Most of these catwalk hair styles are created on back-stage in less than ten minutes and although it may not appear attractive or practically wearable, fashion designers just love the way short styles accentuate the neck and shoulders that show off perfect tailoring. Use these styles as inspirations to find your own branded look.
There are classic bobs with texture and no texture that use blocks of colors. And also hair with simple shapes and strong outlines blended and layered with thoughtful complexity.
The look is strong, sultry and seductive. A very special mix of sexy retro glamour with hard-edged eveningwear. Hair is piled, pulled, parted, blown and tossed. colors are washed-out golds, strawberry blondes and resonant browns.

Cinnamon Spice
For brunettes who want a hint of spice with a modern twist and glowing depth. Enjoy this creation of lively shades, enriched with an alluring tinge of copper that has a unique composition; delivering a perfectly balanced look.
Vanilla Mélange
Blondes shine a little brighter with Vanilla Mélange, a highly original combination of cutting-edge shades. The result is a sexy blend of cool and neutral pastel blondes that captures the unique urban glamour in a tempting Vanilla colour mélang.

new model for girls fashion
A model (from Middle French modèle),[1] sometimes called a mannequin, is a person who is employed for the purpose of displaying and promoting fashion clothing or other products and for advertising or promotional purposes or who poses for works of art.
Modeling is distinguished from other types of public performance, such as an acting, dancing or mime artist, although the boundary is not well defined. Appearing in a movie or a play is not considered modeling. However, models may be considered to express emotion in their photographs, and many[who?] describe themselves as actors.[citation needed] Models are generally not expected to verbally express themselves unless to visually enhance a photograph.[citation needed]
Types of modeling include fashion, glamor, fitness, bikini, fine art, and body-part models. Models are features in a variety of media formats including books, magazines, movies, newspapers, and TV. The models themselves can be a featured part of a movie, examples include Looker and Tattoo; In songs, including "Metro Sexy - Kehoe's Song" by The Janice Dickinson Fan Club, for male model Brian Kehoe; and reality television, including America's Next Top Model and The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.
new hair cutting considerations
Do you need a change in your life?—nothing too drastic. Perhaps you regularly read the major fashion magazines, stare intently at your favorite celebrities latest hair style and wonder whether now is the time to shear several inches—or more—from your current cut. The truth is that many people do not know what else to do with their hair. The articles in Hair Cut Advice give you the inspiration and the latest advice you need to try a new hair style or hair cut.
Well, gone are the days of showing up at the beauty salon with only a vague notion of what you want. Thanks to this amazing website, you will find inspiring information on new hairstyles, hair care, fashion, trends and advice for choosing hairstyles for weddings, proms and other special events. In addition we have 4 articles discussing computer-modeling technology. Now there’s an innovative new way to thumb through an online album of thousands of unique hairstyles and preview how you’ll look in any number of them. Stellure.com, our pick of the various technology available, brings new meaning to the term “hair net.” With only a click of the mouse, you can review catalogues packed with diverse hairstyles, in a wide array of lengths, colors and attitudes. It’s a lot safer than getting draped with a plastic sheet at your neighborhood salon and gnawing on your knuckles as the stylist’s scissors approach.
The great thing about a virtual hairstyle is that there’s no risk whatsoever—no panicking at the prospect of an unappealing cut, no regrets as hair is swept away from the floor of the salon, never to return. You can experiment with haircuts you never may have considered—a retro shag, punky spikes, a trendy bob, a casual pageboy and an elegant chignon, among others—and your styling journey may lead you to unexpected choices. That’s the beauty of the system: The only limits lie with your imagination.

