As a result, these fraudsters simply robbed of the monarch, assumed the gold, silk and other luxurious materials – they were only pretending that they were weaving and sewing clothes from fabric, which supposedly could not be seen by stupid and people who do not occupy their place.

At the same time models that cannot be considered as outwear in the true sense often cost much more than their opaque counterparts, as a contribution of Couture to the art of High Fashion.
In the past, we have already written about the transparent trend, popular in recent years, but in the collections of 2009, this trend manifested itself in full. Now, designers, along with amateurs and connoisseurs of fashion, openly and sincerely admire the amazing transparent clothes on the catwalks and on the stars, not out of fear for their reputation.

Introducing you to the fashion trends of spring-summer season of 2009, we call your attention yet to another group of fashion trends in light jackets and coats.

Sports jackets and coats
Sport line has recently been all the more prominent on the catwalks, so it is only natural that the trend is becoming one of the most popular in the spring-summer 2009 collection, especially in the modeling of daily jackets.

Denim coats and jackets
The global financial climate has markedly changed the weather in the fashion catwalks : so, for example, in denim clothing, despite the experiments of some brands, in general, any fancy new directions are not expected – in the spring-summer season, designers have more confidence in the classical models, well-established in the market.
Indeed, traditional forms, of course, past some modernization, look very attractive.
“The simplicity and convenience in all” – if you are close in spirit to those words, the denim jacket is sure to become the number one thing in your wardrobe.
Moreover, the range offered is simply huge – it is broad and shortened silhouettes in the style of the 1980′s, and the models with the finishing stitches in the style of the 1970′s, as well as different versions of denim color: bleached, faded, and the effect of processing.

Of course, vivid, unusual models were presented on the catwalks of high fashion, but no one expects great success from them among the mass consumer.
Among the models making commercial success, there are several major trends.

Light shapeless cloaks

The softness and lack of structure are the key characteristics of light spring and summer coats, creating elegant, feminine image of gently rounded shoulder line, short or 3 / 4 sleeves and a belt, emphasizing the waist.

Summer coats, raincoats
Last impressions of 2009 summer season collections are limited to a small number of summer coats, as in this season designers’ attention was devoted entirely to light waterproof models.

Metallic
As in the past spring-summer season, popular color is metallic, giving the image brightness, glamour and modern femininity.

Vivid colors

Of course, the bright colors in outerwear of spring-summer season are actual trends of 2009 as well.
This can be an extraordinary cloak for extravagant women from Nina Ricci – whether a dress, or coat in orange, light pink and gray colors.
And maybe you will more like monotonous Trench up to the knee – bright yellow from MaxMara or bright blue from Celine, or color blocks proposed by Marni.

Comfortable, functional, but incredibly beautiful clothes – this is the formula of style, which is reflected in many models of SELA. In the women’s collection hits are combined with basic things. Reach harmony, where the basis of style is simplicity and convenience. Combining these two concepts, designers invented amazingly concise collection, creating a great many combinations. In winter collection especially is emphasized jersey, different in character, style and purpose, but with a high percentage of wool fibers in the composition. Winter clothing should warm not only the body but also the soul. This purpose has lead to nice and original findings. Knitted braids, all kinds of patterns, including, and the most popular strip, printed drawings, give the product a vivid character and offer the ability to look relevant and effective. The most prominent model of this trend is a jumper with geometric patterns, dress with a voluminous shawl collar, sweater collar, slim knitted dress with a large hole. The bestseller can be considered a knitted coat with a hood.

Accessories are also performed with respect to this trend. Knitted beret, soft scarf, gloves, all kinds of high style – are really winter accessories. They are very practical and comfortable. The variety of headgear has a line of models: berets and hats, decorated with weaving, ornaments, sequins and decorative flowers.

Palette of the winter collection for women is filled with various shades of gray, purple, green and crisp. This color slumbering nature, always gives the image of femininity and charm. Such nuance in clothing is almost everything.

Practical and mandatory for the winter wardrobe trousers – are the perfect backdrop for knitting extravaganza. This mandatory wear can be suitable for most women today; this winter is different with its universality. For those who gravitate to classic style, fashion offers wide pants, and as an alternative to it strict narrow ones, as well as velvet trousers. They look sexy, but at the same time practical.

Convenient, but not boring – this is the best choice and the optimal combination for a long winter. In SELA’s collections skirts always play an important nuance – waist line is strictly defined. Clothing again praises femininity and emphasizes the waist. In addition to classic trapezoidal skirts, as well as skirts with narrow silhouette, designers have attracted the attention of the tulip-skirt, narrowed to the bottom of the bell skirt, the cylinders skirt. They usually slightly cover the knee. Beating length in its own way allow tights, including colored or with a relief pattern – but always tight.

SELA coats and jackets are traditionally considered to be experts in this field, offering an interpretation of all relevant models of the season. The real hit of the winter coats will be a trapezoidal cut, as well as a coat-jacket or coat.
It is very elegant, but at the same time very much in the spirit of the residents of large cities. It is decorated with exaggeratedly large collar of various forms and buttons in two rows, the model will fit perfectly in the cloakroom townswoman, especially if she does not conceive of its existence without a car. Another preference of the season will be a short jacket, where the dynamics of style athletic cut expresses the desire for convenience. Palette – vibrant red and orange and tangerine. There are jackets and coats decorated with it, as well as with linings of bold colors.

