ALL ABOUT FASHION

While Sao Paulo Fashion Week kicked off on Friday, the industry’s eyes have been on Brazil and its booming fashion sector for a few weeks already, specifically on Rio de Janeiro and its own designer showcase, Fashion Rio. The weeklong run of shows in the country’s second city traditionally precedes the higher-profile Sao Paulo collections. And in the first month of the new decade and with an increasingly competitive and crowded calendar vying for the attention of busy editors, the pressure was on for Fashion Rio to justify its existence.

Some voices have called for a consolidation between Sao Paulo Fashion Week and Fashion Rio. Others said that the fabled vacation and cruise destination should stick to what it does best, namely beach and casual sportswear. Even the event’s organizers, Luminosidade, signaled that it might be time for a refocusing: in a press conference held last fall in Paris, the organization’s president Paulo Borges promised to transform the week into a first tier platform where international designers would present their resort collections, a laudable if overly ambitious plan that, if it comes to fruition, may take years to implement.

Nonetheless, the real and positive news is that none of the drastic prognostications has, yet, come to pass. Instead, Fashion Rio wrapped up last week after one of its strongest seasons in years. In what seemed to be a concerted, silently agreed upon effort, the over two dozen designers that showed their Winter 2011/12 collections to an international audience proved that a radical organizational reinvention isn’t necessary to make a strong case for Fashion Rio’s continued importance. The overall message was that Rio de Janeiro is moving away from bikinis towards sophisticated sporstwear and doing it with unexpected self-assurance.

Among a motley (and admittedly uneven) assortment of shows, there were more than a few that would fit right in on the runways of Sao Paulo — and, in some cases, New York or London.

Logistically, Fashion Rio is already on par with these fashion capitals, with shows running on time and production values professionally high across the board. But a well-run week of fashion shows would matter little if what was presented didn’t measure up or have global relevance. Indeed, a few convincing trends prevailed at Pier Maua (a picturesque stretch of the city’s harbor where the shows take place) that are sure to reverberate on the international runways in the coming months.

To this observer, the biggest news from Fashion Rio were unequivocally bold prints. Strong fabric patterns were on display in a number of collections, most notably Márcia Queiroz, Alessa, Cantao and in the Pendleton-inspired guys-and-girls showing of British Colony. What made these prints fresh was their innovative application, particularly the way summery designs, even florals, were applied — and looked right — on warm, often layered fall-winter pieces.

Well-chosen prints were also a key factor in the success of the collection presented by designer Andrea Marques, perhaps the standout show of the week. The well-edited presentation worked on every level, offering a modern, chic and wearable women’s wardrobe that managed to be, all at once, reminiscent of the pre-1990s heyday of American sportswear, perfectly contemporary and somehow Brazilian in sensibility.

Ms. Marques’ collection delivered the definitive proof that, after this season, it will be hard to question Fashion Rio’s raison-d’etre. If anything, we may hope for a further qualitative and quantitative tightening of the schedule so that the event does not overlap with the Milan men’s shows like it did this season, to the chagrin of many international editors who had to leave one of the world’s most beautiful cities a few days early.

Suleman Anaya is a contributing editor at The Business of Fashion.

As I walk into the Milan headquarters of Etro, a name that until now I had always associated with paisley prints and perfume, I suddenly become aware of the candy pink, striped silk shirt I am wearing. It fits in just perfectly. Of course, I remember - it is by British designers Clements Ribeiro, but made out of an Etro furnishing fabric. It would look great as curtains, but the stiff, raw silk works even better as a shirt.

Clements Ribeiro are not the only ones; Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs and numerous other big-name designers have been using luxury prints from the venerable Italian design house for years. Why? "Etro are really good at meticulous printed fabrics," says Inacio Ribeiro. "Few can do it with their degree of precision. They have developed the paisley print and jacquard to a degree that nobody else has."

