Friday, September 05, 2008 Fashion revival By Leticia Suarez-Orendain
TRENDS come, trends go, trends return as something better. Here are updated versions of yesterday’s fashion—made hotter.
Obi belts. Yes, they are of Japanese origin and have been adapted by fashion designers.
These over-sized belts made a splash a few years ago and they’re back in fashion. They are not only back but the wide belt is popping up everywhere.
You can see Filipino celebrities, like Yasmien Kurdi, wear waist-hugging obi belt to go with tank tops.The belt can be worn with skirts, dresses and jeans.
Fashionistas love obi belts! They give an instant hourglass look, reminding you of those 1940s vamps of filmdom.
Caution, my dear: The very slim have license to use the obi belt. Those on the rotund side? Hmm, proceed with the yellow traffic light madly blinking.
Glad to meet you. So, you love shoes and sandals.
Here is a hot item that’s captivating every girl worth her Prada. Gladiator shoes are everything but ordinary and functional. Hey, you wear them for style and look, and to make an impression.
These shoes are making headlines. Actress KC Concepcion likes to sport these footwear when she makes a television appearance. Ordinary mortals also can’t seem to have enough of these shoes — or sandals?
Whatever they are, the footwear can be very sexy even when paired with bubble skirts.
Venus on me. So, you think the Venus cut or one-shoulder dress or gown is out of style or old school? Well, here’s news.
One-shoulder dresses are are back with a vengeance.
Just this week, Studio 23 aired the Oprah Show that featured her BigGive challenge, a charity project. Charlize Theron was the guest in that show.
The lovely Theron auctioned her one-of-a-kind Venus gown to fuel her BigGive project for Africa. The auction started right there and then!
The Venus dress is hot and sexy because it teases the imagination. It’s a style that can motivate plump women to lose some weight so they can look like the goddess of love.
Long or short, dress or shirt, the one-shoulder can steal the show off the catwalk.
