25 Most Influential Style Icons in Music Industry

Last June 1, 2010, Elle named the 25 most influential style icons in the music industry. These musicians were not only successful in singing memorable songs but they also gained their spot into fashion world. Find out who belongs to the list!

Lady Gaga

Of all the modern musicians, Lady Gaga is perhaps the most provocateur. Her numerous fashion statements can be stereotyped as "weird" but they helped in boosting her popularity. A lot of masks, hair bows, bubble dress, Kermit the frog dress and many more have been sported by Lady Gaga.


Rihanna

Rihanna became one of the pop's fashion elite. From a beach girl, she had been the face of Gucci, worn Yves Saint-Laurent, Elie Saab and Jean-Paul Gaultier.


Madonna

When you review Madonna's singing career, you can observe that she surely had a look of style overhauls. In 1985, she sported thrift-store wardrobe and changed into Jean Paul Gaultier’s gold bustier during 1990s. She had also worn tweed and purple leotards. Nowadays, Madonna preferred polished and demure dresses.


Beyoncé

Beyoncé usually walks onto the red carpet in dresses by Cavalli or Armani. During the 2008 MTV Europe Awards, she surprised everybody with an edgy number from Gareth Pugh.


Gwen Stefani

When Gwen Stefani entered the music world with her "Nod Doubt" band during the 90s, she sported crop tops and cargo pants. Later on, she combined modern glamor and vintage pin-ups that inspires her L.A.M.B. fashion line.

2010 Cannes Festival Fashion Styles: Day 1

For the first day of 2010 Cannes Festival, celebrities posed with their stylish looks at the red carpet. I bet paparazzi were busy snapping their photos. Perhaps everyone can say that Cannes Festival is the most stylish among film festivals. Want to have a proof? Read the rest of this entry to know the fashion styles of celebrities who attended the premiere of Robin Hood.

"Fashion is general. Style is individual."

I am so excited about all the different fashion related movies which are being made or released this year!

In this post I am going to take a look at the many up and coming fashion filled films...

Up first is "Coco Avant Chanel" which in English literally means Coco's life before Chanel. Audrey Tautou (who in the unlikely event that you don’t know her is from Amelie, The Da Vinci Code and the amazing Chanel No.5 commercial) plays the lady herself.
It is the story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel's rise from obscure beginnings as a cabaret singer to the heights of the fashion world and the start of a brand worth millions.

It is out in the UK on the 31^st of July and I can’t wait to see it!

Next up is “The September Issue” which is a documentary style film which follows Anna Wintour and the rest of the Vogue team as they pulled together the biggest fashion issue ever in 2007. It weighed 5 pounds and was and remains the best selling issue ever with over 13 million copies sold.
It is released on the 11^th of September in the UK and I am intrigued to see what the famously cold and conservative editor, Wintour, is like behind closed doors.


There are also confirmations of a film being made soon about the famous designer Vivienne Westwood with Kate Winslet reportedly being set to play the great fashion Dame. I am not sure about Kate playing the punk queen but I guess I will have to wait and see.

Also Ridley Scott is set to start directing a film based on the rise and fall of the Gucci fashion dynasty. Find out more information on the film here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/dec/06/fashion.italy

Finally there is “Beyond Biba: A Portrait of Barbara Hulanicki” which is a documentary out this week on Biba, the brand who brought fashion to the British high street in the 60’s.

I will definitely be seeing all these films as soon as they are out!
It will be fascinating to see all these world renowned designers in a whole new light on the big screen...

Man Fashion: Are You More Savvy When Come to Men Fashion?

In this financial turmoil, I am sure everyone are cutting down to their spending on men fashion clothing, so the first and direct impact will be all the big guys on the streets. Some of the stores reported sales was down by 30% as compare to last year, and this even expanded to most of their online stores too, Gucci, Guess, D&G, DKNY you name it.

It does not mean people are cutting down their buying, but just some change of buying habits. SourceWire reported that Men’s discount designer fashion website sees a 20% increase in traffic during this period.

Managing Director of Fashion Hunt, David Card comments on the increase in visitors:

“People are still spending money on the things they want, they are just being a bit more savvy when it comes to where they buy. The Fashion Hut has seen a 20% increase in visitors because people can buy designer fashion very reasonably, shoppers are changing the way they shop and discount stores are benefiting from that.”

So are you more savvy and change your buying habits lately? Give your opinion in my poll.

Man Fashion Designer: Alexander McQueen Latest Fashion

If you think of any fashion designer in Europe, the first that strike my mind is Alexander McQueen. With his countless provocative shows and outrageous designs, Alexander McQueen has created his style as the "Bad Boy" of fashion. The designer's potent mix of creativity, controversy and technical mastery has earned him three British Designer of the Year awards as well as a faithful celebrity followers such as David Bowie and Prodigy's Keith Flint.

Spring 2009 Collection

In 1996 he was named the role of chief designer at Givenchy. Feeling creatively stifled by the couture house, whose founder he dismissed as "irrelevant," McQueen left Givenchy in 2000 and has since joined the Gucci group.

Man Fashion: Gucci 8 Limited Edition Beijing Olympic Designs

As we know, the Olympics are being held in Beijing this year. Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini created a line called 8-8-2008. Her eight (totally over-the-top) souvenir items were designed to celebrate this year's events.



Of course, the one that caught my eye was the "China red" cruiser ($3420)! Besides that, the line includes a $3150 Mahjong set, a panda bear stuffed animal, dog tag necklace, two pieces of luggage, a red wrist banded digital watch (the brand's first digital timepiece) , and red suede sneakers for both her and him.

Huang Xiaoming is also the first Asian model for Gucci. He's looking pretty good in the ads, too! But if I had a choice, I'd definitely choose the bike over him.

I did some research and the number "8" means prosperity in Chinese. These items are only sold in Gucci stores in China and Hong Kong.

Man Fashion Show: Gucci SS 09 Review

Typical summer shades seemed far from the minds of numerous designers at the beginning of fashion week.

That was, of course, until Frida Giannini injected some unbridled life into the proceedings.


At Gucci, bold stripes and elaborate florals were found on ultra-slim pants and variegated styles of that true Gucci-jacket which now seems ubiquitous.



Giannini aimed to convey 'youth and luxury' – which also meant soundtracking the show with indie-favorite 'Time to Pretend' by MGMT.

Not only is Giannini reminding us of the archetypal Gucci aesthetic, she is also making clear her distinct lack of vision for the development of this line.
