Modern Art influence on Fashion

The Modern Influence of Art on Fashion
Author: kingston Amadan
Fashion has enjoyed, and often later lamented, it's synergistic bond with the art world over the last century. From the Cubist motifs of Art Deco era dress to the Minimalist expression that exposed itself in clothing two decades after the movement ended, art and fashion have proven themselves to be less strange bedfellows and more passionate lovers who occasionally don't get along. Whether art or fashion serves as the catalyst is of note, as fashion driven by art is almost always inspired while the alternative brings to mind the late 70's/early 80's Patrick Nagel atrocities which still somehow manage to find wall space in the instant time warp of style deprived neighborhood hair salons everywhere.
Enter the modern era, where art defies the conventions of labeling and boundaries have been distorted to the brink of extinction. What fashion borrows from art today is anything but derivative and often direct. As the art world has expanded, so has the fashion industry. The inclusion of avant garde art into the realm of acceptability as a fashion influence has nothing to do with consumerism and everything to do with the demand for personalization of the elements that the art itself is comprised of. From social commentary to the current political landscape, passions expressed in art are finding their way into the wardrobes of the disenfranchised. What was once born in the back of the mind and realized in an artistic medium can now be worn on the back of a shirt. Never before have options for self expression been so poignant, piercing and available.
Fashion itself has served as a canvas of purpose for thousands of years. From the finely gilded armor of crusaders long deceased to the red or blue handkerchiefs that indicate gang affiliation today, fashion has expressed every sentiment known to man, yet none so convincingly as conflict. Perhaps the expressions against complacency that are evident in art are making their way into the world of fashion in preparation for another conflict of sorts, one in which individuals are railing against the societal injustices and political malfeasance of the day.

History of Italian Fashion
Author: Emily Shabina
Italian Fashion during Renaissance
The period after 11th century was development and domination of Italian fashion. The development of art was as its peak. Great Italian artists such as Leonardo da Vinci gave one of their best masterpieces. The Italian fashion was also influenced by the art during that period. Great attention was paid to the extravagant dresses. The rich merchants with large amount of money at their disposal were ready to spend lavishly on the expensive clothing. They showed their power and status by competing by dressing extravagantly. Intricate designs with complex fashions were made. Just like modern fashion, no rich tradesman would wear dresses that were out of fashion.
There was increased consumption of highly fashionable cloths with greater stress to the quality of textile cloths. The demand in high quality cloth materials led to manufacture of fine fabrics.
The fabrics worn were patterned and had extremely expensive cloth materials such velvets and brocades. The men's garments were short and wide with long robes decorated with ribbons and jewels. Richly decorated hats of different shapes matched their costumes.
The Decline of Italian Fashion
The gothic style which is simpler style became popular in Italy and influenced Italian fashion. The dominance of Spanish fashion led to decline in Italian fashion. The spotlight moved from Italian fashion for next hundreds of years. For centuries, Italian fashion faded away in the world of fashions.
The Revival of Italian Fashion
Post World War II, the Italy exported accessory fashion items and leather goods. It was effort of Florentine Businessman Giovan Battista Giorgini who attempted to bring Italy in the global fashion world.
There was revival of Italian Fashion on 25th February 1951, when Giovan Battista Giorgini held a fashion show in Florence. Giorgini keeping in mind the international audience threw an extravagant party at his villa. He had invited buyers and journalists to cover the show. The models were noble men and women who wore extravagant Italian clothes in the ballroom. Giorgini wanted to show that these expensive clothes are worn by rich influential people with ease. The fashion show became overnight success. In July 1952, Giorgini again organized a fashion show with names such as Capucci, Valentino and Armani became instant success.
Till 1970s the fashion was especially for rich and famous people. With change in time, the Italian fashion concentrated and designed cloths for common man. In 1970s to 1980s, Milan became a fashion landmark and created current trends such as blue jeans and mini skirts which were affordable for common people. The most stylish and trendy dresses were available to common man at a low price.

