"His work is very graphic with the use of grids and so I took inspiration from his sculptures and installations," said Jacobs backstage after the show. And the escalators were a case in point. "They're a moving pattern, a rhythm, it's a mathematical equation," he said. "I just liked graphic patterns, the colour with light.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 31px;"><b>Alexander McQueen</b> perfect collection - taking honey in all its forms and working it up into the most beautiful clothes. Honeycomb mesh made for sharply-executed jackets and pencil skirts, a circular mesh disc for a new take on a beekeeper's hat up top; it then morphed into being honeycomb jacquard for more precise tailoring with cropped trousers beneath and scythe-like shoes with glistening heels that seemed to melt into existence. </span><br />

Jumpsuits leaned towards the Edwardian-Victorian train of thought with their collars and lace and ruffled bib fronts and tea dresses in pretty prints with little puffed sleeves continued down the pretty route. Snakeskin toughened up later looks (a tactic used by Erdem in London too), and worked well with the sweetness of nude pink.</span></span><br />

But rather than bells and whistles (OK, yes there were wind turbines), this was a confident outing and possibly one of the simplest (in Chanel terms), shows we've seen - which in fact speaks volumes.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 31px;"><b>John Galliano</b> It was about my ongoing fascination with modernity. I studied architecture. There are origins in Asia and Japan - which led onto the kimono and the obi belts. It's about volume really," said Gaytten after the show. "But taking away the extraneous details, less fuss, but still feminine and romantic, I hope," he said, ever so slightly nervously - which is to be expected really. It's still early days and while the house of Christian Dior has set sail with Raf Simons, the John Galliano label doesn't have the heritage behind it</span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 31px;">.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Jean Paul Gaultier</b> There was androgynous tailoring for Lennox and there were star bodysuits for Bowie and slick black dresses for Sade and of course corsetry - lots of corsetry - for Madonna. There was also a special guest appearance from Amanda Lear - in a pink sequin body suit.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In fact, this was less a fashion show and more a concert - fashion press up and out of their seats to sing and dance along to favourite sartorial soundtracks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Dior</b> There were hip-accentuated jackets that came smattered in floral motifs and there were multi-coloured shoes with the pointiest of toes and curved pin-thin heels to match. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">"It was beautiful, strange and unusual - so precise but so varied. I loved the strong romance - it was so bold with the make-up - and it followed on from the couture collection, you could see how it had evolved,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Just as we had seen those ball skirts in July, we saw them again here, teamed with black svelte tops; and where trousers had featured beneath those mini ballgown shapes before, this time they were shorts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Versace </b>There were mesh skirts and colourful, playful knits - this was a fun, fun, fun collection and, aside from the sexy bondage chain shoes, was far less aggressive than last season. Something that Versace had confessed to of her mainline collection earlier that evening too.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">With the party going on around us the clothes might have seemed a little superfluous - it can be a tricky to concentrate in said surreal situations - they were anything but and did deserve a look.

And it knows how to pack a punch.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those pure shapes came via boxy silk jackets - they began in black with a single white flower that looked like it had been spray-painted or stencilled on - and came worn with stiff pleated skirts. Jackets then morphed into wraps to slide at sharp angles off the shoulder and so set the direction for the Japanese influences that could be seen in the yet more angular-layered Judo jackets and coats and then dresses. These were Geisha girls who had been exposed to some serious flower power.</span></div>

movement of the same name.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;">Working with textures, taking inspiration from ropes and nets whilst
also looking into Arabic textiles along with local folklore. Exaggerated beauty
is the dominant statement in this collection, with the hair reflecting poise
and strength. Black clothes resemble divinity found in ancient folklore and
legend.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">George worked with his team to manifest his concept of 'Total Beauty'
which translates easily from image to runway. Set in an Avant Garde aesthetic,
the hair transcends structural elegance creating fluid geometry. The pieces
were constructed using synthetic hair treated with hairspray creating the nets,
twists and basket weave.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Being a creative & visionary to me implies a constant search and
desire to create new frontiers with hair. Being receptive to stimuli all around
me means I can create freely using hair as my means of expression." states
George. This mindset along with the cohesion of products, hair, clothes and
makeup makes Aestheticism a powerful collection.</span></span><br />

