be creative by playing fashion design games With the influential New York fashion design set opting for earthy colors like Woodbine,windows 7 key a not-yo-mama's-avocado shade favored by Peter Som (above), Tracy Reese Betsey Johnson; crisp yellowy/green Endive at Rachel Roy; classic beigey pink neutrals Oyster Gray Rose Dust (Victoria Bartlett at VPL, Catherine Malandrino, Cynthia Steffe, Ports 1961, David Rodriguez, Rebecca Taylor); and bold pops of Lipstick Red, Purple Orchid, and turquoise'y Lagoon, it would appear, according to the palette of Top 10 hues selected for inclusion in the Fall 2010 PANTONE Fashion Color Report that Granny is definitely taking a trip down 70s Fantasy Lane. "Psychedelic Woodstock color meets Park Avenue elegance, " confirms Peter Som when asked about his inspiration for Fall 2010, his must-have pick from the collection being a tie-dye lace top in Ombre Blue. For Tibi's Amy Smilovic, it's about "hero and heroine, Napoleon and Josephine, Samson and Delilah, " while Rachel Roy headed back in time to the "subtle influence of Egypt and the 20s - 30s. ". Several fashion designers, including threeASFOUR and Cushnie et Ochs created special window displays which combined their couture creations with the luxe laptop. Ultimately, that's the hook of the Vaio P series: a computer that seamlessly marries fashion with technology. Unfortunately, this union isn't always blissful. In the next few seasons you will see brands like Maharishi returning to the spot light as people start to look for the originators of the style, and this will be a good thing for the UK scene because the American market has really taken over in street wear and it has had a preppy look for along time. It will be nice to see that rebel British style returning, and with all the troubles in the world it might be a good time to get that rebel mentality back, in fact the world news might be driving this fashion because we are constantly being shown images of war zones. It would be nice to follow on from what Maharishi started in the nineties and take things that are used for war and put them to peaceful use by using them to promote the free thinking fashion lifestyle. . I think the fashion magazine does a pretty good job of presenting wardrobe basics as well as giving patterns for more trendy items. I always find several things that I want to make in each issue. The patterns I have tried have always turned out great and although the instructions are not as good as you get with individual patterns like Vogue or Simplicity.
