materials of the world is an Adidas brain child , forever the forward thinkers they produced a range of different material shoes modelled in their image one such range was the gazelle and they numbered 500 pairs only, as the fable goes, well at least in the LAND OF THE SNEAKER, however the material used for the Gazelle was the Vlisco (Hollandis) a lot of them looked okay but if I had to design them I would probably us the material sparingly to add value as opposed to an entire base judge for yourself here are some of the entries above and below.
Vlisco over the years have brought us a lot of fantastic and unique pattern designs, and if the truth be told the African fashion scene and the interests that have began to show up in world fashion. Now the Vlisco brand have decided to go one step further and enter into the bag accessorie with set of designs called HAUTE MAROQUINERIE the picture on the left is a tote bag with a cotton wax print laminated with a clear PVC film which not only enhances the souplesse of the material but protects it thereby making this bag unique when viewed through the different looks of the specific Vlisco flower prints. While in the shawl accessory market with a 100 % silk shawl they have called MAMA . It’s a known fact that the accessories market is big business and its quite exciting to see how Vlisco intends to enhance the spark in a trendthat is African fashion, in what is a very crowded accessories market, but one that is begging for something totally different. I have always felt that trends are seasonal and cyclical, but style is continuous and morphs, in general different parts of the globe have their own style and colours though there is a lot of overlap distinctions are highlighted as opposed to parallels, this will not be the first attempt at using this fabric to create accessories, but I hope it is about to become the most visible and sustained and with the clout and financial backing of this print design company I would expect that in some part of the global fashion establishment you might be seeing the birth of a sub-genre in the accessory market which will be aligned with our distinct African style.
the 1980s, but has never been a common item of everyday wear. They retain connotations of futurism because they have been frequently featured in popular science fiction.

The story for this summer is nudity – the vast majority of shows opened 
with nude, ice-cream colours, making cut and drapery the big style statements as opposed to eye-popping colours. Where last summer we obsessed about colour blocking, next will be about subtleties of tone: nude with peach with washed out nutmeg, or grey with icy blue. A general lack of clothing will be approved of too – your underwear must look its best next summer because if it’s not on show it’s not worth wearing – only to be covered by swathes of knotted and ruffled sheer chiffon – and a touch of lace will keep things interesting Stella McCartney, Fendi. White is always a trend for summer, but 2010 is expecting a full washout – bleached cotton came tailored and masculine or bulging and ruffled. And if you want colour, make it a check Christopher Kane, Louis Vuitton. So what to buy, if you will be shopping? Party dresses – lots of them, to be worn day and night: with interesting and forgiving folds around the hip for added shape. A jumpsuit – single shouldered or strapless if you dare. Loose trousers that taper to the ankle, preferably in silk. Bring shoes down a level or two, and if you venture from the washed out palette, make it a bold, tribal or ethnic print Dries Van Noten. A trench coat, long or short or turned into a party dress at Burberry. A belt – skinny ribbons or wide leather versions; the waist intends to allow you to show off your curves. And if your curves are that good, swimwear is teeny weeny as can be.
It seems that there are a lot of collaborations with J Brand at present. A few months back, Proenza Schouler designed a set of jeans with them . Just as in 2009 when Hussein Chalayan and J Brand ex-creative director and co owner Susie Crippen the other owner being Jeff Rudes, collaborated on a denim line, in decribing thier concept they explained that their real mission, was to make the avant-garde accessible. Said Hussein “denim rescues everything” , as he proceeded to explain that its a confidence boosting rescue, “its the joker card of your wardrobe”, looking at the position that he operates from and because of his avant-garde status Hussein is almost unreachable but the collaboration worked because being accesible as an avantgarde he was able to change the dynamics of the relationship between the designer and the wearer. As a result this collaboration gave both parties the chance to expand their markets with a little inflence from each other. In the 2010 Collaboration Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez explained they were exploring the idea of uniforms with their fall collection and couldn’t ignore denim’s ubiquity in most people’s wardrobe. . Each pair was printed with a graphic black and white graffiti print, which is hand-pained over to create texture. with some of these very astute collaborations it will be interesting to see how well J Brand label expands its customer base.
This attentive, affectionate portrait, by Matt Tyrnauer which traces the final year of the designer’s career, shows that it’s good to be the king. Valentino is the creative wellspring, the man whose intricate demands have to be satisfied. And he is not easily satisfied. One of the last designers whose couture was handmade — his assistants, one of his backers noted, never touched a sewing machine — he relies on his invisible artists, the seamstresses of northern Italy, for the anachronistic grace of his frocks. He designs the dresses; they make them. Antonietta de Angelis, the head seamstress of the house, has some of her boss’s imperious temperament. She knows that anything less than perfection is unacceptable, for a master who keeps wanting to improve on it. After designing a perfect white dress, a symphony of subtle movement, he ponders his creation and announces, “But some sequins can’t hurt.” Says Valentino Garavani “I know what women want,” “They want to be beautiful.” But the question any couturier must answer is, What kind of beautiful do they want to be?
