What does the choice of the clothe you wear, and your fashion accessory say about you?

Wearing clothe is a given, but we often do not stop to think about what kind of message we send to others through the choice of clothes we wear and our fashion accessories. Our clothing outfits and fashion accessories are some of the non-verbal ways we communicate to others about ourselves; who we are, our self-worth and our level of self-confidence. Often, when choosing the clothes to wear, we simple think of how we look in such clothing outfit, with hope of making impression on others. We often do not consider the appropriateness of the outfit for the event or occasion we are attending.

Different occasion or events call for different types of clothing, also the style of the clothes. When we fail to wear appropriate clothing outfit or appropriate clothing style we end up embarrassing ourselves, diminish our self-worth which in turn lowers our self-confidence.

Often people wear what they think looks good on them without considering the appropriateness of the clothing or its style for the occasion or event. A case of inappropriate choice of outfit that spark outage and condemnation on social media was the small above the knee black dress Ariana Grande wore to Aretha Franklin’s funeral. Small short black dress in itself is not bad, but the event to which it is worn to, is the reason for the outrage. Does a short black dress befit a funeral ceremony? There is a consensus in social media that, a short above the knee dress is inappropriate for a funeral ceremony. Though many of commentators in social media made it seem as if it is only in black Churches that short dresses are considered inappropriate. The question is; are short dresses appropriate for any place of worship be it a black Church or otherwise? It is important to realize that we speak volumes simply by what we wear. Places of worship, more so a funeral ceremony calls for decency, modesty and decorum. Failure to wear what is generally considered modest and descent is seen as being disrespectful. It is not only short dresses that are considered inappropriate and immodest in places of worship, but dresses that are too tight as to reveal the contour of the wearer. Sleeveless or string sleeve dresses are also considered inappropriate for religious gatherings.

If short dresses are inappropriate for religious gatherings and celebrations, what kind of dresses or clothes should people wear to such gathering? Clothes that befit religious gatherings are none revealing long dresses, they can be full length or just below the knee. Often many conservative women like to wear suits to the Church, it can be two-piece dress suit or three-piece skirt suit. It can be either full length or three-quarter length long.

The next question is, if short dresses are inappropriate for religious ceremonies, what kind of event or occasion can anyone wear short dress to? Short dresses can be worn to cocktail parties or any none religious social gatherings. They can be worn as evening dresses or even simple casual wears. Every type of clothing and accessory have their appropriate place. Simple, give a little thought to your choice of outfits. When choosing clothing outfits for any event, ask yourself how appropriate the clothe and its style is before stepping out of your front door. Be sure it is not a clothing outfit or style for which people will raise eyebrow or frown at. Take care to consider the occasion or event and make wise choices for your clothes and its style.

Animal fur is one of the high-priced raw material used in the production of high-end fashion products. The material has been used since time immemorial in human clothing. In recent times, inhuman practices in the fashion industry have come to the forefront including the perceived cruelty to animals and the unethical rearing of animals for the production of fur.

Animal fur in fashion and the growing consciousness

According to many animal rights’ associations, nearly one billion rabbits, 4 million foxes and 50 million minks are bred and killed for the sole purpose of producing fur from these animals. Both the breeding, rearing and killing practices have been labelled as inhuman and barbaric by most activists around the world. China has been the largest exporter of animal fur in the world and widely criticized for its alleged unethical killing of animals including cats and dogs.

Animal fur has remained in popular culture and fashion; especially, in its usage as a luxury textile. It is considered as a symbol of social and economic status because of its cost and rarity.

However, with the turn of the century, a lot of impetus is being laid on the production of ethical and conscious clothing sans the cruelty to animals on moral and ethical grounds for the sake of fashion.

After years of protests against the rampant use of animal fur in fashion, many animal rights activists have finally found some relief as many high-end fashion brands have gone fur-free. The move has been welcomed by authorities, activists, fashion industries and the general masses alike. Some of the leading names in fashion retail that have gone fur-free include Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci.

Recent trends in the fur-free fashion revolution

Michael Kors, along with Jimmy Choo, is the most recent fashion brand to adopt a no-fur policy. Net-a-Porter is a popular luxury online shopping portal that has announced a no-fur policy across all of its e-commerce platforms.

A considerable work in this regard has been done by various animal welfare groups across the world. These include Born Free USA, part of the Fur Free Alliance, PETA and others.

One of the best examples of fur-free fashion is the popular London Fashion Week that welcomed fur-less fashion on its catwalk ramps. The event boasted of 86 percent of its shows to have featured completely fur-free fashion.

