MEGAN FOX for GIORGIO ARMANI

Megan Fox is the new face for Giorgio Armani Beauty 

TREND ALERT! TRON THE LEGACY in FASHION

Aside from concept and special effects, the costumes in TRON: THE LEGACY were equally amazing! Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson and Co-Costume Designer Christine Bieselin Clark are the masterminds behind the illuminated superhero and skin tight biker inspired suits.  Inspiration came from movies like Blade Runner, Resident Evil and the original Tron to set the tone. 


The movie as a whole will have a tremendous effect in fashion on so many levels that it would take pages and pages to explain how.  Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see the interpretation taken by designers ...see slideshow below for some basic upcoming trends..and of course go see the movie!

GOTTA HAVE IT

I heart all things ethnic especially with splashes of vibrant colors.

Mara Hoffman Flat Pancho Top has a fresh bohemian feel to it.  A great investment piece, something like this never goes out of style, goes with anything and is transitional with the seasons! It can be worn over leggings, corduroys, jeans, wrap a belt around it or gather it at the waist with a statement brooch...wear it w/ shorts, as a pool/beach cover up... OR AS IS like the model below... you get the idea ;)

TREND REPORT: LADY IN WHITE

All WHITE has been a huge trend since Fall 2009 continuing into Spring 2011, as seen on Alexander Wang's runway.  Recently, at their movie premiers, two of Hollywood's sexiest A-List celebrities show you don't have to be the bride to dress in white & that maybe white isn't so pure after all ;)

TREND REPORT: GO GREEN-PREVIEW


Set to hit stores in February, Chanel is flashing green, but it's not all about the Benjamins baby. Debuted on the Spring/Summer 2011 runway, Chanel introduced "Black Pearl" 513.  It's shimmer reveals a metallic teal green with a pearly finish. A great shade... trendy for the girl who lives on the edge, yet subtle for the girl who secretly lives on the edge... after all "green" is the way to go.

TREND REPORT: NAUGHTY ANGELS- VICTORIA'S SECRET 2010 FASHION SHOW

Just in time for Christimas, Santa's checking his list twice trying to find out which one of his Angel's are naughty & which ones are nice.  Why decide ? As the saying goes, "Sugar & spice makes everything nice."  This year's Victoria's Secret 2010 Fashion show offered a little something for every woman & let's just say it offered a lil' somethin' somethin' for the thousands of men who tuned in too.

Themes ranged from Country Girl & Sports, Ethereal & Victorian with influences from Alexander McQueen, Tribal & Ethnic with Middle Eastern, African, Indian, Asian, European influences, Tough Girl Glam, Warrior Princess, and nostalgic influences from the 60s, Little Red Riding Hood, Rainbow Bright, & Candy Land.  

Like all fashion shows, what comes down the runway has a big influence in reality.  Take a look at the slideshow and the captions to see where fashion is going besides in lingerie.