Starting your own Fashion Store

Starting a Fashion Clothing Store
Author: jefferson john babasa
Ever wanted to make use of you fashionizta-sort of talents to make some profits? Well then, you came to the right place. Here I'll teach you some of the basics of starting a fashion clothing store. Now why would a fashion clothing store be perfect for someone like you? Well, the only best way for you to use your talents in sensing the hottest trends in fashion is through setting up your own fashion clothing shop. Here you'll make good use of that talent of yours. And the good thing about it is that you'll have a lot of fun.
But hold on a sec! Before you go and start that business of yours, you should first know the basics of setting up a fashion clothing store.
First of all, setting up a fashion clothing store or shop doesn't only mean providing the best and the trendiest collection of clothing lines (yet it does play a major role in a fashion clothing store's success). A fashion clothing store, like any other businesses, requires good management, timely maintenance, and a strong willed heart. Without these important business minded characteristics, then your business won't run for too long. So let's begin…
The Start of the Journey
Most successful fashion clothing stores have a few things in common: competitive prices, a great selection of clothes such as a sean john clothing, a house of dereon collection, or rocawear clothes, and accessories, attractive packaging (marketing) and yes, a catchy name/brand/tag. Thinking of a name for your business is a tricky endeavor. You obviously want your patrons to remember your store, but you also want them to associate the name of the store with your merchandise. These things are important so make sure you take a note on this.
Now before you open your own fashion clothing store or fashion boutique, you may want to think about what "theme" or specialization of clothes you may want to sell. There are a lot, a few examples include: bridal or wedding boutique, business clothing boutique, casual wear/rough gear/street clothes, children's wear boutique, couture, formal wear boutique, lingerie, maternity store, men's wear boutique, special size boutiques (petites, plus size, tall, etc.,) sports wear/active wear, teen gear, women's wear boutique, etc.
Now there are two kinds of fashion clothing store or shop that you can choose from, a retail fashion store and fashion boutique. So what's the difference about it?
Well retail fashion specializes in selling new clothing products created by fashion designers which may (or may not) be dictated by celebrity trends, whereas fashion boutiques are more chic or upscale. Personalized service, cozy ambience and unique merchandise are offered here - and patrons of such places usually expect nothing less.
Now it's up to you whether you wanted to be a fashion clothing retailer or an owner of a fashion clothing boutique. Remember, choose the one you're most comfortable with. It's all in your decision.
Planning Ahead
Now before you can see your business material, its important that you should plan all the things needed for you fashion clothing store to run smoothly, without the worry of encountering too much problems at the middle of it.
Business and Financial Planning
Planning, as I said, is very important, especially if you plan about your business processes and financial capacities. Financial management is made easy because of tools such as Excel that can really help in managing your business and accounting. Software tools are also for easier management of your fashion clothing store.
Also, do not forget to include your start-up cost such as the rent for your shop, the money needed for your opening day, salaries and wages for your employees (if any), taxes, insurances, and other business miscellaneous. This is important, for much of the assets would be coming from your personal funds or savings and how much were loaned or borrowed. These things should be cleared out before opening your fashion clothing shop to minimize the chance for you to encounter such problems.
Location Planning
Another huge factor about launching your own fashion clothing store is your business location. Malls are popular places for such stores, but they do come with steep rents, and a lot of competition. Stores that sell outside such establishments may have less overhead expenses but may also have less foot traffic. Your prospective market may also be an important element in choosing your business location.
So you should ensure that the location is located in a high-traffic area and close to places such as schools, hip clubs and restaurants. Put your store inside a mall (if you have the budget for it), but avoid placing it next to another retail fashion clothing store or fashion clothing boutique. Otherwise, you would be competing with veteran fashion clothing store owners.
In order to assess competitiveness and presence, you would need to perform a market research in order to look at the demographics in the location you plan to put up your fashion clothing store. See what other fashion clothing store can provide and what they cannot provide.
Take for example, if your competitor has a large collection of house of dereon jeans and skirts but lesser with sean john clothing T-shirts and hoodies, then you should sell those sean john clothing T-shirts and hoodies rather than selling those house of dereon jeans and skirts. Well with your talent in this part, it'll be a lot easier to out-perform them.
Stock Planning
It is also important that you can provide some of the most popular branded clothing lines, such as sean john clothing, house of dereon, rocawear, or apple bottoms. You can buy this directly from the manufacturers, but you could also buy it from a distributor such as Ebay. But apart from Ebay, other online clothing shops or wholesale clothing shops can provide such things such as Streetzwear and Seven Wholesale.
Here is a short list of what you should include in your collections:
• The sean john clothing
• apple bottoms Jeans
• house of dereon
• akademiks
• rocawear
• meezan
• mizkeen
• l.e.i
• makaveli
Now this list is no means final, and can be change if you liked. These are only examples of what people commonly look for in a fashion clothing shop. You are free to choose whatever brand you like, the important thing is for you to provide what the customers wants and needs.
Price Planning
Pricing is important, as with the quality of the merchandise. Some clothing stores manage to pull off slightly higher pricing from its peers, but only because they have already established their brand names in the market. Since you are only starting or launching this business, you may want to refer to popular prices among your competitors. The quality of your merchandise should also be a great concern to you. Nothing will lose you more customers faster than poorly made clothes passed off as "fashionable" wear with very dear price tags.
Marketing Plan
Before opening your doors, it's important that people around you know that you're opening your fashion clothing store at this day and at this time. This can be done by advertising your store. Weeks or months prior to your opening day, ensure that you have mailed or distributed fliers, set up ads in the advertising section of your local newspaper, post bill-boards and flashy signs at a corner near your store. If you could, you could hire people to distribute fliers to passing people, or just seek some help from your families and friends.

