New backless bra design


I think is genius the backless bra design created by Elaine Cato, the Nashville native who appeared on the ABC show “American Inventor” last June. Her 6-in-1 convertible bra didn’t win the grand prize but for sure will win the popularity among women’s. Who doesn’t own a backless top and have trouble finding the perfect bra to wear with?

Fall Winter 2008 Accessories Report

I have selected 3 main fashion trends seen in the runway for Fall Winter 2008.

1.Futuristic style with a sporty hint. This trend was shown by the architectural and sculpted heels, structured wedges with cut out details, high platforms and minimalist forms. The futuristic look was reinforced by the choice of materials such as mirror and patent leathers. The sport style was perceived by the usage of material such as PVC and moiré. My favorite style is the Allessandro d’Aqua green Mary Jane stiletto that used a combination of materials and colours creating an ultramodern sporty chic look.

2.Artsy Hippie-Chic
We could call this new trend as artsy hippie-chic look, multicultural mix style or even global fusion. The trend was seen in the floral appliqués, in the patchwork details used in handbags, clutches and sandals, in the embroidered peep toes, in the mix of material - such as leather with suede and velvet with silk. My favorite style is the Marc Jacobs’ yellow leather bootie.

3.Sparkling SeasonRhinestone details and Swarovski crystal was seen in many accessories this season. I can bet that the Fall Winter 08 will be a sparkling and expensive season.

Hugocreate.com

Quite impressive the online campaign created by Hugo Boss to promote their Hugo perfume. The company used as a marketing tool an online graphic design contest at www.hugocreate.com that gave the well known Hugo bottle a whole new meaning. The contest gives an opportunity to new talented designers around the world to showcase their work and creativity. Hugo Boss marketers should be praise due to the great rate of public interaction and word-of-mouth generated by the contest. As a graphic designer myself, I already picked my favorite winner design from the Brazilian Carla Garofalo Tavares.

Mimo new label

Antique Chinese graphics were the inspiration for my new label. I wanted to mix handcrafted details in a graphic that would also bring a feminine appeal to the brand. The handcrafted characteristic was given by the rough recyclable paper and the feminine appeal was shown by the Art Noveau influences. Let me know your thoughts..

SP 08:: Mimo

I love the dramatic appeal of this floral piece. It would look great if paired up with white blouse/top and a black bottom, or simply a black dress.
