Sleeveless Chic

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:09:00 +0000

Layering is one of the most interesting ways to transform looks and keep current - and a most needed resource during the colder months. Waistcoats, sleeveless tops, gilets and vests are key and become the cherry on top of a well-layered fashion ensemble. Mixing different textures, lengths, thicknesses and styles is the way to go and will create striking end results every time.
Eclectic is this season's motto.

The Fall of the Skirts

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 02:09:00 +0000

Skirts: the epitome of chic and femininity are as strong as coats this fall. Focusing on the short side (knees abound) and full of detailing, a whole outfit can be produced around today's skirt. Accompany minis with the myriad of tights available or the all mighty thigh-high boots and you will be ready to enjoy the leafy season as if it were warm and sunny all day.

A short jacket or coat continues the frisky attitude while a longer or oversized one creates an unexpected balance: layers will provide the perfect temperature while adding character to the outfit. It's all about experimenting and finding a nouveau allure for the season, so don't be shy.

The Studded Way of Life

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:55:00 +0000

Should studs still be considered a passing trend? Over the seasons their versatility has surpassed the punk rock scene proving their importance in fashion. Studs have become a way of life, adding attitude and modernity regardless of the garment. They are equally able to become the cherry on top for an elegant ensemble or the witty contradictory element on an otherwise straightforward piece.

Best of all, studs' 80s reference is no longer needed, they have officially become part of the current way of life.

Jacket Power: an Outfit Dissection

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:17:00 +0000

A jacket can make or break an outfit in a second. It serves as an instant label of the style that is trying to be conveyed. It can be contradictory, balancing or entirely matching to the rest of the ensemble. You can be wearing the exact same pieces and the jacket you choose to go with them will create a fashion sense the others cannot.

Take for example, a polished and sensual one-shoulder dress in black (Alexander Wang), a retro inspired bag (D&G Dolce & Gabbana) and a pair of modern cutout booties (Dolce & Gabbana). Put on a strong-shouldered leather jacket with a snakeskin pattern (Miss Selfridge) and your sharp look is now Biker Chic. //Contradictory

Mix a ruffle front silk blouse (See by Chloé) with a pair of indigo boyfriend jeans (Topshop), a metallic handbag (Tylie Malibu) and patent leather sneakers (Converse). Counterbalance the comfy romantic look with a straight and structured peaked shoulder jacket in black (Sportmax) and create a Classic Edge. //Balancing

A midnight rocker look consisting of black stretch leather leggings (Vanessa Bruno), an oversized sequin tank (Sass and Bide) and studded peeptoe shoe boots (Steve Madden) is made complete with a relevant starry tuxedo jacket (Markus Lupfer). //Matching

This fall, the power jacket is the master of outerwear. Structured, with simple lines, Balmain-inspired strong shoulders and full of character, the jacket has become a trend in itself.

Heritage Chic

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:36:00 +0000

Be it outerwear, blouses, jewelry or accessories, the pre-fall mood is powerful, retro and playful in one. Inspired by various decades and evoking pure nostalgia, heritage chic is a true statement of uniqueness and versatility that can be seamlessly applied to the modern world. When mixed with minimalistic fashion pieces, the character of this style comes to life. Expect this trend to stay strong for the rest of the Autumn Winter season and make it yours by having fun and experimenting with it.

You and Your Boyfriend Blazer

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:48:00 +0000

It seems that the "I-just-borrowed-it-from-my-boyfriend-and-went-out-the-door" mood is everywhere. Boyfriend jeans, shirts and even shoes are now a constant in the shops, but are they as easy to adapt to the rest of your wardrobe as they seem?

Even when the trend has been named after men, the true size and fit on you should never be overlooked. The sure choice of the pack? A long and straight-fitting black blazer made out of supple fabric such as this one by McQ will make your outfit effortlessly elegant and on-trend.

Best of all, a classic black boyfriend blazer will take you seamlessly from summer to fall and forward without succumbing with the trend when the word "boyfriend" is no longer attached to it.

How to pull off a pair of harem pants: An Outfit Dissection

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:28:00 +0000

Opinions on harem pants have been divided ever since they made their appearance on the fashion runways a few seasons ago. Other terms you might have heard include zoave, lungi, jodhphur, dhoti and peg pants (half harem pant). Whether you consider them a must-have fashion item or view them as an unwanted eighties remnant, the truth is that harem pants are much harder to look good in than a common trouser.

Their different aesthetic make them a strong statement on their own, so the rest of the outfit should be chosen carefully. Black non-shiny harem pants are the best choice as they don't stand out as much and will not widen your silhouette as easily. Choose lightweight fabrics that drape elegantly and naturally as well as a drop-crotch that is not too low. Below, we present you with a few proven options that will help you make the harem pants look flattering: a cropped or fitted jacket, a well-fitting non-slouchy top (a sleeveless style provides more balance) and a pair of strappy or feminine sandals (heels work much better than flats as they will elongate you).

