Animation Movies

In movies the current hot trend is Animation!

With the huge success of, "A Christmas Carol" , getting great reviews, the filmmakers' hopes have built up. Also the current trend is not just making any animation but bringing a fairytale or a short story on screen. Like "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is a based on Roald Dahl's novel. "Princess and The Frog" is a popular fairytale and also the much awaited Tim Burton's, Jhonny Depp starrer is "Alice in Wonderland" scheduled to release in March 2010 is a famous novel. This is an expression of wonderful fantasises brought to life onscreen !

Fifa 2010

No wonder so many designers are doing sportwear lines. They are taking cue from companies like Adidas and Puma who are doing their FIFA 2010 ad campaigns to capitalize on the intersts of football(soccer) lovers. On the left is a picture of Ralph Lauren's sports collection for Spring 2010 and right is an image from Adidas advertisement for the same. So all you football people, are you ready to "Bend It Like Beckham?"

Remembering Fulton Fish Market Art Exhibit

The 4th annual Art Exhibit displaying the scenes from the Fulton Fish market which moved to Bronx 4 years ended Sunday. The paintings and sketches by artist, Naima Rauam were vivid reminiscence of the busy life at the seaport. It was full of Nostalgia. Its that festive time of the year where all stores, windows, art, movies and even clothes are full of nostalgia(red for christmas)!

Junky Fashion Jewllery

These pictures were clicked today at Union Square. If you take a closer look you would notice the use of lock and key in the waist band accesory which is intresting and all those rings. The whole look, apparel as well as accessories have all been synchronised very well!

Jhonston Elgin Accessories

On Monday, I went to this Corporate office of Jhonston Elgin, a company found in 1797 in North Scotland by Jhonston family. They are very well known for their scarves, socks and cahmere sweaters, in Europe. Now they are expanding in New York. They only sell in boutiques and specialty stores. Their designs are contemporary classic and they manufacture for brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Burberry and Hermes. Needless to say their collection is very very sophisticated and high profile.

Shoe Mania

Its interesting to see how trends evolve from being experimental to religiously followed fashions. Shoes are the most important accessory being as important as clothes and also contributing to maximum sales in any stores. Various kinds of colorful sneakers have been done by a lot of fashion brands such as Nike, Puma and Adidas but its not just the sneaker companies anymore. These shoes are from some store in London and they effectively demonstrate good use of colors to make a perfect example of stylishly fashionable, fun footwear.

Whip it !

I saw this movie(Whip It) last week and it was great to see how certain trends like Punk and Hiphop keep evolving in new ways. This roller derby flick is all set to revive the harsh punk look to make it more soft and dewy and the inorganized hiphop look to a more chic one. Ellen Page has a very relaxed style of the 80's with leggings, skirts and t's and she has enough Impact to inspire a whole new generation. The movie has great reviews and might as well genrate a new trend called the Derby girl trend!
