Futuristic Fashion

Melissa: The runway has recently taken a turn towards a new and innovative futuristic look. Shiny blacks and silvers fused with plays on shapes seem to be what the fashion world is becoming. Here are some photos straight off the runway, stage, and red carpet.




Above you see two different models rocking this new trend in all black ensembles with hints of shine and play on volume. Paired with black tights and these ensembles are perfect for an updated look.



Here is a design done by Leanne Marshall during her time on the hit Bravo show, Project Runway. The concave design around the hips was a great way to play up this black dress.



Celebrities are known for their great sense of fashion, but even they get it wrong sometimes. To the left is a picture of Beyonce during a performance. The futuristic look is about shape and color but this is taking it too far. To the right, she redeems herself by pulling out a sexy metallic gold ensemble that was perfect for a performance.





The above looks are not realistic for an average day on the streets, but that doesn't mean you can't update your ensemble with some embellishments. Take inspiration from the above picture of Rihanna, sporting a tight black leather outfit at the American Music Awards. Her look is toped off with the addition of several silver chains attached to her corset.



To get the most out of this trend for everyday wear, try adding simple things to a black ensemble, such as gold and silver jewelery to add a little flair to any outfit and to make the most out of this trend while catching people's eyes in doing so, in a good way of course.


P.S. Stay tuned for some photos of me, Wenjing, and Ryo sporting our everyday futuristic looks.

Asian Fashion


Wenjing: asian fashion is very unique and fasinating. i love the patterns of the shirt that this girl is wearing. the plaid is appropriate and very colorful for spring.


these are some more cute outfits that i found




The Winter Ball "Jungle"

Wenjing: Yesterday, we had a "Jungle" ball at our school. We were all supposed to wear something like cheetah or zebra patterns but i decided that i wanted to stand out in a fashionable way. So i altered my last year's homecoming dress into something unique. i scrunched and hemmed the middle of the dress and sewed it up with a needle and thread. It took me forever to make it but it was worth it. i then accesorized it with a belt, some tights, and a pair of 4.5 in heels. wut do u think?
