Do you have a perfect dressing sense?

Hi, here is a big question have you ever asked for yourself.

Elegance is in the eye of the beholder. The power of fashion is coming from trend and styles colliding together creating an ever mobile synergy. What is trendy to me could be sartorially unpleasant to you and vice-verse!

On one hand, Most would keep economy of an individual, while talking about style and fashion on you.  But for people having real sense of style will not agree with it. As we believe fashion trends and fashion sense are purely on based on their imagination, inspiration, mental stuff etc. I have come across peoples with simple dresses and cheap fashion accessories looking really elegant and stylish. I strongly believe style erases individuality

Sense of style is indeed a very personal thing. When an individual got attention and a good feel about what suits him, he will over time develop his very own personal style. He will feel good in his outfit, which will be recognized by those around him. But for those without this feel have little choice to turn to books and rules as substitute for their own sense of style. As of me books and rules will never be able to replace personal style. The fine thing those books do however is giving some direction to those who lost in the world of style and fashion. Rules will not replace inspiration nor will they create it. People who dress by the rules rather than a personal style will always be identifiable by those with sense of style. 

Finally, you can have a look around you and discover your fashion sensibility but your own style must be based on your own sense of elegance...

“i feel common sense will get you a nice, sensible, and safe wardrobe. but as for dressing stylishly, i think it takes some practice,imagination and inspiration, and even concentration”

Marvelous Fashion Exhibit at Los Angeles, FIDM Museum.

Chanel, Gianni Versace and Alexander McQueen are just a few of the designers featured at the “FABULOUS!: 10 Years of FIDM Museum Acquisitions, 2000-2010” at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) Museum and Galleries in downtown Los Angeles.

Showcasing over 200 years of fashion, anyone with a thirst for style or appreciation of the art will bare witness to the iconic wardrobe pieces dating back to the 1800s.

“These are really, really rare objects and they are not displayed very often because they are so delicate,” said Kevin Jones, FIDM Museum curator.

Upon entering the dimly lit gallery, black ceilings dotted with small track lights and matching walls lined with glass-encased artifacts; 38 mannequins are displayed among three seemingly floating silver platforms.
The first of three platforms display an eclectic compilation of styles from the modern era. Soft classical music compliments the cold, contemporary atmosphere. Gowns for every occasion, evening coats, leather pants and even a $1,000 priced rhinestone swimsuit from 1955 are brought together from all around the world. Without question, Paris, Milan, London and New York dominate the scene.

Heading toward the back of the exhibit, the second platform features fashion styles from the 1800s and  early 1900s. These mannequins adorned in head to toe couture, defined the fashion silhouette for women in the 1830s with bell-shaped dresses. Most wore bonnets or other head accessories, in addition to detailed broaches, jewelry and gloves.

The third section of the exhibit, hidden from the front of the gallery, is tucked away off to the left in back, featuring more unique 20th century pieces. Featured on a rotating platform is the famous Alexander McQueen evening dress, a cream silk and black lace strapless bodice and full skirt. Other items vary from a 1907 court gown and train to an evening tunic and headdress from 1913, these items reveal more modern fashion concepts for their time.
“This is my only extra day in L.A., so I went online looking for clothing exhibits and found a link to this (exhibit),” said Lisa Brumm, 43, from St. Paul, Minn. “The website featured the Alexander McQueen gown, and I figured if that was one example of what I’d see here, it would be worthwhile.”

Salacious undergarments ornament the walls behind this motif, with brassieres, bust enhancers and men’s “Personality (boxer) Shorts” with the phrase “Everything Grows Big in California” printed on them circa 1950.
All items on display are used for in-class instruction for students at FIDM and also fully illustrated in a 375-page catalog on sale at the museum shop, which is located right outside the exhibit. The catalog, “FABULOUS!,” features other historical fashion pieces not on display at FIDM, and will soon be turned into a textbook.

“The really great part about being in this school is we get access to all of these beautiful costumes and designers,” said Anna Ramirez, 25, a first-year merchandise and marketing major.

Brave collection wore by Tulisa at Vogue’s Fashion Night Out.

Since getting her X Factor makeover, Tulisa has been experimenting more and more with diverse styles. It’s fair to say that she’s even become a little bolder in the fashion stakes, as her ensemble at last night’s Vogue Fashion Night Out party appropriately proved.

The singer turned up to the event in a… well, we’re struggling to describe it actually, perhaps: “sexy Roman-style body armour dress” would sum it up? We’re not sure, anyway the point is it’s brave and speaking at the event yesterday Tulisa admitted she’s now enjoying experimenting with her style, saying:

"I'm just looking forward to, if anything, finding myself when it comes to fashion."

"I've spent so long in N-Dubz having to blend with my band and accommodate for what everybody else is wearing. I never really got the possibility to experiment and find out what I really like when it comes to fashion.

"So I'm really just finding myself, finding which designers I like, also trying to discover new designers that are up and coming. It's like a new journey for me, so it's really exciting this week because I'm going to be able to find myself, as well as finding fashion."

Tulisa also hobnobbed at the party next to likes of David Gandy, Pixie Lott, Henry Holland and Daisy Lowe, who looks ever so slightly like Janet Street Porter when she smiles and laughs.