British designer-activist Stella McCartney’s introduced her fur-alternative label ‘Fur Free Fur’ featuring long-haired coats at the prestigious Paris Fashion Week.

The Road Ahead…

In spite of the efforts by animal welfare groups around the globe and fashion brands and retailers joining hands to fight the menace, a lot of work remains to be done in this regard. There are still many fashion retail brands who identify themselves with the prolific use of real fur in their products. The likes of Fendi, Dior, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Canada Goose and Karl Lagerfeld further need to reevaluate their stance on the matter.

Human fabrics have been evolving and fashion takes the baton forward in bringing new trends and innovations in the industry. The use of alternative fur is one of the champion alternatives, pioneered by Stella McCartney. Therefore, fur-free designs are here to stay and it’s high time that luxury fashion brands embrace ethical fashion for good!

Overview

The Chinese economy continues its dynamic performance, averaging around 10% growth for the last 5 years. As barriers to entry are reduced, more and more businesses are considering their entry into China. This is in an effort to capture some percentage of the returns generated by China’s 1.3 billion consumers.

This series of reports is intended to provide fashion retailers, who are planning to enter China for the first time, with an overview of the Chinese fashion industry. In addition, the reports act as a quick update for companies who have already entered China as it touches on the industry, trends, brands available, wholesale and retail pricing, type of clothing cutting preferred, consumer behavior and updated regulations. A key challenge when entering China is the different regions in China. Consumer behaviour and preferences for food, fashion and lifestyle vary dramatically in these regions. For example, retailers should not assume that products or Fashion styles that sell in Shanghai will also be popular in Xiamen which is in southern China.

Economic Conditions in China

China’s economy grew by 10.2% in 2005 and 10.7% in 2006 making it the fastest growing major economy in the world. It is forecasted by the banks (Quarterly Bank reports) that GDP would drop to 8% in China in 2007. (Goldman Sachs), though in our opinion GDP rate may be higher due to increased production and consumption. In 2006 China’s urban living expenditure increased at a higher rate than GDP, both on a national as well as provincial basis. Despite strong growth, inflation remains moderate with monthly inflation averaging 1.3% year on year from January to September 2006. It is forecasted that annual growth in consumer prices will reach 1.8% in the early 2007. This is because higher land prices would impact production costs. Increased investment would in turn feed inflationary pressures.

The government’s tolerance of greater Yuan volatility and the higher GDP has caused expectations of further exchange rate reform, which would result in faster currency appreciation. The potential impact would be that foreign clothing brands would find that their prices could be more readily accepted in the Chinese market.

Retail Industry in China

Increasing income in China and Government efforts in encouraging consumer expenditure have resulted in rising domestic consumption. Statistics show that total retails sales of consumer goods increased by 12.5% to RMB 6,718 billion in 2005. However, it drops slightly to approximately RMB 6,400 billion (US$770b) in 2006. One of the factors is the import quota imposed by US and European Union in 2006 (O&L). However, with the increase in income and domestic consumption, it is expected that the growth rate of retail sales can be maintained at about 10% in the next 5 years (O&L projection & Goldman Sachs Global Investment Report)

China’s clothing market has been growing at 7% and is now a USD40 billion industry. Department stores account for approximately 40% of the market. This includes stores like Parkson, Shanghai Bailian and foreign brands like Wal-Mart. Clothing brands sold in these department stores include both international brands like Hugo Boss and local brands like Li Ning, Borne, Joe One. Franchise chains and local individual clothing outlets in China account for the other 60% share.

Profit Margins for retail chains in China are high. Due to the lower costs of manufacturing in China, profit margins by these Clothing brands can be as high as 50.5% for brands like Giordano (2005) and Ports(70.4% in 2005) . The cities of influence for fashion in China are Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. In addition locals and tourists travel to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen for major fashion brands at cheaper prices. For manufacturing, there are different specialty regions. For example, Ningbo is more famous for manufacturing of bags while Guangdong especially Guangzhou is more famous for apparels.

The Different Regions in China

Due to the geographical enormity of China and the huge variation of economic development between cities, market potential differs from city to city. The table below shows the disparity in GDP per capita, where the wealth is located in the coastal cities. Cities are classified into tiers based on population and per capita GDP, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou are tier 1 cities. Report 3 explores in detail regional differences in the Chinese fashion industry.

Fashion Industry in China

Market Segments

Initially there were two markets for apparel in China:

1. low priced basic apparel sold under local brand names and offered in Chinese department stores, foreign hypermarkets or small family owned specialty chains

2. luxury brands sold either in franchised boutiques or upscale department stores.

