You see it in movies, where the Casanova character is seducing his woman with the finest sheets from Egypt, or the classy fashion forward guy who works in the city and buys nothing but Egyptian cotton shirts. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It never crossed my mind to question it; I mean cotton is not exactly the fire burning everybody’s lips these days. But once I landed a job in corporate wear I began learning more and more about fabrics. The different weaves and folds, the quality and how it is actually made, my mind began to hit re-wind to a time my mother bought me a book about cotton. I didn’t actually read it, I flicked the glossy pages and smelt the middle – I just loved books; and this was one I should have read. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure enough years have passed and now I’m in need of some cotton education! So whilst working I would occasionally hit Google and go on a rampage. But it wasn’t until a few weeks of research in my new job that I finally hit a brick wall; a mid-aged man came in to purchase a shirt and asked me ‘Are they Egyptian cotton?’ I quickly said no, ‘Well I’m not buying them then’. I couldn’t respond with a good enough explanation to change his mind and he left. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what is it about Egyptian cotton that is so good? Well it is just cotton isn’t it? I mean any cotton grown in Egypt could be named Egyptian cotton, so how do we really know which one is the finest? Egyptian cotton is known for its longer fibres and durability, it is connected to the luxurious high end fashion and bedding materials. Yet, interestingly enough Egyptian cotton should be really called American cotton; because it is one particular species of American cotton that was introduced to Egypt; which is now the famous Egyptian cotton! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when buying Egyptian long stapled cotton be cautious; it could be American long stapled cotton or if it is mixed with fillers – don’t be fooled because real Egyptian cotton is durable enough without any fillers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling a little confused? Well, so was I – but I guess the most important thing to note is that cotton actually dates back to the 5th century B.C from Iran (Persia) and funnily enough Peruvian and Mexican textiles resemble those found in ancient Egyptian tombs. So what’s to say they actually ever did come from Egypt? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fine premium European mills are just as high end as Egyptian mills, since the Spanish were introduced by Arab traders to woven fabric in the ninth century, Milan and Venice in the 14th century. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that years have passed and society has ruled out Egyptian cotton as the best; many manufacturers are actually creating mixed weaves for mass production to sell to the public. Now in my fashion world I wouldn’t want to be paying lots of money for a half weaved Egyptian cotton shirt – I’ll just stick to my premium Europeans and know that quality is at my best. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So whether it’s Egyptian or not doesn’t really matter, cotton has been thrown all over the world with a long history behind it. I don’t know about you but I’m sure convinced! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077566702154053168-1904097259169434417?l=butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/feeds/1904097259169434417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/10/myth-of-egyptian-cotton.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/1904097259169434417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/1904097259169434417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/10/myth-of-egyptian-cotton.html' title='The Myth of Egyptian Cotton?'/><author><name>NataSa-JaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00201735615392030692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKLQAdAJeUI/AAAAAAAAAHc/3d6luhN9HuU/S220/41481_594476362_2079_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKpkVt4pAaI/AAAAAAAAAIE/v3aH3Rsj7YY/s72-c/cotboll.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077566702154053168.post-295037641950048841</id><published>2010-09-30T05:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T05:20:50.439-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Textile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Melbourne Fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Style Melbourne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Australian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summer fashion 2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Melbourne races'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Derby Day'/><title type='text'>Style Melbourne</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;heck out my articles in Style Melbourne on:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://stylemelbourne.com/?s=Natasha+pitra"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://stylemelbourne.com/?s=Natasha+pitra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I will be attending Derby Day on the 30th of Oct - so watch out for my upcoming article on that!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Much love&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;xxxxx&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;- NataSa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKR_9Sf1-bI/AAAAAAAAAH8/GjeYqRWtSzs/s1600/twitter+pic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522679733977217458" style="FLOAT: left;

Make sure your jumpsuit is more loose on the top half.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;*Big bust? Make sure your bottom half is more loose and choose a 'V' line for the bust area&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;*Quite proportioned? Choose something between loose and fitted - using a belt to make your waist look smaller - therefore balancing out your body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;* If your generally tall - full length is hotter and opposite for shorter legs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;* Choose the same tonal stilettos to give a slimmer illusion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TIB36gPaJoI/AAAAAAAAAGM/TcAn-VBUNGo/s1600/sss.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 201px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 251px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512537790872168066" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TIB36gPaJoI/AAAAAAAAAGM/TcAn-VBUNGo/s320/sss.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077566702154053168-1867485647915520001?l=butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/feeds/1867485647915520001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/09/fashion-statement-go-jumpsuit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/1867485647915520001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/1867485647915520001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/09/fashion-statement-go-jumpsuit.html' title='Fashion Statement?

