The coming back of Fashion Styles

By: Alyssa Alexandra

Fashion is one of the needs of every people. It can make people more beautiful as well as affirm any one's styles. And as you may know, the fashion seems like a cycle, it can bring classical and contemporary period feature and sometimes it is combined both feature. At present, the fashion is coming back to old fashion and makes more people like it.

While fashions of today are definitely more of a combination of function while pleasing to the eye, some would think it's due to progress made in the area of fashion, and would not dare look back to our past. Reality has a way of denying what we all think. But whether you are pleased to see it happen or otherwise, we will be and are experiencing a revival of the popular fashion styles from our past. And so you see, the fashion styles of old have a way of coming back.

Now the old style is not merely clothing but also it is apparent in our accessories and even our hairstyles (we all remember the beehive or you may remember it as the B-52). It is also evident in the attitude of our youth. Okay, okay the big question is why? Why is old school fashion coming back?

There are numerous reasons why we all play our part in bringing back the styles of yesterday. I suppose mostly it is the fascination with our past. And what's more it all started with television. Perhaps what you don't know is that those of you that are fascinated with our past are the same people that grew up watching reruns of old shows such as Happy Days for instance. And those of us (You know who we are) also enjoy watching That 70's Show. There is something nostalgic about those shows that just send us back to that era.

We've been shown so much of the old style; let's face it-it's in our media, movies, old TV and even at the cinema. We all remember watching shows like Starsky and Hutch and Charlie's Angels. Come to think of it Old School Fashion is even portrayed in our choice of automobiles but we won't touch on that this go around.

The media was the spark that lit the fire that brought this revival. But where is the fuel? I suppose the truth of the matter would be that some of us like the old school fashion. It helps us reconnect with a past which was not nearly as complicated. I believe this to be THE reason why it continues to resurface because each time it does we find that we actually liked it.

As this happens it becomes quite popular and even sexy. Let's face it; old school fashion was designed to show off the human body. Everything was fitted, shirts, pants, not to mention cool patterns and designs and fabrics, these are the trademarks of our past, a past which young people of today have not experienced.

Most of us think old school fashion to be very cool, especially with today's technology and comfortable fabrics, these designs can showy and casual at the same time.

Maybe sometimes you wonder why is old fashion come back and whether they can get the customer's mind? I think that matter can cause in the future and maybe it has the strong position in the market.

Designer watches challenge handbags as the must-have fashion accessory

By Jessica Michault
Herald Tribune

PARIS: In the realm of luxury fashion, there are many contenders to the throne but only one king. For almost a decade, the designer handbag has worn the luxury crown. But now a battle royal is under way to determine the next sovereign. It will not be the designer ready-to-wear collections splashed across magazines, nor will it be stylish footwear like 10-inch, or 25-centimeter, heels or Minnie Mouse flats.

The workhorses of the industry, perfume and makeup, may bring in the money, but they lack the je-ne-sais-quoi luxe-glam of a designer handbag. No, the handbag's dauphin is the luxury watch, whether for women or men, with its "one size fits all" factor. Sunglasses and jewelry also possess that factor. But sunglasses, no matter how tricked out with diamonds or how feather-light and streamlined with titanium frames, will never have the timeless appeal of a luxury watch. And while jewelry is a close second to watches, with its cachet of one-of-a-kind creations and use of rare gemstones, these elements can also be easily incorporated into a luxury timepiece.

Like handbags, watches can cross any border; they do not clash with traditional dress or religious beliefs. In emerging luxury markets, like India, China and Russia, timepieces have come to be perceived as ultimate status symbols. Another measure of luxury watches's increasing status is that the price of an introductory timepiece is now on par with some designer handbags. A steady rise in prices for luxury handbags has brought many fashion labels over the €1,000, or $1,500, mark. In fact, €1,000 bags are starting to be banal; the benchmark for top-end bags is closing in on €5,000.

