Fashion Show Restaurant Reviews Collection

French designer probably most well known for his tattoo art-inspired Ed Hardy clothing line plans to buy MJ'shouse and turn it into MJ memorial. No, not Neverland I am talking about, it's the one he was renting for $100,000 a month in LA. The US based designer, known for his Von Dutch and Ed Hardy collections, plans to create a Jacko-themed complex similar to Elvis Presley's Graceland and to open it for public every year on 25th of June. The 50-year-old singer Jackson reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest at the Audigier mansion on Thursday 25th of June 09 and died hours later. Rather than renting out the seven-bedroom home again, the designer, who leases the estate from Ed Hardy CEO Hubert Guez, plans to relocate his headquarters there in December 09. Ok, if you are wondering about MJ being friends with Audigier then let me tell you, to quote a Michael Jackson song, "You Are Not Alone" Audigier apparently became fast friends with Michael in 2008 when the two made each other's acquaintance.

 Jackson even made an appearance at Audigier's birthday party. Well, as brief as their friendship was, Audigier now feels so inspired by his late friend's passing that he is buying the house to give a Tribute to the 'King of Pop' Michel Jackson. Just to inform you Colony Capital bought the California ranch in 2008 for 20 million pounds ($32 million) and is keen to sell. Never land is now worth an estimated 60 million pounds. Though its a nice gesture however the point to be considered is how the Jackson family feels about it.

 The Paris Couture Week has definitely witnessed some breathtaking designs and creations from the famed fashion houses. Unlike the previous collection, fashionist as present out there approved and accepted its new creation from the house of Valentino. Taking the design legacy forward, the designer duo successfully took over from their precursor Alessandra Facchinetti by presenting their second haute couture collection. The celebrated shade of red was found missing from the Valentino runway after the designer Valentino Garavani retired. And this time, the co-creative directors, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli chose black, beige, multiple variations of grey that include metallic and gunmetal as their color palette. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, who were the former accessories designers of the house are definitely taking Valentino in a totally new direction. With what Piccoli called, A story of shadows, the collection featured leggy dresses and miniskirts which came with ruffles, lace, in shades of blacks that provided a young, sexy and seductive look.

 Bustiers in nude tulle put the foundation of the two-toned collection, which was overlaid by panels of black peek-a-boo lace. The thigh-skimming skirts offered that perfect ladylike look. Taking the show ahead, the leggy dresses and miniskirts were followed by floor-length gown made from tufts of black tulle, teamed up with a beige bustier. Along with tunic dresses, the runway also witnessed some numbers of crinoline skirts that flared in the back. The designer used quite a bit of lace in chiffon and organza with encrusted and crinoline flashes. Some of the dresses had the simplicity of t-shirts, others came with short dance skirts, bustled and ruffled and sometimes glinting with muted silver beading. The detailed craftsmanship can be easily seen in each ripple and shadow layers of the tulle. The models were given a nude look with not much make-up. The headpieces with extravagant organza volume were amazing.

 Since the year 1978, Amrapali has become synonymous with fine handcrafted jewellery made of silver and gold. The fine craftsmanship and the original expressions are truly represented by the magnificence and the brilliance of every piece that Amrapali manufactures. Their Collection has a broad range for wearers who appreciate beautiful and delicate jewellery. Squares, circles, triangles, hexagons, cones and cubesThe designers at Amrapali lifted them out of the pages of geometry textbooks and used them to create an eclectic new jewellery collection called "The Magic of Geometry". Some pieces have a distinctly youthful, funky feel, while in some youll find symmetry and texture stylishly juxtaposed.

 Some are boldness personified, demanding to be noticed. Yet others are sheer fun, radiating an air of mischief. In each, geometric concepts are at the core. Even Euclid would have approved! "Geometry has always been considered as the first step while drawing or sketching. The collection can be worn with ethnic and western dresses and is acceptable universally. The unique feature lies down the fact that these designs are eternal and never goes out of fashion," says Rajeev Arora of Amrapali. The latest buzz in the fashion circuit is the emergence of two-toned jewellery. Designers in Europe, Turkey and Italy are all following this trend and I am proud to inform that Amrapali was the first to start this trend in Indian two years back, he added. On asking about future plans he said, "we are all set to participate in the JA Show in New York, going to be held from 26-29 July with our new collection. We will also be showcasing our collections at a jewellery trade event called International Jewellery London in September.

Dressup Games And Fashion Shows

Fashion shows are dressup games at their very finest. Some of the many games online include virtual fashion shows, but you can have even more fun creating your own version of a fashion show especially if you have friends over or a sister or two to play along.

 Start with the Dressup Games

 You can not have a fashion show without something new and exciting to wear. Dig through your dress up clothing in your play room and then go through your closet, bags your friends brought and perhaps your moms closet to find fun items to wear for the event. Plan out your fashions ahead of time and look for all of the accessories and detail you will need to make it a success.

 Hair and Make Up for Dressup Games and Fashion Shows

 Your next step is to get your hair and make up finished for the big show. Of course, this means that you will be doing each others hair and applying make up. If you are working with plenty of time to spare, perhaps at a sleepover, go wild with hot curlers and flat irons to make this a truly special event. Apply make up like the stars do with much glam and glitter. After all, you have to shine up on the stage.

 Preparing for the Fashion Show

 Speaking of stages, you will want to be sure that you have a stage to walk down as part of the show. You can set one up using tape or yardsticks down the center of a room. If you have a long hallway in your home, you are in even better luck. The stairs might also be an option, but be careful walking on stairs if you are wearing shoes you are not very comfortable in. It is probably better to walk the catwalk in the living room or wherever everyone is most comfortable.

 When it is time to actually start the show, someone should turn on the music and the fashion show begins. The first person marches down the catwalk in their stylish dressup games outfit and then she is followed by the next individual. You take turns walking down the runway with your various outfits on until you have run out of things to wear.

 You will need to change fashions quickly just like a real fashion show and do as much as you can to make the entire event seem real. Pretend there is an audience ready to review your walk and your style. Perhaps one person can even be the designer and dress everyone. You will want to take turns with this role, of course, to give all party guests a chance to be in charge of the dressup games.

 Recording the Fashion Show

 If you want to enjoy the fashion show more than once, you can easily record the whole thing using your video camera, or even a phone if you get it propped up just right. If you are at a slumber party, let one person volunteer to become the director and videographer. When it is all said and done, the best event of the evening might be watching the final product of the fashion show together the video.
