Early Western travelers, whether to Persia, Turkey or China frequently remark on the absence of changes in fashion there, and observers from these other cultures comment on the unseemly pace of Western fashion, which many felt suggested an instability and lack of order in Western culture? The Japanese Shogun's secretary boasted (not completely accurately) to a Spanish visitor in 1609 that Japanese clothing had not changed in over a thousand years.[However in Ming China, for example, there is considerable evidence for rapidly changing fashions in Chinese clothing.[3],Changes in costume often took place at times of economic or social change (such as in ancient Rome and the medieval Caliphate, but then a long period without major changes followed. This occurred in Moorish Spain from the 8th century, when the famous musician Zirya introduced sophisticated clothing styles based on seasonal and daily timings from his native Baghdad and his own inspiration to Cordoba Spain.[ Similar changes in fashion occurred in the Middle East from the 11th century, following the arrival of the Turks who introduced clothing styles from Central Asia and the Far East,The beginnings of the habit in Europe of continual and increasingly rapid change in clothing styles can be fairly reliably dated to the middle of the 14th century to which historians including James Laver and Fernanda Braudel date the start of Western fashion in clothing.[7 The most dramatic manifestation was a sudden drastic shortening and tightening of the male over-garment, from calf-length to barely covering the buttocks, sometimes accompanied with stuffing on the chest to look bigger. This created the distinctive Western male outline of a tailored top worn over leggings or trousers., , ,Marie Antoinette was a fashion icon,The pace of change accelerated considerably in the following century

the Origin Of Classic Womenswear Fashion Staples


Salt of the Earth: Fashion’s Big Bang

Although we are not all Vogue or Cosmopolitan subscribers, most are familiar with the glamorous world we know as fashion. However, what most may not know is this culture is credited to one important, albeit unglamorous group of people: the salt of the earth. From factory workers and sailors, to Indians and officers, the fashion world would not exist without these that fuelled its fundamental inspiration.

To elucidate the effect of these rugged roots, the following are six trends that show how this crew affected and continues to shape the fashion world as we know it.

Key A/W Items: A History

Jeans

Initially called waist trousers and typically made of denim, jeans were introduced by a man named by Levi Strauss and marketed as work garments because of their strong build in 1873. Only in the 1950s did jeans become popularized as leisurewear among American teens and later worn across the world in a variety of styles. Although sported in denim, jeans were originally produced in a lighter and softer weight fabric called jean. Due to its similar durability, jean has been used to construct workwear since the Middle Ages, where it was first spotted on sailor’s trousers and now gives the article its nickname.

Women’s Fashion Trend: Girl Meets Boy


Fashion is oh so fickle. One week, it’s high waisted. The next, hot pants and boy shorts are in vogue. And just a mere millisecond later, skinny legged pants are back in again. Oh, the frustration of keeping up! And as we clamour to get the latest feminine pieces stocked in our wardrobes, the fashion world has already moved onto the androgynous trend.

With boys dressing like girls and girls dressing like boys, this season’s androgynous trend is less about gender bending but more about gender blending. Not only did Givenchy’s Ricardo Tisci cast long time muse and assistant, transsexual Lea T as lead model for the brand’s AW10/11 campaign, Acne has now teamed with Candy (fashion’s first magazine to feature transgender and transsexual-themed content) to create a line of tailored shirts with cross-dressers in mind. Australia’s very own male model Andrej Pejic caused quite a commotion when walking for John Galliano and Paul Smith’s shows. His feminine face and long blonde hair left the audience wondering why a female model was cast in the Menswear presentation!

And who can forget Britain’s top model Agyness Deyn, a self confessed tomboy with her trademark cropped blonde hair and outrageous sense of dressing that we all wish we could pull off?

But this androgynous craze doesn’t just stop with the famous faces behind the clothes. Big fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Rick Owens, Karl Lagerfeld and Hermes have jumped on the bandwagon and are re-interpreting and re-creating this trend and taking it to a whole new level. If more women are working in traditionally male roles and vice versa, why not have our clothes reflect this too?

So if you’re ready to embrace the androgynous trend, here are some of our picks that would definitely make the boys at FashionBeans turn green with envy

London Fashion Week Women’s Day Two


Day two began with another early 9AM start as I headed off to the Old Sorting Office for Off schedule designer Bernard Chandran. After mistakenly thinking the show was actually at Victoria House, I finally took my seat front row just as the show was about to begin

To describe the collection like Marmite would perhaps be the most accurate analogy I could make. Some of it I loved, some of it I didn’t feel quite so passionate about. A vision of shimmering metallics, the collection featured a whole host of materials and textures, often mixed together within a single garment. Whilst this was an appealing factor in some cases, including a gorgeous layered ruffle dress, in other instances it made the look over complicated and confusing, not to mention, dare I say it, somewhat ‘economical’ looking. In addition, a further ‘marmite factor’ was without a doubt the footwear. Whilst I loved the winged design on the sides, the shoes appeared to be loosely tied and extremely hard to walk in. Several models stumbled around whilst one twisted her ankle in an incident which was, quite frankly, painful to watch.

From a beauty perspective, make up was most consistently metallic, including metallic lip gloss, whilst hair was styled in a bun to the side of the head

Women’s Fashion Trend: A Fur Fashion Guide

Winter is upon us (for those reading this snowed in – do not sneer at our observation) and this season we see fur up front. No longer just for the likes of the rich and famous but for us mere mortals who no longer have to suffer the cold in the name of fashion.

It has been all over the runways with faux fur being the biggest news of the fall, bringing luxurious guilt-free pleasure to those cold dark days.

Fall/Winter Fur on the Runways

With Milan, London, New York and Paris all showcasing fury cuts, it was undoubtedly going to be a huge success in the wonderful world that is fashion. With the copious amount of designs available it’s definitely not a trend that is going unheard on the high street either

How, what, where, when & why to wear fur

Whether it’s instant glamour or rock ‘n’ roll, fur has never been so easy to wear. With so many styles and options available there is something positively sure to suit every occasion, leaving no excuse for a Pat Butcher-esque reflection.

The Fur Coat

At first this might seem a bit risqué, but a fur coat doesn’t always have to scream, “look at me” (although with a range so cosmic and beautiful this might be exactly what you want).

  • For the office start subtle: Neutral tones, browns and beiges and team with a leather pencil skirt (another catwalk favourite), blouse and heels. Again, keep your look to a nude and natural colour palette to be hitting all the right marks.
  • To give you that rock ‘n’ roll edge simply go by the example of Cavalli and look for shaggy, unkempt cuts.
  • Finally, for a more glam-grunge everyday look, pick your favourite and team with this season’s hottest boots
