Winter Fashion New Season

Stasis never looked so good as at Lebanon's red carpet king Elie Saab

PARIS — Elie Saab has the formula down pat: Take miles of flowing silks and tulle, whip the fabrics into flattering, nip-waisted silhouettes and cover them with a ton of shimmering sequins and beads and you’ve got yourself a red carpet winner.

For Wednesday’s fall-winter 2012-12 couture collection, the Lebanese designer didn’t stray from the winning recipe that has helped him conquer red carpets worldwide. But then again, with gowns that look that good, why would he?

Models walked the catwalk in artfully draped bustier gowns with long flowing skirts cinched at their waists with skinny belts.

Fans installed near the photographers’ pit billowed the dresses’ flowing chiffon just so for the photos, and the battery of flashes electrified the intricate bead work.

The dresses were feather-light and ultra-sheer, but slap on a lining and you’d be ready to go to your next movie premier, gala dinner or black tie soiree.

The fashion world demands audacity and constant change, and many designers attempt to reinvent themselves season after season. But as long as A-list actresses and wealthy women with packed social calendars keep clamoring for his high-glamour gowns, Saab needn’t change a thing.

As the Fall/Winter 2010 season approaches, along with it comes a lot of new and exciting trends and fashions. It can be quite confusing to know which designer clothing brands work best with others, and which styles are going to be the more popular ones. While wearing famous mens designer clothing brands is not essential in order to be fashionable, it can really help especially if you are not sure which particular fashions work for you or if you are looking to emulate a celebrity’s style.

For those that do not know, mens designer clothing styles are released twice a year in time for the upcoming season. In January or February, the Spring / Summer collections are released. In August or September, it is time for the Fall / Winter collections. Each season has its own overriding individual styles that run year-to-year. For example, Spring / Summer clothing will likely be of light or bright colours, whereas Fall / Winter collections will usually bit a lot thicker than the Spring / Summer clothes to keep the wearer warm on the cold winter days.

Each season has its own set of traits and trends that run throughout all brands and is based upon how people and celebrities have been wearing the clothes in previous seasons. A popular misconception that its detractors spread about the fashion world is that fashion imposes rules and laws on what people that follow fashion have to do. This is a nonsensical statement as ‘fashion’ is simply the manifestation of popular trends as worn by people. Contrary to what the naysayers say, fashion is created by people, it is not the people’s captor.

For the upcoming Fall / Winter 2010 season, there are already some trends that will be making appearances. Designer denim, such as Edwin men’s jeans, Pepe and Prps will be very popular. If you’re new to fashion, denim is always a safe bet. Try to get jeans that are ‘raw’, this means that there is no wash, abrasions or stresses on the jean. It is just the basic cut and stitching and nothing more. The great thing about raw jeans is that they look incredible when you first get them, and then over time the colors gradually fade as the jeans get worn out. This is really good, as men’s jeans wear out according to how they are worn – they are a record of all the time that you have spent with them, telling your story back to you whenever you look at them. However, it is really important that you do not wash raw denim – certainly at least not for six to nine months after you get them. If they get dirty or smelly, try to dab stains away with damp cloth and try to neutralise odors with a product such as Febreeze.
