Ungaro hires Lindsay Lohan as fashion adviser

(Reuters Life!) - Hollywood actress and wild child Lindsay Lohan is working with fashion house Emanuel Ungaro on a spring-summer collection, to be unveiled at the ready-to-wear shows in Paris in October.
Paris-based Ungaro said in a statement on Wednesday it had named Lohan "artistic adviser" and she would work with newly appointed chief designer Estrella Archs, contributing her experience as a consumer of luxury goods.
Lohan, who starred in the 2004 movie "Mean Girls", is known for her love of fashion and shopping, but over the past two years her creative endevours have been eclipsed by scandals, nightclub antics and drug problems.
She was briefly jailed in 2007 after being convicted of drunk driving and cocaine possession, and made to wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet.
The 23-year-old has recently been trying to rebuild her career, starring in an ABC Family television movie and launching a new production company.

How to wear hot weather fashions in cold temperatures

Dear Marilyn:
I was so tired of my winter clothing that I impulsively bought a black and white print cotton sundress. Is there any way I can wear my dress in this cool spring season? -Ina
Dear Ina:
Usually the principle of layering makes it possible to wear lighter clothing even when the weather does not cooperate. Your personal look will determine if any or all of the following suggestions are solutions for you.
1) Wear your dress over a long-sleeved top and tights, then accessorize. A black turtleneck that fits close to the body, or a top in a stylish new bright colour, anchored with a black belt, hose and shoes will work.
2) Use your dress as a skirt and simply slip a flattering pullover on top.
3) Try wearing a cotton shirt in black, white or any flattering colour over your dress. Lift the collar slightly, roll your sleeves to three-quarter length and tie in with a belt in the width that works best for you. Use the belt over your shirt for a more tucked-in look, or on your dress, leaving your shirt free and easy.
4) Jacket your dress with a soft cardigan, shrug or tailored jacket and complete with hose and shoes.
5) Make your dress part of a coat and dress ensemble. Use it under a three-quarter or knee-length cardigan or tailored "jacket/coat."
6) Use the top of your dress as a tank top by slipping a skirt over your dress and build from there.
Incorporating a summer dress into a current spring look is definitely possible when you use your imagination and experiment to find your best looks. Enjoy your dress starting now!
Dear Marilyn:
How do you suggest I wear my neutral linen safari shirt? It has epaulettes and long sleeves and comes down to my knees. - Heather
Dear Heather:
Your shirt is a classic that is also a current fashion trend and will prove to be extremely useful for all four seasons of the year.
Here are some contrasting ways that you can wear it to add variety:
Wear it belted or not.
Wear it with the sleeves down long or pushed up or rolled to three-quarter length.
Wear it as a shirt over slim pants or leggings.
Wear it as a dress, if the length suits you.
Wear it open as an easy third piece over a dress or top and bottom ensemble.
Wear it under a vest or jacket (both long and short will work).
Wear it with the colours you love to wear or punctuate it with dominant neutrals such as black, brown or navy.
Wear it with accessories and underpinnings that tie in to its buttons. With natural shell buttons, try a soft white top and pearl-toned jewelry. Use a saddle leather belt and wooden beads for an earthy look, and definitely use gold or silver with colourful stones to complete your look when your fasteners are metal. Playing off the established colour rhythm of your shirt and buttons will give you a pulled-together look.
Wardrobe statements using your shirt are limitless since it can be teamed with most fabrics, layered to make it comfortable in all seasons and paired with almost any colour you desire. Congratulations on acquiring such a versatile, durable and stylish shirt. Enjoy!

GLAMOUR girl Brynne Edelsten plans to launch her own fashion line. The bubbly Californian turned heads at Tuesday night's LMFF Runway One show in a super-short, halterneck embellished dress clinging to every curve.
Edelsten said she loved Australian labels like sass & bide, but that she was still buying a lot of her clothes from the US.
She said she would like to start designing her own Australian-based line, with a range of dramatic evening wear, jewellery and even swimsuits.
"It's something I would really love to do. I love fashion," she said.
Edelsten stepped out at the Lavazza bar with husband Geoffrey by her side.
"He keeps me young!" she laughed.

Men's fashions: The cat in the hat is back

.

 

 

A model walks the runway wearing a hat during the Lanvin fashion show in Paris in January. At the recent men's wear shows in Paris and Milan, hats returned to the stage after declining over the last few decades

There was a time when only beggars went bareheaded. This was some while ago, a century or so. But up until World War II and the period just after, a gentleman was not considered properly dressed without a hat. Even the names of hats were rich in character and historical association. The bowler, or derby, with the rigid shape of an upended bean pot, was named for a 19th-century English earl who popularized the style. The fedora's name came from a play of that title, written for Sarah Bernhardt by the otherwise largely forgotten French dramatist Victorien Sardou.

First fashions appeared on humans 170,000 years ago

Models present creations by British designer John Galliano as part of his Spring/Summer 2011 women's collection during Paris Fashion Week on October 3, 2010.