Wedding Thank You Notes - Wording Samples and Etiquette
Author: Cori Russell
Yes, we all love to receive gifts, and weddings are a perfect occasion for gift-giving, as friends and loved ones customarily honor the commitment of the newly betrothed by showering them with wedding gifts. As the happy couple, just remember to always feel privileged - not entitled. Approach thank-you notes with as much thought and organization as the rest of your wedding planning process.
Rules & Etiquette -
Send thank you notes to acknowledge everything from place settings to gifts of time or talent. Remember - a separate, handwritten note must be sent for each wedding present or act of kindness. Start sending thank yous as soon as gifts arrive, even if it is before your wedding (but make sure to use your maiden name). Gifts that you receive on your big day should be followed up with a thank you note no later than one month after you return from your honeymoon (now you can use your new last name). To ease the process, keep track of wedding gifts and thank-you cards on the same list of names and addresses used for your invitations. Personalize the thank you cards by ordering them with your monogram or with a picture from your big day on the front.
What to Say - Wording Samples -
Thank you notes are written and signed by one person but should express the gratitude of both the bride and the groom. ("Mike and I sincerely appreciated...") Make direct reference to the gift itself. For monetary gifts, indicate how the money will be used; whether to mention the amount given is optional. Here are some suggested wording examples to get you started:
To a close friend or relative:
Dearest Aunt Sandy,
Thank you so much for the generous gift. As you know, John and I have been saving for a new home and your contribution will help greatly. We cannot wait to have you over for a housewarming party very soon! Thanks again for thinking of us and for sharing in our special day.
To a more distant friend, relative or business colleague:
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Lee,
Thank you so much for the lovely vase. It will go beautifully on our kitchen table, and Meghan and I will think of you each time we use it. Thanks again for sharing our joy.
To someone who could not make it to the wedding but still sent a gift:
Dear Denise & Chris,
Thank you both very much for completing our sterling place setting collection. Martin and I look forward to using it at every special dinner we host. We truly missed you both on our special day and look forward to seeing you soon.
To someone who was not invited to the wedding but sent a gift anyway:
Dear Lorie & Mike,
Thank you both so much for the thoughtful gift certificate. Amanda and I look forward to purchasing new appliances for our kitchen with it. Thanks again for thinking of us during this special time in our lives.

Studying an MA at MMU Manchester.
Fashion blog dedicated to eco green fashion news.Finding all the best sites for eco conscious philosophyI have made the decision to enrol onto an MA course some years previously while completing my teaching certification in further education at Nottingham Trent University within my CPL programme and I have found a course at Manchester Metropolitan University that fits my aspirations and desires as an Artisan and an educator within the Arts and Humanities disciplines of working practices within my needs as an Artist creator and lecturer within the disciplines of Art and Design. Of which I am still very interested in as well as my own personal practice as an Artist Artisan within the Fashion and Textiles Industry and general Art and Design Disciplines. Following on from my MA textile certification within my CPL portfolio of working practice. I would like to follow on from my MA course to a Research Course to develop my illustration techniques within the Computer aided design Soft wear packages and technical developments with the technology side of illustration and Design development. My inspirations are to apply to the Royal College of Art via the Arts and Humanity funding schemes. My aspirations are to develop from my prêt-a-porter ready to wear career and transcend into a haute couture level of product design encompassing more theoretical Art and Design influences to increase the level of design standard for my own self –reliant practitioners working practice.
The MA Textiles course at Manchester Metropolitan University" is a place to explore all aspects of textile Art in its broadest sense encompassing Art and design and craft practice"(http://www.artdes.mmu.ac.uk/textiles/ma/) gaining new knowledge using critical debate with other students from different Art and design backgrounds.