As for materials, here we have to choose from a variety of knitted and crocheted versions, perforated from suede lace-trimmed fabric.

Gloves to the elbow

Centuries of experience of hand-made and rich cultural traditions of this country have allowed shoes “Made in Spain” become a real fashion trend.

The severity of 40′s. 40’s, quietly assert in the last seasons. Suites made of dense cloth, knee-high pencil skirts which highlight the line of the waist and broad shoulders.

We know that stylish clothes give women attractiveness and self-confidence. Is the pregnancy an exception? Moreover, clothing for pregnant mothers is now becoming very necessary. Stylish and glamorous, funny and comfortable – clothes for pregnant women are not just necessary, but also pleasant. Pregnancy does not mean “ugly”; people also say that pregnant women are the most beautiful in the world!

There are even boutiques for pregnant women, where you just stand with your mouth open: you can see unique clothing made by famous designers and from the finest fabrics. But don’t despair: you can buy expensive clothes to look great but also not to buy anything and still look dazzling. So what’s the secret? Many women find clothes for pregnant women with inconceivable discount – in discount stores, during the sales and in the Internet. After all, you expect a baby not too long, and after the baby is born these clothes will not be suitable for you..

So, when choosing clothes for 9 months …

•  Buy things for the season: in winter you need warmth and comfort, while for the hot summer free cutting and light flowing fabrics are optimal.

•  Even the most stylish clothes, not fitting as needed during pregnancy can cause severe discomfort. Choose clothes of your size: not too tight but not so free to make you look shapeless.

•  Begin to buy clothes after the fourth month of pregnancy. By this time you will know the estimated size of stomach. But don’t rush into buying the whole clothing: you’d better but things for the last months later.

•  Do not forget about underwear. Many women’s breast expands during pregnancy, so those bras, which you were wearing six months ago, may be small by the mid-term.

•  During pregnancy your legs will tire quickly and need additional care. Choose comfortable shoes on a flat underside. Unfortunately, fine shoes and sandals with thin straps are not too suitable for pregnancy. But after giving birth, you will surely come back to them!

•  Let your wardrobe be diverse: buy a blouse and jeans or trousers that can be combined with each other, getting a lot of different options for each day.

•  Be sure to complete your wardrobe with strict evening dresses and suits that look for a million.

Men’s fashion week has already started in Milan. New collection of the Spring / Summer 2010 was demonstrated by the world’s leading brands such as D & G, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Armani. The main hero of D & G fashion show became Madonna’s beloved Brazilian model Jesus Luz.
The next season’s trend is still a classical elegance. Many designers have also offered a model in the style of nonchalant chic. Modern men of fashion are not forbidden to wear jackets on the bare body, torn jeans, blazer with elongated sleeves, looking from under jackets and shirts three times longer than the jacket.

Giorgio Armani (Giorgio Armani) has always been very consistent and moderately elegant. Shirts in thin stripes, narrow ties in the style of 80′s, asymmetric notches, cut jackets complex, original shoes, as if from an American movie screens – these are the main notes in the collection of Emporio Armani P / E 2009. The main “decoration” of the fashion show of the great Italian designer was his invited guest Fergie (American singer).

The third show in Milan was held by Burberry. The creative director of the Brand, Christopher Bailey, said that the new Spring 2010 collection reflects the general mood of economic downturn. All the things are elegant as always, but not bright. Burberry collection is an image of a typical English day: first, it’s raining, and after comes the bright sun. But in general, everything is done in a very modest way, if not say restrained. Basic materials are cotton and flax. A jacket with a printed pattern and glossy finish, as well as bulky redingote and shiny boots also looked very nice. It is very courageous and gorgeous at the same time.

The sexiest collection in Milan was presented in the fashion show of Donatella Versace. Creation of Dolce and Gabbana was balanced between the everyday elegance and refinement. GF Ferre represented his collection with a lot of white things. Among the accessories of 2010 are not only the traditional leather belts and purses, but also bags and objects of various shades, which can be carried in hand or over the shoulder.

New York has once again confirmed the title of one of the world’s fashionable capitals and cities, where unique new designers are very often born. On 14th of May was held the original show of clothes and headwear Tulips & Pansies: The Headdress Affair in New York. The main materials that were used in their production were fresh and artificial flowers. 17 fashion designers and florists such as Tori Birch, Ralph Ruchchi, Pamela Roulend, Cynthia Steffen, have already been taking part in the eighth annual show of Tulips & Pansies, demonstrating more than just stylish outfits.

Every florist in collaboration with a certain designer created original and decorative headdresses, which were the main decoration on the models. The collection was made from lilies, orchids, roses and even palm leaves. The unusual headgears were the main accessories attracting the attention on the fashion show: bright, colorful, sometimes reaching 1.2 meters in height, resembling a bird’s nest, a basket of flowers or a wreath of Cleopatra.

After the show the live auction of hats began; all the proceeds were dedicated to the charitable fund project Village Care, which is helping urban hospices.

Among the most remarkable hats shown during that day in New York, were a live broad bed of red roses, surmounted by three succulent sunflowers, lush composition of fresh herbs and wedding pictures, bridal veil of white lilies, tea roses and wild orchids.