Designer Kit Willow that is; has launched her latest range ‘eclipse’ that is proving to be a hit amongst New York fashion runways and creating an extravagant feeling of pride amongst us Aussies.&lt;br /&gt;"It is about dressing women in 2010. It's not about being nostalgic or futuristic. It’s about the ease of movement, practical wearability and inspiring fresh ideas in design” says Kit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only are these garments designed to fit, but they are also designed to complement our sexy curves and flaunt the highlights of a female body. The fabrics work like a second skin to the body, gently hugging and enhancing a woman’s figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheer silk organza and fine silk tulle is used in her latest collection. Highlights of blood red and poison pink are infused into the palette, with fine digital henna tattoo prints on the skin to demonstrate that feeling of a warmth embrace in all designs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strong feminine tailoring can be seen in the tuxedo jumpsuit, with the WILLOW dress also catering the emphasis on the womanly curves we all have to work with – it is balanced, sophisticated and has a sheer back detail of the silk organza’s effect on the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dress that really screams out ‘Buy me!’ is the WILLOW dress 23 – poison pink with silk organza detailing, one sleeve and an artist’s magic touch of creativity sprawled across the whole design – it really does create a total eclipse of the heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077566702154053168-1396486811376316764?l=butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/feeds/1396486811376316764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/06/willow.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/1396486811376316764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/1396486811376316764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/06/willow.html' title='WILLOW'/><author><name>NataSa-JaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00201735615392030692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKLQAdAJeUI/AAAAAAAAAHc/3d6luhN9HuU/S220/41481_594476362_2079_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TB80411m6AI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ZPgqOzgXc9w/s72-c/willow+23.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077566702154053168.post-565830215699479750</id><published>2010-06-04T18:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T18:50:02.466-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Photo shoot - Fleur</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;With two collections - Modern and Classic luxury; the fine fabrics and styles are sure to last  from day-to-night. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tom Ford joins the stable of Harrolds prestigious labels, including Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Yukio Mishiba, Paul Smith, Moncler, Antonio Marras and Isaac Sellam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

 Superfine wools, cashmeres and silks are pivotal to this season’s ‘Classic Luxury Collection’. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colours:&lt;/strong&gt; once again emerging from the dark - Rich plums and faded mauves are beautifully combined with black, navy, chocolate brown and silver grey. And to lighten the palette, you’ll find an injection of cream. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Harrolds’ Classic Luxury Collection includes the softest knitted jackets. Worn over fine knitted jumpers, it’s a look that begs to be touched. While some styles evoke the 1960s, others take&lt;br /&gt;their cues from the soft silhouettes of the 1940s. Irrespective of the inspiration, this season’s collection is unashamedly luxurious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;# ALSO -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the opening of the flagship store in Bondi, NSW - October 2010 - marks the 25 years of Harrolds success nationally and internationally.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077566702154053168-7563720591350071015?l=butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/feeds/7563720591350071015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/04/harrolds-celebrates-25-years.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/7563720591350071015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/7563720591350071015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/04/harrolds-celebrates-25-years.html' title='Harrold&apos;s celebrates 25 years!'/><author><name>NataSa-JaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00201735615392030692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKLQAdAJeUI/AAAAAAAAAHc/3d6luhN9HuU/S220/41481_594476362_2079_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/S760MHAiB7I/AAAAAAAAAEs/CG9G0bvVscg/s72-c/harrolds+winter+2010+luxury1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077566702154053168.post-2664301221769760946</id><published>2010-04-08T02:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-08T02:19:25.065-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mens styling tips #1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.mensfashiononline.com.au/images/purple-tie.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 343px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 231px" alt="" src="http://www.mensfashiononline.com.au/images/purple-tie.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;- Always match your belt with your shoes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;-&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; &lt;em&gt;Matching ties and shirts&lt;/em&gt;? &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;No&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; – mix it up! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#663366;"&gt;-&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; Socks –&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; official rule on socks is that they should match the color of your pants, or of the same shade – mix it up with some patterned socks but in the same color palette as your pants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Watches –&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; own one that suits your lifestyle and taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;-&lt;strong&gt; S&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;unglasses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; – you can really express yourself – that compliments your face but also expresses your personality!!! :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663366;"&gt;- Invest in a great &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;shoulder bag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.