fashion and newstyle

If you can see there is a dramatic change in the fashion industry but one thing is clear that it keep on repeating with the same look as it was but with new style and looks . Fashion designers most often strive to bring something new in front of the audience but lots of them keep on redesigning the same old clothes and bring in front of audience with some new look .
Like in old days people were loving to wear jeans which was tight , after this fashion designers introduced the baggy style which was liked very much and designers kept on working on different styles loose jeans but now yet again people are coming to tight jeans trend and designers now a days focus on designing tight jeans with new sketches on it .
That’s the way fashion industry grows and it keep on repeating the same products again and again , I don’t say that always it repeat the same product but sometime it come up with new and innovative designs and add some more crisp to the fashion world !
new hair cutting conderations
There are three essential points to consider before embarking on any change of hairstyle:
1. Be realistic. How much time do you really want to spend on your hair every day? Also, how much time have you realistically got? If you choose a style that requires time you are not happy to put in, you will never get the look you want.
2. Straight, curly, dark or blonde, wavy or wispy, make the most of what you have got. Hair always looks its best when it is in fabulous condition and has a fantastic cut.
3. Use your ammunition! Products are essential daily tools for achieving gloss, body and manageability on all hair types. Experiment a little and learn which products suit your hair best and how to use them.
The long and the Short of hair cutting
Long, romantic, tumbling tresses remain a classic look and a favourite with the opposite gender. To counter the hippie 'curtain' effect and make your hair seem less heavy, as well as keep locks in excellent condition, go for a layered cut. This will add shape around your face to give a defined and confident hairstyle. With well-shaped layers, hair will not fall too heavily across the face. But be warned: there's nothing worse than straggly, uncared-for, 'rat tail' hair snaking down your back, so don't bother growing it if you don't want to spend time brushing, washing, drying and styling your hair.
With its mix of modernity and femininity, short hairstyle can be extremely sexy. It is a great option for women who want a strong, feminine image, a personal signature, yet a low-maintenance hair style. Short, sassy, sexy hairstyles are on the increase - think Meg Ryan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz. Casual or glamorous, layers help to define texture and volume, giving the hairstyle greater depth and making styling simple.
Going for the New chop hairstyles
Ultimately, whether you opt for a long or short hairstyle, determining your face shape, hair type and texture will help you to find the most flattering cut for you. Once you have this basic information to work with, you can then adapt catwalk styles or ideas from the pages of beauty magazines to create an individual look.
The key thing to remember when going for a new hairstyle is that the face shape should trigger off the hairstyle. In the same way as a beautiful frame enhances a picture, if you have got the right hairstyle for your face shape, then your whole face will look prettier and fresher, your eyes will stand out and your good features will be emphasized. Enjoy your hair's own unique style and, with the advice of your hairdresser select a style to enhance what you have already got. If you try to alter your natural hair too much, you may end up compromising on the condition of your hair and become a slave to a high-maintenance look in the process.
to fring your hair
Rachel Bilson took the plunge and ended up with these long blunt cut bangs. It’s a great look for any forehead shape but a lifesaver for those with a higher hairline! For best results, you should have relatively thick hair. If not, these bangs will look out of balance with the rest of your style. The chestnut color with subtle highlighting makes her hair look super healthy and rich. Toss in some longer layers, large waves and some shine serum and you’ve got amazing celeb hair! With smoky eyes and light gloss on the lips, she doesn’t need much to look polished.
So who can pull this style off? Most face shapes will work with this longer style. It’s sort of a mysterious girl-next-door look and is a fresh hot style for spring. Stay away from bulky bangs if you have really fine or stringy hair. And if you aren’t sure how you will look with the style and want to try it with less risk, upload your pic to a virtual hairstyles program. That way you can see how it will look before you go in and have it done!
rachel fringe
To get Rachel’s style, use mousse after washing your hair, dry most of the way then section hair off and finish drying hair in sections around a large round brush. Make sure to blow from roots to ends, holding the blow dryer above the head. Once hair is dry, shake out the curls, separate a little with your fingers, then use a little pomade to pull through the ends for that extra shine.
Camilla Belle has the most luxurious hair! Hair like this needs a lot of love. Not only taking the time to style it right, but using products that protect and nourish it. Camilla’s stlye is basic: long blunt cut in back and long blunt cut bangs. It’s perfect for her face shape and overall personal style. The deep rich brown color is unbelievably shiny and healthy looking. This celeb doesn’t need a lot of makeup to look her best. Exotic eyes and eyebrows with a little gloss on the lips and some bronzer. Fantastic!
camilla belle fringe
So how do you get this stlye? Use high end shampoo and conditioner, to start. To get the best shine, let hair air dry then apply a silicone-based serum. If your hair isn’t perfectly straight, run through the strands with a ceramic flat iron. To complete the style, use a hair shine or gloss product. It’s a great style for most face shapes, so if you’ve got great straight hair then you can’t lose. The style is lower maintenance for those with naturally straight hair than for those with curly hair, but if you don’t mind the extra work then curly haired girls can do it too!
Christina Ricci went for a little shorter version of spring’s hottest new trend. Her blunt cut bangs hit right at her eyebrows and make her face look sweet! Her dark honey-colored locks in loose vibrant curls combined with the fringe are just right for her face shape. Will it work for you? Probably. Again, you need to have a decent amount of hair (or some great extensions!) to pull off the bangs.
ricci fringe
To get the style: after washing and conditioning with nutrient enriched products, apply styling mousse or cream and blow mostly dry. When hair is just barely damp, insert medium to large Velcro rollers and blow dry the rest of the way. Separate curls with fingers after removing the rollers. To get the bangs right, use a large round brush. The volume is all in the curls and not in the roots, so you don’t have to tease hair at all. Spray the finished style with finishing spray and some shine serum or spray. Keep the makeup simple and the eyes smoky, and you will have Miss Ricci’s red-carpet look.

