With
more and more galas these days, don't you find
it difficult to choose from all the different fashions
worn by all the starlets? The different fashion
designers have, in addition to a more leisurely
style designed to match a more comfortable and
relaxed lifestyle that conforms to a contemporary
pursuit of leisure, also emphasized formal eveningwear,
responding to the requirements of different kinds
of evening parties. These events help us keep abreast
of high fashion!
What's
in this season? Is it oriental? Punk? Soft? Or
even classical? The Grammies, Oscars, and award
ceremonies held in Hong Kong and Taiwan offer a
feast for your eyes, giving the media opportunities
to pick this year's most popular designers and
names. The most memorable ceremony is the 71st
Academy Awards with Nicole Kidmann wearing the
Asian-inspired chartreuse gown. With this unique
glimpse of Asian style, Nicole Kidman became one
of the more stylish figures in the fashion-world.
The collaboration of fashion houses and big name
performers benefits both sides of the relationship,
giving them prominence and leaving us to wait and
see what will be revealed next.
Taipei,
Shanghai, Hong Kong are lit up by different galas,
including champagne parties, showcases for the
latest designs, jewelry exhibits, or even the opening
for the latest lounge bar. Have you prepared for
the most exciting parties found in today's social
functions? The abundance of different brands makes
choosing your own style and flavor a pain. A few
years go in Taiwan the taste and enthusiasm in
events did not come close to Hong Kong's. But now
all the big labels can be found in the Taiwanese
market, causing a thriving local fashion scene.
We can now see who are the darlings of the fashion
world and who is now the hot topic. In recent year's
Celine's Karen Mok line has made quite a stir--all
of us are waiting in anticipation for the next
collaboration.
There
are numerous classic brand names giving new names
a start, such as Galliano's Christian Dior, Karl
Lagerfeld's Chanel, Christopher Bailey's Burberry
Prosum, and even Tom Ford who is leaving Gucci.
Instead of continuing traditional fashion lines,
designers from these fashion houses have broken
from tradition and decided to create new and innovative
styles. They put out brave new designs, using cutting
edge style, meticulous tailoring and the bold use
of colors, for all to see, giving us great offerings
from the fashion world and challenging and spurring
on our thoughts about fashion.
Sometimes
it seems that the well-know names in the fashion
world are the only choice. European independent
designers however have always attracted me, and
so I suggest Italian or London street fashion.
They are the best choices for not only bringing
out your own individual characteristics, but also
for not hurting you in the pocketbook!
