Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion refers to a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style with which a person dresses, as well as to prevailing styles in behaviour. Fashion also refers to the newest creations of textile designers.
A
group of fashion designers in Southern California are attempting to tap
into a market that, for many outside of it, might seem very
inaccessible: Muslim women.
The Los Angeles Times reports some regional clothing designers see a huge opportunity in helping women in the Muslim community dress fashionably.
In comparison to its first edition last year, Indonesia Fashion Week 2013 has something new this year. It’s The Fashion Parade!
I thought it would showcase some designers’ collections in public. As
it turned out, this was a regular fashion show on a runway with
extraordinary number of participating designers! The Fashion Parade
involved 30-33 designers in one stage, taking turns disclosing 10 looks
each! Wow, can you imagine? That’s like watching 330 looks in just one
show. Well, I must say, this wasn’t the convenient form of watching a
fashion show. Many distractions of people coming and going during the
show as they get bored or couldn’t stand sitting there for 3 hours long!
And most of the invitees came only to watch certain designers, and they
got impatient waiting for their favorite ones’ turn.
However, this was a major work, to arrange 33 designers and
330 looks into one successful show. A big round of applause to IFW
committees and all parties involved.
One blessed thing I noted from the 2nd day of Fashion Parade
which presented Muslim fashion designers, it was, in fact, a full
house! The Plenary Hall of JCC, where all the fashion shows were being
held, has the capacity of 5,000 seats. Still, it was the most packed
show of the 4 days of IFW 2013. That’s one thing to describe the
enthusiasm of an emerging market of Muslim fashion.
Anyway, the 33 designers came from different generations.
Some of them are pioneers in the Muslim fashion development, some has
risen from fashion entrepreneur, and the rest are the young emerging
fashion designers who acquired wide acknowledgement from the internet
and social media. There’s no sort of sequential order or arrangement on
casual wear, formal and party wear, and bridal.
While we have seen Ida Royani with her consistent and signature work in most Muslim fashion shows and event in the recent years, that’s not the case for Anne Rufaidah.
She is among the very first Muslim fashion designers in Indonesia, and
took an active role in striving for Muslim clothing to be embraced as a
daily wear in the formal sector. Having Anne Rufaidah back in IFW 2013
were such a blissful thing, and do look forward to her next collections
for young hijabers.
A modern woman’s obsession with shoes was very eloquently depicted in
one of my favorite TV series “Sex and The City”. Personally, I am no
exception when it comes to beautiful shoes – I want to have them all. If
you are guilty of “shoe mania” yourself, you will enjoy this article.
In this post I have gathered pictures of the trendiest shoes of the
upcoming season – right from the runways. Some of them are more wearable
than others. You may like them, you may hate them, but you cannot stay
indifferent to these pairs of designer shoes. Michael Kors Spring 2013 fashion show was abound with shoes trends;
color blocking, sheer material, pointed stilettos and heavy heels are
just to name a few. What is your pick from Michael Kors Spring 2013 collection?

The Top Colors for Women's Fashion for Spring 2013
This
season, designers overwhelmingly address consumers' desire for
self-expression, balance and the need to re-energize. The color
direction for spring builds upon these compelling needs with a palette
that mixes dynamic brights with novel neutrals to create a harmonious
balance. This allows for unique combinations that offer practicality and
versatility, but at the same time, demand attention and earn an
appreciative glance.
