CIFF Trends - Fashion Season Autumn/Winter 2008-2009
• DARK FICTION
A world of depths, a ’Blade Runner’ universe will feed our imagination. We will explore organic, mineral and synthetic materials in imposing shapes, pared-down austerity and controlled roughness. It is a tribute to protective materials and colours.
COLOURS
Subtle darks, asphalt greys, oily greens, earthy browns, and pale greenish or pinkish faux whites. A deceptively colourless range that intensifi es mystery.

Patinated cottons. Mock plains, muted stripes, washed or oiled twills and denims.

Maxi knits. Rounded coats, thick jackets, sailor tunics, carapace sweaters, zipped heavy-duty sweaters. To wear over jackets instead of a coat. To layer over boxy pants and skirts.
High protection. Between neo-army and a post industrial look, functional jackets, reinforced dungarees, slim or baggy jeans that are greasy, torn and patched-up in
one-of-a-kind style.
Shockproof luxury. Airbag blousons, short tubular jackets in precious tech fabrics. Multilayer design or sheath line, adaptable functionality.
DETAILS
Uniform buckles, metal zips. Multipockets and belt loops. Fabric mixes on the garment. Tilted hems.
ACCESSORIES
Very dark or very light. To erase details and make products futuristic. Wide bracelets as though cut from the block, thick derby shoes as if moulded. Biker spirit, caps, ankle boots with buckles, satchel bags or harness-style waist packs.

Celebrity hair fashion - Britney Spears hair fashion 2009
Britney Spears created a sort of storm in the entire Music Industry soon after the release of her debut album ‘Baby One More Time” at the age of seventeen. Immediately after her fame as ‘Teen Pop-Super-Star’, Britney Spear appeared on the cover page of magazine ‘Rolling Stone’. At the launch of April 15, 1999, issue of Rolling Stone Britney Spears commented, “It was a fantastic experience! I loved the idea of me holding Tinky Winky and talking on the Phone”.
Due to excessive titillation factor, Britney Spears and the magazine raised the eyebrows of stalwarts of music industry. Several people called it half-jokingly as ‘Child-Pornography’. Many columnists went on to describe it as a marketing gimmick to exploiting the minds of teen boys and girls. It was also mentioned in some of the press reports that pictures such as the ones on this magazine are barely legal and should be banned. Many associations and organizations boycotted the stores selling the magazine and Britney Spears’ ‘Baby One More Time’ album.Celebrity hair fashion - Britney Spears hair fashion 2009
NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY: SHADY N.R. ELIAS COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW
The School of Fashion at Academy of Art University presented their Fall 2008 collections of recent graduates during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Two menswear collections were included. This post focuses on designer Shady N.R. Elias.
Born in Khartum, Sudan and raised in Cairo, Egypt, Shady’s collection found influences in the song “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) by the Audio Bully’s with Nancy Sinatra on vocals. This song also embodies the mindset of Shady’s consumer. Further inspirations were found in Shady Abdel Salam (famous Egyptian cinematographer, director and costume designer), Islamic military dress and 1970’s Japanese anime.
Shady described his collection to Haute Concept as having a “historic futuristic” vibe. Tailored looks consisted of blazers and vest made of eel skin, button-ups of saturated colors and inky overcoats.
A silhouette represented the weight of the world on his shoulders but finding an inner strength to stand strong.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: MICHAEL KORS COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW
For Fall/Winter 2008-2009, Michael Kors found inspiration in old Hollywood.
Instead of jet-setting Kors turned to old-school style in a collection he called, “the Reel Life”. Maybe because of our culture’s current obsession with the Hollywood elite and all that comes with it. Kors gave smart looks for men who love clothing and luxury.
Luxe cashmere sweaters, camel blazers horn rimmed glasses looked easily wearable on the smartly dressed models coming down the runway with their ladies.
Michael Kors is nothing if not wearable, and although he put costumey glasses and hats on the model (forcefully throwing the era on us) his clothing will fit right in for 2008.

With the new spring/summer 2009 collection D&G takes us back to a distant era. This time, the famous fashion duo must have drawn their inspiration from the silver screen; from those fabulous actors who used to melt our grandmothers’ hearts.
The D&G guy loves luxury items and wears expensive crocodile espadrilles; he usually passes his summers on a cruise through the Galapagos Islands or in Montecarlo splurging at the Casino. Dolce vita they call it!

What is fashion and what's gone out of fashion?
What brings us this season? What is “in” or “out”? What is fashion and what's gone out of fashion?
Despite that I am a lover of fashion; I always try to take with tweezers suggestions for the season of parades which take place in New York, Paris or London. This is because, as well as that sometimes the budget does not give to buy these beautiful clothes or that the prospect of our market is sometimes different from what happens in the rest of the world-is because we do not have the courage to use it or because the stores do not sell models that we want to buy, most times I try to have the philosophy of bringing fashion to my lifestyle, my tastes and what was left in my wardrobe for spring and summer, and that, like many, I cannot change my clothes every time we changed our season and year.
What I'm looking for is to try to buy some clothes fixed and / or accessories (which are usually cheaper) to give the look that this season "demands" in some way.
I remember when I was a girl, I hate-the famous Guess jeans were you had to have it ... independent if they were originals or not, you were a plus in your wardrobe. Nowadays, since my 31 years, that doesn’t mean that much for me.
Another thing we must also take into account is that not everything that is fashion we must use it. Many times this happens: something we love, but it does not go with our body type, but it is fashion, so we use it. Please we must take this idea out from our head.
It is also important and superfine now, as I mentioned in other post, everything is trendy. That is, the trends of past decades are a mix in fashion this year. Everything past is in!
Well, now they are going to what is going to be in fashion this season: Girls, to use skirts! This spring-summer long skirts, half leg, short, balloon, lines, bound, with pockets and others, like what clothes, both, are in. So ... take care of the legs!
All you need is fashion 2009!
What is fashion and what's gone out of fashion?
