Spotlight Saturday - Kim Kardashian & Vera Wang

Kim Kardashian is in the spotlight once again as she was seen leaving fashion designer Vera Wang's bridal shop with none other than Wang herself.  It has been stated that Vera Wang is quite chummy with the Kardashian clan and even designed the dress Kim's sister Chloe wore when she wed basketball star Lamar Odom.  The reason Kim's in the spotlight today is because of the hideous leopard jump suit she was spotted wearing.  Speculations have been rising as to whether or not the piece is a 'Wang'? Whatever/whoever it is, it's nothing short of disastrous!  And for that matter, what the heck is up with Vera with the shorts over slacks and not to be too bold but seriously with the 'no bra', you are not 15! I'm throwing her in the spotlight too! What were ya'll thinking?!

Fashion In Film Friday

Even though it's absolutely over the top risque', the 1997 film 'Boogie Night's' about the sex industry in the 70's, totally captured the feel of the fashions for that time period.  The movie centers around the lead character, Mark Walhberg who plays Dirk Diggler for reasons I need not explain, but let's just say it's kind of a biography about the life of the late John Holmes who was the 'it' porn guy of the 70's to early 80's before losing his life to AIDS.




Besides the amazing soundtrack that hosted all of the popular tunes we know and love, the costumes featured were on the mark, and so much so that you actually believed it was filmed in the 70's! 




The two lead female characters (porn starlets) played by Heather Graham as 'Rollergirl' and Julianne Moore as 'Amber Waves' had the ability to take us back to the days of butterfly collars, knee socks, handkerchief hem dresses and platform shoes!  Not since Saturday Night Fever has there been a movie that influenced current fashion trends as much as Boogie Nights...







The styles of the 70's were pretty laid back.  Clothes were comfortable and non constricting.  Here's some ideas on how you can get down with your own Boogie Nights inspired wardrobe!

Spotlight Saturday - Unflattering Fashion Fail For Kim Kardashian!

The Saturday Spotlight's is on Kim Kardashian  and we are shining the light bright on her unflattering fashion fail as she was recently photographed filming her reality show in West Hollywood.  I don't know which of the many Kardashian related shows it was because this Kardashian truly is hard to 'keep up with'...but nonetheless, she was seen wearing a belted, cream colored, stretch silk harem jumpsuit from designer Catherine Malandrino that she paired with a colorful clutch by Balenciaga and Givenchy booties.  I give a two thumbs up to her exquisite choice of accessories, but there is so much wrong going on with this shapeless bunchy looking one piece that it doesn't really make a difference.  It's no secret that Kim Kardashian has a curvy figure (i.e. baby got back) and with that being said, it would be in her favor if she chose more figure enhancing styles.  When you are 'hippy' so to speak, the last thing you want to do is wear something loose and baggy which in turn will give the illusion of extra weightiness.  There is nothing wrong with being voluptuous, however it's a huge misconception by most women that wearing bigger, looser clothes will make you appear smaller when actually, it's quite the opposite...

Fashion In Film Friday

In 1977 John Travolta's role in the classic hit movie Saturday Night Fever about a troubled Brooklyn teen trying to make it as a dancer, shot him to stardom as an instant sex symbol of the 70's.        


  
Besides popularizing disco music around the world, the fashions in this film started a major style trend with synthetic fabrics that gave four star status to nylon and polyester.  This was the time of butterfly collars, bell bottom pants and handkerchief hemline dresses.  Clothing was comfortable and most of all danceable!




This style is still, and always will be quite universal so much so that it even made it's way to Suneet Verma, the Delhi based designer who closed the Lakme '10th Annual Fashion Week' last year with his 'Night Fever Collection'.
His pieces included silk georgette net and organza of the late 70's & sequin sheeting of the 80's. Staying true to the theme, his show was full on with mirror balls and Donna Summers/Bee Gees disco tracks!



Whether you love it or hate it...DISCO is never gonna die!!!
