A Brief Introduction to Fashion Shows


Fashion show is an event arranged by a fashion designer to showcase upcoming line of clothing. Generally in a fashion show models walk the catwalk dressed in the new clothing designed by the fashion designer.

Sometimes Fashion shows take the form of installations, where the models are static, standing or sitting in a constructed environment.

The order in which each model walks out wearing a specific outfit is usually planned in accordance to the statement that the designer wants to make about his or her collection. The way that each outfit is presented on the catwalk is not necessarily the way the designer is trying to make people wear his or her creations in everyday life. In this instances, this is more of an intellectual/artistic construction of the designer for the same purpose of making a statement or presenting a particular idea.

It is then up to the audience to not only try to understand what the designer is trying to say by the way the collection is being presented, but to also visually de-construct each outfit and try to appreciate the detail and craftsmanship of every single piece. A wide range of contemporary designers tend to produce their shows as theatrical productions with elaborate sets and added elements such as live music or a variety of technological component like holograms, for example

A Close Look At Prada

Prada is a top Italian designer fashion Brand. It is known throughout the world for its elegant, sophisticated and eye catching collections. The name is synonymous with luxury and style. Handbags and garments from Prada have become status symbols and indicate not only a sense of style but a way of life. Prada has a very long history, it began back in 1913 by Mario Prada. Prada was initially well known for its range of luxury suitcases which were sold throughout Europe. They later expanded to cover accessories, in particular luxury leather accessories. These included elegant leather handbags which would further build on their strong reputation.

It was only in the 1970s when Miuccia Prada, the founders granddaughter took over the brand, that it began to diversify. Prada brought out shoes in 1984, followed shortly after by the first Prada handbag. Prada handbags are a must have purchase for any fashion enthusiast. They are well known across the world for their carefully crafted nature and elegant stitching. Prada brought out a ready to wear line in 1989. The first clothing designed by Prada was in line with their emphasis on elegance, sophistication and simple fashion. The colours were understated, dark browns, greys and blacks. Many items were simple cut, flattering the female form and luxurious materials were used. The Miu Miu line began in the 1990`s, this targeted younger generations, providing more affordable clothing, but with the same classic design as Prada.

Today, Prada has emerged as one of the most significant fashion houses in the industry. Its designs are highly influential and the brand has received worldwide success. The experimentation of fabrics has lead to different fabric blends which many others have followed. Prada has also won numerous awards and now has stores across the globe. As well as clothing Prada offers popular accessories, handbags and shoes. Prada have currently broughto out a travel accessories collection. This fabulous collection goes back to Pradas roots by offering a colourful selection of Prada Luggage.

Prada is certainly amongst the most popular celebrity labels. Prada items are a staple feature with celebrity outfits. Top stars such as Cameron Diaz, Kate Beckingsdale, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria and many more, regualrly sport Prada designs. Prada has many iconic collections which feature fantastic items for both men and women. The latest Prada Cruise 2010 collection has an extremely tribal feel. It features plenty of printed skirts and dresses with low necklines and a colourful edge. When combined with elegant shirts, these can give very 1950s classic, preppy looks. Like all Prada designer clothing, this collection is sure to be a big hit.

Facelift Surgery in Beverly Hills

As we age, certain parts of our face tend to droop, sag, and develop wrinkles. This is most pronounced in the neck and on the sides of the face in areas called the jowls. Facelift can address these signs of aging. In the procedure, incisions are made around the ears and within the hair on the scalp. Modern facelift techniques as done at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery provide excellent results by tightening both the skin and the deeper tissues of the face and neck. This approach allows flexibility so the surgeon can tailor the procedure to each patient and avoid the “windswept” look that was common some years ago. The procedure is modified for each patient individually to provide the best results. It is often combined with other facial procedures such as browlift, blepharoplasty or neck liposuction depending on the needs of the patient. For some patients, the Rodeo Drive Chin Rejuvenation procedure can provide neck and chin improvement either with or without a facelift. Click here to learn more

We are all aware that there will be difficult times ahead but we have to continue to be positive. Conrad Dempsey, Sales Director, for Jaybill wholesale is confident this will be a productive year for them.
Jaybill, the wholesale division of JBI Ltd, has been in business for more than 65 years and has seen economic downturns come and go.

"It is more important than ever to ensure your customers have confidence in your products and service. We are also part of a major footwear group and are in a sound financial position, this is something we can be proud of and our customers can take comfort from." Conrad also believes that their commitment to investing in their top performing brands and having a sourcing team continually developing a full spectrum of footwear products at competitive price points has ensured they are well equipped for the year ahead "Our footwear is, and always has been, extremely competitively priced and I believe this will help to bring in more business over this period as small chains and independents look to streamline their costs wherever possible without compromising on quality of their footwear offering" Early signs from there regional shows go some way to proving Conrad right as sales have been very promising with a lot of business being picked up from new customers.
If you browse the Jaybill Spring Summer 2009 catalogue you will see a wide range of footwear available including their successful brands The Leather Collection, Platino, Princess Stardust, Dinosaur Hunters and Rockstorm to name a few. This year also sees the second edition of their new Dr Keller brochure, a brand Jaybill have invested in quite significantly as it has proven to be one of their top performers for over 10 years.