to fring your hair or not fring hair
2006-red-fringe Square-shape face: a long fringe, with so called “little claws” will add volume to your face. To get sweeter features, ask your hairstylist to cut your hair in stairs.
Oval face: you are a lucky one, but I guess you already knew that. You can choose any type of fringe you want. It can be an asymmetrical one, long fringe, short fringe, no matter the size or “weight” It can be a full straight fringe or you can choose a side-fringe.
severe-short-heavy-fringe-bang Heart-shape face: you need to search for the perfect fringe that will milder your jaw line. The heart-shape face has a prominent jaw line, and you need to opt for a thick straight fringe, right under your eyebrows line.
Round shape face: because you will always look younger than you really are, and you can experience the “chubby face” childhood “syndrome” all your life, we recommend a soft medium-long fringe, but stay away from the side fringes! Opt for a full fringe.
Different types of fringe:
* Straight cut fringe – it is cut just below the eyebrows, in straight line from one temple to another. img-thing
* Lost in a part, side fringe – starting from the hair path to one side and another, the fringe is long, it is covering almost half of your forehead and it has a stairs cut.
* ”Claws” fringe- is a modified version of blunt, straight cut fringe, in this case the hair stripes strand separated from each other, like little “claws” that cover the forehead.
* Asymmetric - this fringe can be a work of art, and may have different lengths and shapes, the only rule is that irregular hairstyle lines.

Top 2010 Fashion Trends
February 17th, 2010 | Fashion Trends, Women Fashion | admin | No Comments
I’m not quite sure what the Auld Lang Syne song means but if you “forget old acquaintances” be sure to remember our fashion forecast! It’s been said that “function is the new luxury.” Wooooooohoooooo FINALLY clothes every-day women can actually WEAR. Minimalism is in folks and like it or not the following trends are on the horizon:
Military, khaki, and the like. Atteeeeeeeention! Ralph Lauren, Céline, and Chloé are those top designers whose collections are based on this utilitarian style. Look out for military jackets styled with lots ‘o buttons or embellished shoulders. In fact, I just bought myself one super cute navy number with blinged-out shoulders (WITH shoulder pads). I love it and I can’t help but feel as though I’m paying homage to Mr. Michael Jackson when I wear it (So sad L). On a lighter note, expect to see a fare share of khaki dresses- not my fav so hopefully they won’t last beyond this season. Wait I take that back. Ms. Kate Bosworth was sporting a great khaki one-piece with exposed sides in my latest Harper’s Bazaar issue. I admit there are some exceptions. Just be sure not to invest a more traditional version, a.k.a. a short-sleeved, collared, button-up with a sash around the waist.
Denim. We all know the runway has long avoided blue jeans, but this year we’re seeing a new take on baby blues. Look out for vests and denim dresses in a variety of cuts and washes. Sorry Guess, you’re not the only one producing this look anymore. Since we’re talking denim, anyone watch the “potato sack challenge” Project Runway? Yes, yes Ping probably should’ve gotten kicked off that time and although I didn’t like Miss Pamela’s dress (the girl who got kicked off), at least she was on trend! Also, am I the only one who thinks Heidi is extra talkative this season? Put a sock in it Klum, I wanna hear Michael and Nina too!
Sorbet. No not the ice cream, the color! Last year we saw that great electric purple and this year isn’t very far from it. Pinks and purples are on the same side of the color wheel and this year is all about the “harmonious” colors—lavender, fuchsia, and sorbet. Mary J. Blige knows what’s going on. She wore a fuchsia gown to the Grammy’s this year. You go girl!

Denim. We all know the runway has long avoided blue jeans, but this year we’re seeing a new take on baby blues. Look out for vests and denim dresses in a variety of cuts and washes. Sorry Guess, you’re not the only one producing this look anymore. Since we’re talking denim, anyone watch the “potato sack challenge” Project Runway? Yes, yes Ping probably should’ve gotten kicked off that time and although I didn’t like Miss Pamela’s dress (the girl who got kicked off), at least she was on trend! Also, am I the only one who thinks Heidi is extra talkative this season? Put a sock in it Klum, I wanna hear Michael and Nina too!
Sorbet. No not the ice cream, the color! Last year we saw that great electric purple and this year isn’t very far from it. Pinks and purples are on the same side of the color wheel and this year is all about the “harmonious” colors—lavender, fuchsia, and sorbet. Mary J. Blige knows what’s going on. She wore a fuchsia gown to the Grammy’s this year. You go girl!

