celebrity super fashion

What a superhero wears does matter. To be a superhero, you have to be strong, have some special abilities, an understanding of justice, and of course you should definitely have a good costume. Creators of superheros surely spent pretty much time and energy on designing what they wore and then they all became symbols of our fantasy world.

'Fashion not only shares the superhero’s metaphoric malleability, but actually embraces and responds to the particular metaphors that the superhero represents, notably that of the power of transformation. Fashion celebrates metamorphosis, providing unlimited opportunities to remake and reshape the flesh and the self. Through fashion and the superhero, we gain the freedom to fantasize, to escape the banal, the ordinary, and the quotidian. ' (via http://www.metmuseum.org/special/superheroes/)

Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art "Superheroes:Fashion and Fantasy", picks ensembles from runways, movies and sports arenas that were related to original superhero costumes. As well as showing the influence of superhero costumes in fashion, this exhibition also explores the cultural effects of these characters: How does a costume change not only the look but also the identity of anyone wearing these futuristic and strong looking suits by means of empowering and transforming the wearer to a hero ?

Running trough September 1st, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, made possible by Giorgio Armani as well as Julia Roberts and George Clooney, is worth visiting if you're in town, to see the original costumes from "Iron Man", "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" as well as seeing fashion legends like Giorgio Armani, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, and many others taking the idea of what a superhero looks like, stands for and fights for to transform it into their catwalks.

what's oil price got to do with style?!

Crude Jewelry collection by Design Glut is manufactured in monthly batches. Date and the price of a barrel of oil is engraved on the piece each day it is manufactured. The aim of the collection is reminding us that the oil will be a good old friend that we will be remembering with a nostalgia since it will soon be a thing of the past. Surely, based on the oil prices luxury might be redefined again soon. Economists assume that oil will reach $150-$200 a barrel by Christmas and continue rising steadily.

If the increases keep on the current trend, we all might have to change our life styles. Increase of the oil price means a global inflation. However it leads societies and governments to search for alternative energies such as wind and solar power which supports the current green movement. We see that more and more end users are now environmentally conscious as well as being stylish. This new trend already created its own fashion and green has already been the new black.

As seeking the alternative energies, more people will be looking for alternative ways of transportation because of the fact that it will be more and more expensive to run car every year since the trend seems to be a relatively consistent curve.

My question is will paying for the labor cost in near cities be preferable to shipping them from Far East because of the high transporting costs? Will it create a new global trend?

With oil prices changing such frequently, will Design Glut be able to follow the trend and be fast enough to apply the new price on its collection?

a colorful world for feet

Ads of Havaianas are just as colorful as their flip flops. As a person who loves colors, I just loved these illustrations. Good art direction for a summer product since it's as lively and cheerful as season itself. I also liked the catchwords; my favorite is :" Do you know what's the end of the rainbow? Your toes." Has rainbow ever, ever been such near even when it doesn't rain?:-)

"Now you'll see a happier world, even when your head is hanging low. "

"Your feet in heaven:semi-naked, surrounded with colors."

"Do you know what's the end of the world? Your toes."

"Introducing color theraphy for your feet."

Look! Hippies are coming...

The Hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the early 1960s and spread around the world.Hippies sought to free themselves from societal restrictions, choose their own ways, and find new meanings in life. One expression of hippie independence from societal norms was found in their standard of dress and grooming, which made hippies instantly recognizable to one another, and served as a visual symbol of their respect for individual rights.

Hippie style is back in summer 2008. We can see floral prints, bell bottom jeans, wide leather belt,halter top,headband with flower,peace symbol on the clothes.

And leather sandals will be everywhere...for this style comfot is most important thing...

Best Green Bags

Attempts to give lower impact on earth lead designers and brands to create sustainable products which are made of either recycled or organic materials. Integration of style and social responsibilities for today and future has been the number one consideration of fashionistas. Second Annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards by handbagdesigner101.com has a category called “Best Green Handbag”, too. Finalists with slick styles were selected by the judges will be in competition to be the “Best Green Handbag” of the year. This trend to use the wastes in a fashionable way and to reduce the landfill is promising for future and should definitely be supported.