Hackett chose the beautiful Royal Opera House to show a collection ,inspired by <em style="background-color: transparent;">The Great Gatsby</em> whilst at the same time being very truly British. </div>

celebrating the cult of beauty. Throughout the collection life imitates art as
sensuality, linking to the Aestheticism manifesto. The collection began by
looking at the inter- relationship of beauty in hair, makeup and fashion and I researched heavily into the art movement of the same name.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I worked with textures, taking inspiration from ropes and nets whilst also looking into <b>Arabic textiles</b> along with local folklore. Exaggerated beauty is the dominant statement in this collection, with the hair reflecting poise and strength. Black clothes resemble divinity found in ancient folklore and legend. </span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: left;">From the early planning stages to the day of the shoot I worked with my team to manifest my concept of 'Total Beauty' in the pictures created. Set in an Avant Garde aesthetic, the hair transcends structural elegance creating fluid geometry.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">"Being a creative & visionary to me implies a constant search and desire to create new frontiers with hair. Being receptive to stimuli all around me means I can create freely using hair as my means of expression. This mindset along with the cohesion of products, hair, clothes and makeup makes <b>Aestheticism</b> a powerful collection.</span>

Entertainment, lifestyles, and clothing were liberated and entertaining. Nightlife was revolutionized, makeup heavier, and skirts shorter. Previously, clothing was used to reflect the femininity in women, rather than individuality. The notorious battle of the sexes emerged in fashion as well because while women were fighting for equal rights to men, they were also rebelling against the pain that they had to suffer for fashion beforehand. However, due to the dramatic changes of the 1920’s, there was much controversy over the dress of women and the actions that took place (Banner). Also known as the Free Years, the Jazz age, and the Art Deco period; the 1920’s was a period in which women were often ridiculed in the public eye since the past decades have been proven less risqué (Jailer-Chamberlain).</span></div>

<b>Men fashion 1920s</b><br />
The 1920s were very much an era of formalwear, as casual clothing like we think
of it today would not develop for several decades. While day and evening attire
was quite distinguishable, daywear would still consist of collared shirts,
baggy flat-front pants or knickerbockers, blazers or other smart jackets and
leather shoes. Tweed and flannel were popular fabrics for men's daywear of this
era. Eveningwear denoted tail coats and top hats, while anything more casual
was seen strictly as underwear (such as t-shirts) or work wear, rather than
street-appropriate attire.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #555555; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0cm;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

items once their visibility increased due to raised hemlines on dresses. The colour
and designs of footwear and hosiery (stockings) assumed greater importance as
part of co-ordinated outfits, which led designers and manufacturers to

Lisle stockings in trendy pastel shades were all the rage with women of all
ages. </span><b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 24px;">Started off the 1920's decade with wide brims and ended up with little or none!

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 18pt;"> Designs took their
inspiration from, and were influenced by, popular subjects of the day, like -
nature, the Orient, and ancient Egypt. Simple jewellery designs based on
geometric shapes and incorporating semi-precious stones were in vogue. Platinum
was the "in" metal of the 1920's. Flappers typically wore long
strings of beads. Beautiful jewelled brooches and long pins were used to help
hold clothes in position, while also doubling as dress ornamentation.</span><br />

<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_13331429012252396">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's not that easy to answer the question, "what is fashion?" because it means different things to different people. Fashion is an art. It's a religion. It's a job. It's a peek into a personality. It's playfulness. It's an escape or a disguise. It is a feast for the eyes. But ultimately, fashion is an individual statement of expression for each of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">French fashion designer Coco Chanel once said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dressesonly. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">It's true. Fashion isn't defined solely by our clothing choices, but is also conveyed through the way we carry ourselves, our personalities and our views of the world.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">At its most fundamental (and straight from the dictionary), fashion is simply the prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">So, who exactly answers the question "what is fashion"? Who decides what's fashionable and what isn't? What's in or what's out? </span></div>
<div>

<b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Fashion Designers</b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The iconic fashion houses - Prada, Gucci, Chanel - are referred to as haute couture, French for "high sewing." These designers lead the way in creating trend-setting fashion. While some of their designs are outrageous and completely unrealistic when it comes to everyday wear, generally the theme is adapted into versions suitable for wearing.</span><br />

