Monday may have been the coldest day of the year, but I tried my hardest to bring some heat to Telemundo 47’s “Acceso Total,” where I discussed one of the prevalent fashion trends for the upcoming Spring 2015 season: fringe!
Both the Maybelline makeup and Kenra Professional hairstyling teams described the beauty look for the SUNO Fall 2015 show as having tribal overtones, but there was a subtlety in their execution that emphasized a mood, a state of mind, rather than underlining a sociocultural group or overtly referencing a specific population or geographic locale.
In the past, Alexander Wang’s sporty, modern, and city chic collections have drawn inspiration from motorsports to classic sneakers, but for his Fall 2015 collection, the celebrated designer turned to the dark side, giving his looks a decidedly gothic feel.
Once temperatures dip to the single digits, it feels impossible to look fashionable while also staying warm — especially given the amount of layers necessary to withstand the frigid air outside.
The red carpet at the Grammy Awards has a reputation for welcoming everything from over-the-top flashy and theatrical looks (as in 2010, when Gaga donned a yellow wig and a dress with hula hoop-like orbs circling the bodice, or in 1980, when Grace Jones donned an umbrella-shaped hat) to bafflingly eccentric ensembles(Bjork’s swan dress comes to mind), piquant and provocative get-ups (think of the plunging green Versace number Jennifer Lopez wore in 2000), outfits so funky and glittery they border on gawdy, and a fair share of glamorous gowns with unconventional details.
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day (a February 13th festivity invented by Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope that involves lady friends celebrating one another and having a “Lilith Fair minus the angst” amount of fun), the sentiments behind your holiday of choice should be affection, respect, gratitude, and joy.
Love may conquer all, but that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to forget (or ignore) Valentine’s Day when you’re in some form of a relationship — whether it’s a new development that’s still in its nascent stages, a long-distance arrangement, a live-in partnership, or a marriage.
When it comes to foreseeing the explosive interest in activewear and, moreover, in performance clothing that could transition from the gym to the street, Stella McCartney held the magic crystal ball first, carving out a special place within the fashion landscape in which fitness and style could co-exist.
I’ve been fighting a flu of epic proportions, so I was snuggling under layers of blankets last night, my hands clutching a cup of ginger tea, looking very unglamorous while watching the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards last night.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you might be looking to spruce up that lingerie drawer and escape from a dreadful rut of white, black, and powder pastel-colored cotton granny panties.