Due to the rapid growth of China’s middle class a new category has emerged, involving quality brands, both Chinese and foreign, being sold in department stores and specialty stores. Consumers in China’s middle class are increasingly sophisticated, demanding higher quality, variety and innovation from their retailers. The new category is highly fragmented and is dominated by specialty casual brands from Hong Kong, such as Esprit (514 outlets), Giordano (644) outlets, Baleno (980 outlets) and Glorious Sun (1,076 outlets). The new segment has significant growth potential as it is affordable to the middle class but positioned at a price point slightly higher than local brands. Prices in Clothing have dropped slightly in 2006. This is due to the increased competition in the fashion industry in China (O&L, 2006).

In recent years there are not only an increase of Hong Kong, local Chinese clothing brands and international brands but also an increase of foreign brands. These brands may be mid sized chains that are well established in their home countries but not out of their countries. Example Singaporean chains like Samuel and Kevin. In addition, there are brands that are created due to the popularity of other brands. Example the clothing brand, Fish, in China has spawned other similar brands like 3 Fishes, Fishes and so on.

Expansion into Second Tier Cities

The retail market is beginning to reach maturity in Tier 1 cities like Shanghai. Thus the need to accurately target specific consumer groups is much more significant in these areas. As a result retailers are increasingly expanding into second and third tier cities like Chengdu, Nanping, Tianjin. Major Brands like Jean West has now gone to secondary and third tiered cities as well. The attractiveness of these secondary regions is enhanced by the migration from the countryside to the regional cities, increasing the size of the second and third tier urban retail market. This would be elaborated in subsequent reports.

Consumer Attitudes towards Brands

Consumers are highly brand conscious and the fact that one can afford these products is seen as a status symbol. Luxury brands like LV, Christian Dior, are therefore often sought after when purchasing apparel and cosmetics. For many segments, particularly younger consumers, foreign brands that are well known are still regarded as superior and are seen as a status symbol. Brands that are made in US and Europe are more highly valued than those from Australia, or other Asian countries like Singapore, Taiwan. Due to the high prices, there are also a lot of high end counterfeit clothing and shoe brands in China.

Attitudes to domestic brands have changed as stated owned companies have been privatized and produce better quality products. Brands like Borne, Li Ning, Hong guo are very popular locally. Hong Kong brands like Giordano are also popular though the market share has decreased recently. Pride in the nation’s accomplishments has resulted in many consumers preferring local brands, all other things being equal. These would be further elaborated in subsequent reports

Consumer Attitudes towards Price

Although Chinese consumers are price sensitive, a recent survey shows that consumers are increasingly concerned about product quality and customer service, particularly with respect to apparel. Accordingly these elements should be emphasized in advertising and promotional material.

Nowadays, competition is quite stiff in the world of fashion designing. At the same time, this industry is generating a lot of revenue. For the same reason, fashion designing is a lucrative career for students who are creative. If you have a creative mindset, you can enjoy a lot of job opportunities in this field. In this article, we are going to share with you a few tips that will help you go for the best course. This course will help you become a good designer.

5. Accreditation

Accreditation represents the value of your diploma and degree courses. Ideally, you may want to choose an institute that is accredited. These institutes are under the regulation of an authoritative institute. Therefore, you can rest assured that they will offer high-quality education. Apart from this, the degree or diploma from this type of institute carries a lot of value. So, make sure you sign up for a course at an accredited institution.

4. Teaching technique

In fashion designing, teaching technique is of paramount importance. Before you choose any institute, we suggest that you take a trial class to get a feel for the equipment and teaching techniques they use. This will help you get a better idea of whether they will meet your expectations.

3. Job placement

After you have completed your course, your next move is to consider the job placement. This allows you to improve your skills and get a better understanding of the industry. Therefore, you may want to find out if your desired Institute works with recruitment partners. If they do, they can help you with your job placement.

2. National Education Policy

According to the National Education Policy (NEP), institutes are required to add several design subjects based on skills. Besides, this policy allows you to choose a diploma or degree based on your needs amidst your current academic tenure. Basically, this policy emphasizes practical training rather than focusing on theoretical studies only. Therefore, you may want to find out if the institute you have chosen follows this policy.

1. Internships

If you join an internship program, you will have a much better understanding of the practical aspects of your fashion designing. Apart from this, the internship will help you improve your professional aptitude and open the doors to a lot of opportunities. In other words, spending time as an intern will help you gain real-life exposure and experience. As a matter of fact, hands-on learning carries a lot of importance in the world of fashion design. If the institute you have chosen offers an internship at an International Institute, this is great news.

