			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nonetheless, the fashion industry is a hard business to penetrate. You must be equipped with the knowledge and influences that would provide you the maximum exposure you need to deliver your creations into the industry. But still, most of everything is commanded by your brilliance in designing that would give you center stage.</p>
<p>Your talent might be there. It is an innate property that can&#8217;t be stolen from you. It is in your own discretion though to let that talent turn into passion. But talent and skills are not enough. You have to undergo formal instructions to be able to hone those special features and direct them specifically towards becoming the best of your self.</p>
<p>This is the basic principle why fashion schools exist and continue to serve budding artists. They provide guidance and supplemental training to drive the artist to achieve with his creations. While online fashion schools have been gathering fame in the fashion industry, this still does not negate the fact that hands-on training and face-to-face instructions can&#8217;t be equaled even by the best online degree offers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lauren Conrad, former star of MTV show <em>The Hills</em>, will launch a new reality series on the network that will follow her career as a fashion designer.</p>
<p>Conrad began her reality television career at age 17 with the MTV series <em>Laguna Beach</em>, named after her hometown. She went on to star in <em>The Hills</em>, its spinoff, and has since become a fashion designer and author. Conrad launched a line of casualwear with Kohl&#8217;s department stores in 2009.</p>
<p>Conrad told Seacrest filming on her new show has not yet begun and that it is set to follow her career in Los Angeles. When asked for fashion tips, she said jeggings, a hybrid of jeans and leggings, and chunky &#8220;knits&#8221;, or thick sweaters, are currently in style and that she constantly cleans out her closet, sometimes finding forgotten but trendy items.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designers have a flair for the dramatic. This is why they decided at an early age that they would not be school teachers or electrical engineers. With extravagant runway sets, lighting concepts and hoards of celebrities lining the front row, New York Fashion Week has emerged as a rival to the theater.</p>
<p>Designers such as Marc Jacobs brought spectacle, story and substance to the lucky few who filled the seats and to those waiting by their computers for online postings to the masses. Tearing brown paper packaging from an enormous wooden frame, Jacobs revealed a stage onto which his models emerged.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People, nowadays, are opting for a healthier lifestyle. More people are into healthy foods and working out has become part of their daily routine. The streets, similarly, saw this transformation as more people are becoming more environmentally conscious. From the kind of fuel they used to the type of vehicles they prefer (hybrid and electric cars), people are slowly changing their ways and doing their part not only for the planet but for healthy living as well. This is maybe the reason behind the sudden surge of bicycle popularity. Continue reading at <a title="submit free articles" href="http://www.articleclick.com/" target="_self">submit free articles</a></p>
<p>But before, it was only the bicycle messengers that have to maneuver the traffic-clogged streets. They are often preferred by courier services in metro cities due to their ability to move through traffic and deliver mails and small packages in a more or less predictable time. The bicycle messenger has become an iconic symbol in some cities. Stories have been written about them and bicycle messengers have been featured in various television series and even in the big screen (the 1986 movie &#8216;Quicksilver&#8217; comes to mind where Kevin Bacon portrayed a bicycle messenger). And today, the influences of bicycle messengers have gone to another commercial endeavor: fashion, more specifically urban fashion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York-based fashion designer Jason Wu said while meeting with President Ma Ying-jeou Oct. 7 that Taiwan has had a big influence on his life by making him try to do his best in whatever endeavor he pursues.</p>
<p>“I am Taiwanese. No matter where I go, I was still born in Taiwan,” Wu said during the meeting at the Presidential Office.</p>
<p>“I’m very glad to be back in Taiwan to share my successful experiences with everybody here,” he added.</p>
<p>Wu rose to international fame last year when U.S. first lady Michelle Obama wore one of the gowns he designed to the presidential inaugural ball after her husband was sworn into office.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As Americans scrutinize every purchase, merchants are making sure to stock up on holiday gifts that are either practical or offer an affordable way to splurge. Here are some of the hot trends for Christmas 2010:</p>
<p>FASHION: Fur vests — real or fake — and sweaters with Nordic patterns around the neckline should be hot sellers, according to Catherine Moellering, executive vice president of Tobe, a fashion trend consultancy. Military-inspired clothing like cadet-style jackets and cargo pants should remain hot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re into urban fashion then having some serious eyewear is simply a must. Nowadays, you can find different kinds of sunglasses to fit your personal preferences and even your personal quirkiness. From plastic to metal to glass, take your pick. In terms of style, it seems that oversized sunglasses are the most popular for urban fashion. The large bug eye sunglasses are reminiscent of the eyewear of the 70s. Ask your parents or grandparents on the kinds of shades or sunglasses they have back then and you&#8217;ll see some similar designs to the ones that are popular today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>School fashion shows can be quite fun if done properly. If done the wrong way, however, it could end up being one boring affair which is only occasionally enlivened by the people laughing at a humiliated model. What you need are some tips to help you.</p>
<p>Think of a theme – When putting up a school fashion show, it is always helpful if you use a theme. A theme gives a fashion show a sense of organization and people would be able to relate the fashion to the theme. There are various types of themes to choose from: Read more at <a title="article directory" href="http://www.articleclick.com/" target="_self">article directory</a></p>
<p>Season – Basing your school fashion show on the season is always popular. You could design and model various outfits that correspond with the time of year. This would also give you an idea of how to decorate the venue. Basing your school fashion show on a season can help you unleash your creativity and make your brain cells work. How can you balance the freedom of creativity with the confinement of the theme? This will definitely help you improve your skills.</p>
<p>Literature – Another great idea for a theme is literature. You should think about basing your school fashion show on a great piece of literature. How about basing it on the book The Great Gatsby? Ever tried creating fashion pieces for Frodo? This can be fun as you will be bringing the visions of authors to life. Basing your school fashion show on a piece of literature can also be a bit easier than other themes since most authors actually have pretty detailed descriptions of the clothes their character wear. This is especially true for fantasy novels. Cloaks, anyone?</p>
