that perfectly when you try it on.

Models look slim–and yet somehow not sickly or boney–with the help of photoshop.

I have smoothed boniness before...like when models have bones sticking out of their chest, they want that subdued. That’s somewhat common.

It’s skin that gets the biggest overhaul.

We completely remove veins and freckles and moles and bags under the eyes all the time. We often remove body hair...subdue wrinkles...whiten teeth...pop the eyes. We also smooth kneecaps and veins in the hands and things like that ...anything that’s distracting that takes away from the product being featured.

Frankensteining, as we like to call it, is pretty run of the mill.

But retouchers do things like cut out a head from one photo and put it on the body from another. I do that kind of stuff all the time. Let’s say they do a photoshoot with a model and the body comes out well...but she’s got a wonky look on her face. They might want to put this head on that body. Or they want to put an arm from one photo on the body of another...that’s common.

All in all...what you see...is NOT what you get....Don't believe the hype... 

HAUTE SHOTS: Expensive Luxury

Sail Away in Style on Your Own Solar-Powered 

Orsos Floating Island Home

Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to simply raise an anchor and move your home to a new country? Well, if you live on a luxury Orsos Island, you can do just that. The floating home resorts are designed to “combine all the positive aspects of mainland real estate and luxury yachts” by offering homeowners their own solar-powered private island abodes that can be moved and re-anchored whenever they feel like it.

The Orsos Islands have been specially developed for private use as well as the exclusive hotel industry and are expected to be available by 2013. Each island is rumoured to cost $4.6 million which unfortunately only makes them ideal for the super-rich.

Each ‘island home’ is over 20 meters wide (65+ ft.) and more than 37 meters in length (121+ ft.) and has enough accommodation of up to 12 guests should you wish to invite people on to your tropical retreat.

The islands are also completely sustainable and feature an autonomous power supply based energy system. Not only does each island have more than 160 m² of solar panels to take advantage of the beautiful weather, but is also powered, both day and night, by a blissfully noiseless wind energy system. The island also takes heat from the sea water in order to power the heating and air conditioning. All of this is controlled by an intelligent computer system that monitors the entire energy management process.

The system also ensures that any excess energy is not wasted by distributing it to various batteries. It is also used in the treatment of salt water to make drinking water and for the disposal of waste water. Recycled water only leaves the island in drinking water quality, to protect and sustain the environment as well as cement the green credentials of the Orsos Island.

However in the case of an emergency (or as the official website says ”to guarantee the maintenance of the power supply and security of ORSOS Islands”) each resort is equipped with two diesel engines!