Since 1958, when Gimmo Etro began the business of rep- licating designs found on travels around the world onto lengths of cashmere, silk and linen, the name Etro has stood unashamedly for luxurious, bohemian textiles. More recently, the firm has started to produce its own line of clothes for men and women: the sort that requires peacock-painted eyes, and a chaise-longue - draped with antique fabrics and cushions picked up on travels from the Orient and the Middle East - on which to recline. With a recently opened shop on London's Bond Street, and the January release of The Wings of the Dove (an Edwardian-set film whose lavish, Oriental-inspired costume designs might have come straight from the Etro collection), this is a design house worth watching.

At Etro's Milan office - a fine example of Art Nouveau architecture that is filled with an extensive collection of sculpture, paintings, murals and furniture from the period - there are libraries full of antique paisleys collected by the family. Huge leather books bind together layer upon layer of fabric samples no longer in production. Collecting runs in the family. Gimmo, 57, collects everything from African masks and Art Deco glass to military uniforms. His eldest son, Jacopo, who heads up the textile division, is also an art collector, while middle son Kean, who designs the company's clothes collections, read history at Cambridge and collects 17th, 18th and 19th-century travel books.

Walking through Etro's warren-like offices, browsing through the textile library and pausing in front of a 1920s Japanese lacquered screen, you only have to breathe the air to feel inspired. No surprise then that Kean's daughter, Veronica - at 23, the youngest member of the family - earned herself a place on the fashion degree course at Central Saint Martins. She graduated last summer, after a stint of work experience at Clements Ribeiro, and is now being cultivated as a womenswear designer to work alongside her father. Ippolito, Veronica's uncle and the youngest of the three brothers, launched an Italian fast-food restaurant in New York, before taking over the administration of the family business.

The knowledgeable nature of this learned family - steeped in a love of art, history and textiles, and largely eschewing the pursuit of new trends - shows in their collections, which are packed full of clothes for intelligent women not afraid of indulging in a little pure, unadulterated sensualism. Etro's new London shop is in a similar vein: just the place for anyone who feels they have overdosed on unadorned utility clothing. From the shop windows - displays of mannequins topped with animals' heads - to the eclectic mix of print, texture, jewel-like colours and iridescent fabrics that hang on the rails inside, there is nothing minimal about it. That includes the price: over pounds 1,300 for a dress, pounds 55 for a pair of paisley gloves.

If The Wings of a Dove is a hit (and preview screenings suggest it will be), a public taste for its Etro-like style is likely to follow, and the company's luxurious kimonos in contrasting reversible fabrics, damask scarves, fading chintz wraps, antique-looking Chinese embroidered bags, velvet wraps with gold-leaf paisley, ikat prints, and rich floral velvet trouser suits will be on everyone's fantasy shopping-list. Dressmakers who are confident enough to cut into a length of Etro paisley viscose at pounds 135 a metre can buy material from Liberty and knock up something of their own. Others can look out for the tell-tale precision printing in designer collections. But if you really want to be a step ahead, invest in the real thing: a gold embroidered velvet Etro scarf to wrap around yourself, before everybody else sees the film and is inspired to do the same.

As a popular brand in the American fashion landscape, Michael Kors has launched its latest collection, ready-to-wear simple women dresses, complete with a style that always highlights the flexibility and simplicity. In his fall dresses collections, this famous American designer presents the beautiful leather zip dress and camo zip dress. This women dress is very appropriate if combined with other Kors collections such as Michale Kors handbags and watches. Michael Kors designed many outfits for actresses to wear on screen. Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett is one of the actresses who wore the Kors dress.

There was a moment at the Thierry Mugler show, just as Lady Gaga took the stage smoking a cigarette, when the entire season seemed to splinter into two starkly different halves: grandstanding showmanship versus grandly elegant clothes. Onstage, the audience was treated to a stylist and a pop sensation’s purview of fashion—for them, a universe where looking interesting and avant requires extreme measures. Which stood in contrast to what we saw elsewhere, which was, to put it simply, everything that is right with fashion at the moment: the beauty and simplicity of elegance, done in a way that women can readily interpret.

