A Stylist

 

 When I first learned about "stylist" job, I didn't pay much attention to it. I was about 15 years old then. The word "stylist" didn't convey any sense to me. I liked watching runway pictures and pictures in fashion magazines being 8, 15 or 27. I simply didn't pay any attention to the word "stylist". Most probably because my parents were bringing me up to have more dependable job like a teacher or a accountant, or a translator. So stylists weren't in my radar until a couple of years ago. 

 The most famous stylist I think is Rachel Zoe. She has 2nd job already - clothes designer. Watching "Rachel Zoe Project" series on Bravo TV, I saw how the stylist really works. After that I concluded that it's not a bad job after all. This job even seemed easy for me because, let's say frankly, it's not a building design, or airplanes repair, or documents translation. It requires constant creativity and being on the go. Looking at Rachel Zoe you can't help admiring her, her energy, her style, her husband, her kids, her team. Watching the series I was always thinking: "Hey, Rachel, just relax." I remember after those series dreaming about becoming a stylist. I'm still dreaming about this job. 

 I've never met a professional stylist in my life. Taking a picture of the girl you see above, I liked her unusual look (hair, fur jacket, high-waisted skinny jeans and platform boots), I learned that she is a stylist. Her name is Anastasiya Voskresenskaya. Please welcome her, guys! I didn't have a chance to speak with Anastasia about her experience as a stylist. But I'll definitely get in touch with her and make an interview to learn more about stylist job.      

Skirt & Trainers

 More and more girls take on board "skirt and trainers" trend. It means that more and more girls choose comfort over beauty. It means that more and more girls think that skirts look beautiful with flats or even trainers. Be sure girls, even next season this tendency will be popular. 

New York Fashion Week September 2014. UNpopular Street Style Trends.

  Fashion week continues all over the world. This means we have a lot of images and ideas to be inspired with. 

  This is my last post on NYFW street style trendsб because I don't want you to get bored with NY. Though many of you will say it's impossible to get bored with NY. And I agree with you, guys. But there are other cities: London, Milan, Paris ... and Moscow, that demand and truly deserve our attention. 

  Popular NYFW Spring 2015 street style trends you can see here and here. This post is dedicated to unpopular but bright trends. "What is the reason of focusing on UNpopular trends?"- you ask me. Well, not to look similar with 1000 other people in your city. 

  Ladies and gentlemen, the parade of UNPOPULAR New York Fashion Week street trends starts now:  

    

Baggy Shirts 

  It's a new trend. Personally I myself would have bought a baggy shirt, if it wasn't for my taboo on buying new clothes. So guys, if you tend to dislike figure-hugging pieces, I advise you to try a baggy shirt.  

To-Look-Like-A-Man

  Lovers of pants suits rejoice! Your time has come! Now you can demonstrate to the whole world your feminism and your business attitude. 

- "When you see a lady in a pants suit, what idea comes to your mind?" 

- "It is a business lady."

- "You're absolutely right, baby."

  Girls, if you want to show your boss that you mean business, go ahead, show your serious part. 

  Personally I prefer skirts to pants for office work. I think that a girl should look like a girl.  

A-Line Skirts

  Ahhh, these skirts are absolutely beautiful! What makes a girl more girly than an A-line skirt? One great thing about skirts of this type is that they look good either with heels or with flats and oxford shoes.  

Wide pants

  The wider the better!

 Baggy pants are 100% for high heels lovers. If you are one of them, then why not? Believe me, it's not only-one-season-trend. Next spring wide pants will be still be trendy. 

 I see one big advantage in wide pants - you don't have to worry how your butt looks in them. They conceal all the shortcomings in that area.  

Bright Colours Hair

 Why not to experiment a bit with your hair style? You can dye in pink only hair ends and see how it works with you. If it doesn't, you can always cut it. More on why the pink or green hair are so trendy you can read here. 

Mesh

 If you don't have any insecurities about your body, why not to show it to your friends putting on a mesh sweater or skirt? 

Wide Shorts

 You won't believe it, but shorts are trendy this autumn. 

