It’s time to get your frock on and slip into one of these cocktail dresses to wear for the holidays. Between work functions, family festivities and merry celebrations with friends, there are a number of potential parties that call for a celebratory cocktail frock. As these events draw near and invitations begin ushering in, don’t get stuck in a style rut, wondering the inevitable: “what do I wear?” Glam up your holidays by stepping out in a stunner that will turn heads wherever you go.

For fashionable fetes and festivities, forget the little black dress, a red-hot number boldly announces your arrival or shimmy into lovely lace for a party-perfect frock to wear for all occasions. When it comes to dazzling a crowd, turn up the sparkle in shimmering sequins to spread holiday cheer or fast-forward into the season with a molten metallic cocktail dress that’s all flash and fabulous. Belles of the ball should spend their evenings dancing the night away in flirty-flared frocks or deck their wardrobes with tinsel-inspired trimmings like ruffles for luxurious texture and maximum movement.

Calgary Fashion Jobs – If It’s Not Baroque…

Monday, September 17th, 2012

Revive the renaissance era this season with brocade motifs, sumptuous fabrics, rich tapestries, and ornate embellishments for fall’s most dramatic and prominent trend that has designers and fashionistas alike going for baroque. Elaborate trimmings and gilded accents add to the opulence and lavishness of this beautiful baroque period trend that will have you donning 17th century inspired duds with old world flair. Elevate this European charm with palatial adornments like gleaming jewels, ornamented filigrees and embossed prints for ultimate decadence a la Dolce & Gabbana. Luxe metallics offer a royal high polish shine to everyday looks if you’re not up to this over the top and excessive trend. To achieve a style status that is of grandeur quality, don intricate beaded pieces and opulent embroidery with plush velvets or silk satins for a copious contrast. For a modern twist on this old world look pair extravagant trimmings with lustrous leather for a sleek and sexy contemporary look. Step aside minimalism, fall’s beautiful baroque is reigning supreme this season.

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Fashion Blues

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

     

It’s a blue end to the Summer as cobalt coloring takes centre stage for this season’s fashion finale. Fresh, vibrant and totally on trend, lapis inspired hues make for a seamless transition in to the cooler weather of Fall, while still paying tribute to the bright statement-making tones of the fading warmth.

However you work it in to your wardrobe over the next few months, one thing is clear, the fashion blues are nothing but high style happiness.
