The ladies of Hollywood are the driving force behind the fashion style for the young women shopping for prom dresses this year, and it’s no secret that, as the “red carpet look” continues to become more glamorous and feminine, so will the 2008 prom fashions.
Glam Is the Word
Although it’s hard to
pinpoint one trend that covers prom, glamour is the overarching theme
for 2008 — much of which is inspired by Hollywood and the stars we see
in magazines and movies and on TV. There’s no doubt that what we see in
Hollywood is what we’ll see on girls going to prom and other special
occasions.
These trends focus on beauty from head-to-toe, and the styles are more ladylike and fitted, creating a more feminine look. A-line and strapless dresses — in both long and short lengths — are popular choices and will continue to be well into 2008. Not only are they popular, but they are also flattering on almost any body type.
The Long and the Short of It
Long, formal dresses
always take center stage, but short, flirty dresses are following
closely behind and growing in importance as the preferred choice. Short
dresses this year will be accentuated with bubble hems, as well as
asymmetrical hems — following the trends inspired by Hollywood. T-length
dresses are in style for bridesmaids and are also carrying their
popularity over to prom.
Another style coming back into the picture is
the baby doll dress. This aligns more with everyday wear, but don’t be
surprised if this trend turns into formalwear for prom and other social
occasions. We will continue seeing the empire waist, both in long and
short dresses. As with the empire waist, there will be several trends
crossing over between the long dresses and the short dresses.

The by the widow of Soffer's friend Lance Valdez, Dasha Gogoleva, who claimed that the property billionaire was culpable in her late husband's death. She alleged he had been at the controls of the helicopter that Valdez died in when it crashed in the Bahamas in November 2012, without a valid helicopter licence - something that Soffer has strenuously denied.
"There was no notice [that the suit was being withdrawn]," a source told the "Jeff was preparing to respond to, and deny, the allegations. Before he could, the suit was voluntarily withdrawn without warning."
The hotel magnate's team was keen to assert, however, that the withdrawal was not the result of an out-of-court settlement.
"We were not surprised by the decision to withdraw this lawsuit, which was riddled with factual errors and unfounded accusations," Soffer's lawyer Bob Martinez said in a statement. "The case collapsed just a few weeks after the lawsuit was filed - before we even had a chance to respond - confirming that it was… frivolous."
WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY is one of those space-age-sounding concepts
that we may have imagined we'd be wearing by 2020 had we envisioned
that year from the Eighties, but it isn't something generally
thought of as stylish - until now. New York label has become the first big-name fashion brand to
team up with a technology giant - in this case Intel - to create a
piece of wearable tech with a cooler edge.
From Google's much lauded (and vilified) Glass - featuring a
camera and screen worn on the face - which is set to be released
this year, to T-shirts and bras that track your heartbeat and
weight gain respectively, our clothes have been incredibly busy
doing things that they really don't need to of late. Currently the
preserve of sporty types keen to make the most of every step they
take - and monitor their vital statistics while doing so - wearable
technology is set to hit the mainstream this year, and fashion
brands are bound to want to make them more aesthetically
pleasing.
In September 2012, Diane von Furstenberg collaborated with
Google to , but this new release will be fashion's
first specially designed product. Although it has not yet been
confirmed what the piece will look like, or what it will do for
your life, the "smart bracelet" will be released at Barneys, reports, in collaboration with the
CFDA (of which Von Furstenberg is chair) and designed by Opening
Ceremony.
"The first big story [from the Consumer Electronics Show 2014]
is the real inflection point for wearable devices," Accenture's
John Curran told the "It is about these
devices moving from niche applications and early adopters into much
more mainstream products."
Prada has cast
rising actor Dane Dehaan as its spring/summer 2014 menswear star,
his second campaign apperance for the label, confirming that his is
a name to know indeed. Miuccia Prada has an almost psychic eye for
hiring future stars in her campaigns, always capturing them at the
cusp of their big-time successes. Previous Prada campaign alumnus
includes Malaika Firth, Lindsey Wixson and Sasha Pivovarova, while
the designer's contemporary label Miu Miu counts Mia Wasikowska and
Hailee Steinfeld as its former faces.So who is Dehaan? Hailing from Pennsylvania, he first became known for his roles in television shows In Treatment and True Blood, before being cast as Ryan Gosling's troubled son in The Place Beyond The Pines. The 27-year-old - who is married to actress Anna Wood - starred as Lucien Carr, lynchpin of the original beat poets, in Kill Your Darlings, playing opposite Daniel Radcliffe. The two appear together in intimate sex scenes that have attracted mass attention since the film was released in December last year. Next up is his part in the Amazing Spider Man sequel, in which he features as the villainous Harry Osborne. This week the 27-year-old American was shortlisted for accolade, alongside Léa Seydoux and Lupita Nyong'O, suggesting that awards recognition is not far off.
Acting aside, Dehaan is also writing his first screenplay, a dark comedy, although he maintains that it isn't ready for public consumption yet. Whether as a writer or actor, Dehaan is stardom bound.

