Fashion Week

No doubts, Kiev (the capital of Ukraine, is not a famous fashion capital or a city) but the 1st article in my category Fashion Weeks will start namely from it. Why? Not because my friends lives there or just ’cause I like this country, but because Ukrainian Fashion Week 2006 has reminded us about the existence of a very urgent and important problem, its name is AIDS/HIV. And it was a very important issue to view and Ukrainian Fashion Week 2007 was devoted to marriage and wedding days…

A tribute to the history… Famous Ukrainian designer Alexey Zalevsiky presented his spring-summer collection 2007 and it looked a little bit unusual: first of all, there were 50 model at the show – 5 of them have HIV. Then, clothes – a condom headdresses or a hair-do with syringes. Collection of Alexey is a very warm one and it conveys a lot of positive emotions. The Ukrainian ANTIAIDS Foundation has supported this action and project.

It was only a tribute and what about this one… This Ukrainian Fashion Week was the 10th one, it started in the capital of Ukraine and contained collections from both famous Ukrainian designers and new names, more than 40 designers were present.

The Fashion Week was opened with the models from Lilia Pustovit. By the way, not so far her clothes appeared in the boutiques of London and Tokyo. The catwalk started with the clothes in grey and black colours in combination with pink and yellow shoes. What about shoes? Ballerina pumps!

Introduction – New Category of Glamorous Fashion

Salut, dear readers and guests, today I would like to inform you about an appearance of a new category – FASHION WEEKS! Why I have decided to make it? Because fashion weeks are integral part of the Big World of Fashion. Each Fashion Week is a very important event, actually, WEEK – because it lasts one week and during this period fashion designers are able to show their latest fashion collections. No doubts, the unforgettable shows go on in Paris, New York, London and Milan, but other countries try to follow their examples and to create their own amazing collections.

 Fashion Week Coverage

In the above-mentioned cities Fashion Weeks are semiannual shows. There are “autumn” fashion weeks (it is all about the latest fall collections – January-March) and “spring” fashion weeks (from September to November). A common question: why they are held so early? Because, other designers need time to create new clothes and get acquainted with main season trends and shops need to make orders and decide what to buy.

Nowadays, fashion weeks look more like an advertisement or an entertaining event, a lot of celebrities, stars and VIP’s visit them. Very often it is possible to meet there singers, actors and attend performances. Sometimes, even designing schools participate in these shows. Moreover, there are some special, I mean specific Fashion Weeks (devoted to swimwear, resort clothes or ready-to-wear).

The first Fashion week had nothing in common with a present one…

Beckham’s Collection

Victoria Beckham Victoria Beckham’s Collection was coolly achieved by public and just fashion-lovers. Recently Vici has changed her habitual place of living, actually the United Kingdom of Great Britain onto the USA and showed to public her first new line of denim clothes. Victoria herself is very proud of her collection and thinks that it is cool, stylish and fashionable. But world’s society and namely, the founder of the company Dekeyser Fashion – Robert Keyser is not so optimistic. Later he was in charge of Beckham’s denims sales, when she made clothes together with Rock and Republic.

Keyser didn’t like new collection at all, he said, that it is not only too expensive, but also vulgar and gaudy. New models cost a great deal of money, as to clothes made from rather cheap fabric!

Rock and Public is going to break the partnership with ambitious Beckham, not only because of her uninteresting models, but also because of her uncertainty, inconsistency and laziness.

Fashion idol, icon of style – Victoria Beckham has to change her own style! She used to be at the Victoria Beckham - ocean easetop of the world, a lot of people in Britain worshiped her style and followed it closely! But this situation has completely changed with her moving! The USA is a completely another country and its people don’t understand such combinations as a lace dress, while going for a walk or a high platform-sole shoes while going sports!

The USA, this country has no resemblance to the UK at all. The only one style that is appropriate here – casual. You must look beautiful, but not to forget about comfort! As an example, let’s take Jennifer Aniston, she is famous because of her habit to combine extremely expensive denims and usual tops from ordinary cotton.

So, it is time for Vici to face the reality! She had to adapt to new society and change her wearing preferences in order not to be laughed at! Do in Rome as Romans do!
