WHO DECIDES WHAT IS FASHIONABLE?

Other Brands

The world of fashion has changed and it’s no longer the top design houses in London, Paris, Milan or New York people turn to when they want to know what they should be wearing this season.

Fashion forecasters and bloggers can have more influence, but who actually decides what will be fashionable this year? Also, how influential are fashions and trends in areas other than the clothes industry?

INFLUENCERS AND FORECASTERS HELPING FASHION HOUSES

When top fashion houses release a new collection, they have the power of online influencers and forecasters to help them get it into the public domain. Many of the influencers are celebrities who can have many millions of followers on social media. The forecasters follow trends and try to fathom what will be fashionable next year and beyond. The fashion houses use the services of both to try and be the one who comes out on top in the fashion world.

FASHION IN GAMING

Clothes are not the only area where things go in and out of fashion. Online slots can be fashionable, as can adventure games and the platforms they are played on. For example, Mermaid’s Diamond and Pink Elephants were chosen by SlotsOnlineCanada as two of the top 5 most fashionable slots – both in terms of appeal and of graphics. In the area of consoles, things are similar. One month the Xbox will outsell the PlayStation, and the next it can be the other way round. The digital devices that online casinos are played on can be just the same, although overall it seems that iPhones are leading the fashion in smartphones at the moment.

HOUSEHOLD FASHIONS

Household fashions change all the time. You will know from visiting other people’s houses how different furniture, curtains, and accessories can be. This is not just because of personal taste but because the retailers change what they are selling as the fashions in household goods change.

Homes used to be very cluttered, with walls full of pictures and every little bit of floor space used. These days the fashion is to have a cleaner and sharper feel to your rooms, with much less in them. Even with the items of furniture you do buy, fashions alter all the time.

FASHIONS AND TECHNOLOGY

We all have some sort of technology, whether in our homes or at work. There are our computers and other digital devices, just for starters, and then things like TVs and other electrical items. Some of them may be old technology by today’s standards, but they are technology non-the less. New innovations are being produced by developers every day, and as soon as something proves to be very useful or relaxing for users, it does not take long for it to become fashionable. The problem with technology is that it’s evolving at such a pace that often products are at the front of the field for a very short time as something new quickly surpasses them.

CHANGING MOODS

‘Where All The Cool Trends Come From’ – Alan Levine via Flickr (CC0 1.0)

Fashions in all parts of our lives have altered beyond what we could have imagined just a few years ago. Look at music, films, or jewelry from a few years ago and it will all seem very dated. Although some things occasionally come back into fashion, most things seem to be changing as often as our moods. That could be because marketers and producers watch out for the mood of the public, and pitch their sales promotions to suit them.

LOUIS VUITTON TROMPE L’OEIL SCREEN BAG COLLECTION

Other Brands

Oh My! Fashion and Art has crossed again at the house of Louis Vuitton. Have you ever heard about the Trompe L’oeil? It’s a well-known art technique in France. And Louis Vuitton has blended this technique with their iconic handbags for the Spring Summer 2018 Collection. In this post we will be talking a bit about the story of the Trompe L’oeil art as well as the design. And by the way, this line is called the Louis Vuitton Trompe L’oeil Screen Bag Collection.

The Design

What is the Trompe L’oeil? It means in French ‘Deceive The Eye’. Trompe L’oeil is an art technique that transforms a realistic image into an optical 3D illusion. And this technique has been used re-designed the iconic handbags with trunk detailing, which is basically a print, but the purpose is to deceive the eye in thinking that they’re real pieces.

Now, take a better look at these handbags. Can you see the trunk corners and the historic Louis Vuitton locks? They’re all screen prints, but they’re very clever designed. The print also features the Louis Vuitton travel badge and the LV logo.

What’s more? These bags are beautified with Damier Azur coated canvas or Monogram Canvas, which is an iconic piece. And we’d know that they’re limited edition piece and only seasonal available. Once the season ends, these bags will be gone forever. If you want a flaunting iconic piece, then perhaps its time to make the investment.

SUBTLE SHINE & SHIMMER

This year the sparkled and glitter are getting a revamp, with subtle shimmer and shine taking the stage. From gloss to shadow, shine and shimmer make up adds a hint of glamour without going over the top. London Fashion Week saw gloss and shine emerge as a prevalent trend, and appears to be the next evolution in highlighting and contouring too. However, adding some shine to your makeup bag doesn’t have to cost a fortune, with NYX Professional Makeup Shimmer Eyeshadow Pigments for just £5.50 from boots.

GET THE FRESH-FACED LOOK

This year we are starting to see the disappearance of caked on foundation and the emergence of the “natural look”. Not only on the outside but the inside too, as more people are preparing to get makeup which causes less harm both environmentally and physically, with many brands being exposed for containing harsh chemicals and parabens. Ethical, organic and chemical free makeup brands are not only hard to find but can be pricey too, so try exploring the exciting world of voucher code shoppingand find brands such as Neals Yard Remedies, The Body Shop and Green People at a fraction of the usual price.

HOTTEST HAIR MUST HAVES

Statement hair was iconic for the 2018 London Fashion Week, with Vogue exploring the prevalent braids, ponytails and eccentric cuts. Although cutting your own hair isn’t advisable, there are a few key ways to save on styles such as the volumous ponytail and romantic French braids. With a huge range of YouTube videos dedicated to teaching everyone from beginner to expert, giving it a go on your own is a great way to save on the cost of a stylish do. Save on keeping your hair looking just right with homemade hairspray and avoid all the hidden chemicals in common brands.

ADD A SPLASH OF COLOUR

With celebrities such as Adele sporting the “Splash of Colour” trend with a bright and bold lipstick, this beauty trend is sure to stay for 2018. Whether it’s bright red lips or bright pink nails, adding a bold colour to a natural beauty look has been a favourite trend throughout the last year, and It thankfully doesn’t show any signs of disappearing any time soon. However, although the celebs were rocking this beauty trend at the Brit Awards, you don’t need to have a celeb salary to add some colour to your look. With shops such as Fragrance Direct offering bold lipsticks from just £2.50 plus multi-buy savings, you can add a hint of colour for much less.

The top beauty trends for 2018 incorporate natural beauty with subtle shimmers and cleansers with bold statement elements such as eccentric hair and splashes of primary colour. Gaining inspiration from London Fashion Week and celebrity styles on the red carpet, you can experiment with your look and get the fresh faced, iconic style at a fraction of the usual price. Alternatively, you can ignore all the trends and look however you want and probably save a fortune; but where’s the fun in that?

So without a doubt, this is a fabulous handbag. It’s practical, chic and who knows? The next iconic?
