Rockabilly

The Rockabilly is a key hairstyle trend for 2012, for both men and women. Rockabilly is an American style dating back to the 1940s, though hairstyles from the 1950s and 1960s have also become part of the rockabilly view.

Jeremy Scott’s spring / summer ’12 collection took the classic rockabilly hairstyle to exaggerated proportions, just to use on catwalks. The objective was to create the American origins in a hairstyle that was named "Country Barbie".

Proenza Schouler’s spring / summer ’12 collection was also inspired by the 50s and in Elvis to produce a very different interpretation of the rockabilly hairstyle.

O Rockabilly é uma das tendências chave para 2012, tanto para homens como para mulheres. Rockabilly é um estilo americano que remota a 1940. Porém, penteados dos anos 1950 e 1960 também se tornaram parte do movimento Rockabilly.

Jeremy Scott apresentou na sua colecção Primavera/Verão 2012, um penteado Rockabilly clássico mas com contornos exagerados, apenas para ser usado em passarelas. Um penteado de origens norte-americanas que foi apelidado de "Country Barbie".

Proenza Schouler também apresentou na sua colecção Primavera/Verão 2012 uma inspiração dos anos 50 e Elvis, criando uma interpretação muito diferente do penteado Rockabilly.

Scarlett Johansson used a rockabilly hairstyle last December. With the front and sides rolled up, the style reminds us of the beauty look presented in Jean Paul Gaultier and Preen Spring / Summer 2012 collection.

Big size

I saw this picture today on a friend’s facebook page and that reminded me of the idea to speak about “big size” in fashion. Everybody knows that models are very thin. Many people agree with that and many people do not. In my point of view, if you are a little bit fat, it will be difficult for you to fit in the models... that's why most times you see very slim models. I know a lot of girls who want to be a model and they often go on hard diets to make that possible. You shouldn’t do that, and it is even worse if you pass this way of thinking on to the new generation. Many people are born to be doctors, to be architects, to be engineers and some to be models. To be a model you must be thin, pretty and tall, but you shouldn’t change your natural beauty to try to be someone you are not. Everybody is pretty like they are. You don’t need to be a model to show you are beautiful.

Anyway, I found some photo shots of some overweight girls in fashion

Hoje vi uma imagem na página do facebook de uma amiga e lembrei-me de falar sobre o "tamanho grande" na moda. Todos sabemos que a imagem "ideal" dos modelos é serem muito magros. Uns concordam com isso e outros não. No meu ponto de vista, se uma pessoa for um pouco gorda, será mais difícil vestir e ficar bem nos modelos, é por isso, que na maioria das vezes se vê modelos muito magros. Eu conheço muitas raparigas que querem ser modelos e que muitas vezes fazem dietas malucas para tornar isso possível. Vocês não devem fazer isso, e é ainda pior se vocês passarem essa maneira de pensar para as novas gerações. Algumas pessoas nascem para ser médicos, outros arquitectos, outros engenheiros e algumas para ser modelos. Para ser modelo, é preciso ser naturalmente magra, bonita e alta, você não precisa mudar a sua beleza natural para tentar ser alguém que não é. Todo mundo é bonito como é, com a sua beleza natural. Você não precisa ser uma modelo para mostrar que é bonita.

De qualquer forma, eu encontrei algumas fotos de modelos com excesso de peso.

New Sweden Brand by Örjan Andersson

Coming soon for Spring/Summer 12 a new Swedish brand by Örjan Andersson.

Örjan Andersson’s plans are to launch a new brand of street & fashion jeans with a handsome and clean rock-look combined with traditional jeans attributes, under his own name.

He’ll start with what he knows better, jeans and T-shirts, and then he will build up the collection with more clothes.  He says the new label won’t affect his work at "Cheap Monday" for H&M.

Andersson’s new label will have five denim styles in different fabrics and washes and feature a street-rock look. T-shirts will come with and without prints, in black and white, anthracite melange and light gray melange.

This collection will be first available in Sweden and Denmark.
