Women's Halloween Costume - What Is Fashionable?

Halloween costumes for women are a huge industry filled with many different choices of character for the ladies. The costumes have evolved into more of a fashion statement, not only for Halloween, but too many times during the year, for example, women may be wearing their costumes to dress up with parties' parents or on another occasion as St. Patrick’s Day. Quality Halloween costumes have become so advanced that a good suit will last for many years.

A good costume can help women take advantage of their alter egos with many women opting for sexier option, like the classic French maid costume, sexy costume or a bar girl, and of course the ever popular school girl costume. Days of a "witch" has fallen far behind, and it's no surprise really, women throughout the life they want to look your best and feel attractive and sexy, so Halloween costume was forced to become something more sophisticated women and girls of all ages.

The fashion industry has seen this gap in the market, and if you have enough money you can buy clothing Halloween most famous names. Accessories for Halloween is also very popular, you can buy all kinds of wigs and masks that match the characters you are trying to portray, but when it comes to an outfit for women is more likely that a wig of a Mask. Halloween wigs are very important for women especially if they try to become the character to say, Marie Antoinette.

A Halloween costume for women has been designed and chosen by the woman to bring out the best person to represent how they feel inside. If a woman feels a bit rebellious, so maybe go with a pirate costume, a little sexy, so maybe French maid costumes and, of course, more vulnerable to adapt to a princess this also tended may mean that "She feels she should be treated like a princess all the time.

Dress for women is great at any stage, it is particularly good for Halloween, because now we women have an excuse to do so and we can spend a lot of time and energy to get there. Whatever clothing we choose, it should make us feel sexy and beautiful and make a second side less seen with our personalities, after all, Halloween is only once a year and gives us the perfect excuse to leave go a little.

Gianni Versace - Part 2 (final)

After GV’s death, the stylistic control of his company passed in the hands of his sister, Donatella, who had been his collaborator for years and worked with him on some of his collections. His brother, Santo, is also involved in the administrative and business management of the company. This transition of leadership has only minimally modified the Versace approach to fashion. Donatella has undoubtedly contributed her own personal vision to the “Versace” look, but she has moved forward in the spirit of aesthetic research that has always distinguished the company. She has been particularly successful in her efforts to the young client, with collections that increasingly reflect the spirit of the times and which reinterpret and “upgrade” the canons of street fashion. The consolidation of the relationship between fashion and rock music has also had a significant influence on the Versace look. Rock was a great source of inspiration for Gianni, but it has become a true leitmotif for Donatella. Her collections abound with musical references and icons, and she has also become involved with the growth of young rock groups who as as authoritative spokespersons for youth styles. “Thinking about tomorrow” and “daring to be” are the two fundamental guidelines that have marked the success of the Versace collections, past and present.

Gianni Versace - Part 1

“I have no desire to give lectures on the subject of fashion. I put my money on feelings: wear it and enjoy It.” – Gianni Versace

Ah yes, GV, as he was fondly known back in the late 80s and especially among a group of young and enthusiastic catwalk models that was getting more and more influenced by the fashion icons of that era.

I must admittedly say that I belonged to that group of young models that treated “Cosmopolitan” like a Bible for the fashion believers! Though it was rather expensive buying each months issues but I had to have it no matter what as I loved fashion, modeling, the images, practically everything about the fashion world and I was only 19 when I first enrolled into a modeling and grooming school to learn the skills of modeling and social etiquette and behavior. It was worth it because it has taught me things that I don’t see happening in current modeling agencies.

Enough already about me, I started to write about Gianni Versace because he was one of the international fashion designers that I loved and admired. First of all his designs back in the late 80s early 90s were captivating, sexy, seductive, feminine and yet independent and individualistic. Well that what I gathered when I see his designs with the roman print, embellishments and silhouettes. I adored him and his design; his models that he knew would make such an impact wearing his designs like Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista. But I want to share more about him and read on so maybe you could learn something new that you didn’t know about GV.

Gianni Versace’s talent was immediately evident with the presentation of his first tow collections, one designed for Florentine Flowers in 1972 and the other for Callaghan in the following year. Versace, then twenty-five years old, had been breathing fashion since his childhood, which he spent partly in his mother’s dressmaking workshop. As a young designer, he advocated and expressive freedom which set his work apart and which would make his name synonymous with daring, provocation, and the aesthetic sublimation of desire. It has been said that he rewrote the logic of appearances.

GV’s importance to the history of fashion lies mainly in his having carried the seduction of the unusual to extremes. He did so by audaciously introducing stereotypes of vulgarity in the world of haute bourgeoisie – lunging necklines and miniskirts, sheath dresses, and gaudy accessories – and by using apparently improbable combinations of fabrics, colors, and prints. Throughout the 80s, GV’s style created a new fashion-media relationship, helping to establish an icon of a life-style, and reinforcing the importance of clothing in the social imagination. Asymmetrical cuts, layering, draping, optical designs, metallic mesh, and the use of studs and lace are some if GV’s aesthetic “inventions” that have become his trademark. He was also one of the first designers to totally reinvent certain materials. In his winter collections of 1983/84, he replaced the weave in his tweeds, creating a striped effect, and in his 1994 collections he experimented with printing on polyurethane and the use of rubber. His desire to reinvent materials led him to explore previously unthinkable combinations such as leather and silk, jute and gold, metallic mesh and faux gems – working always in the service of a feminine aesthetic.
