Dressing up on a budget


Dressing up on a budget
It was my first trip here and what did I do? Not the Getty, not Walt Disney Concert Hall, not Hollywood. I went shopping.

Sprawling over 43 miles of San Pedro Bay, the Port of Los Angeles has the highest shipping container throughput in the country, and women’s apparel ranks among the top five goods landed there. It’s a material world, and I was a material girl with a half-empty suitcase to fill.

“LA is where many retail trends originate,’’ says resident Christine Silvestri, whose publishing career (and wardrobe) took a turn for the exciting when she switched to fashion and founded Urban Shopping Adventures. When budget is no barrier, Silvestri takes shoppers to Melrose Place at the west end of Melrose Avenue, where the stores are in the Diane von Furstenberg and Fred Segal stratosphere. Segal in particular is a lightning rod for hot new designers.
Between Beverly and West 3d, Robertson Boulevard was an off-the-radar fashion mecca for celebrities that has become a paparazzi stakeout. Kitson is its re tail god, with Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Lisa Kline, and European stores like Odd Molly on two densely packed blocks. Shoppers lunch under the market umbrellas of The Ivy, the see-and-be-seen restaurant where sightings have ranged from Dustin Hoffman to Lindsay Lohan’s car wreck.

But aspirational shoppers — you want the look but cannot pay $400 for a halter dress — should head to LA’s Fashion District. Bounded by 7th, Spring, and San Pedro streets and the Santa Monica Freeway, the area pulses with wholesale and retail merchants covering 100 city blocks. At its heart are three wholesale towers, California Market Center, Cooper Design Space, and New Mart, whose showrooms open to the public on the last Friday of the month. (California Market Center has retail stores on its lobby level. Shooz, the district’s best shoe retailer, and The Fashion Bookstore, with the world’s widest collection of couture-related reading, are here.) Time it right, and you can buy samples of limited-run, beautifully made clothes by BCBG Max Azria or Rory Beca that sell at stores like Fred Segal for hundreds of dollars more.

Early spring Asian fashion street shoot of women handbags

Early spring Asian fashion street shoot of women handbags
During Paris fashion week, appreciate dress editors dressed in brightly and seductive fashionable from each big fashionable media, continuously live coverage from the phones emit. A friend told me to write about Paris fashion week street Japanese fashion bags. Actually I am a faraway onlooker, which have no immersive true feeling. So I start to say from the side of a onlooker.

Mention street shooting, I still have to repeat a few words. Because the mobile phone and Internet technology is developing rapidly, street shooting has become the important factor that influence
the public and fashion. Where there is fashion persons appeared, where there is camera crack. Beautiful photos spread around the world in a moment. Netizens sitting in front of the computer, or praise, or rebuke, or comment, or learn.

But, fashion week street shooting is different from street shooting in ordinary days. This difference is bag's status. Normally women will choose classic and low-key plus size clothing when go to work or travel, shoes also won't be too conspicuous, mainly reflect individual character by handbags, so bag is often the lightspot of total body. And when visit fashion week, there mainly are four types of people - the medias, buyers, models and Distinguished personages. To these people, fashion dress is work, dressing is working, so never low-key and vague. Their costume, often clothes is the largest watching focus, shoes second and bag back to third.

On show field, the largest number is probably fashion medias. There are some friends in the fashion industry tell me that watch whose show will take whose bag, otherwise will be too impolite. If one day you should go to several shows and have no time to change bag, then take a Chanel 2.55, brand public relations is unlikely to be angry.

Models leaving the show stage, are also called "model off-duty", are the most "simple" group of all people. On show stage wear tiredly, very anxious to batch a sack piece on the streets. The models with tall figure good, like androgynous style that ordinary people can't hold on. mostly Models' bags are black and big.

Distinguished personages and Asian fashion designers are each other's appearance. The more Distinguished personages coming, the more honor designers will gain. Conversely, the more famous designers are, the more honor Distinguished personages will gain. Distinguished personages will normally be strictly observed with the principle that watch whose show take whose bag.

Buyers are the most "low-key". To them, fashion week means the high strength work. In addition to go to see the show, they also have to go to the designer studio, often a day has more than ten arrangement. Normally Buyers are a little older, and looks and figure are also not too good, so they don't attract photographer's cameras, street shooting pictures are very less, but there are also exceptions.

These tasks can be really tough for your guests, however at the same time, it will offer them the true spirit of Halloween.

You can also experiment by asking your guests to show up in red and black dresses rather than having them dress up in the same, boring outfits.