Gaga’s fashion director, Nicola Formichetti, is the newly appointed creative director of Mugler, and he was determined to bring a little fantasy back to the catwalk with his first women’s wear show for the brand. But for all the buildup, the actual sight of Gaga on the runway in Formichetti’s creations—primarily bodysuits with sheer paneling and exaggerated shoulders—was a bit of a letdown. I mean, where were the clothes? It just reminds us how different “real” women and celebrities are when it comes to their relationship to fashion. Stars use it to build an image; the rest of us look for clothes that connect with some inner part of ourselves—we need self-expression, not a fan base.

In the end, Gaga at Mugler proved just an amuse-bouche in a season that would come to feel like a scene from The Tempest. Later in the week, Christophe Decarnin was a no-show at Balmain; he left the company because of “work differences” (widely speculated to be stress-related issues). John Galliano, as we all know now, had just brought his career to an end with a bigoted, drunken rant. His highly publicized fall from grace stunned the industry; editors played snippets of the now infamous YouTube exposé on their iPads in the front row. Dior CEO Sidney Toledano publicly and elegantly spoke of the difficult affair before the company’s subdued runway show in a tent at the gardens at Musée Rodin. The wrenching awkwardness gave way to heartfelt appreciation at the finale, when the entire atelier of “mains” (i.e., the skilled hands who create the clothes) was invited onstage to take a bow normally reserved for the theatrical Galliano. A few days later, at Galliano’s self-titled collection (in fashion, the show must go on, apparently) beautifully draped plaid silk jackets and elaborately embroidered robe dresses made the fall of one of fashion’s greatest showmen seem all the more senseless. The designer, said to have been struggling with addiction for some time, quickly offered a public apology and is rumored to have decamped to rehab.

Needless to say, the vacuum at Dior sparked endless speculation: Who would be Galliano’s replacement? That announcement might not be made until the fall. Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy is the most widely talked-about front-runner, although it is hard to imagine the house of Dior finding its full measure of elegance in the hands of someone whose dominant tropes are Catholicism and gothic themes. Certainly, other designers who haven’t worked in couture but who understand the complexities of running a giant company, such as Marc Jacobs, must be in the running as well. Haider Ackermann was also favored by those insiders who have always appreciated his moody, soulful sophistication—conjecture that was buoyed by one of his best shows to date. Ackermann’s low-slung silhouettes, exquisitely wrought in draped teal and plum silks, had an edgy, yet painterly, appeal. Dior, a house originally known for reshaping the body in excesses of fabric, could find a wellspring of ideas in someone so like-minded.

But for all of the industry’s current unease, even high-octane drama couldn’t overshadow the beauty of the clothes themselves. Once again, this season, American designers held their own against their European counterparts. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler continued to shine, for fall exploring computerized jacquard prints in a renewed take on American Indian blankets and macramé skirts. Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte also used computers to reframe Americana, casting photorealistic images of wheat fields reminiscent of Willa Cather’s My Ántonia across their prairie dresses. Michael Kors celebrated 30 years in the business by rocking out to his own greatest hits: ’70s-inspired halters and slim trousers in jersey. And many relative newcomers—such as Prabal Gurung and Joseph Altuzarra—followed suit, offering their own strong visions of the season’s return to elegance. Shapes were softer and less strict, though still exuberant. In New York, as well as Paris and Milan, the patrician, razor-sharp edges that have dominated the last few seasons gave way to softer shoulders and longer below-the-knee lengths that at times had a retro quality—whether it was ’90s grunge (Richard Chai Love); Depression-era prints (Louis Vuitton) and shirtdresses (Jason Wu); or postwar ’40s padded shoulders (Miu Miu). Other, more jocular details from each of those eras—puffers, parkas, metallics, feathers, bugle beads—made appearances, too. Even the LBD (Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani) reemerged on both sides of the Atlantic.

