Celebrity Fasshion 2011 From Victoria Beckham

By definition, celebrities are under constant scrutiny from the media and the fans that adore or hate them. For a public figure, looks is extremely important and contributes to the growth or drop in popularity.

Celebrity fashion is a perfect occasion for media coverage and a source of profit for designers and other fashion oriented industries. Attaching a famous (popular) face to a line of clothing, perfumes or accessories will boost or ruin sales. Some of these celebrities have unique fashion touches that can become easily identifiable and adopted by the masses. Celebrity fashion is so influential because it springs from the fans’ adulation of the fame status.

The person asserts himself/herself as a fashion icon through little details: Nicole Kidman through her vintage brooches, Dita von Teese through her classic ‘50s dresses and pale skin, Jackie Kennedy through her chic fawn coats and pillbox hats, Jennifer Aniston through her silky hair, Jennifer Lopez through her furs and oversized hats, Beyonce through her sparkly, asymmetrically small outfits. Each of them inspires a certain style that will be adopted by those who enjoy it.

In the last years celebrity fashion took a step further, increasing in popularity and availability. Stars have created their personal lines of clothing, reflecting their personal style. Such are Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, supermodel Kate Moss, singer Gwen Stefani, Victoria Beckham and many others. Each has more or less accessible fashion items. For example Victoria Beckham designed jeans from very luxurious Japanese denim that retail at $280. At the other end, Sarah Jessica Parker’s line, called “Bitten”, is specifically made to be widely accessible, with items that do not cross $20 and come in sizes from 0 to 22.

Realizing the importance of a famous face attached to a product, important companies like Coca-Cola, Nike, Apple or L’Oreal convinced stars to endorse their products - because celebrities vouching for the quality of an item will influence the customer’s behavior.

It all adds up to the phenomenon of celebrity fashion that directly affects the public’s choices. By association with the beauty, artistic talents, fame and social impact celebrities and personalities have, people will tend to imitate and adopt.

Designer Fashion Accessories 2010 - 2011 I Summer Style Tips

Summer's here, and naturally, you have to be equipped with the right designer fashion accessories to feel cool and look hot. We're talking short shorts, wide-brimmed hats, wayfarers, big bags, sexy sandals, and all that good stuff. Summer's all about colorful, lightweight fabrics, and with some careful planning, you don't have to break your bank over designer fashion accessories for your summer wardrobe. By stocking up on those essential summer basics, and getting in on one or two fashion trends but otherwise keeping it simple, you'll look steamy and sexy when it's hot outside.

1. Stock Up On Your Basics - We can't emphasize the important of having plenty of basic tops and bottoms for summer enough, and you can dress them up with designer fashion accessories. Remember, fall is the time to really make a statement with big, bold looks. Stock your wardrobe with shorts in a variety of fabrics (heavy cotton, light and dark denims, linen, khaki), solid-colored tank tops including a couple of black ones, and tee shirts with cool prints. These will serve you well for trips to the beach, lazy brunches, evening BBQs, and everything in between.

2. Get Your Shoes Right - Whereas in the winter it's all about boots, heavy leather heels, and other (often expensive) designer shoes for women, summer footwear's a more relaxed and affordable affair. Make sure you stock up on flip flops in various colors, lightweight canvas sneakers, wedge sandals, and barely-there sandals for when you want to look a little dressed up in your cute evening dress.

3. Follow Trends Selectively - When you walk into any store at the start of summer, you're bombarded with all manner of cute dresses, skirts, belts and hats. If you try to create your summer wardrobe out of them, tempting as it may be, you'll soon run out of money. Sporting the latest trends all the time is just unsustainable. So, keep it simple, don't knock yourself out buying every pretty, frilly dress, and get in on just one or two key designer fashion accessories and trends.

4. Cover Up - Believe it or not, summer fashion is not all about sporting your skimpiest designer fashion accessories. Showing too much skin can make you look unbalanced and undefined, and it can also be impractical given the cool breezes that crop up when you least expect it. Make sure you have a few lighter-than-lightweight cardigans to slip on over your dress, and silk scarves to wrap around your shoulders.

5. Stay Cool - Let's face it, a sweat mustache or a sunburn is never a good look, no matter how sexy your spaghetti strap dress may be. Whenever you go out, make sure your big Ed hardy bags are nicely stocked with SPF sunscreen and lip balm, moist towelettes, body spray, a comb, and extra hair ties and bobby pins to keep your hair up and off your face. When you look cool, your designer fashion accessories will look hot.
