Since I where in the fashion industry in away, by often blogging about these pieces and things that are related to the world of fashion. I think, its time for me then to give some information I know in regards on how does this fashion industry works. Well, this all began on those fashion designers who does this really huge and deeply understanding about the fashion thing, though they have this natural passion on the fashion that can made themselves an enthusiast, but I think, technical in fashion must be learn too in the any fashion schools who offers it.

Yeah, you’ve heard it right, that fashion is an also a long process wherein you’ll have to know the deep and technical of it. And throughout school for fashion and with some books of those big names in the fashion industry today you might be on this field too soon. However, sending your self in any fashion school is not really a joke. Because this too much expensive to manage I’m telling you! but of course you can still be educated on this by just having your rent textbooks . Yeah, you can rent instead than having yourself an expensive fashion book. Because this company called campusbookrentals.com is now offering an textbook rentals in all field of eduction( and yeah even in fashion) that is way cheaper than to others. So – what are you waiting for? rent a books now!

Converse All Star Trainers

One of the most popular footwear of all time would have have to be the Converse All Star trainers. It’s just a simple looking footwear, but most can attest that it’s the sneaker that never runs out of style.

The Converse All Star trainers was first manufactured by Converse Shoe Company in 1921. Originally, it was designed for casual use and the design was not nearly perfect. Until such time that Charles “Chuck” Taylor joined the company’s basketball team and promoted the shoes to the public. He helped further in improving the design to provide comfort, patch for ankle support, and flexibility so that it can be used for basketball. Thus, the shoes became known as “Chuck Taylor’s” ever since. It was widely used in the sport of basketball for almost 4 decades (1920’s-1960’s), but it was reduced to a fashion item in the later years. Still, it is one iconic shoes ever made.

I like the Converse All Star trainers for 3 reasons:

1. All-in-one shoe – it can be worn on almost any occasion. I can
treat it as my everyday shoe, I can use it playing ball, and it goes
well on semi-formal and formal events. The versatility of the Converse
All Star trainers are endless.

2. Made with the highest standards – the canvass upper and rubber sole
the shoe is really durable and it can stand the test of time.

3. A medium of expression – I love customizing my Chucks, painting it
with cool designs, changing the laces, and sticking some accessories
to make it look more fabulous.

And that is why Chuck Taylor would always be a part of my collection.
It’s a one of a kind shoe that’s sometimes imitated, but never
duplicated. It truly is my kind of shoes.

Top spring footwear trends for men

by admin

With good weather on the way it’s time to ditch the Chelsea boots and Uggs you’ve been wearing all winter and swap them for something a little more suited to the season. Here’s our pick of the catwalk’s top styles for SS12.

1. Deck shoes: Comfortable, practical and infinitely stylish, just the mention of deck shoes manages to conjour up visions of long days sipping Pimms on sun-soaked marinas. You may not own a private yacht, but for a comfy casual look deck shoes are still seriously on-trend. They needn’t cost you a fortune either – Next has a great section of deck shoes in various styles which won’t break the bank. If you just add one pair of shoes to your wardrobe this spring, then this should be it.

Multi boat shoes from Next, £28

2. Espadrille: Once only suitable for wearing to the beach, the espadrille is now a spring/summer style staple. Wear with cut-off trousers or shorts plus a blazer or jacket for best effect. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the runway this season hosted a range of espadrille-slash-brogue hybrids that gave a twist to this traditional look – you can see a selection on the GQ Magazine website.

3. Heels: If you’re on the small side then news of this trend will be music to your ears. We’re not, obviously, talking transvestite-style stiletto heels, but subtly built-up soles are all the rage this season. Prada works this trend on everything from brogues to desert shoes – even its sneakers have small platform heels.

4. Saddle shoes: Two-tone saddle-style shoes are set to be hot for spring/summer. Wear them in suede or leather, and don’t be afraid to go a little crazy with the colours. The tan and lime green combination seen at Mark McNairy is a fresh twist on the trend and is sure to be much-copied on the high street.

5. Penny loafers: The fashion crowd turned their backs on these classic shoes when they started being seen in back-alley clubs paired with white shirts and too much hair gel – but this year penny loafers are enjoying a renaissance. The key to working this look is to keep it classy. Navy leather loafers with red soles from Tommy Hilfiger are in. Faux leather versions purchased from your local market stall are not.

Looking Good With Swanthorpe

I am a guy who loves to dress up and I can be very picky on my wardrobe. Dressing up appropriately is very essential as it brings out our character and it is very important in giving a good first impression to the others. We should never force ourselves to dress up clothing that make us uncomfortable. I always watch what I wear whenever I go out from my house, to work or to the malls. I love to put on a coat so as to give me extra comfort especially during cold weathers. There are days when I have to do some presentations at work and I make sure that I wear the formal type of coat to so as to look smarter and giving a good impression during the meetings with my clients. Therefore, when it comes to formal or informal wear, I would love to go to this website that offers these stylish Outdoor Coats for all occasions. They have a wide range of attire to choose from and not only that, their prices are very reasonable as well.

Wearing a proper coat can bring out a character in us and one can feel more confident and comfortable in the outlook appearance. When it comes to official meetings and presentations, I will make sure that my attire will bring out the confidence and trust to my clients, what I wear will sort of reflect in my character and outward appearance. It is very important to portray a look of confidence to others especially when it comes to official matters. I used to tell my friends this…”It sure feels great to look good!”

Actaully, this collection has been already released last year,2011, but so happened that I just recently saw this that’s why this quite late then to blog over this site,istarblog.com.. LOL But anyway, this still includes on the brand, Acne Men spring summer collection as for this year,right? so, this still hot thing on today’s fashion I believe!…

Anyway, one thing that Ive been noticed for this brand spring summer collection, wherein they’ve also focused with sandals for men that I found unusual thing, why? Because usually, brand like this are only focusing into those creations and pieces instead of some accessories like the sandals we’re seeing on the Acne Men SS collection on the top photos. Because consumers are more on clothes in regards to the fashion.. But still, Acne moved against in away on what other brands usual did on their new set of season collections.. So, for this, I really admired the brand, Acne, for making their own trademark in the market today..

Regarding on their creation, I must say, they just have these simple but rocking pieces and they’ve dont more played on the colors by this time. I think, this brand is trying to create an way different finds that can leave trade on today’s fashion. Because they used to made some way different things..hahha Just only my own opinion though.. I dont know to the other fashion enthusiasts out there on what they do thinks about this brand spring summer collection..

So yeah.. these are the pieces that we could expect on the brand, Acne Men, for this Spring Summer season.. will update you more to this blog soon…
