This London Fog campaign features a classic portrait of Gisele in an iconic London Fog trench; it is a very fitting image for this timeless brand." Marder added, "Although Gisele was photographed while pregnant, most of the shots have been retouched to respect her privacy during this wonderful and personal time in her life."

Bundchen wears London Fog outerwear in the campaign.

Ever thought that getting wet in the heavy downpours will also be fun? Saggy clothes and wet boots are a part of the monsoon, but right choice of accessories, will help to dodge the puddles and give a trendy look.

Any clothing ranging from tops, skirts, and dresses will go with the season, while a knee length costume along with a colored pair of leggings would best sustain the monsoon sprit.

Vibrant shades of indigo, red, green and blue are the designers’ choice for monsoon. Along with it, electric shades of bright green, orange, and pink also complement.

It is best to avoid fabrics like chiffon, and crepe as getting wet might affect its quality. The right combination of colorful accessories makes the monsoon attire all the more appealing.

Aqua colored glass beads, and funky translucent bangles make the match for monsoon clothing. Beautiful bracelets, earrings, and neck pieces made of plastic, rubber, and acrylic make a trendy fad.

"Supermodels' face's from the past"

Abstract

This is a compilation of research that gives us a quick peek about how the fashion industry was literally tamed by some of the most notoriously gorgeous faces in the history of fashion.

It shows how the supermodels gradually transformed themselves from being "mere cloth hangers" to being the "trend setters" thereby giving fashion of there era a new dimension altogether.

Introduction

Some time back supermodel Claudia Schiffer famously said that the 'supermodel culture' is dead. Schiffer also said that supermodels like herself, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford 'don't exist anymore'. The German model blamed the film and the pop stars for stealing the status of fame and international recognition which was once possessed solely by supermodels. And this is where the inspiration of this research work comes from.

myWallaby Limited has launched its website and is now selling the myWallaby Agile Bag, the first bag for girls ages 3 to 9 that serves both as a purse and doll carrier.

myWallaby Limited bags are made in the USA from the finest materials. Each purse contains over 50 individual pieces of fabric and accessories. myWallaby spent over a year and a half designing and developing the Agile Bag, the first girl's bag designed specifically to serve both as a purse and doll carrier. Its patent pending design enables it to be converted from a purse to doll carrier in just a matter of seconds. Once in carrier mode, it can accommodate a variety of dolls, ranging in size from 12 to 18 inches.

myWallaby will start shipping the Agile Bag during August 2009.

"We are excited to finally debut the myWallaby Agile Bag. My wife and I have worked hard to make sure the bag is designed with the features and quality that today's girls demand," says Eric Hildenbrand, the company's co-owner.

"After seeing so many girls around NYC with their dolls tucked under their arms, stuffed into backpacks or even into shopping bags, we knew we could create a product that would help girls transport and display their dolls in style," added Myriam Hildenbrand, the company's other co-owner.

Mr. Hildenbrand went on to state: "What really sets the myWallaby Agile Bag apart from others is that it is designed to carry a doll facing forward in an expandable pocket that resembles a real Wallaby pouch."

MANGO chose the beautiful actress as the image for the campaign for her extraordinary personality, which embodies the ideal of the urban, enterprising, daring woman that we target. Johansson is the epitome of an elegant, sensual woman who is at the same time both creative and inquisitive, and always aware of the latest fashion.

During the photo shoot, which took place in Los Angeles, Scarlett posed in our new designs for the next season. She was radiant and sensual in the lens of the renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti, with styling advice from MANGO’s Creative Director and Board Member Damián Sánchez. Hair and make-up were by Bob Recine and Aaron de Mey respectively.

With her well-established career, Scarlett has shown great versatility in all of her work, playing a wide range of different characters. Her talent has been recognised by such prestigious directors as Woody Allen, Christopher Nolan, Robert Redford, Brian De Palma and Sofia Coppola.

This season, the MANGO woman is given even greater power and strength with the incorporation into her wardrobe of clear references to the 1980s.

LamanBlu by Holli Gibson is the winner of the Children’s Wear category for the Rising Star 2009 Award. The Rising Star is awarded to an outstanding designer by The Fashion Group International, Inc. The field was narrowed from 27 finalists to 10 category winners.

Category winners will participate in the prestigious Rising Star Fashion by Design runway gala, the biannual signature event orchestrated by Fashion Group International of Denver, on October 23, 2009. “I am honored to be chosen as the category winner for Children’s Wear. Fashion Group International has such a wonderful reputation and history in the industry,” says Holli Gibson.

Designers will present their collections in this runway gala at Mercedes-Benz of Westminster, the presenting sponsor. The event, which will include silent and live auctions, benefits FGI’s scholarship and educational outreach programs.

FGI is a global non-profit where fashion industry professionals connect, create and move the fashion industries – apparel, accessories, beauty and the home. The first non-profit fashion organization that now boasts 6,000 members worldwide originally became a force in New York City, the organization’s headquarters. Helena Rubenstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Edith Head and others with early New York fashion careers are responsible for FGI’s founding.

The concept of Fashion Group International began originally in New York in 1928 when 17 women, gathered by Edna Woolman Chase, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, met for lunch in a modest midtown New York restaurant. They had three things in common: Each held a job of consequence in the business of fashion, each held all the others in high regard and together they held a belief that fashion needed a forum, a stage, or a force to express and enhance a widening awareness of the American fashion business and of women’s roles in that business.

Monsoon is one more opportunity for fashionistas to display a fashion statement.

Every time when the sky opens and there is a heavy downpour, people lose interest in dressing and going out of their houses. But this is the right season to organize a cheerful wardrobe, wear bold colors and have a fashion fiesta. Saggy clothes and wet boots are a part of the monsoon, but right choice of accessories, will help to dodge the puddles and give a trendy look. The first and best clothing would be colorful raincoats. Cream, brown and black make normal attire, whilst a pink coat with a belt will look attractive. Any clothing ranging from tops, skirts, and dresses will go with the season, while a knee length costume along with a colored pair of leggings would best sustain the monsoon sprit.

Hues for the Rain:

Designers say that bright shades of indigo, green and blue hold good for monsoon. Various hues of sea to dark shades of green will be the choice of the season. Designer's favorite palette of purple, lemon yellow and white are also the best picks of monsoon. Not just vibrant colors, but even light hues of fuschia pink and soft pastels of pink, orange and peach help to lighten the mood. Wrinkle free clothing in dark shades of black and brown make an ideal formal wear. Beige tined with multi-colors and black seem perfect during the rain.

Fabrics for the Rain:

Blended fabrics of polynylon and, cotton will be ideal. A right choice of fabric is more important, as some of them lose their sheen and get spoilt quickly once they get wet. Avoiding crepe and chiffon clothes are desirable, as they will lose their sheen one they become wet. Capri and beach wear designed with a proper fit will flatter the shape and also protect the wearer from wet conditions. Cool casuals for the season would be a jeans fitted with a cotton shirt. Silk and rayon will also make a popular choice during this season adding depth to the hues with variances in the color palette which is otherwise not seen.