excitement has filled my eyes once again! After dazzling us with her first collection, Roth is back with a sexy, strong and flattering winter line sparkling with an amazing colour palette of beautiful greys, vibrant oranges and electric purples.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I took a lot of inspiration from geometric shapes and combined that with a very 80’s feel with a modern and wearable edge. The knitwear in particular was inspired by luxurious 80’s skiwear that you could imagine an elegant woman of that time wearing on a ski trip to Aspen. I also used music to help develop and connect the collection.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Details are so simple but significant in Roth’s range. I particularly like the way a simple two-coloured dress with one effortless shape (check out the contrast sleeve scoop black dress) has such a strong effect on the eyes. The knits used to make these garments look fabulous and work well for the upcoming chilled months of Melbourne winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roth explains “I source my fabrics locally and overseas. I like to support local fabric manufacturers but when it comes to specialized fabrics and beadings that I have designed I like to have that made by specialists overseas.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting piece is the Triangle Trim knitted jacket in Orange/Purple colour, with striking colours and beautifully crafted knitting; this piece is a hot pick for next season’s cold months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When I was nine I first realized I was very energized by design and by different clothing. It took me though a long time to realize that I could actually do this as a career!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes - Roth has come a long way since her childhood dreams and has truly created something inspiring, mesmerising and is surely going to further prosper in the future. Well done Tali!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top three Questions:&lt;br /&gt;1. What do you love about Melbourne?&lt;br /&gt;I love Melbourne’s laidback and unpretentious nature. The café culture and the restaurants and the fashion is the best in Australia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#6600cc;"&gt;2. What are your future goals/plans for the label?&lt;br /&gt;My goal is to continue to develop my brand and really connect to my customer and provide them with beautiful, original luxurious clothing.

Do you have any advice for young aspiring designers out there?&lt;br /&gt;Do your research.

Twilight has made a new era - for the return of the Vampire! Now, with shows like True Blood, it is quite evident that the obsession with Vampires is no way near its end. It has only begun, and to add a little spark to the whole issue I thought I would add on here a garment which I found quite interesting to this issue...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the Dorothy Perkins Black power sleeve dress (in black) that has caught my eye and I think would be popular in an era full of vampires ;) Maybe Edward would find this kind of outfit sexy! I certainly rate it = 8/10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/SxtYZnEb-9I/AAAAAAAAADU/uvLH1qhWyPM/s1600-h/doroty+perkins.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 148px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/SxtYZnEb-9I/AAAAAAAAADU/uvLH1qhWyPM/s200/doroty+perkins.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412016574223350738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like it?

I never thought about how fast-paced our lives were becoming until the day my uncle died. For many out there; this is something they have had happen in their life. But, for a young twenty-one year old I find it quite mind-boggling that somebody could leave this earth in such a quick time.He taught me to open my eyes and just go for it!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hence, I moved to Sydney from Melbourne a few months ago to follow my dreams. So many incidents have occured where I have really stopped to think - what are we all doing rushing our lives? For what? To be better than eachother? Or richer than one another?Life goes by so fast and the last thing you want to think of is the missed opportunities in your life because of this hectic life we live today.Too many of us worry about money and our love lives. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's time women get up and smell the fresh air. Life is not about the superficial things in life. It is a new moment everyday, helping somebody in need - like the lady at central who follows me for spare change. Did they know where their lives were going when they were too consumed in their superficial ways of life? No.Or the women who spend thousands of dollars on items they don't need just to feel good.Sometimes the best things in life are free - and until we all learn that the world will never stop to think or relax. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We are so stuck in our ways it's about time somebody puts their foot down and steps back to reality - it could be you, the girl next-door or even the woman who makes your morning coffee. As Coco Chanel said - "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."

They are fun, different and each one is distinct in its own way - I dont think they'll ever go out of fashion!