Inherently ultra comfy and slick, not to mention extremely on-trend for the rest of the year, once you find a pair of harem pants that fits you well and the right pieces that seamlessly complement them, it will be hard to let them go.

Nude: The New White

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:47:00 +0000

Black and white have proven to be permanent fashion statements. However, as seasons go by, new hues surge as true alternatives to what we already love and know. Cream, pale rose, light peach, beige, ecru, off-white and their derivatives have become more than neutrals, nudes have become the new white. When paired with black, the result is so chic and natural that white is left out of the picture.

Be it for easygoing or elegant outfits, the new white is so simple to carry off that it will become your new fashion ally. White will not stop being a classic, but a less stark, fresher and equally effective alternative is here to stay.

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sun, 31 May 2009 03:38:00 +0000

The New Denim Jacket

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Thu, 14 May 2009 03:12:00 +0000

A denim jacket doesn't have to be predictable and uninspiring to be worn with everything. Structured, full of character and body-conscious are required attributes for any piece you plan to wear constantly. Mango's Denim Jacket represents this entirely by giving a contemporary edge to a well-known garment. This might even be considered a simpler denim version of the trophy jacket, one that is able to speak for a whole outfit.

While the distressed and stonewash look might whisper 80s, this jacket has been designed to create a style that belongs only in the 21st century.

Florally Vintage

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 04:42:00 +0000

Flowers have been an eternal form of expressing our most natural side. A way of coming back to one's roots, of making a pause in an ever hectic world, of breathing new life. This season, a touch of the past has been added to the mix resulting in a nostalgic and fresh interpretation of spring. This trend is a pleasure to pair with more modern styles or keep organic when choosing neutral pieces that make the floral pattern come to life by standing out.

This is best of two worlds united in one exciting fashion trend.

Here, There and Everywhere

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:15:00 +0000

Fashion might not unite cultures, but it does represent the possibility of being a citizen of the world. Full of color, artistic and intricate, ethnic patterns and fabrics are the season's most natural ways of expression. French Connection's Oriental Cotton Dress and Accessorize's Bangkok Bag are fresh, elegant and best of all, relevant in today's world. Make them your own by mixing unexpected urban pieces and embrace being everywhere in spirit.

Why You Should Dress Up when Feeling Down

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:17:00 +0000

The natural reaction when waking up feeling blue? Putting on the most comfy clothes possible. Wanting to be at ease when feeling down is of course desirable, but frumpy should not be confused with cozy since it can backfire at you. We often dress like we feel and attention must we paid since what we end up wearing could in fact deepen our negative outlook. This ultimately means that a sloppy selection can end up making us feel sloppy when we least need it and so the vicious cycle continues.

The solution? Go closet shopping and select pieces that yes, are comfortable and easy to wear but will serve as an instant pick-me-up. The actual process can be fun and distracting but don't stress if you're not in the mood of creating a new outfit from scratch, you can always resort to something that has made you look or feel great in the past.

The outfit you choose will be interacting with you throughout the day and can therefore transform your mood. If it doesn't feel right, you will be uncomfortable or self-conscious all day. If it's lively and uplifting, chances are you will end up believing it and feeling likewise.

Clothes are great tools for faking attitudes and you can always fake a positive one to trick yourself.

Luscious Contradiction

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 04:13:00 +0000

Contradiction is present everywhere. A fine reflection of it is Stella McCartney's undeniably current Cupro Bomber Jacket. Gorgeously silky yet easy to understand thanks to its simplicity, this piece represents ambivalent feelings that take form depending on who wears it and her state of mind. Is it casual or modernly elegant? That answer will vary constantly: much like your take on a glass' half-emptiness or half-fullness.

The question remains: Is it gray or silver?

A Transitional Season Outfit Dissection

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:13:00 +0000

Finally: spring is almost here. The first rays of sunlight are starting to be seen and become our rays of hope amidst turbulent times. Creating an outfit that works well right in between winter and spring is not easy. Our inspiration for this outfit dissection comes from three key pieces: a great Plaid Blouse by Matalan, the beautiful Sara Flap Over Bag by Nica and See by Chloé's go-gaga-for Cut-Out Panel Wallet to go inside it. With just these pieces, our outfit is pretty bare, but is just enough to built a great one around them.

Not quite warm yet for an airy outfit? Choose an ever-convenient Pip Cropped Tuxedo Jacket by Twenty8Twelve to keep you warm, add a great pair of Skinny Jeans by All Saints and Topshop's to-die-for Cut-Out Shoes with contrasting ankle socks. For accessories, a Turquoise Rose Necklace by Forever 21 and Giles & Brother's wonderful Spiked Brass Oxide Bangle are enough.

