BOHO HEADBANDS!!

The beginning of headbands had started from the ancient Greeks who wore hair wreaths. The Greeks and Romans wore these pieces to very special occasions or an important event. Cultures such as the Etruscans and Romans started to decorate their wreaths with jewels made up of gold and silver. While wreaths are certainly a likely beginning of today's headbands, some believe that current day hair bands have slowly taken shape from scarves that were worn around the head or were modified from the band of hats that tied under the chin.
Down the ages, Wearing of these headbands has changed from being worn to special occasions and important events to more of a fashionable accessory.

The Bohemian Vibe is back in the form of head bands!!! So get out there and buy youself a piece or two... Or you can easily make one yourself!!

HEAD GEAR WITH FEATHERS

My love for Head gears has evolved from my reading of Coco Chanel's history in "The Life and Legend of Coco Chanel" by Justine Piccardie. Chanel was a miliner once in her life before she started her fashion designing business. A wonderful book really!! It is a MUST-buy, MUST-read book. I recommend it for anyone interested in Fashion and how Fashion has evolved through the modernist period into our post-modern world. And indeed, our very own "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Caroll gives us a clear picture of how mad a person can be when it comes to Hats... I'm not saying Head Gears are Hats, but both have the same origin as we might as well have known... Do read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hatter
"There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter."

These head gears are not mine nor are the pictures. But if it belongs to anyone, I will willingly delete them... I am just filled with so much passion for head gears right now and the past few months... "Black Swan" movie has also pushed me so hard to post this one here on my blog... So here I am... Hope ya'll like it.

Feathers aren't meant not only for sexual purposes, just so u know... They're meant to make you look more sophisticated, given the circumstances of wearing them as head gears... and of course, with a little bit of class and glamour!! Oh yes, CONFIDENCE TOO!!

These head gears make me speechless... so speechless indeed... wish I could grab some of them and actually wear them...

Current Fashion Trend - Spring-Summer 2009 THE JUMPSUIT

Today's fashion world is a place where power and sophistication gain important grounds. These two highlights give a description of the modern woman who is filled with power and elegance, who is not afraid to take the next step towards sophistication. The jumpsuit is one hot current fashion trend which sums up all the needed agreements for a modern woman who is a fashionista. There is a very interesting thing about this trend which originally reffered to the utilitarian one-piece garments used by parachuters and skydivers. The introduction of this suit into the fashion world was formerly done by Haute Couturiers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Rudy Gernreich and Vivienne Westwood among others.
Among the current fashion trends in today's fashion world, Jumpsuit is clearly an indication that power craves for attention. We've witnessed the comeback of the trend in most of the Fashion Weeks around the world. Karl Lagerfeld's jumpsuits contain sophistication which goes along really well with shiny leather belts.

At the same time, Alessandro Dell'Aqua's jumpsuits have their feminine touch with sensuousness

.
Dolce & Gabanna, however, takes a step backward and make their jumpsuits look chic, yet stylish.


We have a more dramatic touch with Alexander Mcqueen, presenting his jumpsuits with technical demonstration.

More drama is on the way with Maison Martin Margiela's jumpsuits which contain elusive and vague expressions.

A jumpsuit must fit perfectly and define the waist and it is a must to take care of the footwear for there is a risk of looking like a mechanic. Chanel's jumpsuits define this characteristics in its own sophisticated manner.

Moreover, Salvatore Ferragamo and Stella Mccartney have their jumpsuits look fashionably refined.

Young and fun-loving look is what topshop and Betsey Johnson tried to sell their jumpsuits with.

Collette Dinnigan's black jumpsuit is a statement in itself



and so is DKNY's.


This Jumpsuit has a very humble beginning as a workwear. But it has been elevated to the realm of high fashion. This suit offers an all-in-one outfit appeal that has made the dress a retail hit for the last few seasons.