<div>
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Celebrities</b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A prime example of a celebrity-driven fashion trend? UGGs. Until Kate Hudson and Jessica Simpson were spotted wearing them around L.A. several years ago, no one had given any thought to UGG boots. Now they are everywhere.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Media</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fashion trends are often sparked by characters on popular television shows and movies as well as adopted from magazine pages. "Sex and the City," "The Devil Wears Prada," these shows introduced us to new, cutting-edge designs. While you might not be caught dead wearing a Carrie Bradshaw original, you might take ideas inspired from her look and piece together your own creation. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Musicians</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Musicians have always been very influential when it comes to dictating fashion. Rock 'n' roll is fashion. Elvis is an iconic example. In the 1950s, everyone wanted to dress like Elvis. What about the heavy metal hair bands so popular in the 1980s? Axl Rose reinvented the head bandana while Poison, Motley Crue and Bon Jovi set the pace for big, rocker hair.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Madonna</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> had many looks during the 80’s. Her ability to perpetually re-style herself has certainly contributed to the longevity of her career. One was her most iconic looks from the 80s was the wavy hair with highlights. Girls went to the salons in droves to get the “poodle” looking perms so their hair was wavy too. They pulled it up in bows like she did to copy her look in the Borderline video and movie, “Desperately Seeking Susan.” A black tank top, skirt, dirty bleached blonde hair and an attitude.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Madonna may be one of the first pioneers of the messy chic look of the 80’s. She started the layered look, with shirts and coats and more shirts. A lace shirt was often worn over another shirt. Or a sweatshirt with an oversized neck or cut off sleeves was worn over a smaller shirt or bra.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Her layers also included accessories. She wore multiple necklaces and bracelets, some with crosses and other iconography. She also favored pearls and beads. Her earrings were long and dangly, with crosses or religious symbols.</span></div>

Fashion Week may be over this season but we are all ready to embrace next season's trends for Hair and Beauty. Will you be rocking a sideways parting, a low slung pony or searching for the sleekest, straightest hair imaginable?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.elleuk.com/var/elleuk/storage/images/beauty/hair/hair-trends/aw12-hair-trends-round-up/sideways-slant2/13584915-2-eng-GB/sideways-slant_GA.jpg" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Sloping Sideways:</b> Why stick with a plain boring sideways parting which is quite frankly, so last year darling, when you can shift your focus sideways and inject a shot of volume to your locks? Brush your hair to the side like in the Peter Som, Matthew Williamson and Margaret Howell shows to create a sleek, masculine edge to your AW12 look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>The Low Slung Pony: </b>If you are looking to update your look in a simple but stylish way then this is the trend you should follow. Neatly tied at the nape of the neck, this nonchalant style has been the must have look on the catwalks of Antonio Berardi, House of Holland and Erdem.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Keep it Straight: </b>This trend is not about harking back to the early 00's when poker straight hair which had been ironed to with an inch of its life reigned supreme, Oh no! This is sleek and elegant straight that is glossy and shiny and oozes health. Victoria Beckham, Jonathan Saunders and DKNY are the designers championing this trend, will you be following their example? </div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> The collection itself was miles away from anything offered previously from the diffusion line. Dresses that looked as if they had been made from the purest gossamer threads, embroidered with thick, botanical prints were paraded down the catwalk along with monochrome woollen dresses and 'Vamp-ish' red lace dresses. It was definitely a stellar McQ show that harked back to the</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">McQueen</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> heritage whilst still appealing to a wider, more conventional audience.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="IMG_1895" src="http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/.a/6a00e5508e95a98833016301c0ef23970d-700wi" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Of course this is a major fashion achievement and something which has caused a flurry of excitement to sweep through the fashion crowd, but what really caught my attention was the intricate hairstyles designed by Guido Palau. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">McQueen</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> has been a constant source of inspiration for hairdressers worldwide and the McQ show did not disappoint. Compared with the fashion shows Guido and I worked on during NYFW where effortlessly chic glamour was on the agenda, the McQ show presented a strong, structural look that was styled with precision.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The main look of the show and no doubt the most talked about look of the show (pictured above) was inspired by a 1940's hair roll with Guido exaggerating this technique to create an Avant Garde, high fashion appearance. The model's own hair is swept upwards and then rolled around a giant hair doughnut to create the rounded, disc appearance. It is a long and slightly painful process (for the model anyway) but it is one that is used time and time again in the world of hairdressing.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">What are your thoughts on this collection?