Asari or saree is a strip of unstitched cloth, worn by women,
ranging from four to nine yards in length that is draped over the body in
various styles which is native to the Indian
The
sari is usually worn over a petticoat (called lahaṅgā or lehenga in the north; langa,
pavada, or pavadai in the south; chaniyo, parkar, ghaghra,
or ghagaro in the west; and shaya in eastern India), with a
blouse known as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The blouse has
short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped at the midriff, and as such
is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis
may be backless or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy, with
plenty of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery, and may be worn on special
occasions. Women in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a
short-sleeved shirt tucked in at the waist. The sari developed as a garment of
its own in both South and North India at around the same time, and is in
popular culture an epitome of Indian culture. The sari signified the grace of
Indian women adequately displaying the curves at the right places.
In
the history of Indian clothing the sari is traced back to the Indus Valley
Civilisation, which flourished during 2800–1800 BC around the western part of
the Indian subcontinent. The earliest known depiction of the sari in the Indian
subcontinent is the statue of an Indus Valley priest wearing a drape.
Ancient
Tamil poetry, such as the Silappadhikaram and the Sanskrit work, Kadambari
by Banabhatta, describes women in exquisite drapery or sari. The ancient
stone inscription from Gangaikonda Cholapuram in old Tamil scripts has a
reference to hand weaving. In ancient Indian tradition and the Natya Shastra
(an ancient Indian treatise describing ancient dance and costumes), the navel
of the Supreme Being is considered to be the source of life and creativity,
hence the midriff is to be left bare by the sari.
Sculptures
from the Gandhara, Mathura and Gupta schools (1st–6th century AD) show
goddesses and dancers wearing what appears to be a dhoti wrap, in the
"fishtail" version which covers the legs loosely and then flows into
a long, decorative drape in front of the legs. No bodices are shown.
Other
sources say that everyday costume consisted of a dhoti or lungi (sarong),
combined with a breast band called 'Kurpasika' or 'Stanapatta' and occasionally
a wrap called 'Uttariya' that could at times be used to cover the upper body or
head. The two-piece Kerala mundum neryathum (mundu, a dhoti or sarong, neryath,
a shawl, in Malayalam) is a survival of ancient Indian clothing styles. The
one-piece sari is a modern innovation, created by combining the two pieces of
the mundum neryathum.
It
is generally accepted that wrapped sari-like garments for lower body and
sometimes shawls or scarf like garment called 'uttariya' for upper body, have
been worn by Indian women for a long time, and that they have been worn in
their current form for hundreds of years. In ancient couture the lower garment
was called 'nivi' or 'nivi bandha', while the upper body was mostly left bare.
The works of Kalidasa mentions 'Kurpasika' a form of tight fitting breast band
that simply covered the breasts. It was also sometimes referred to as
'Uttarasanga' or 'Stanapatta'.
The
tightly fitted, short blouse worn under a sari is a choli. Choli evolved as a
form of clothing in the 10th century AD, and the first cholis were only front
covering; the back was always bare but covered with end of saris pallu. Bodices
of this type are still common in the state of Rajasthan.
In
South India and especially in Kerala, women from most communities wore only the
sari and exposed the upper part of the body till the middle of the 20th century.[3][4] Poetic references from works like Silappadikaram indicate
that during the Sangam period in ancient Tamil Nadu, a single piece of clothing
served as both lower garment and head covering, leaving the midriff completely
uncovered. Similar styles of the sari
are recorded paintings by Raja Ravi Varma in Kerala. By the mid 19th century,
though, bare breasted styles of the sari faced social revaluation and led to
the Upper cloth controversy in the princely state of Travancore (now part of
the state of Kerala) and the styles declined rapidly within the next half a
century.
In
ancient India, although women wore saris that bared the midriff, the
Dharmasastra writers stated that women should be dressed such that the navel
would never become visible. By which for some time the navel exposure became a
taboo and the navel was concealed.
Grameen
check is a type of clothing design that
is very popular in Bangladesh, and is rapidly expanding to other countries as
well. It mainly constitutes a pattern of squares or rectangles formed from
different colors of dyed threads. Clothes with grameen check designs are mainly
made of cotton fabric woven in the traditional methods by the cottage-industry
workers in Bangladesh.
Grameen
check was pioneered by Grameen Bank founder and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr.
Muhammad Yunus. The clothes and the designs were products of the same
small-industry weavers he helped through Grameen Bank.
Grameen
check designs and clothings have recently become very popular in Bangladesh.
Since the fabric is mostly or totally made of cotton, it has proven to be a
comfortable clothing for the warm climate of the country. The design has also
given the younger generation an opportunity to dress in traditional attire
while still representing the present times.
Most
of the fabric of grameen check comes directly from the traditional weavers of
rural Bangladesh. The popularity of grameen check means that these small
businesses are thriving and weavers (mostly from traditional weaver families)
are earning money from the work they are good at, rather than having to migrate
to towns and cities for other jobs.
