Fashion Shows

Are you interested in learning more about fashion shows?  If yes, you can try the following links of interest.

 

My first suggestion would be to visit the fashion shows section on Apparel Search.  From there, you can learn more about Spring Fashion Shows,  Fall Fashion Shows, and Runway Shows in general.

 

You may also want to read the Fashion shows definition.

 

After you learn all their is to know about fashion shows, you may want to learn more about fashion trade shows.  The fashion trade shows are a bit different, but on occassion also have actual runway fashion shows as part of the event.

If you enjoy viewing fashion on the runway, you may want to also learn about fashion weeks from the Fashion Week Photos and Fashion Week Videos websites.

 

Hopefully, this fashion blog post will help you learn a bit more about fashion shows.

Designer Labels

The winter collection is arriving in stores now featuring the hottest designer trends with special holiday lines from the Isabel Toledo for Payless, Christian Siriano for Payless and Lela Rose for Payless labels.  

Fashion designer and newest Payless partner Isabel Toledo debuts her second collection for the designer label this holiday season with an emphasis on metallic accents.  Toledo's holiday line will include three silhouettes: the faux-fur Poodle Boot done in pewter, a Pom Pom Flat done in black and pewter, and a Toreador D'Orsay Pump offered in Gold, Silver, and Black/Red colorations.  The black satin Moon evening clutch and the black and red Matador shopper complement the footwear grouping.

Christian Siriano loves to design with an eye for drama and head-turning sculptural details.  The Christian Siriano for Payless holiday collection channels his unique aesthetic into five footwear and two handbag styles.  Silhouettes include the Alexandra strappy sandal, Alexa stacked-heel pump, Mena ankle bootie, Allegra ballet flat, and the Venessa flat with pleated satin adorning the toe.  Faux snakeskin is a prevalent material in this collection, presented in bold shades of navy and red with gold piping and hardware accents.  The Melanie chain handbag and Joy satchel round out the offering in coordinating colorations of navy and black snakeskin.

This holiday season, Lela Rose delivers another collection representative of her "casual luxury" signature style, mixing fabrics and textures in three holiday styles, along with corresponding handbag and clutch.  The Perlita ankle-strap sandal features a frayed-bow accent, while the Lafayette pleated-toe pump is presented in both a vibrant red satin print and navy tweed.  A navy flat features a side-bow for an unexpected, asymmetrical accent.  Clara, the black pleated satin clutch is a versatile addition to any holiday ensemble, while the Oreily faux suede camel handbag with navy accents is the perfect winter day tote.  

Payless holiday designer items are available at prices starting at under $35.

The general Payless holiday collection will showcase boots and casuals, as well as dress styles including key trends like lace overlay, satin, metallic materials, along with shearling, faux fur, and woven accents.  Regardless of their personal holiday style, shoppers will be sure to find a party-perfect or cold-weather footwear to meet their wintertime needs.

Clothing Manufacturers : Research Clothing Factory and Garment Production

Actually "designing" fashion is only a small part of the apparel industry.  In order to be a successful fashion designer, it is important to have a skill set that goes well beyond the design aspects of fashion.  Although I can not discuss all aspects of the apparel industry in this blog post, I would like to give you a few hints in regard to the garment manufacturing aspects of the industry.

Here are a few resources that may help you find clothing manufacturers that can assist you with producing apparel and fashion accessories.

First, I would suggest you visit the clothing manufacturer section on Apparel Search.  From there, you will find clothing factories, trim suppliers and apparel manufacturing contracters such as sewing facilities.

If you can not find enough clothing manufacturers from the links above, you may want to use the search engine at the Apparel Manufacturer website.

By the way, before fashion designers select clothing factories they should also have experience with pattern making or higher a professional pattern maker.

You may also want to check out the How to Become a Fashion Designer website.

As always, you should also join in the discussions at the Fashion Industry Network if you are interested in learning more about fashion design, clothing production, or any other issue relevant to apparel.

Fashion Industry Carbon Credits : Clothing, Textiles, Apparel Carbon Credits

How will carbon credits effect the fashion industry?

Unfortunately, at this time, I really have no idea how the selling of carbon credits will effect the fashion industry.

How does a clothing manufacturer calculate the carbon emission used by their clothing factory?

How does a clothing company buy or sell carbon credits?

Will their actually be a market for buying and selling carbon credits in the United States?

What is carbon emission?

Well, unfortunately their are many questions in my mind regarding how carbon credits will effect the fashion industry?  I wonder if anyone knows the answers.

Maybe we can all learn more about selling carbon credits from the How to Sell Carbon Credits website?

The world is taking a serious look at carbon emissions...