Long story short, if you want to choose a fashion designing course, we suggest that you consider the tips given in this article. This will help you make an informed decision.

Fashion dictates what clothing and accessories that a lot of women buy and wear. Women’s shoes are a large part of the changing styles of fashion, but like most articles of clothing if you hang onto the women’s shoes for long enough they will come back into style.

Women’s shoes are generally fashionably coordinated to the outfit that the lady is wearing. This has always been true and will always be true. The height of the heel, the shape of the toes, and the thickness of the heels are the main characteristics that change with the whims of the fashion world.

Women’s shoes were once made more like a pair of boots. These items buttoned up the sides and in order to fasten those buttons you needed to have a specialized tool. It was all the rage among the fashion industry for ladies to wear these items, and luckily these items have never returned to style after they were no longer fashionable to wear.

Heels are a fashion statement at times and they are the perfect shoe choice for most outfits. When you are in doubt of what footwear to choose you can always fall back on a selection f heels. Heels look great with jeans and they are amazing with dresses. There is something unique about a woman wearing shorts and heels and most people agree that these types of footwear make the woman walk in what is considered a more feminine manner.

Athletic footwear like sneakers have their place in the gym, when the female is out hiking, or participating in outdoor sporting activities, but when she want to make a fashion statement sneakers are not to be put on her feet. You can wear these items with jeans and shorts, but fashion dictates that you get colors and styles that match the clothing you are wearing and the activity the lady will be participating in.

Flip flops are a southern girls favorite footwear, and they are fine for the beach, a picnic, or wearing in the back yard, but you need to consider another alternative if you are going out in public. These are not fashion sandals and even if they are decorated they are still a casual item meant for casual clothing and activities.

Most women wear a lot of flats with things like jeans, shorts, and even sundresses. Fashion tells us that the ballet flats are appropriate attire with these ensembles and the age of the woman does not change the fact that they are stylish.

Whether you are someone who keeps up with fashion jewelry trends or you just want to make sure you look your best this Spring, there are some things that you should know about. Trends in the jewelry world are always changing, and there is a lot to keep up with in order to stay on top of all of them. This year if you want to have the best look, then you want to get it started right by knowing what the trends are so that you can buy the best looking jewelry. Here are a few things that you will want to make sure you know before you make your next jewelry purchase.

In the past there have been fashion jewelry trends that have made it excusable for a woman to wear a lot of jewelry to look good. However, for Spring 2011, experts are saying that less is more. That means the less jewelry you have on, the better look you will be able to create. A large part of this trend has to do with the fact that everyone is trying to cut back on everything in their life in order to have the money to buy the things they need. That means you do not have to go out and spend a ton of money on jewelry in order to look good, and you will have money for the trendy clothing that you will be wearing with your jewelry.

Another thing to take note of for fashion jewelry trends in Spring 2011 is the size of the jewels you are wearing. This year experts are telling women to leave those big jewels in their jewelry box and put on the smaller sized ones. This again falls into being conservative and is different from the trends in the past when women were wearing larger sized jewels.

These fashion jewelry trends are the ones that will be noticed this Spring. Take note that the trends will change as the season changes, so if you want to stay on top of the current trends, then make sure that you find out which jewelry you should wear for Summer, Fall, and Winter as well. If you want to be looking your best at all times, then make sure to take a look at the jewelry that is considered to be fashionable and trendy for the season that you are shopping for.

This is an area under debate at the moment and some people are clearly struggling with it. They know that plus size is popular and is a hot topic for discussion and they wish to participate and comment on the plus size market. But what is “Plus Size”, what does it mean and how do we view it?

The words “Plus Size” are used to refer to clothing for larger people, there is a wide area of debate around what is considered to be large, where does it start? Size, 10, 12, 14 or 16?. The debate then also becomes associated with health issues as many people consider that larger people are automatically unhealthy (this is untrue). The Fashion Industry is totally focused on how people look and larger people do not figure on mainstream fashion’s radar. This is regrettable as a lot of people are larger than the models generally used by the fashion industry (they are then expected to buy clothes modeled on thinner women). It is interesting that the fashion industry is associated with thinness which itself can also give rise to health issues. It seems that people (both large and thin) slightly outside the “norm” are viewed and treated differently though interestingly in certain circumstances both are perceived as being “unhealthy”

However these perceptions are being challenged somewhat because people are getting larger and what used to be considered “plus size” is now much more common than previously. Dress sizes have become larger over the years but have remained labeled as previously known as “Vanity Sizing” to make customers feel good about themselves. Typically the fashion markets are driven by designers setting trends. Their work is an art form and is displayed in an artistic manner. Ready to wear on the high street takes it’s cues from these trends although you also get designers who set their own trends for their market.

