Fashion is not only about beautiful images, it is a lifestyle, it is a mission. And you can make this mission your life just think about fashion career and in order to think about it you have to be a fashion-addicted person. I mean it. All your school notebooks must be filled with numerous clothes illustrations and sketches, your friends and relatives must be fed up with your stories about Galliano and Dior, you should always recommend your friends how to change their boring outfits. That’s it? Then why not think about fashion design or even visual merchandising.

In the first case you’ll have fantastic opportunities to create your own clothes and even accessories, to analyze fashion trends and to set them not only follow. And in the second case you are welcome to create your own shops’ design. Namely you will decide how and where to locate this or that collection and how to place clothes in such a way them to attract people and what is more how to persuade them that these items are worth buying. Don’t miss!

So, you can dress like Rihanna, and be yourself. You would like to know how? Please, read the following post – Steal This Style: How-to Dress Like Rihanna from the Couture In The City Blog. These recommendations together with photos can work wonders.

Sometimes celebs make misses as well and forget that bangs are not for everyone… Thanks to the ChicIntuition Blog. Rachel Bilson looks not very nice with such hair-do.

Most people liked it, but as for me, it is not the brightest show from Galliano for Dior and what about you? By the way, I found this post here – MyFashionLife  and I liked this blog, tons of useful info and great shots with nice remarks. Thanks!

And the last thing about celebs, they are people, first of all people with their own tastes, views and opinions. I happened to like one more fashion designer and especially these nice ear-rings from Melody Ehsani and I came across it here: FashionForBreakfast.

1. Heidi Klum can be named the best one, her red dress from John Galliano for Dior couture was more than incredible.
   

   

2. George Clooney in classic bowtie with a cool Armani tux. May be it looks as old as the hills, but still very nice and so elegant.
   

   

3. Amy Ryan in a blue one-shouldered Calvin Klein dress was brilliant.
   

   

And now, top worst dressed:

1. Cameron Diaz looked too pale, although she wore a Dior gown. Too much of everything.
   

   

2. Marion Cotillard, a popular French actress looked too funny in this fishy Jean Paul Gaultier dress.
   

   

3. Witness Miley Cyrus, too bright in this Valentino dress and too stylish for her 15 years, critics couldn’t stand these two circumstances.

General moments:

• a variety of bright colours, catwalks looked like a roost of colourful and rare butterflies: pink, red, yellow etc.
• flowers, feathers, prints;
• frocks, bows, kimonos;
• either small or extremely big bags;
• high-heeled shoes;

Interesting moments:

• Bird-women, floral and fauna prints, exotic trends, kimono-tunics, maxi-dresses, striped cardigans… Colours are bright, even bold. These all can be seen in the collection from Kenzo.

  

• Alexander McQueen was a little bit nostalgic. We can see again hats from Philip Treacy and feel Isabella Blow presence (may be because a bottle of her perfume was given to every guest!). This season McQueen is mad about Japan, rainbow prints, sandals, lace inserts and kimono dresses.

   

• Chanel. As for me, I adore their ready-to-walk collections, they are a bright combination of the heritage and modern. Most of all, I liked their stars, especially on dresses, they are so stylish and adorable.

  

• Also, I liked new Galliano’s vision of the world and business dress-code. They are thought-provoking and are a perfect reflection of Marlene Dietrich style.

  

• Lanvin frocks are so gentle and at the same time sexy, they are made for special occasions. In this dresses, women seem to be like flowers. So, delicious!

  

Not very interesting moments:

Jean-Paul Gaultier is a very popular French designer, no doubts, it stands in one row with Galliano, Dior, Lacroix and other designers, which really contributed in the development of a fashion world.

It is amazing, but Jean-Paul didn’t get a special education, but he was really talented and adore clothes, so when he was young, he sent his drawings to famous couture stylists and good luck smiled him – in 1970 he became an assistant of Pierre Cardin. Jean-Paul was only 18 years old. But not everything was so smooth, the house was overstuffed and Jean was fired. It was a gloomy period, but he survived it and started working for Jacques Esterel fashion house. In 1974 he returned to Cardin and was immediately sent to Manila, there his works were highly popular. In 1975 – Gaultier came back to France and began saving money…

Gaultier together with Galliano is a provocateur. His own collection was presented in 1976 (with the help of Francis Menuge) and only in 1981 he finally developed his own style, yeah, it was bold, street-like, unusual and a bit strange, but it was fresh and bright, it made a revolution in tired from classic France. Gaultier designed a notoriously famous cone-bra for Madonna Blond Ambition Tour and she returned to him in 2006. He worked with Luc Besson, while designing a wardrobe for his movie “The Fifth Element”, Marilyn Manson, Pedro Almodóvar and other celebrities.

If you have ever seen at least one catwalk from Gaultier, you will understand, why for many years, he had a reputation of a really bad boy of the fashion world – his models are unconventional (fat women, old men etc.), gender roles are switched… But, nevertheless, he is still popular.

Where Gaultier is, there is an intrigue. He has one of the most recognizable faces in the world.

But, clothes making is not his only talent, he makes even more popular parfumes (actually, I adore them. I have never met more long-lasting fragrance. The first fragrance from Jean-Paul Gaultier is – Classique. It has seen the world in 1993 and is a women’s floral-oriental perfume. It was on the top of sales. And still is rather popular, especially in Europe, Australia and the USA.

To tell the truth, I wanna pay your attention to the autumn/winter collection 2007 (I mean the previous collection). It was of religious theme, but the devotion to religion and worshipping to it doesn’t look ridiculuos, he made people think about religion. Each model had a halo, their faces were pale. It wasn’t a mock.