 

Fashion followers around the planet are quivering with excitement over upcoming shows in New York, Paris and L.A., where models will walk the runway wearing feathers, fake furs and a galaxy of clothing that runs the gamut from the sublime to the absurd.
If you have ever wondered how clothing started, the University of Florida says it has found the origins of fashion far, far away in the mists of time.
According to new research from the school, a study of the evolution of lice shows modern humans first began wearing clothing about 170,000 years ago.
David Reed, associate curator of mammals at the Florida Museum of Natural History, on the UF campus, studies lice in modern humans to try to understand human evolution and how that translates into migration patterns. His latest study looked at how clothing lice first began to diverge from human head lice.
"We wanted to find another method for pinpointing when humans might have first started wearing clothing," Reed said in a news release. "Because they are so well adapted to clothing, we know that body lice or clothing lice almost certainly didn't exist until clothing came about in humans."
According to Reed's data, humans first put on shirts and such about 70,000 years before migrating out of Africa into colder climates. That trek northward began about 100,000 years ago.
That fur and leather number that Raquel Welch donned for One Million Years B.C., was way ahead of its time, according to the study which says the lice tell the true tale. Reed says the date of the first fashions would be virtually impossible to determine using archaeological data because early clothing would not survive in archaeological sites.
The study also shows humans started thinking about clothing long after they lost all that body hair they were sporting in the early days. What that means is that humans were hanging around naked for a considerable period of time until the Coco Chanel of the day came up with the equivalent of a pair of balloon pants and a halter top.
"It's interesting to think humans were able to survive in Africa for hundreds of thousands of years without clothing and without body hair, and that it wasn't until they had clothing that modern humans were then moving out of Africa into other parts of the world," Reed said.
He adds that lice are studied because they are on their hosts for long periods of evolutionary time. This icky relationship allows the scientists to learn about evolutionary changes to the host humans based on changes to the parasite.
"The . . . result from this lice study is an unexpectedly early date for clothing, much older than the earliest solid archaeological evidence, but it makes sense," said Ian Gilligan, a lecturer in the School of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Australian National University. "It means modern humans probably started wearing clothes on a regular basis to keep warm when they were first exposed to Ice Age conditions," Gilligan said.
The last Ice Age occurred about 120,000 years ago, Gilligan said, but the study's date suggests humans started wearing clothes in the preceding Ice Age 180,000 years ago.
So, the next time you are looking at a cashmere sweater on the runway in New York, or a space age wrap on the catwalk in Paris, you can thank your ancestors from way back when who first figured out it might be better to cover up a few of the fleshy parts or lose them to frostbite.

Ukrainian pastry chef fashions wedding gown for his bride out of cream puffs

Baker Valentyn Shtefano and his bride Viktoriya show off her wedding gown, which Shtefano made out of flour, eggs, sugar and caramel in the western Ukrainian city of Uzhhorod. The edible dress, made of 1,500 cream puffs and weighing in at 20 pounds (9 kilograms), took the 28-year-old baker two months to make
UZHHOROD, Ukraine -- Valentyn Shtefano's pastries were known for attracting stares and giggles as well as lip-smacking murmurs. But even his fiancee was surprised when Shtefano told her he was making her wedding dress -- out of flour, eggs, sugar and caramel.
The dress -- made of 1,500 cream puffs and weighing 20 pounds -- took the 28-year-old baker two months to make, and by the end of the wedding reception, bride Viktoriya said she didn't want to take it off.
Shtefano is a rising star in the field of baking as visual art, earning him a following in this city near the border with Slovakia. His creations have generated a buzz in a place where cake is often layers of heavy cream, wafers and nuts or poppy seeds -- more something to eat than to look at.
"At first glance, it's really a surprise. I didn't even believe it was a cake," said Olha Nemyataya, who sampled some of Shtefano's new deserts. "Nowhere in Uzhhorod have I seen things like this."
Shtefano, whose fingernails are stained with food coloring, is eager to introduce new sweets to this city of 125,000, which has a center full of new businesses and cafes but is otherwise dominated by gray Soviet-era apartment buildings.
He got his first job as a baker six years ago. Last year, he took a three-month baking course in Paris and entered an international baking competition with his sister. They made a 2-foot-long 1920s-era Cadillac from cream puffs and caramel, and took third place.
Some of Shtefano's cakes are strictly for mature audiences, like a pair of breasts on display at a pizzeria where his goods are sold. But he also created an elaborate Easter cake that drew hundreds to a cathedral. It was a black and gold globe hatching from an Easter egg, with pieces of eggshell on top of the globe and falling off to the side. It was too pretty to eat.
His biggest challenge was the wedding dress cake. At first, he sewed empty cream puffs together, but the dress collapsed. Then, he carefully attached the puffs to a wedding dress frame, and Viktoriya spent a couple hours each night before the wedding modeling the dress as Shtefano added more puffs. Her crown, bouquet and necklace were made from caramelized sugar.
"At first, it was even a little embarrassing," Viktoriya Shtefano said of the dress she wore to the couple's reception in August at Uzhhorod's 1,200-year-old castle. "Cameras, interviews, but after a couple of hours, I didn't even want to take it off."
The baker hopes to someday open a business with his sister in Ukraine, believing there's more room for skillful bakers here than in Paris. "Here you can buy jobs," he said. "You want to be president, governor, (parliament) deputy, OK.
"But my job you can't buy -- you have to do it."