Industry-wide, fashion brands are creating designer watches and absorbing them into their stable of luxury goods. The crossover is easy. The brands entice fans of their designer bags to invest in a designer watch, too. And with the growing rumbling of a potential backlash against luxury handbags - because of the bag's shorter and shorter shelf life as a "one season wonder" - high-end watches with designer names on the dial look even more attractive.

The move is paying off. LVMH reported that profit for its watches and jewelry sector (which includes Tag Heuer, Zenith and Montres Dior) almost quadrupled in 2006, and it grew another 13 percent in 2007, when it took into account fluctuating exchange rates. Moschino is working with the Binda Group to create watches for its Cheap & Chic line. Chloé, which is owned by Richemont, has a line of timepieces in the works. And both the designer team of Badgley Mischka and the fashion golden boy Zac Posen now have watch partnerships with E. Gluck Corp., which manufactures watches for others.

Even Valentino, on the eve of his retirement from fashion, turned to Timex to create a limited edition watch to celebrate his 45 years in the business. The designer John Galliano, who has found success with his timepieces for Christian Dior, has teamed up with Morellato to produce watches and jewelry for his signature line. The jewelry line will be shown at the Baselworld watch fair this week, with the watch line to be shown next year. And if Galliano is to be believed, he has taken to heart the idea of creating a watch that can also act as jewelry.

"The Galliano watch is very feminine, very delicate, its more like a jewel than a watch," he said. "When we were coming up with these designs I wanted to create a piece that was like a delicate corsage, a decoration that you can hang on a chain necklace, as well as adding romance to a regular watch. I was really inspired to create a watch that would go with a beautiful evening dress, as well as add to your day."

Another fashion brand designer showing at Basel this year will be Roberto Cavalli, whose Diamond Time line of watches will incorporate diamonds and rock crystal embellishments. "As the Roberto Cavalli collection is evolving in an extremely sophisticated look approaching couture, I felt that I had to propose to my customers, men and women, an item which represents the highest level in the watch segment," Cavalli said.

These are entry-level luxury watches with prices ranging from €1,000 to €2,500. Brands like Louis Vuitton, Versace, Gucci and Fendi, which have already made inroads in the luxury watch segment, are trying to make a connection between their fashion designers and their luxury timepieces. At Fendi, it comes in the shape of the watch itself, inspired by the belt-buckle-shaped must-have "B" bag that Silvia Fendi created for the catwalk.

At Basel last year, Gucci introduced its Signora watch, the first one designed by Frida Giannini, the mind behind the house's ready-to-wear collections. And this year Versace will introduce a 43-millimeter, or 1.7-inch, piece from the classically styled men's watch collection called Acron. Even Donatella Versace might feel comfortable wearing it on her wrist, thus showing it to be not only one-size-fits-all but also unisex.

Also at Basel this year, Louis Vuitton will inaugurate its first watch designed by Marc Jacob, who creates the house's successful ready-to-wear collections. Called the Emprise, which was the name used on the first range of fine jewelry Jacobs did for the house, it has a sleek retro '70s feel. "I liked the idea of this watch being a watch that came from those same original concepts for that jewelry, which was to look at the hardware on the trunks and hard cases, you know the historic, and I think inimitable, ability that Vuitton has for constructing these pieces of hardware, which are so distinctive on all of their bags," Jacobs said.

The more established luxury fashion brands are trying to separate themselves from the upstarts by touting the quality of their Swiss-made movements or through the addition of new and more intricate functions. The august fashion house Hermès last year widened its 25 percent stake in a renowned Swiss watchmaker, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, though it did not say by how much. Vaucher, which is based in Fleurier, Switzerland, is known for its high-precision movements that are used by the likes of Tiffany and the Corum luxury watch brand. So while the luxury handbag still reigns supreme in the fashion empire, it would not be a surprise to see in the not-to-distant future a well-timed coup d'état.