The menswear moment is still holding steady, with stiff, mannish coats at Jason Wu and Céline, plus dusters, cutaways, and oversize boyfriend sweaters worn over flowing skirts and pin-straight pants elsewhere. Another ’90s staple, the perfecto motorcycle jacket, is back, with variations seen at Junya Watanabe and Marni. And fur sleeves (Peter Som) along with sleeve-and-collar combos (Burberry Prorsum) seem to be a common answer to the question of how to handle fur—back, this season—in a modern, relatively price-conscious fashion.

Come fall, pants, while still a major trend, will have some competition in the form of skirts. These came in every iteration from peplums to kick pleats; many, like those at Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, have sheer linings playing peek-a-boo beneath their hemlines. Delicate chiffon layering at Narciso Rodriguez and Gucci was a big statement, reminding one of how elegant seductive dressing can be in the right hands. But for all its refinement, the season was not without its novelties. On the lighter side, dots and paillettes offered playful counterpoints to hourglass shapes in lace at Marc Jacobs and simplified silhouettes at Stella McCartney. Meanwhile, Rick Owens and Giambattista Valli played on more monastic notions of outerwear with cropped and full-length capes. Elsewhere, long panels flowed off the backs of coats, conjuring a mood of ancient nobility. And speaking of medieval, in her fourth women’s collection, Sarah Burton has stepped fully into the shoes of Alexander McQueen, with a mouthwatering collection that had the audience all a-Twitter (literally) about whether one of her feathered-fur or frayed-organza gowns would make its way down the abbey aisle April 29 on Kate Middleton.

Perhaps one of the most exciting trends this season was a return to classic couture shapes of the late ’50s and ’60s. Junya Watanabe showed finely crafted leather jackets over full skirts, while at Jil Sander, Raf Simons mined the cocoonlike shapes of Cristobal Balenciaga in a lineup of voluminous padded dresses and coats, hooded ski sweaters and cigarette-slim stirrup pants. Meanwhile, at Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière reworked the skirt and oversize fishnet lacing to create a new, relaxed silhouette that was one part schoolgirl, three parts bourgeoisie. He finished off the effect with Pierre Hardy’s rococo-detail shoes and bags, which looked as if they could have been unearthed in the models’ grandmothers’ closets, somewhere on Avenue Foch. The result was a phenomenal group of simple shapes that had a youthful spirit, perfect for any woman in search of easy clothes that will make her look good without standing out. In my book, that’s the epitome of chic.

Elegance and splendor of Pakistani Bridal Jewelry

Elegance and splendor of Pakistani Bridal Jewelry

Fashion statements may change with the span of time, but Pakistani bridal jewelry is considered as an evergreen fashion trend.

White is easy to carry whether in the form of a Kurta that you can wear on your jeans or a long dress along with Churidar Pajama, which is our desi version of skinny jeans.
Churi Pajamas are the traditional fitted Pajamas being worn in India and Pakistan for a very long time.

How to pull off a look that wouldn't be amiss on Mad Men's Betty Draper, but do it without the feeling of costume? This shoot by Carmen-Rose has a inkling: it's in the silhouettes and the details. Kim Phan's styling sticks to 50s and 60s style dresses that have slender silhouettes, or fuller skirts that are pleated to fit perfectly with 2011's trends

Edgy yet classic in Tank

There's only really one way to describe Chloe Kerman's styling on this shoot: and that is brilliant. Now of course styling, in a fashion sense, is always time-relevant and to that end the point is not necessarily to create some long-lived masterpiece. It's a visual one, perfect for the moment it was created in. It's not styling that's complex. It's not styling that's editorially out-there. But it hits you, and it hits you for being not too much and just enough and for pairing things like a crochet bralet with a high split skirt, bright red lips and a danglin

g cigarette, the edgy and the classic.
