Fashion Technology Touch Up 2010 : Apparel Search

This evening, I have touched up the fashion technology page on Apparel Search.  Not to bore you, but the reason is that I now develop Apparel Search on a new software.  When I moved from the old to the new, a few of the pages (pages that used themes), became all screwed up.  This evening I noticed that the layout of the fashion technology page, became a huge mess.  Therefore, I spent a few ours re-designing the page.  Yes, I know that it does not look like a few hours worth of work.  Well, I had a great deal of trial and error trying to get the layout figured out.  Anyway, the good news is that allow it is not perfect, the fashion technology page is now back in action.

By the way, I also have a fairly new fashion technology directory website at www.FashionTechnologyDirectory.com  That site runs on a fairly cool database system.  If you own or work for a fashion technology company, you are welcome to create a free listing.

Here are a few key links of interest regarding technology relevant to fashion.

Five Fall Fashion Trends 2010

Five Fall Fashion Trends 2010

1. Faux fur: Whether it’s for staying warm or making a statement, everyone is sporting bits of fur this fall. Women are wearing fur on everything from fur-trimmed hoodies to full-on fur vests.
2. Animal print: If you don’t get enough animal-inspired flair from faux fur, it won’t be hard to get your animal on another way with animal prints showing up on flats, belts, even trench coats. Pump up your everyday look with a pair of leopard print heels.
3. 60’s: AMC’s show, Mad Men, not only spurred a flurry of NetFlix rentals, but also launched a round of 60’s inspired dresses. Pencil skirts with tailored, cropped jackets and round full skirts nipped at the waist bring back a sweet femininity that contrasts with the simultaneous emergence of men’s inspired styles.
4. Menswear: Speaking of menswear, there’s a whole new crop of women’s wear inspired by men’s wardrobes: Collared button-downs and lace-up Oxfords are huge this fall.
5. Military: You’ll find structured jackets, buttons and buckles in military neutrals all over stores in designer and mass brand corners. Discover great vintage finds for this look as well.

Fashionable Sites Not Yet Fully In Fashion

Here are a few fashionable sites that you are not yet fully in fashion.  In other words, as of today, they still need a bit of improvement.  I am not saying they are horrible, but I am saying that they can be better.  Actually, they "will" be better.  It just may take a little time.  Keep in mind that Rome was not built in a day.  Similar is true for fashion sites.

In time, these fashion relevant sites will be improved.
