Fashion Models and the Hottest Designer Trends

Many people that go to auditions want to look their best in hopes that it will help them get the part. An issue that will keep you from getting a part is over doing the makeup, you want to look almost natural and classy and less like bozo the clown. Unless you are going to a porn audition over doing makeup will hurt your chances. The casting director want to see who you are, and the bone structure you have, because aside from your skills the casting director already has a vision of what look will best fit the part(s) he or she is looking to cast.

Lets face facts, Hollywood can make you look the way they need you to look, glamorous or hideous it makes no difference. Take it from Jim Carrey’s role as the Grinch, or Charlize Theron’s role in Monster, I would have never in a million years guessed whom that was. Some of the roles these actors and models portray require for them to be in makeup for hour achieving the desired look for the role. On the other hand they have already landed the role via an audition, in which the makeup was far more toned down. When applying makeup, you never want to touch your skin with your fingers or hands; you will transfer oil and dirt to your pores. You should have a good set of brushes and sponges to apply all of your makeup.

Style Icon, LL Cool J has joined the list of stars that have decided to put their name and signature onto a fashion line, what makes this  deal a bit out of the ordinary, especially in the hip hop and rap arena, is that LL Cool J has struck a deal with Sears to put his name on a line of mid-range priced hoodies and tees.

It’s actually a cool line, I saw it the other day at Seras. I gotta admit that the LL Cool J style of hardcore, Rock and Roll and skulls is very defined and the prints / designs tha LL Cppl J has sported for so long are now available and very affordable to all.

LL had this to say about his new clothing line

“I was raised by a matriarch, I have a wife and three daughters, so I know what women are looking for when they shop for clothes”, the rapper stated. “My main concern… is to make sure the fit is right. We are going to be constantly looking at fine-tuning the fit and we’ll get it right”,

Christian Dior was born in 1905 and died in 1957. Dior left a mark on style like no other designer and the Dior runway shows today always have a bit of his inspiration from a half century back. This is a Dior dress from post WWII era

and this is a dress from last years spring collection

Looks like they re-used the hat. Christian Dior created what the press called the “New Look”. The Dior look was called new because it moved away from the slim skirts and broad shoulders that were in style during that era and introduced designs with wide skirts, small waists and smaller shoulders.

That look still continues today and wide skirts with small waists have been a part of the line for many decades.

The Dior line has also kept the hats. While most designers have gotten rid of hats, the Dior line still has flashbacks to post WWII and the large hats that were in style.

As decades pass and styles change, the Dior line still seems to stay true to its creator, following in his footsteps of very feminine and detailed fashion… with a good amount of hats in their shows.

One of my favorite Dior shows was the Paris show of the spring 2007 line. It had a lot of great makeup with a heavily Asian influence. As with any Dior show, the hair is a spectacle in itself and the models looked as flawless as porcelain dolls. Christian Dior Spring 2007
