Celebs who stripped for their brands
| Hengul Writer: The celebs seem to be well aware of the growing competition that marks the present marketing scenario. May be that is why they are pushing the limits to make their own brands occupy the top of mind slot of the fashion freaks. Time and again, we come across celebs who have no qualms about skin show when it comes to promote their own fashion products, ranging from clothes to accessories. Celebs who stripped for their brands Find below, five of the renowned names from myriad fields who have, without any inhibition, expressed the naked truth! Kardashian Klan The Kardashian sisters for their denim line The Kardashian sisters didnt find their denim and white top clad posters sufficient enough for the promotion of their own denim line- the Kardashian Kollection. As a result, they focused only on the denim and went topless in another set of pics. No wonder, they got notice (obviously along with their jeans)! Gisele Bundchen Gisele Bundchen looks seductive in her rubber sandal line ad The Brazilian model, clad only in a water dress posed for the promotion of her line of rubber sandals made in collaboration with Ipanema. As the objective of the ad was to emphasize on conscious use of water, we can very well justify Giseles stripping (read choice of the dress). David Beckham David Beckham in the H&M campaign Being a name that doesn’t need any introduction, David Beckham attracted numerous eye balls when he decided to strip for a new body wear line. The sexy footballer flashed his amazing body in a campaign to promote the body wear brand that marked his collaboration with H&M.

Marc Jacobs Marc Jacobs flaunting his masculine body The hunky designer gave all the male models a run for their money when he showed off his masculine frame in the ads for his line of mens fragrance- Bang. The Greek God like physique, the manly stubble and the rugged tattoos- all made this campaign a treat to eyes! |

VAGX launches Lumisac Series
| Hengul Writer: VAGX, the South Korean bag maker has launched their newest collection under the title of Lumisac Bag Series. The collection owes its name to the illuminating strips tagged across the bag exteriors. The line includes different varieties of bags that range from backpack, messenger bag and waist bag variants. VAGX Lumisac Series sparkles up the way you commute The bags are made of high quality fabric and available in attractive colors of black and beige. The black ones are adorned with a 1000D Cordura nylon body that adds style to it. At the same time, the waterproof truck tarp base brings utility to the bags. On the other hand, the beige models are almost entirely made from truck tarp. However, the highlight of the bags (almost literally) remains the battery-powered light strips. The flashing strip can be moderated and set to blink in conditions where the natural lights start fading out. In addition to its style quotient, the backpack models contain space for a 17″ Macbook. The messenger bags, on the other hand, make room for an iPad or Macbook Air. Picture Gallery VAGX Lumisac Series gallery VAGX Lumisac Series |

Review: Burberry Prorsum redefines military trend with Rafia Cotton Parka
| Nidhi Sinha: Military outfits or accouterments might not be that infamous in mens wardrobe, but thanks to runways, the classic military trend is all voguish this season. And luckily, tapping into this falls military trend is extremely easy with this Burberry Prorsums trimmed cotton twill parka. This virile parka has all the elements that could lend you the prefect military inspired look instantly. Before you invest into this timeless piece, have a look at some of its interesting sartorial features. Burberry parka subtly de-emphasizes the over-manly look with the fur and toggle details. The Parka highlights Just when we thought that this somewhat masculine raffia hood parka is only designed to appeal the corridors of rustic; manly society, we noticed the fur and toggle details on its hems and cuffs, which successfully helped in de-emphasizing the over-manly look of the parka. The label, that has already established itself as a leading brand, showed off different elements for perfect ruff-and-tuff look through this beautifully crafted outwear. The modern interpretation, touch of the genuine military cool and the re-invention of heavy jackets is beautifully done with the hint of trimmed hood, brand logo, hand-ripped up detachable trims, duffle detailing and two front button pockets followed by a concealed zip closure. Everything about this twill parka is interesting, and its fine adjustable belt behind its rear provides the jacket with the option of either leaving the coat intact or showing off your midriffs. This sought-to-be next wardrobe staple can be accessorized with minimalistic accessories like woolen stockings, boots and handcrafted woolen caps. In terms of versatility and modernized touches, we loved the parka all the way! Picture Gallery Burberry Prorsum Burberry Prorsum Raffia Cotton Twill Parka Designer Christopher Bailey introduced some new military styling concepts to his most recent Fall collection; and through this irresistibly timeless parka, he has finally shown his eminence in the world of fashion. For applying military fashion to the mainstream outwear, Burberry designer Christopher Bailey and his winter celebratory parka inevitably gets a big thumbs up. Whether you are looking for a perfect masculine silhouette or just pretending to have one, this ultra-glamorous parka will do you enough favor. The rafia cotton twill parka differs from other parkas made to suit the military pattern by pulling off a ruched and drape-y appearance. Thumbs up The Rafia cotton parka and the touch of updated and modernistic military style was supremely delighting. To refrain the parka from delivering too much of rough-and tumble look, the designer pulled off some ruched and drape-y appearance instead. This heritage tumbled cotton parka is sure to receive a huge appreciation from the fans and, of course, the fashion critics. Taking inspirations from the Burberry archives, the parka included panoptic use of furs, oxford buttons and bright, winter-y color: earthy tone. Although this cotton parka is overcrowded with the elements that are extremely hefty, but the inclusion of furry embellishments has added an extra bit of zing to its appearance. This Uber-luxe outwear comes with a flair of casual tone, and is the perfect epitome of a winter outwear that delivers something less masculine out of the brawny military trend. Military details, interesting shape and luxurious styling, these all traits sum up this charming Burberry parka. Its detachable hood will allow you to dress yourself in two different appealing ways. The Burberry parka, truly deserves a thumbs up for the perfect visualization of modernistic military style. Thumbs down We almost found ourselves struggling when it came down to discarding this winter outwear for some arbitrary reasons. Like other outwear of the Burberry collections, however, it too had its own wearable-ity drawbacks. Firstly, this hood parka was mainly designed for an over-sized look. Unless you are bulky or own a lot of muscles, you are not perfect enough to toss over this accouterment. The raffia trim hood on this heavy jacket could lend you a military look-alike silhouette. Thus, not suitable to match up with the cocktail party ensemble just to add a dash of casualness. Best buy This standout, apropos winter-wear can be easily purchased online at MR PORTER for an amazing price rate of 2,695 USD. It comes in an earthy shade of army green. Team it up with a two-piece suit or the eternally appealing tee-jeans combo for a perfect winter layering. |