The Colour Blue
The Color Blue: What Does It Mean to You?
Author: Dylan Miles
Colors are important in our lives. They are all around us; in nature, in our homes, and in the clothes we wear. The color blue means different things on different levels. Blue is natural, practical, and symbolic. We choose to wear specific colors to say something about us. The color blue is often associated with the serenity of the sky, with a sad and depressed mood, or with the music of the Blues. Some countries, like Greece, have blue as their national color and have it on their national flag.
What does blue mean to you?
You probably associate the color blue with the blue of the sky and the ocean, and if you do, then you also associate blue with serenity and peace. It's no wonder! Blue is very much a tranquil color. In fact, it is said that the color blue produces chemicals that calm and soothe the mind and body. For this reason, blue is one of the most popular color choices for bedroom walls, and is often used to paint baby room walls.
Blue is often associated with "feeling blue" or being depressed. But studies show that the color blue inspires productivity in people. People, it is said, work better in blue rooms. And more than that, some fashion experts suggest that wearing blue to a job interview is great because blue makes a statement about loyalty. Blue creates the opposite impression of red, which is a color associated with power and passion. Fashion experts suggests wearing red to a job interview if you want to show power and strength.
Blue is also associated with the music genre, the Blues. In fact, the basic characteristic of the Blues is the "blue note", an irregular music note. The Blues are often sung about lost love and troubles, but in general blue is a positive, calming and serene presence in our lives.

Things to Remember When Buying Pearls
Things to Remember When Buying Pearls
Author: Michelle A.
Pearls never fail to exude sophistication and elegance that is why it's one of the most sought after jewelry by women. It's one of the few gems that go well with different types of outfits which makes it a good choice of investment. Back in the olden days, only aristocrats and wealthy people could afford to buy pearls. Pearls are considered to be one of the rarest gems which really made it a luxury exclusive for the rich and famous. But now, cultured pearls are now made more available to all. It's now more affordable and pearl culturization brought more types of pearls to choose from.
There may be a lot of options now but the standards of choosing a good quality pearl stays the same as it was a thousand years ago. There are six factors to remember when buying pearls namely, the pearl's luster, shape, size, color, surface texture and the thickness of the nacre. These factors would help you distinguish a good quality pearl from a fake one.
High quality pearls exudes a very brilliant sheen with a warm glow when the light reflects its delicate layers. It has been known that Akoya saltwater pearls are more lustrous that Tahitian or South Sea pearls. Tahitian and South Sea pearls tend to have a more softer brilliance than that of Akoya pearls.
Pearls could be categorized in two colors namely the light colored and the dark colored. Light colored includes pearls in the shades of white, gold and cream or off-white. On the other hand, black pearls are classified as dark colored and considered to be more precious than light colored ones.
One could determine the quality of pearls by observing its surface. Good pearls have a smooth surface and are perfectly round in shape. It has very few or no visible imperfections at all. Low quality pearls tend to have more surface imperfections such as pits and scratches.

Interior Design Trends 2010
Author: Kayla Reid
There is a concerted move by interior designers to embrace sustainable and eco-friendly options, be it in the selection of furniture or simply in the colour palette itself.
Natural hard woods, from locally grown re-afforested sources, are the dynamic watchword for the New Year. Not only is the end product durable, aesthetically pleasing, highly desirable, and, if custom-made, totally unique; it’s the simplest of ways to reduce our hefty carbon footprints on our teetering planet.
Together with sustainable naturality, eclectic choice is being punted over and above the singular styles of yesteryear. Select furnishings, fabrics and finishings of differing styles, genres and periods - items which appeal to you as an individual but which work in synergy and you’ll be on the right track.
There’s an undeniable hunger for all things classical, particularly in designer furniture. Instead of selecting modernistic, ‘new material’ pieces, go for the timeless, enduring treasures.
Carefully crafted custom made furniture is more than ever before growing in demand and stature. Apart from its exclusivity, there is a definite trend towards the appreciation of the skills of the craftsman.
The benefits of ‘custom made’ designer furniture are obvious:
• There’s simply no compromise on the size, shape or material. You select what you want, where you want it and how you want it made. Always be open to suggestions by the craftsman though, he’ll have an intimate understanding of job and material.
• You can select the style, shape and colour which enhance your existing collection. No more ‘mix and match’ scenarios.
• By participating in the design process from conception to installation, your experience should be a satisfying one.
• Finely hand-crafted pieces are generally durable and are worth every cent.
• Studies have shown good, custom built furniture and finishes can increase the overall value of your home, with an estimated return of 150% on the initial outlay.
• Finely crafted custom made furniture will appreciate in value over time.
Although wood remains first choice for both designers and Joe Public, organic or recycled and reclaimed wood furniture is also topping the designer charts this year.
Select eco-friendly furniture which doesn’t impact negatively on the environment. Second-hand furniture is one option but so too are pieces made from bamboo and other fast-growing sustainable materials.
Choose items which have not been prepared with chemicals or are made from natural materials goods – 100% Belgian Linen cushions, reclaimed Burmese Teak tables, carefully crafted leather desks or soft rabbit throws.
Whatever your design trends are this year, do it with flair but also do it with ‘planet-consciousness’!
Mufti offers bespoke furniture design services and products made from natural materials goods such as Belgian Linen cushions, reclaimed Burmese Teak fables, carefully crafted leather desks or soft rabbit throws.
