Fashion Shows
Fashion shows are usually put on by fashion designers with the intention of promoting ther clothing and accessories which are worn by models on the catwalk. The first exhibition... of such a show goes back to the 1900’s in New York. Back then, the purpose was to spark the female shopper’s curiosity in the latest Parisian fashion creations. This was happening in 1903 and by 1920 all over the United States themed fashion shows were taking place, often narrated.
Later on fashion shows specialized more and more, becoming a display of art, accompanied by impressive decorations and especially selected music to blend with the presentation and the complex stages.
Since the 1970s fashion weeks are organized, events that focus on presenting the latest designs from all over the world, from the most successful, popular and most acclaimed houses. These fashion shows happen in fashion capitals like New York, Milan, Paris, Rome, Tokyo and London. Many other fashion weeks are put on throughout the year in many other cities with the scope of promoting unknown but promising designers.
A fashion trend is presented each season which means fashion shows often take place from January until March and from September until November. These allow designers to inform retailers and the general public on the available trends for the next upcoming season in time for them to decide what to purchase and buy respectively.
Journalists, celebrities and photographers and other designers are invited to fashion shows, making them real entertainment programs. Because of the high interest in fashion, fashion channels are available for the general public, so you can have a runaway presentation in the intimacy of your home. You can choose from specific fashion shows with clothes ready t wear (prêt-a-porter), bridal fashion (for brides only), haute-couture or swimwear fashion.
Fashion shows are glamorous events that are regularly associated with charity events and special exhibitions of accessories and cosmetics. These are occasions for famous designer schools to participate in. Most acclaimed fashion shows – specifically Fashion Weeks - take place in New York, Paris, London, Milan, London, Los Angeles and Rome and bring together a myriad of celebrities, supermodels, designers and fashion magazine editors, with a massive media coverage.

Celebrity Fashion Style of the Month : Danity Kane-Celebrity Look of the Week Sarah Jessica Parker
The celebrity fashion style of the month is the girl group Danity Kane. Danity Kane is the hottest girl singing group around and their fashion is as hot as their voices. Danity Kane knows style and Diddy keeps his girls look right with the newest fashion trends and looks for young women of today. From their hairstyles to their clothes, they all have their own unique styles but find a way to bring their looks together as a group. Which is why Danity Kane is the celebrity fashion style of the month.
Celebrity Look of the Week Sarah Jessica Parker. We all know that Sara Jessica has style and she always looks super fab no matter what she wears. She's not afraid to wear something unique and different from the norm but this simple one shoulder white dress is the perfect look. Paired with black tights, a black clutch and a sexy shawl. I also adore the pop of gold on her shoes.

Style Star: Camilla Belle
For every the celebrity out there making fashion faux pas and dressing to simply start a trend no matter how outrageous the outfit, there are also underrated stars like Camilla Belle who in my eyes has never stumbled fashion-wise.
A Brazilian-American actress, I remember first watching her act with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic. She has grown up to be absolutely stunning and so stylish. In some manner she reminds me a lot of Margherita Missoni, always unique but classy at the same time.
She is also the face of Vera Wang's 'Princess' fragrance and has been featured on the cover of Teen Vogue, as well as several Miu Miu ads. She's a fixture on the front row seats of NY fashion week.
Vera Wang describes her as "a mix of real-girl coolness and unbelievable beauty." How apropos. An article in Teen Vogue describes Camilla's approach to fashion as "chameleonlike...frequently emerging from a project having acquired something new, stylewise." Indeed, Camilla is influenced by all that she experiences, and embraces the opportunity to dress herself instead of employing a stylist.
"When I was younger," she admits, "I had no interest [in fashion]. But after I went to Paris to see the collections for the first time a few years ago, they made a huge impression on me. I realized that fashion is an art form, like acting or painting."
Lauren Conrad's Designer Style
Not content to simply model her own designs, Conrad has been spotted all over Hollywood in pieces from Elizabeth and James. "I love that line," she says, citing designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as style inspiration. "I love that they take risks."
