Designers sent their models to the runways in December, 2007 without some key items, mainly their clothing. No, no one was parading nude down the runway, but many of the lithe beauties were sporting what appears to be undergarments worn as outer garments. Whether the designers ran out of ideas or if they

Heidi Klum Says the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a Dreamland Fantasy

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Get your eyeballs ready, ladies and gents. The annual fashion show that sparks a manly droolfest and sends women straight to the stairmaster is just around the corner. Yes, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show will air Tuesday at 10pm Eastern, on CBS.

As usual, this year’s show will feature loads of skin along with some of the most bizarre accompaniments seen on the catwalk. Angel wings and sky-high stilettos are par for the course at this show, but expect feather skirts and crystal-encrusted extras to find their way on stage as well. While the foundational underpinnings such as the bras, panties and teddies are available for purchase, all of the outfit enhancements are there simply to enforce the fantasy element of the show. Said 10-time VS catwalker, Heidi Klum:

“It’s dreamland fantasy: sex-goddesses wearing amazing lingerie. … You can’t wear it on the street, you can’t wear it underneath your clothes, but it’s fantasy and it’s so special.”

Adding to the fantasy this year are performances by will.i.am, Seal, and the Spice Girls. Of course, tossing in two dozen of the most fit, glamorous, and gorgeous women in the world doesn’t hurt either.

During the show, the girls will decorate an oversized Christmas tree, and an inspirational choir is set to wind through the crowd. Just try to find that in your average runway show.

With a $10 million budget (the most expensive fashion show in the world), expect to get a play-by-play of all the action, both on stage and back stage. There are sixteen cameras set up throughout the Kodak Theater that will capture every hip sway and bosom bounce. In fact, the show boasts almost as many cameras as the Super Bowl. The entire show is performed and taped twice, with the very best moments blended together to make up the special.

The hour-long fantasy commercial will feature a knock-out 61 skimpy ensembles. If you tune in, do stop back and let us know what you thought. Enjoy!

Taget Holographic Fashion Show

What’s a fashion show without models? Innovative, says Target.

Yes, the giant U.S. discount retailer, known for it’s forward-thinking marketing practices, will stage an entirely holographic fashion show on Tuesday and Wednesday in Manhattan.

Transformer Dresses, Go Go Gadget Dress

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

British Designer Hussein Chalayan who is known for pushing the limits, is definitely living up to his reputation. Theses dresses have actuators built into them, that make the you know … move and … do stuff. There doesn’t seem to be much benefit to the transforming, but hey at least they don’t look like some bad animae movie.

The last dress is kind of interesting, the entire dress sucks up into your hat leaving you standing there wearing nothing but a pair of heels and hat. I’ve know quite a few ex-boyfriends who have enjoyed that especially if it came with a remote control, but we’ll save that for another time …

Odd Fashion at New Zealand Fashion Week

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Jaeha Winter 2008 CollectionI know that fashion week is for the wild, the eccentric, and sometimes the just plain odd.

But isn’t this too much?

This model wears an all-black ensemble as she struts her stuff on the catwalk at New Zealand Fashion Week.

Her black knee-high lace-up boots are complemented by a hooded jacket and a umm … a ski mask?

What statement is this outfit making? Where could you wear it?

To a bank robbery? In a sandstorm?

Oh well … maybe I just don’t get it.

In case you were wondering, this outfit is from the Jaeha Winter 08 collection.

Ignoring the ski mask, I think I really like the boots. I would have loved to have seen them with a black or grey tunic dress and bright colored tights.

One of my favorite looks for fall is brights accessories with blacks and greys. Many women aren’t comfortable wearing a fuschia or orange dress, but would like to add a little color to their wardrobe.

By wearing bright tights, shoes, jewelry and headbands, you can get a little wild without it being “too much.”