When sunshine finally comes, make a few adjustments to your outfit core by adding: Diesel's fresh Cotton Blazer, a beautiful pair of cropped Silk Trousers by Stella McCartney and the comfy-yet-stylish Mock-Croc Sandals by F-Troupe. Grab Dorothy Perkins' Graduated Wood Bead Necklace and Banana Republic's Square Bracelets and you are ready to go out in the sun.

It's all about making key pieces work with any season or weather and renewing your look by mixing and matching pieces you already have with seasonal ones.

The Stripe Upgrade

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:15:00 +0000

Stripes are recurrent, easy to carry (when placed right) and irresistibly stylish. The Silk Jacket by Zara represents just that and more. A mix of rose salmon and black stripes give a subtle and elegant touch to a well-known punk-inspired trend. The understated round collar invites for a contradictory voluminous or frilly one (think bows or ruffles) from a top underneath; while the modern folds the jacket ends in complete a well-rounded 21st century look.

Coincidentally or not, a very similar fabric can be found in the Fendi dress featured in our first-ever issue. A wonderful design choice in either piece.

Rescue an Outfit: Adopt a Belt

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:07:00 +0000

Interested in creating a new look without having to invest a fortune or replace your wardrobe? Reinvent any outfit by dressing up your waist with an eye-catching belt that speaks for itself. Juxtapose styles by making unexpected combinations and break the usual trend patterns. Experiment and find new heights in your everyday wear and start breaking old habits.
After all, there's always room for change.

Spring Preview: Modern Safari

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:13:00 +0000

The shirt dress has proven to be a practical garment that adapts effortlessly to a variety of contexts. The Seersucker Safari Dress by Zac Posen is an equally subtle and modern example of this concept. Its inspiration is set in a romantic safari ambient and is naturally and flowingly cut for spring. Easy to transform from day to night, it will also remain relevant throughout the year by adding a few bohemian layers to it. Edge it up with stronger pieces such as a leather jacket or gladiator sandals for an eclectic look.

A Lover's Day Inspired Outfit Dissection

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 23:29:00 +0000

For good or bad, Valentine's day is just around the corner. Whether it means the world to you or it's simply another winter's day in your life, it's hard not to be part of the sugary time. In fashion, there's always something for every mood and personality, so there's hope for both types. The outfit core is made up of three balanced pieces: 3.1 Phillip Lim's Ruffled Leather Jacket (feminine with a rocker's edge); All Saints' Deadblooms Tee (Victorian-style modernity); 3.1 Phillip Lim's Peg Pants (easy-to-wear trendy).

Depending on your current lover's day outlook you can either make the outfit cool with a touch of brown sugar by adding: Marc by Marc Jacobs' Leather Slouchy Tote and Boden's Jewelled Pumps, or chocolate-covered and hard-core romantic with the help of: Miss Selfridge's Frilly Shoulder Bag and Kurt Geiger's Ribbon-tie Heels.

It's all about slightly adjusting the outfit core by making simple choices...much like choosing between bittersweet and white chocolate.

2009 Trend: The All-in-Ones

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 02:33:00 +0000

Although probably not picked out at first by most, play or jumpsuits are all this year's rage. Inspired in a predominantly 80s trend, they are now becoming relevant for the 21st century.

Both Chloé's Double-breasted Playsuit (left) and French Connection's Cotton Jumpsuit (right) are worthwhile examples of how this trend has been adapted to our current mindset. Unquestionably comfortable and fashion-forward, these two pieces are easier to welcome to our wardrobes than it seems. The gathered waists are fortunately different from the original cuts and provide a feminine detail that deters the 80s worker's look.

Prefer a no-fuss and more elegant version of the all-in-one trend? Go for Chloé's version and add a long cardigan or blazer and a waist belt for simple instant style. While French Connection's details add interest, beware of the bulk-adding pleats and ruching and style it accordingly by choosing slim-fitting jackets and no-frill accessories.

Don't forget to showcase your favorite heels with it to keep the proportions in place...the tapered and slightly cropped legs were designed for them.

Aurora Red: Pantone® Fall Winter Fashion Color 2008 - 2009

Full of energy and universally appealing, it's easy to coordinate it in more ways than one.

Go ahead and make a strong turnaround in the new year with this hue's inspiring warmth and drive.

Spring Preview: The Sweet yet Modern Dress

denkuniverse@gmail.com (Estefania Nava) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:28:00 +0000

There still might be a few months left until spring, but some great pieces are already making a strong statement. The Heart and Flower Dress from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel will surely become one of the most coveted dresses of the season. Its luscious red hue makes it sweet and romantic while staying irresistibly edgy thanks to the detailed pattern blocks and contrasting fabrics. Sonia by Sonia Rykiel's use of pattern has become one of the greatest contributions to the current trends and it is still going strong.

Cannot wait until spring to wear it?

Just add opaque knit tights, a long chunky cardigan and some ankle boots and you are good to go.
