#10 Doggie Fashion




Meet Valentino the Yorkie. He is one fashionable pup.  He has a personal stylist that enjoys finding adorable clothing, myself. Since I have a brother, we call him Tino for short. Below, is a short clip of some of his clothes. I must warn you, he has tons of clothes!



Tino is our first dog and I had no idea how many retailers have clothing/accessories for dogs. Your dog can be as fashionable as you are! Below are a few retailers that do carry items.

#9 New Show Formats

 What would we do without technology?

Project Runway Season 8 was all about new technology and how we can incorporate it in fashion. With the new technology with HP Touch Smart Desktop it is now easier and faster to create a textile design. Just think, your fingers can be the next big textile design!

  
Below is also from Project Runway Season 8. This is the HP Touch Smart Notebook. The designers used the notebook to create there sketches without using color pencils/ markers or pencils/pens. This is also reducing the use of paper! Maybe one day we won't be using pencils or paper.

#8 Fashion Look Books

 

Watching the above video about H&M Spring/ Summer Look book, I enjoyed looking at the clothes.  I have not personally purchased anything from H&M, but these clothes look rich and expensive. They sure did get that image across to the viewers.  Most of the looks that were shown I actually would buy.  I liked how they had models walking and they also showed the back view. Having the models walking, I could see how the garment would move on a person. The music that was added to this video was great. If they didn’t have music, I would find this boring. Overall, H&M did a amazing job with this look book!

The next video below is also H&M. Versace has teamed up with H&M and this line with be hitting the stores this month (November 2011). This is very exciting!!!  This video does showcase both a collection for women and men. I must say, most of the video shows the women's collection and only a few looks from the men's. Some of these looks are a little too out there for me but all the black ones, I would definitely rock them. At the end of the video, they showed some of the men’s clothing…. These looks are way out there! Whoever who will wear these are a trend setter. I wonder if this will be as big as Missoni was for Target?

 

Nordstrom BP
 

This video above is Nordstrom BP (Brass Plum). This is the first department and retailer that I worked for when I was 16 years old. BP targets to teenage girls/ young adults.  Their price point is very reasonable and reminds me of Forever 21, but with better quality. This video is very creative and targets to their customers. I liked how this look book has a story and it’s something you won’t forget!