More and more people just sweep the surface filling their cupboards with the latest emerging labels and do not stop to consider the roots of where it all came from.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#003333;"&gt;So as I scramble through old books and articles I find that most designers started from the bottom – selling their ideas at markets, to friends and these days online. All these ideas are becoming a filter for the youth of today in opening their eyes to the idea that there are no limits. The world is your oyster and anyone can have a piece in the art of fashion.&lt;br /&gt;It is becoming more popular these days to make your own clothes. Add a little detail and turn a garment into something of your own. Just like blogging – people were not writers before they made their own blog, or even flicker where everyday people’s pictures are now being commented all around the world! It just goes to show with a little individuality, creativity can go a far way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#003333;"&gt;The perfect example was aired a couple of days ago on ‘The world today’, a current Australian ABC radio show hosted by Peter Cave. The topic covered today was about ‘fashion hacktivism ‘ , yes quite a strange word which does not appear in the Oxford dictionary but made sense to me when listening to the ways fashion has become less conservative and more so functioning like a computer – where people need to start hacking into their clothes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#003333;"&gt;The idea of ‘hacking’ into your own clothes struck a chord with me and I found myself digging through my old pieces, quite surprised at what I found but quite excited to start something new, different and totally a one off! The beauty about this is nobody else will have it but you!&lt;br /&gt;So, where to go from here? Simple, put down your celebrity wannabe ego and take on the inspired and creative new you! Follow these five steps to the new artsy fashionista lurking inside of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Start cutting out pictures out of magazines, patterns, anything that inspires you!&lt;br /&gt;2. Go back to those old pair of jeans you loved and give them a new look&lt;br /&gt;3. Remember: fashion isn’t all about money and with a recession going on, start looking for cheap buys to update your wardrobe and keep your wallet heavy&lt;br /&gt;4. Forget about what people think, most successful designers or anyone in the industry have had their hardship and look at them now&lt;br /&gt;5. Don’t forget to just be you – it will show&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#003333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; in what you&lt;/span&gt; wear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077566702154053168-6773362765618528732?l=butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/feeds/6773362765618528732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2009/11/art-of-fashion.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/6773362765618528732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/6773362765618528732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2009/11/art-of-fashion.html' title='The Art of Fashion...'/><author><name>NataSa-JaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00201735615392030692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKLQAdAJeUI/AAAAAAAAAHc/3d6luhN9HuU/S220/41481_594476362_2079_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/Sve5peEE9XI/AAAAAAAAACs/mABgPDUDLEk/s72-c/fashion.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077566702154053168.post-928052320366703711</id><published>2009-10-27T00:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T22:45:23.588-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='katie hosking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Australian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><title type='text'>Katie Hosking - Melbourne designer</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/Suac-W4V6bI/AAAAAAAAACU/unbOEDLqHYc/s1600-h/sarah+hosking11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397173798557837746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/Suac-W4V6bI/AAAAAAAAACU/unbOEDLqHYc/s200/sarah+hosking11.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/Suac0X3zmrI/AAAAAAAAACM/I_-w5LhMkok/s1600-h/sarah+hosking4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397173627025332914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/Suac0X3zmrI/AAAAAAAAACM/I_-w5LhMkok/s200/sarah+hosking4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;Do you ever frantically rush through the racks of clothes in a boutique to find that it is not Australian made? I don’t know about you; but I sure am one to take note of a garment’s background and I particularly feel a tingle of excitement when I see it has been made in Australia. It gives me that sense of home and that we as a young country are boasting our flawlessly talented designers into the world of fashion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;For one Melbourne designer – Katie Hosking sure knows how to please our kind. Her botanical, inspiring, creative and practical designs are creating quite a stir amongst people’s lips. Natural and Australian made is her number one priority – and believe me she has kept to it!&lt;br /&gt;“I love attention to detail, this season I have been inspired by rustic romance, with shades of tea stained neutrals, cinnamon, nettle green and ballet pink. We use highlight details of crochet buttons and lace. Subtle decorations of embroidery, frills and metallic wallpaper prints, also capture the seasons soft romantic feel. Fabrications such as ultra soft silk knits in traditional tailored silhouettes provide comfort for all day wear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;Katie admits to endless hours of sewing as a child, after studying fashion she was lucky enough to land a job in a women’s surf wear label and then went on to design women’s street wear. Later on, she changed to designing women’s accessories and looks back upon her ten years of experience as a value to her business with all the knowledge she had gained.&lt;br /&gt;Her pieces are just to die for! With floral patterns, bright blues and soft greens I think any fashion-updated woman would appreciate her pieces! Each garment is carefully crafted and is Australian made; meaning investing in some of these pieces adds your part into helping the local industry grow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;“Our beautiful product is sure to make the wearer feel fabulous!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;Being based in Melbourne Katie admits to visiting her local Aurora day Spa for some time out away from her usual day of business. As a mother life is manic at times and the relief from a day spa is just what she needs. Her love for Melbourne as a cultural inspiration hot spot is what gets her going and inspires her work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;A part from her fashion world Katie explains “I’d like to do my bit for humanity; I’d love to be more involved in helping developing countries. I have a curiosity and interest in jewellery design; I may study this sometime in the future, when time permits!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;My favourite piece:The floral maxi dress filled with purple, blue, green and yellows. It gives me a sense of nature and would be perfect for a nice Aussie summer’s day - also teamed up with the right accessories a nice dress when catching up with friends over dinner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;Katie’s last notes:We offer a diverse lifestyle collection, ranging from basic body wear items through to Silk fashion pieces.