 I would choose wide shorts myself, because, first of all - I like shorts, and second - wide shorts look like a skirt. So your friends or workmates won't understand what you are wearing: skirt or shorts? They look good with flats and platform boots. And no, they don't make your legs look short. If you like them, then who cares, baby? 

Long Sweater Above  Skirt

 It's unordinary and it looks fresh. Long sweater and skirt equals a dress. It seems that you are wearing a dress, not a skirt and a sweater. What is the reason I'm talking this nonsense now? My idea is - if you have a favourite long and baggy sweater, but you've never worn it with your favourite skirt, it's time to start doing it.   

Bright Trousers

 And skirts, I would add. Aren't you sick and tired of black trousers and skirts. Put on something bright! 

Hats

 They are coming back in fashion. But now they don't define person's status or polite manners, which is nice. It's No 1 piece for early autumn days. A hat protects your head from sun and cold. Beanies are good but in a hat you look romantic, old-fashioned in a good way. and stylish, of course. Wearing a hat helps you to stand out from the crowd. Let's face it - not many of us are still wearing hats on a regular basis. 

   

Knee High Boots

 High boots or botforts will never get old for autumn. They make your legs look longer and slimmer. You will always look cool wearing high boots with a short dress or jeans. 

A Smart Look For Men

 

Wearing light trousers in early rainy autumn is risky - you can find your trousers 5 inches in mud. In case you check weather forecast and it promises a sunny day, why not to wear light brown trousers with blue shirt and checked dark blue wool jacket? It looks simple and smart.    

An Unusual Hair Colour

Pink hair, purple hair, green hair, half shaved hair, no hair. Well, I'm joking about "no hair" part. The vogue for doing something unusual with hair is growing. I do not think it'll become very popular and every second person will have an extraordinary hair colour. Do you agree, guys? 

Where from this trend came from? Subcultures? Pop singers? Japanese Harajuku girls? 

It's always curious for me to see people with unusual hair choice. Would you, guys, consider changing your hair colour to more extreme one?  

Fashion of Streets for Boys. Michael.

Do you like stand-up comedy, guys? You do not mind to give a hearty laugh once or twice a week and spend time with the boys who can free-style jokes for you? Isn't it a wonderful hobby or profession to have to make people laugh? They say, a good laugh makes your life longer. 

You can see one of the stand-up comedy lovers above in the picture. Guys, please meet and greet, Michael on Be bright!!! As soon as I spotted this bright boy, I knew I had to take his picture. I like balance in Micheal's look: blue jacket nicely balances, sort of quiets, bright shirt and jeans. I hope all aspiring comics will find their style of humour and style of clothes and will look this bright and cheerful.  

Do not forget to laugh or at least to smile, guys, it's a good way to make your day better. 

Scary or Funny 3d T-shirt?

I don't know how long has it been since by means of clothes people started expressing themselves. I wonder, whose idea was it? It's not a bad idea after all. 

In the 21 century people are so busy making money at work to pay bills and credits. Even if they really wish to express themselves they get so tired at work that do not have enough time and strength to create something more meaningful than their own look. Through clothes people can express their mood (black or bright colour), their points of view - wearing a message on T-shirts, hoodies, jackets and so on, their sense of humour - images on clothes. I think the girl in the picture expresses exactly a sense of humour not an aggression. 

Do your daily looks express your mood or help you to spread your ideas to the people around you? 

Burbon Street

 

This guy looks old fashioned to me. His green hat, clumsy jeans half-buttoned shirt and the background look as if it's a movie set. 

Lady & a Bag

To the big-bags-lovers dedicated.

Thanks to science and, as a result of it technologies made our life better. Our life rhythm became faster. We can cross a border of another country in an hour. Our grand-grand-grand parents had this idea in their most courageous dream. And now it's our every day life. People try to win time for fulfilling their plans and dreams. Such kind of busy people require to carry useful devices on their backs: ipads, laptops, notebooks. If the busy person is a woman, she can't help carrying some cosmetics with her. Ladies with long schedule lists carry big bags. 

I can be considered one of the big-bags-lover, as well as you, my dear reader. Though I switched from a bag to a backpack, but that's another post story.
