Yes, the name above was unknown before and now everything is different for Kadeem Fisher after he responded to a Craigslist Ad by Calvin Klein. Things couldn’t get better for this 17-year old high school student/athlete when the world’s most famous brand liked his pictures and picked him to walk the ramp in New York during Fashion Week.

Everyone knows to get a break like this, to walk the ramp the Calvin Klein is like the luckiest thing that can happen to an aspiring model. Kadeem Fisher walked the ramp like he was born to do so. Funny considering the fact that the aspiring model wanted to be a professional football athlete but failed die to unforeseen circumstances.

Basically, he had to find a way to enter college and financially he wasn’t ready. It was his mum who sent his pictures taken during a recent vacation to CK’s model scout who in turned transferred the pictures to her bosses and they gave her the green light to take Kadeem on for the New York Fashion Show. Here’s wishing Kadeem the very best for his future.

For some women reaching 50 mean that they have attained whatever they have wanted and now they have to retire from the world of fashion and adopt a new style according to their age which is, elastic pants and bulky sweaters. Other women on the other hand think that now is the time to age gracefully and still look great.

Here are some tips on how not to look drab:
Don’t go for trendy clothes as these are more suitable to the young.
Don’t think that dressing young will make you look young. In fact you are not aiming to look young but to look stylish at 50.

Don’t think that you need to cover up your whole body. Buy clothes that fit, not body fitting but clothes that are comfortable and at the same time won’t make you look shabby and less confident.

Accessories are a great way to complement your dress and allow you to stay fashionable without looking like your trying too hard.

Make the accessories stand out by first studying your dress. If it is a plain v-neck top that leaves your neck looking a bit bare, you can opt for a necklace. If the neckline is heavy with embroidery or sequins, you may choose a nice bracelet and a pair of earrings instead. Use long necklaces to shy away from any wrinkles or excess skin in your neck.

Miuccia Prada, the woman behind her label has always created designs in an exceptional way and the fashion show held in Milan this Sunday was no exception.

The Milan men’s fashion runway was mostly in greys but in slickest designs, showcasing Miuccia Prada’s latest collection.

Grey suits, grey cardigans and grey shorts, giving it all a sexy and sophisticated look. The designer portrayed strange patterns but in a clever manner and together with mesh combinations and layered tank tops was definitely a hit especially with the young generations who always want to look cool. The fashion show also had a display of shorts and even skorts (which is a ‘come half-way’ between a kilt and shorts)

Another remarkable thing was the latest Prada brogue, which was in patent leather and featured super thick soles sheathed in thick lengths of rope. A simple idea but presented with Prada’s vision and style.

What is more important: to be fashionable or to be stylish? Well, according to the experts fashion means style or glamour. To be stylish means to be fashionable.

Style means doing things in a fashionable manner which showing that style and fashion go hand in hand. However being fashionable may not reflect style, for example, a style which suits one person may not necessarily suit another even though it is the fashion of the moment. People should not become fashion victims; some people want to be seen as fashionable, whether it suits them or not makes no difference to them. What is important is to be in fashion from their clothes, shoes, handbags and even hairstyles. But do they look elegant and stylish, that’s a different question.

People should come up with their own style; wear their clothes with grace, elegance and style, irrespective if they have bought them from a street bazaar or a branded shop. This is what fashion is about. Dress in your own style to be fashionable and that will make you look your best.

Finally, we have news straight from the runway to talk about. First of all, Calvin Klein aka CK is back. Apparently, the renowned brand in fashion has lost ideas as you should totally see what they were putting on the ramp this time.

For starters, we like the men to look good by either wearing something decent or nothing at all. CK changed our perspective with a whole different approach to men’s wear. Just see the picture above to know what we are talking about.

It’s difficult to say whether it’s a short shirt or undergarment that CK is trying to portray on its models. Nevertheless, we don’t like it. Designer, Italo Zucchelli has managed to create a lot of hype with his new designs. At the Milano Fashion Week, CK showcased their new short cut wear that many are saying it’s a PR stunt from the fashion house. Our thoughts aside, we are wondering and eager to see who will wear those shirts on the road!

Seems like the fashion industry is rocking these days, several fashion brands have already announced their huge Q1 profit made in the market and Hermes very recently made theirs public.

After weeks, months of gray, it’s definitely time to bring out the vibrant colors. It’s time for a change. Blue is certainly the color right now to add some energy to your wardrobe. It is not the nautical navy or neutral ice blue; instead it is the vivid, strong and royal blue that’s going to make you feel lively.

Blue is a color that suits everyone and is easy to wear. Whether you’re dark or fair, brunette or blond, you still can work out the blue look. A bright blue dress or trench coat is the best way to go bold. For those who feel it’s too much, could go for smaller touches – a belt, shoes, jewelry or bag. Blue even looks great with this season’s utility shades – khaki, cream, black or white.

Also, blue works well with your summer make-up especially blue nails, mascara and eye-shadow.

Flowers are the new trend for this summer 2010 and the fashion industry is blooming right now with a bunch of floral styles all around. You’ll find these floral styles girly and absolutely great for the romantic spirit especially the flowing floral.

It is true that you’ll find floral in every dress shape from tight dress to floating ones, so there’s definitely a style to suit you.

There are also flowery accessories everywhere as the accessories are such easy ways to wear the style. Do try on the statement necklace, dainty earrings, chunky rings or just sling on a printed bag. Nevertheless, beauty brands are hot on the floral trend too. There’s Spritz, Jo Malone or Clarins Eau des Jardins on the flowery scent and other natural shades in make-up too with some fabulous green nail polishes.