For every fashion-infatuated person out there, lies the influence under it all. The images that showcase the beauty and uncanny fashion world derive from one press of a camera button. Behind it all are those talented photographers, such as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.isabelengelhardt.de');" href="http://www.isabelengelhardt.de/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;Isabel Engelhardt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;, who take an idea and transform it into something superb, unique and, at best, an unconditional work of art.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;“As a child I always wanted to be a painter. Then, as a&lt;/span&gt; teenager, I got my first SLR camera and from that moment got hooked on painting with light,” says Isabel who studied photography with an emphasis on fashion photography in Munich, Germany, for five years.

Her love for Melbourne began as soon as she landed with her love for live music, cheap sushi and a city where she stumbles by tiger snakes on her way to do some shopping! While her success in Melbourne is persevering, the art in her fashion photography astounds me, makes me think about concepts of light and to really push the idea that all colours depend on light.

Favourite place in Melbourne?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourite place in Melbourne is the barbeque site in the Yarra Bend Park, near the Studley Boat House - A beautiful &amp;amp; quiet spot by the river with lots of wildlife. As soon as the sun sets the whole place gets invaded by possums and flying foxes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. What’s your advice to aspiring fashion photographers?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get inspired but do not copy. Treat models like human beings. Don’t take it too serious and keep your sense of humour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Published: Style Melbourne - 24th of May 2009 - writer: Natasha Pitra - editor: Sarah Wilcocks :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077566702154053168-566917126768239810?l=butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/feeds/566917126768239810/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-style-melbourne-article-on-isabel.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/566917126768239810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077566702154053168/posts/default/566917126768239810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://butterflyexpressions.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-style-melbourne-article-on-isabel.html' title='My &apos;Style Melbourne&apos; article on Isabel Engelhardt. . .'/><author><name>NataSa-JaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00201735615392030692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/TKLQAdAJeUI/AAAAAAAAAHc/3d6luhN9HuU/S220/41481_594476362_2079_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/ShvRdy4-iuI/AAAAAAAAAAo/pKKwKgkSxEI/s72-c/6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077566702154053168.post-7076972845944205972</id><published>2009-05-26T04:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T22:50:22.619-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion ideas'/><title type='text'>Winter is coming. . .</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,204)"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/ShvO88h_GYI/AAAAAAAAAAg/FGIrTBuOUYY/s1600-h/IMG_1660.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340089329614002562" style="WIDTH: 131px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 174px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHalkIMB6Og/ShvO88h_GYI/AAAAAAAAAAg/FGIrTBuOUYY/s200/IMG_1660.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;As the days get colder, we can feel winter cree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ping in on us.&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly we panic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;realize we have nothing to wear this season!

The range has been out for the past few months in Australia and has been quite a hit amongst the Witner stores around Melbourne. As shown above in the image you can see just how high the round-toed heels are! At $189.00AU a pair - they must be worshipped! These heels are perfect for those crazy night outs, the speedy winter around the corner and a feel great shoe! Just watch out for your alcohol intake as these shoes can be tricky to walk in after a few glasses on a great night out!