Trend #1 - School girl look. Classier and more sophisticated than the Japanese school girl look.
Trend #2 – Photoprints. You started to see this look on bags years ago and you may have even it seen a few glimpses from your famous vintage store. The look has now matured and we think you’ll love it.
Trend #3 – Boudoir goes public. Normally this would not be a good thing, but connecting a lace top with a blazer can give a flirty, feminine look that is hard to duplicate.
Trend #4 – Ikat. According to Wikipedia ikat or ikkat is a style of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. In other words, tie-dye meets the runway.
Trend #5 – Slouchy Menswear. We’re seeing it everywhere and done right it can be exceptional.

hat’s next for fashion? Dressing in your undies! Okay, okay may be not so literally but Marc Jacobs, Valentino, and Christian Dior are just a few designers whose latest fashions are inspired by undergarments. Need me to be more specific? No problem. I’m talkin’ ‘bout lace shirts, tap shorts, and pj bottoms (yes pj bottoms!)
K lets break it down. Lace shirts are pretty self-explanatory but if you don’t know what tap shorts are (love them), they’re adorable little, ruffley shorts that are usually made out of silk or lace. They come in a variety colors but pastels seem to be the most common. Diesel Black Gold, Sunner, and Alexander Wang (this man can do no wrong) each have their versions in the February issue of ELLE. I’ll take a pair! Too bad I’ll have to wait until a more affordable brand comes out with them L Moving on…
Who doesn’t love jammies? No one, that’s who! Ok please pay attention because I’m not suggesting you take your plaid, flannel numbers and strut your stuff around town. No, no. Remember the operative word here is INSPIRED. We don’t want you looking like a co-ed who just rolled out of bed and didn’t bother to get dressed for class. These “jams” are actually MEANT to be worn during the daytime and are usually floral with an occasional subtle polka-dot in the mix. I want a pair of these too! Ugh.
Share my frustration with sky-high designer duds? Not to worry because one little company which brands itself with red and white circles has our backs. Target, or “tar-zhay” as I like to call it, has partnered with Rodarte to deliver us some quality bedtime-inspired looks. SUPER CUTE and they’re in that sorbet color which is the color to dress is this season. Want to find out more? Visit http://www.target.com/gp/browse.html?node=16275561&ref=sr_shorturl_gointernational

We just finished up another FABULOUS New York Fashion Week and we saw the good, the bad, and the ugly grace the runway. What are WFO’s favorite trends? Well let’s just say Scarlett O’hara was onto something when she had Mammy make her a head-to-toe green velvet frock (and out of drapes nonetheless). I was always a fan of the fashions worn during that era but thank goodness we’ve ixnayed the girdle. Yes, Scarlett was right on two counts. Velvet takes the cake when it comes to WFO’s favorite fall trend but our designers’ forecast says it IS easy being green…at least this season.
Let’s talk velvet first. I love this because it’s chic AND warm; usually the two are mutually exclusive. Madewell, Alexander Wang, Charlotte Ronson, Nanette Lepore, and Mr. Zac Posen all used the luxurious material. If I were Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone, Clueless) I’d give these designers “snaps!”
Green…the color of money, envy, and Kermit The Frog but for Devi Kroell, Monique Lhuiller, and Rag & Bone, it was the color which adorned their runway models (Posen and Wang were in this mix too). Other not-so-novel trends spotlighted included lace, black-on-black, and yes, sequins are here to stay (I don’t know how I feel about this one. I’m starting to think it’s a bit overplayed). On a more positive note, keep your eyes peeled for velvety numbers to keep you comfy, cozy chic in fall 2010. Word to the wise, avoid crushed velvet (we’re not going for your little sister’s or niece’s gymnastics leotard).

Fashion and beauty go hand-in-hand, right? It can even be argued that both (beauty and GOOD fashion) are in the eye of the beholder. I mean, on several accounts I have disagreed with Heidi, Michael, and Nina on which designer should be sent home and almost never do me and my girlfriends agree on which guys are cute (I’m all about the Eric Danes and Jared Letos of the world). Sound familiar? It just proves my point—we live in a subjective world, so don’t sell out. Be you.
I was watching Coco Before Chanel the other day (not the Shirley MacClaine movie but the French film) and Coco, born Gabrielle Chanel, wore men’s clothes in a time when women decorated themselves with pearls, feathers, and other frills. Now she is recognized as a 20th century icon and her name resonates with the best of the industry. Way to go Coco, I want one of your bags!
I think it all has to do with vision and if I may borrow a line from The Holiday, (I’m a big movie buff if you can’t tell) “gumption.” If you’re lacking a bit on the vision side, that’s okay; you can always gather inspiration from someone else’s vision. Don’t even try to tell me you don’t have chutzpah—I’ll call your bluff.
So who are the great visionaries of today? They’re the masterminds behind what you see on the catwalk, of course! North of the neckline, Chanel and Zac Posen are all about amethyst eyes and a red pout. Frame out these features with a messy updo, braid, or sleek ponytail to unleash your inner siren. No no matter who’s your type, you’ll have your pick of the Johnny Depps and Matthew McConaugheys of the world. Knock ‘em dead