Ready to Wear is worn by much wider age and size groupings than shown on the Couture Catwalks, and a lot of the trends seen on the catwalk do not necessarily transfer well to the normal market. So while the “Plus Size” market may not be “media” popular they represent a good portion of people who shop for clothes.

The term “Plus Size” is commonly used in the USA but is less common here in the UK, it is a commonly used search term on Google but it’s not really that well used here in the UK. Media doesn’t really know how to handle it and this was never more clear when we saw the Vogue Italia cover for June 2011. It features 3 beautiful women photographed in lingerie. These women are plus size models and while it is wonderful that Vogue featured them on their cover is a shame that they felt it necessary to photograph the women semi naked and with one of them posed somewhat inappropriately.

Editor in chief Franca Sozzani launched Vogue Curvy in February and the June 2011 Cover of Vogue Italia was aimed at helping promote Vogue’s new affinity with plus size women. It is excellent that Sozzani has a launched Vogue Curvy, is this mainstream fashion recognising that there are lots of women out there who are curvy or plus size and who demand that their fashion needs and desires be catered for? On an equally positive note Sozzani is also campaigning against web sites that actively promote anorexia which the fashion industry has been blamed for encouraging in the past. So well done to her for taking an active stance on this issue. In time perhaps the fashion media will focus on fashion as opposed to the size of the individual wearing it. After all everyone has the potential to be elegant and beautiful regardless of their size.

“The Cut” blog also posted an article “No One Seems To Know What A Plus Size Model Really Is” and they featured some quotes from Madeline Figueroa-Jones editor-in-chief of Plus Model magazine. Interestingly “The Cut” featured a photograph of one of the covers from Plus Model Magazine and of all the covers they could have chosen they chose a cover with models wearing lingerie and posing provocatively. Plus Model Magazine has plenty of covers showing larger women wearing beautiful clothes. So it was a shame that both of these well travelled web sites chose to somewhat cheapen plus size women by showing them in skimpy lingerie (however well photographed).

Both Vogue and The Cut could have chosen photographs showing plus size women wearing beautiful clothes and illustrating the fact that larger women can look just as fabulous as other women and that fashion should be about fashion and not body size. Designers could also look at the world slightly differently and if they were brave they could view curvy women as presenting them with an opportunity to design clothes that flatter curves and to allow them to make a different and new fashion statement. At Vida Moda we argue that curves are required to wear clothes really well! It is part of our mission to find beautiful clothes for larger women that will flatter and make them feel and look wonderful.

According to the dictionary, the avant-garde current it is an artistic current which fights against the already known and accepted forms and traditions, suggesting a revolutionary formula. In other words, this avant-garde may be regarded as an artistic innovative movement, which came out from a spirit of negation and revolt against certain traditionalism. It has become a synonym of innovation, progress and rebellion.

In fashion, the avant-garde style is defined through its personality. Many designers have been asked to define this style and they all added a certain term to define it: sophisticated, mysterious, intimidating, intriguing, striking.The accessories have to be very modern, unusual, but elegant. All clothes should be matched with hats, belts or shoes in the most unusual shapes.

The models may intimidate because what they wear is beyond a normal image. Avant-garde fashion means a little bit of theatre. Most of the time, the clothes cannot be worn in the street because they belong to a flamboyant style. They are very innovative and can be a bit shocking. Somehow, this style does not refer only to fashion. It means a mixture between fashion and art.The avant-garde fashion teaches women to have a certain attitude.

Avant-garde clothes mean unusual ones, which catch the eye and does not let you fade in the crowd. In fact, when we discuss about avant-garde fashion, we should not talk only about clothes. In the end, the result of the avant-garde has to be a whole form. For this reason, the make-up has to go hand in hand with the clothes.

The make-up has to express something new, unexpected, and even exotic. A niche for the avant-garde style in fashion was connected to men and the items designed especially for them.

At the beginning, women were the perfect models to underline these innovative ideas. Little by little, the designers extended upon men. First of all, they wanted to surprise through their clothes, later on every little detail mattered. One example may be the boots designed especially for them. A mixture of styles, the first tendency towards rejection and then the craziness of wearing them are some of the reactions encountered.
