WORLD OF
MODELING MAIN PAGE:
The World top 100 models. From the classiest to the
outrageous. Also the risqué photos...Super
models make more money than a president of a university, a professor of
astrophysics and a NASA scientist.
The world of fashion is
temperamental. It changes with the weather. And this is why we have winter
fashion, summer fashion, spring fashion, etc. You got my drill. And as a
result, new models surface and catch the light. Others come and fade away.
However, there is a breed of models which transcends time and space...and
seasons. Those are the clever super models who redefine and reinvent
themselves. While at the top of the world, the super models catch the
glitters and bitterly fight the competition. They become selfish, shrewd
and manipulative. At the dawn of their career, they were young, vivacious
and their looks appealed to the industry, the markets, the designers and
the public...
The extravaganza of 2004 returns this year. More mythological signature
and motifs will embellish and charm the Parisian haute couture this
season. It is a sort of deja vu. But this year, the colors are brighter.
Common
sense dictates that in order to make money, a fashion house should make
clothes that will be bought and worn by many. But at the court of John
Galliano, the fashion wonderland that is Christian Dior, common sense is
as foreign a concept as sensible shoes...
LONDON HIGH DRAMA AND HOT DESIGN FASHION.
High drama and hot design went
hand in hand at London Fashion Week. On the catwalk, the Great British
Eccentric enjoyed a comeback, wrapped in a stylish, boho mix of belted
tweed, patchwork and silk; jewelled and gloved - and never without a
little fur shrug or stole adorning her shoulders: Jasper Conran, Antoni
and Alison, Preen, Boudicca, Betty Jackson.
WORLD
OF FASHION THIS YEAR: Despite
the doe-eyed models, miles of muslin and yards of silk, the common man
managed to catch and keep the spotlight at Brazil's biggest designer
event, Sao Paulo Fashion Week. The watchwords at this year's event, were
sales and jobs. An entire floor of the Sao Paulo Biennal Pavilion was
transformed into a fashion salon, a polite word for a beehive of
functional conference rooms where sales personnel for three dozen
designers pushed this year's autumn and winter lines on big-buck buyers.
"This is fashion real people can wear," said Fause Haten of his masculine
line, a juxtaposition of cowboy boots, blue blazers and torn jeans. To
underline this year's minimalism, Haten had his 28 male models parade a
new line of boxer shorts as his show's grand finale. The last 12 months
have been a veritable "year of the common man" in Brazil, under tutelage
of the country's first working class president, former drill-press
operator and labour union boss Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva....
STARS,
STYLE AND SIGNATURE:
Today we know the price of everything and the value of nothing." Oscar
Wilde said that and he hadn't even seen In Style magazine.
In Style is the drop-dead worst magazine in print. It presents attractive
objects in dizzying abundance -- fine, that's its job -- but the way it
associates beautiful design with cheap unearned celebrity is wrong and
dangerous. Even I feel fretful after I read it, and I've never
run up a credit-card debt in my
life. How many women go bankrupt after reading In Style?

The Hollywood set turned its back on somber
shades and conservative cuts, and gushed about glamour once again.
Flesh was certainly on parade -- though not necessarily
in that censor-activating kind of way. Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron,
and Julia Roberts all went with nude tones for the big event....
