Business Attire

Floral prints are back. At the New York Fashion Week which officially took off on Monday, a new line of collections from fashion designer Carlos Miele showed attractive floral prints. Models were seen in the runway wearing clothes with bold colors and bright whites. Curved lines of yellow, orange and red can be seen on the form-fitting dresses which the models successfully strutted down the catwalk. Off the shoulder dresses featured highly, along with single strap dresses which signals the necessity of the strapless bra.

These kind of prints are making a presence these days in recent fashion shows, as is the continuing popularity of maxi dresses. At the recently concluded Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the spring collection of Carolina Herrera also showed strong floral prints on her layered dresses. These kinds of dresses can either be dressed up for more elegance and glamour, or dressed down with a sharp jacket for a more everyday look that could be worn in the office.

Fashion designers Donna Karan, Jenny Packham and Tracy Reese also joined the bandwagon as flowery prints can be seen on their upcoming collections.

More than a hundred thousand stylists, buyers, fashion editors and celebrities are expected to grace this fashion event that’s currently ongoing.

Victoria Beckham’s love for fashion is definitely obvious these days as she’s gathering more supporters by signing up to popular social networking site Twitter. In just a span of few days, the fashion icon managed to get more than a hundred thousand followers.

The news that the former Spice Girl has joined the Twitter bandwagon spread like wildfire after actress Eva Longoria tweeted “Hey everyone, my dear friend Victoria Beckham is finally on twitter! Give her a warm welcome!”

The friends were seen recently dining out in London with Longoria wearing one of Beckham’s newest designs. The wife of football star David Beckham is hard at work in trumpeting her latest designs which will be seen by public for the first time at the New York Fashion Week this month.

Both Beckham and Longoria are featured in the new American advert for LG Fashion Touch phones, adding more glamour to the business fashion world.

Multitalented television celebrity Martha Stewart announced that one of her newest shows will make a grand debut next month on the Hallmark Channel. Aside from that, she’s expected to bring her other top shows in the channel as well including the hour-long “Whatever” satellite radio show hosted by her daughter, Alexis Stewart, and Jennifer Koppelman Hutt.

Stewart will also launch “Martha Stewart Presents,” a new series of primetime interview specials that will debut on September 13. Her premiere show will celebrate the American women who dress for success. Her guests include fashion designers Donna Karan, Jenna Lyons, Diane Von Furstenberg and Tory Burch.

These events seemed to jive with the upcoming New York Fashion Week. Stewart was quoted as saying that she’s looking forward to a long-lasting relationship with the Hallmark Channel. The channel has a larger female demographic which is fitting with Stewart’s shows.

Rumors are swirling that multiple Grammy winner Madonna is set to design a professional clothing line for Macy’s. The speculations arose during the New York Fashion Week recently. Aside from that, the pop star may also venture into the lingerie line as well.

As of press time, Madonna has yet to confirm the developments. Her rep has refused to make comments about the issue, as well as the representatives from Macy’s and brand management firm Iconix.

There have been reports that the fashion line may be called “Material Girl” or “Truth or Dare.”

Should the report confirm this, the pop icon may have a busy year. Aside from managing the line, she’s also in talks to shoot a film about a love affair between American socialite Wallis Simpson and King Edward III.

Madonna has collaborated with H&M in 2007 for her spring line called “M.”
