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.

Brynne to design dramatic fashions

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.

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.

Oscar Fashion 2011


OK, no surprise that Halle Berry rocked this dress. She is Halle Berry after all. But the Marchesa gown was absolutely ethereal and had such softness that it made this over 40 stunner look even more gorgeous than usual.
Doesn't matter if it is Valentino: the nude color is a wash-out on Florence Welch.



Gwyneth Paltrow may have an iffy career as a country singer, but her position as a fashion icon was safely sealed in a dress (and hair) that was reminiscent of how she looked in the '90s: a cool, minimal metallic Calvin Klein dress and stick-straight hair.
From the lovely lilac color to the lace-trimmed bodice, this lingerie-inspired gown by Elie Saab on Mila Kunis was a refreshing change of pace from the usual red carpet fare.
She may have won an Oscar, but Melissa Leo isn't going to win any fashion cred with this weird mirrored dress from Marc Bouwer.

Although other hues like nude tried to take over the red carpet at the 2011 Oscars, the dress color of the evening was definitely red. Jennifer Hudson wore her tangerine Versace gown (that showed off her smashing new figure) with purple shoes, while Sandra Bullock wore a strapless red Vera Wang gown (one of her best red carpet looks in recent seasons.) Presenter Anne Hathaway entered with a dramatic red gown from Valentino and newbie Jennifer Lawrence showed how to wear red the new way: minimally, in Calvin Klein.
How to make lovely Scarlett Johansson look a mess on the red carpet? Take a flat-colored, amethyst lace dress from Dolce & Gabbana and pair it with messy bed head. Forget the fact that colored lace (as opposed to neutral black or cream) is almost always a bad idea, the color blended with the red (more like fuchsia!) carpet and it made her look drab.
Everything about Michelle Williams was classic and elegant, from her short platinum hair to her sleek, short-sleeve Chanel dress. While other actresses went with elaborate beaded gowns, this simple beaded dress in a soft neutral was absolutely flawless and fit her style perfectly.
As stunning as Cate Blanchett is, the avant garde Givenchy gown smacked a bit too much of gladiator armor (although the colors were lovely.) Kudos for taking a risk, but this beaded dress was a bit too funky for the Oscars.
From her tank-style red Calvin Klein dress to her soft, natural waves and makeup, Jennifer Lawrence was the picture of modern elegance. She completed her minimal outfit with simple, toned-down earrings and bracelet.

Although she commented on the red carpet that she loved the structure of this Dior gown, Nicole Kidman's dress was something of a structural disaster, with entirely too much going on (in all the wrong places.
From her lovely retro hair to her timeless Armani gown, Reese Witherspoon's Oscar look seems like a a nod (in a good way!

Fashion Trends

SUMMER STYLE.



We’ve been busy scouring catwalks in order for you to find the best direction for your hair in when it comes to Spring/Summer trends of 2011.
So far we’ve established that when it comes to long hair, it should be loose, free, natural and parted in the centre; flawless symmetry is back again. The thing about the natural look is that it basically means you can do what you like. Hair can be worn straight, wavy or curly. Loose beachy curls are best teamed with sun-kissed highlights. All these looks are super feminine and perfect for summertime stylers are great when it comes to achieving natural looks because their rounded barrel means they glide through hair effortlessly no matter how you are styling it, so you are never left with any unnatural looking kinks.
You can glam up any of these looks simply by making your curls a bit tighter or fuller or simply parting your hair to the side.
Ponytails this year should be two things – low and braided. For on trend daily up dos just tie your hair at the back of your neck. If you don’t want a ponytail then keep it low, but tie hair into a messy bun instead. This works for shorter hair lengths as well.
For shorter hair lengths 2011 is all about the tussled look. Messy wavy hair will be a big hit particular in the hotter months, just a few flicks of a ghd styler will help you achieve easy waves in your hair. Finish with a sea salt spray for extra beachiness. The less time you spend on your hair, the more natural it will look, it’s quick and easy and will look effortlessly chic.
