The World inside Fashion Advertising

From the creative minds of people behind fashion advertising you get to see how fashion advertisements connect to the pulse of human consumption. Fashion advertising is one of the keys on how to market a product to get attention and to stir human emotions. Fashion advertisements inspire our consumer desire for the products and designs of major players from ridiculous to compelling fashion ads you see on television, billboards, and magazines. What’s exciting about fashion ads is the way fashion agencies capture the designer’s mind to interpret and envision it to get consumers to yearn for that particular brand.

Major fashion houses choose advertising for fashion through the use trendy print magazines, television commercials, famous newspapers, billboards and so forth. These are effective fashion advertisements because they are accessible to consumers. Major fashion designers rely on free fashion publicity whenever Hollywood stars wear their products, from their clothing line to designer bags, accessories, jewelry and shoes in the red carpet, especially on Oscars, Grammy’s and other highly anticipated events.

Floor length coats for winter are must–haves for women out there. The eyes have adjusted to more sophisticated, dramatic style of coats. Preferably, you can try coats that are longer and flowing seamlessly on silhouettes while you rock the streets. Although some women prefer the shorter coats, designers are hoping that women will come out of their fashion’s comfort zone and shift to “floor gazing” trend and try their own floor length maxi-coats.

Design clothing, accessories, or jewelry is to become a designer !

Most fashion designers are self-employed and simply design for individual clients. Designers become popular by setting themselves apart by being professional, reliable, and using different colors, shapes, and materials that will allow them to stand out among their competition. A great way to learn how to create your own methods of creating great clothing, accessories, or jewelry is to become a designer’s assistant. Helping a designer will not only allow those that are learning to see what goes into the business, but will also help them define a sense of self and a true sense of what they want to do in the fashion business.

English Fashion Designer Gary Harvey

Filed under: Fashion Designers — Tags: — flirty @ 3:24 am

He’s the former Creative Director for Levi’s Europe and he’s worked with the likes of Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood and OKI-NI to name but a few, but now Gary Harvey, this boy from Blighty, is famous for his own highly original vintage couture dresses made from our favorite clothes. Favoring garments that retain their identity once re-contextualized into one of his dresses, Harvey seeks inspiration from iconic clothing, images and, of course, women.

The eco-bell tolled for Harvey at young age. Even as a child he was acutely aware of the lack of natural resources and human exploitation in the world. As a designer, he could not endorse the seasonal waste created by the fast-moving fashion cycle, so becoming a green designer suited his politics.

What’s more, Harvey believes that in the future, all fashion will become sustainable. Why? Because fashion simply can’t sustain itself at its current rate. While his creations may be eye-catching and extravagant, Harvey prefers a more subdued palate. Blue jeans, white, black or grey t-shirts, black hoody, black cap worn with carefully chosen vintage pieces and random accessories make up his capsule wardrobe.

And how does the man with the power to transform the Financial Times into a ball gown sustain himself? By listening to Barrington Levy, Peter Tosh, Rodney P, The Smiths, Morrissey, REM, Radiohead, Mark Ronson, The Gossip and Fried on his iPod, walking or cycling around London, eating vegetarian cuisine from around the world and chilling in the pub with his mates.
