Prime Minister of UK
"Minister in the U.K. Pushes to Ban Photoshopping and Underweight Models
By Amy Odell
U.K. equalities minister Lynne Featherstone will hold a series of meetings with fashion magazines and advertisers to discuss ways to promote images of healthy bodies to young people. Featherstone believes underweight models shouldn't be shot for ads and editorials, and that the images shouldn't be retouched. She would like to see health warnings on digitally altered images so viewers know they aren't real. "Advertisers and magazine editors have a right to publish what they choose, but women and girls also have the right to be comfortable in their own bodies. At the moment, they are being denied that," she said."

Couture, the dying art.
I briefly mentioned Couture in my last post and I would love to talk about it more.
One of the first things that pops into my mind, when I think of fashion,
is Haute Couture, alongside, Models and Magazines. Now, I did some research to find out what "true" Couture is, and here are some sniblies, of what I found
"Haute couture (French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking"; pronounced [ot kutyʁ]) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing."
"In France, the term haute couture is protected by law and is defined by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris based in Paris, France. Their rules state that only "those companies mentioned on the list drawn up each year by a commission domiciled at the Ministry for Industry are entitled to avail themselves" of the label haute couture. The criteria for haute couture were established in 1945 and updated in 1992.
To earn the right to call itself a couture house and to use the term haute couture in its advertising and any other way, members of the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture must follow these rules:
Design made-to-order for private clients, with one or more fittings.
Have a workshop (atelier) in Paris that employs at least fifteen people full-time.
Each season (i.e., twice a year), present a collection to the Paris press, comprising at least thirty-five runs/exits with outfits for both daytime wear and evening wear.
However, the term haute couture may have been misused by ready-to-wear brands since the late 1980s, so that its true meaning may have become blurred with that of prêt-à-porter (the French term for ready-to-wear fashion) in the public perception. Every haute couture house also markets prêt-à-porter collections, which typically deliver a higher return on investment than their custom clothing [citation needed]. Falling revenues have forced a few couture houses to abandon their less profitable couture division and concentrate solely on the less prestigious prêt-à-porter. These houses, such as Italian designer Roberto Capucci, all of whom have their workshops in Italy, are no longer considered haute couture.
Many top designer fashion houses, such as Chanel, use the word for some of their special collections. These collections are often not for sale or they are very difficult to purchase. Sometimes, "haute couture" is inappropriately used to label non-dressmaking activities, such as fine art, music and more.[2]"
"Haute Couture should be fun, foolish and almost unwearable" Christian Lacroix
Now, from this I have gathered, a little more about the true art of Couture.
So, I must say and many have said it well, I feel that Couture is a dying art.
Fashion is not in general dying, but it seems so different from the younger ages.
I have always thought of Couture, fashion in general, as crazy, out of the box, something you so on Runways and Magazines, but now I feel as though its on the streets to. Its not as special, it used to mean something to have a bag by Louis Vuitton or Chanel, but lots of people have them now. Fashion is still special, and a different world, but I feel it drifting mainstream, and that saddens me.
Couture especially, each year, I wait and wait for the Couture collections to come to see what fantastic ridiculousness, the designers have come up with, an each year, I see fewer and fewer names on the list of Couture Collections, and the ones left, aren't as crazy as I hoped.

On to winter
So far from the Couture Collections and the Fall Collections I have been through,
what i have caught it fuzzy boots. (seen at: Chanel and D&G, also a shoot)
Animal Print,seen in a few shoots and a few shows,
nothing major yet... but it wont be long, befor it catches on.
Also, something today just caught my attention,
Sock Garters. Yes, I said Sock Garters.
They are not big yet, but I feel a wave coming on.
(seen at: Kate Slyvester, Alexander Wang and Swan Clothing)
Also, we had this western thing going, and though it has faded a little,
it is still hanging on. Cowboy hats.
Also, These big puffy sleeves, and big fuzzy jackets,
seem to make an appereance in nearly every show.
As well as with the Couture shows.

Summer Trends
Summer is halfway through,
the fall collections out,
but, I would like to take some time to honor the trends of 2010 Summer
We saw, the future of Gladiator sandals,-or "Jesus" sandals- peeping last summer,
well, they are in full bloom now, I must admit, some trends i dont like,
I find them revolting, but in this case, this trend makes sense.
These sandals, are cute, stylish, and comfy.
they can go with almost anything.
Also, maybe its just Germany, or Europe,
and I suppose a little of America,
Ballet flats, are everywhere,
almost everyone has glatiator sandals, or flats, or both!
well, flats can look good, if done well,
but often I see them worn and scrunched, not cute.

The Beginning
Hi,
I am the fashion Seer.
I started posting my views on facebook,
then I decided to take it a step further and post on line.
Where more people have to chance to see it and read it.
I have a knack for noticing trends, as soon as the collections come out,
and I have the time, I look at them and spot the similarities, or "trends".
I then post my sightings and watch as they grow to a phenomenon.
I will try and post often but, once school comes around, I'll be quite busy.
lots of love,
FashionSeer