Is the concept of Homeware as Outerwear done to death after Maison Martin Margiela Hommes Spri...
| Nidhi Sinha: What an innovative collection! It might have taken more than a decade to relive yet another amazing concept on the fashion runway, but it was worth the wait. Maison Martin Margiela Hommes Spring/ Summer 2012 collection turned out to be a reminiscent of what Hussein Chalayan did with his Autumn/ Winter 2000 collection where he pioneered the concept of ‘homeware as outerwear’. Collective glimpse of Maison Martin Margiels S/S 2012 collection The highlights Keeping the focus on the detailing and elaboration of the outfits, Maison came out with one of the most wearable collections of Paris Fashion Week. Whether it was the concept that was irresistibly captivating or the elaboration done on the clothes that mesmerized our fashion senses, Maisons Spring Summer 2012 collection was amazing and did enough justice to the authentic fashion etiquette. Voguish hues like blue and red took on the spotlight, but there was enormous amount of neutral shades like white and black that helped even out the monotony on the runway. Strapless gown with models holding her assets, hybrid mash-ups and oversized female dresses- these all were nothing but fashionably unusual. As soon as our fashion sleuths laid eyes on it, we were left with a mixed bag reactions. The collection was not only risk bearing or groundbreaking, but was entirely cool and funky. Margiela showed off an eternal romance between casual sportswear and smoky evening outfits. While accessories and detailing was the core of the collection, Margiela enthusiastically highlighted the collection with the knack of edgy shades. There wasnt much room for pointing out errors. After all, when creativity takes over, your words only render appreciation. Vidoe clip for Maison Martin Margiela Hommes S/S 2012Maison Martin Margiela Hommes S/S 2012 The risk taking concept of homeware as outerwear Maison Martin Margielas S/S 2012 collection is a flashback to the Hussein Chalayans Afterwords collection displayed in A/W 2000 Maisons parade of dresses, from the printed garments to the striped ones and even the checked pieces, spoke for both fashion-forward fashionistas and conservative dudes. It wasn’t only the dresses that took us by surprise; the show format was itself something that was equally intoxicating. First, a short film and then, the dolled up models in eccentric dresses took us back to the year 2000 when the fashion designer, Hussein Chalayan introduced the daring concept of ‘homeware as outerwear’ in his unusual collection. His experimental approach of incorporating the innovative materials and technology in his Afterwords collection, which was displayed in Autumn Winter 2000 is still engraved as one of the incredible collections in fashion history. Who can forget that architecturally morphed dress designed with 15,000 flickering red lights and Swarovski crystal? Well, with innumerable fashion weeks slated on for the upcoming fall, we just cant wait to witness some more ahead-of-the-time fashion. Designers, are you listening?
