FASHION - Home decor never looked so haute. Home décor company Korhani has turned its decorative carpets into haute couture at Toronto's Fashion Week Monday this week. The manufacturer based in Toronto and creative director Kirsten Korhani repurposed its rugs for the runway, showing off Mongolian rug inspired capes, studded pants and regal looking gowns all using a rug as a central part of the design. This is actually the third time the company has pulled this publicity stunt, but it is still eye-catching. “We’re trying to evolve, make it better, make it more interesting,” says Kirsten Korhani. “We have to step it up every season.” Korhani says the new collection has a wider selection of garments with “more diversification” in style and construction. In the past Korhani’s off-beat shows have raised the company’s profile, so it just proves fashion can also be good publicity. And since their designs keep improving and getting attention it proves people don't get bored of it eith...

Observe the fashion of photography... EXAMPLE #1: THE BAD GIRL EXAMPLE #2: A BLONDE IN A BIKINI EXAMPLE #3: THE BROODING MISFIT EXAMPLE #4: THE PLAIN JANE EXAMPLE #5: THE ARTSY TYPE Now you may be getting the point... photographers and models are chosen to convey specific stereotypical looks for different fashion products. The goal in the end product (advertising) is to get the viewer to identify with the woman in the photo and want to be more like that... And then run out and buy jeans, jewelry or whatever they happen to be selling. Often they will throw in a semi-shaved ruggedly good looking male model in a clear effort to say... "Buy this and you will get a handsome man!" And it works very easily because people are basically stupid and fall for it even when they know they're being pitched advertising.

FASHION - Because pretty dresses and masquerade masks will ALWAYS be chic and kewl.

FASHION - Found this one on Etsy. Its a raven mask cut out of black leather... but I ask you, couldn't it be made out of this something other than leather? Faux leather at least. Cloth? The designer cuts it out of 5-6 oz tanned leather, then hand shapes it while wet to fit a face. Once dry she paints it black and seals it with an acrylic finish. Because of all the cut outs it weighs just 1½ ounces, which means it will be comfortable to wear for extended periods. Comes with an adjustable double strand of elastic. But come on, use something other than leather. And its so easy to make anyone could make it. Even my idiotic ex could do it.

FASHION - Whoa, talk about a fashion statement. According to the jewelry designer's website this Necklace "Is an Accurate Representation of Semen"... meaning male ejaculate... Wow. And they're $600 USD each. Handmade by designer Leah Piepgras. Wow, some people will just walk all over all the strives made by feminists just to make a quick buck off the kind of women who would actually buy such things. (Jewelry for skanks.)

ART HISTORY - Isn't photography awesome??? Here is some kewl art made using nothing more than makeup and a digital camera and lighting. Eyeliner art rocks!

FASHION - The intense competition in the fashion industry makes it important for any fashion designer to showcase the designs to a larger audience. This can be done by creating fashion sketches and displaying them on the Internet. The sketches give an insight to the fashion fraternity and also to the common audience on the concept behind a particular fashion design. It is a way of communicating the theme to the people associated with the apparel industry. Hence, they are extremely important for any fashion designer. Fashion sketches are illustrations made by professional artists and designed in a way that they can be easily displayed on the Internet. They portray the true creative genius of the designer. These can be considered a blue print of the final product. The perfection in making sketches is a prerequisite as they serve as the main marketing tool of the fashion professionals. The sketches reflect trends and the value added features of the design. They can also be used to evalua...
