Fall 2010 Fashion Trends – Masculine Meets Feminine

One of the hottest fashion trends for the Fall 2010 season is the combination of masculinity and femininity. This doesn’t literally mean that women should start wearing manly blazers with pinstripe pants, but pieces which add strength and structure will look amazing.

Masculine Mash-Up

There is no question that the hottest fashion designer of 2010 has been Alexander Wang and the inspiration for this trend can be traced directly back to his Autumn ’10 runway show. The Alexander Wang collection consisted of sexy pinstripe suits and elegantly deconstructed ensembles which resulted in chic menswear for women.

Other designers approached this trend in a less literal manner by adding structure to their collections while mixing hard and soft looks. For instance, Ralph Lauren paired a men’s vest with a romantic blouse which had puffed sleeves. Diane von Furstenberg also illustrated this trend by combining a bolero which had been covered in beautiful rosettes with cropped pinstripe pants.

The designers also inserted a sense of masculinity to their clothes with the use of classic tailoring techniques. This approach was seen on the runways of Donna Karan with her innovative boyfriend coats. What exactly is a “boyfriend coat?” Just picture it as a man’s coat which has been styled and shaped to fit a woman’s body.

The masculine-meets-feminine trend became most apparent in the designs for formal wear. Typical evening attire consists of gowns, cocktail dresses, or something of that nature but this year, women’s tuxedos made an impact. These weren’t your typical penguin suits, either. These tuxedos took things to the next level with unique fabrics and embellishments such as the Phillip Lim gold lamé design.

China College Fashion Trends 2011

When you step into any one of colleges in China, you can find that there are various dressing styles.  As most of the boys in China are not so keen in fashion, it’s hard to tell which style of dressing they are.  However, things are different in Chinese girls.  Every time you see a Chinese girl, you can easily tell the style of her dressing.  Actually, the dressing styles, or we say China fashion trends of college girls can be divided into three categories.  I will tell you one by one in the following part.

The most common one is ‘Japanese style’.  The major feature of this kind of style is cute or we say ‘kawaii’ in Japanese.  If a college girl wears a t-shirt with a big hello kitty on it or a pink backpack just as the primary school kid’s, there is no doubt that she’s following the Japanese style.  The popularity of Japanese style is actually following the daily-better relationship between China and Japan.  But the political issue is not our key point here.  Not only because of the frequent cultural communication between China and Japan, but also because the Japanese culture is basically based on the traditional Chinese culture although we can see many innovative change here, like the miniskirts or sun-tops. 

]]>

Then next style arises only in this decade along with the popular TV series.  Obviously, the trend I mention here is the Korean one.  Chinese even coined a local word ‘Hanliu’ for this special fashion trend.  We can use a key word to describe the Korean style: the Girl Next Door.  How can we define the dressing of a girl lives next door?  It always means that it’s comfortable, looking good but not so exaggerated as the Japanese style.  Girls may carry the little elegant hand bag with them or wear the hairband with a bow on it.  Instead of being sexy, girls in this style seem more accessible to others. 

Last but not least, the western style.  This trend has the longer history than the two we mentioned above, however, it’s not adopted by the majority of college girls in China.  The major reason is that we Chinese girls have different builds from the western people.  You can find that college girls who have preference for this style are mostly tall and thin like models.  They wear super miniskirts to show their slim figures or huge coats to outstand their arrogance.  Actually there is a minor trend that’s not easily discovered by most people, the campus trend.  Students in college are no longer required to wear uniforms which makes them cherish the memory of that dressing..  That’s why campus trend appeared.  It’s rooted in the western dressing style since they have the most beautiful uniforms for student in high schools.

China College fashion trends is actually the combination of the three kinds of styles from different countries as I mentioned above. Next time if you have time, you could come to China and walking around in the Chinese Colleges, you will find it very different from yours.

Teen Fashion Trends, are They not Useless Lifestyles?

One thing for sure, teens want to dress according to their interests and affiliations. Unlike grownups who wear clothes depending on their upbringing, their work environment and social standing in the community, some teenagers wear clothes to identify themselves with somebody who is famous. Usually, wearing branded clothes would give them a sense of belongingness to that star and his distinct group. They might be the yelling fans or the silent admirers. But in adopting that fashion trends, they feel to have belong to the same group. They are the teenagers who feel that the clothes they wear would more popularize these stars and that they could benefit from such fame having been identified to them. This is the reason why designer clothes being endorsed by actors, actresses and pop stars are becoming selling hits.

Other teenagers feel that wearing clothes with its distinct cut would identify them to a certain type of set; whether they are hip hop, the sporty type, the romantic type or the alternatives. Through fashion, they had successfully revealed their true personalities; unlike the grown ups who weighs other factors, the teens’ fashion trends are clear manifestations of the teenagers’ true selves.

The teens’ wholehearted devotion to follow teen fashion trends are considered by some as mere extravagance. Not all teenagers are that rich enough to spend money on apparels in order to catch up with these trends. But creative teenagers have their own ways of fulfilling their passion, and others know how to sacrifice their allowances in order to buy the clothes and accessories just to be “in”.

The need for teen fashion has reached its competitive level in schools especially during the opening of classes. Here, the teenagers are likely to wear the latest trend, for this is the time to find a great new look and these teenagers feel that they are the ones. Do first impressions last? Yes. And these teens are scampering who can impress their peers first.

Teen fashion trends have become a lucrative business that capitalized on the insatiable appetite of the teenagers for distinction. And do you know that teens are behind the success of these companies? Most companies are not only using teens as models, they also optimize multi-talented teenagers. The comments, suggestions and ideas for new designs are made by experts with the assistance of these talented young people. Promotional blitzes including those well crafted fashion shows are done to suggest that teen fashion is really a part of the teens’ lives.

To some people, catching up with the teen fashion trends are just useless lifestyles. They won’t do any good except as a way of showing off that these teenagers have money to spend for these expensive clothing. Why go to the extent of catching up with new styles in order to be identified? Each one has the capability to be known, the ability to excel above others.

Whether the teenagers want to catch up with teen fashion trends or just wear any appropriate clothing, what is important is that these teens must work hard to become successful individuals. These teens do not only want fame, affiliations or distinction, they also want success and fruitful lives.