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> Dubai fashion week kicked off with a spectacular
opening show in front of an awesomely
attired pack of VIP fashionistas filling out the front row. And glam guests enjoyed
a dazzling show of frocks, fabulous music and even an Arabian filly on the sandy catwalk. I really loved eyeing up new season designs by the hottest
regional fashion talents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Galliano's full name is <b>Juan Carlos Antonio
Galliano-Guillén. </b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">He was born
in Gibraltar to a Spanish mother, Anita and has two
sisters. Galliano's father was a plumber. His family moved to England
in pursuit of work when Galliano was six and settled in Streatham, South
London, before moving to Dulwich and later to Brockley. He was raised
in a strict Roman Catholic family which made him shy and different from others
making it a struggle to fit in. Recalling his early days, he once admitted:
"I don’t think people here understood where I was coming from." His
mother, a Flamenco teacher, would dress him in his
"smartest" outfit even for a trip to the local shops</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

signatures, as have been imaginative hats made in collaboration with Stephen
Jones. From Yemeni tribes to a camp California Valley of the Dolls, no
reference was too far-flung for a Galliano interpretation. This cultural
omnivorousness makes an ironic counterpoint to reports of his recent behavior. </span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">John Galliano shows and John Galliano
characters—including, might as well add, John Galliano himself—tend to be drawn
a bit larger than life. Bill Gaytten, now stewarding the house, must be
intimately familiar with this. And for his new thirties-inspired show, he
looked to the work of J.C. Leyendecker and Norman Rockwell, illustrators for
the famous Saturday Evening Post covers of the era. Their men were supermen,
too. Call it a tip of the hat from one fabulist to his fellows.</span></span><br />

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Miniskirts had been getting shorter since about 1958. Mary Quant considered to be practical and liberating ,allowing women the ability to run for a bus. The mini skirt which she is arguably most famous for,became one of the defining fashions of the 1960s. The Miniskirt was developed separately by Andre Courreges the french designer, and there's disagreement as to who came up with the idea first like most fashions. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Hairstyles of the
1920s created more controversy in hair fashion than in any other period of
American culture.

Although actresses and a few advanced or fashionable women had worn short hair even before Word War l -for example in 1910 the French actress Polaire is described as having a shock of short dark hair a cut she appears to have adopted in early 1890s. The style was not considered respectable until given impetus by the </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">inconvenience of long hair to girls engaged in war work. Renowned dancer and fashion trendsetter Irene Castle introduced her Castle Bob to receptive American audience in 1915. Popularised by film Star Colleen Moore and Louise Brooke in the early 1920s ,it was then seen as a somewhat shocking statement of independence in young women. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

sacrifice as shorn cascades of crowning glories tumbled to the floors of

that time, the-cutting-of-hair was still a male-dominated occupation. In
some cities, long lines of women were reported standing outside barbershops

bobbed. In New York City, reports of up to 2,000 heads.</span></span><br />

bobbed hair controversy still raged. A teacher in Jersey City, New Jersey
was actually ordered by her Board of Education to let her hair grow! The
Board claimed that women waste too much time fussing with bobbed locks.
Preachers warned parishioners that “a bobbed woman is a disgraced woman.”
Men divorced their wives over bobbed hair. One large department store
fired all employees wearing bobbed hair.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

But in sacrificing , at the instigation of her husband , Monsieur Will, tresses measuring some 1.58 meters (about 5 feet) she involuntarily anticipated fashion by at least a decade . This was in 1903 , when , in the company of a similarly coiffed Polaire and an Opra- hatted Willy, her appearance in a theater box created a scandal , causing Willy to be know along the boulevards as " the man with two monkey!.</span></div>

worse, the bold and daring flapper pushed the envelope even further when she
subjected herself to the shingle bob causing even more controversy. In a
letter to the editor of a professional hair publication, one parent deplored
this newest version of the bob: “From the rear, it is hard to tell a girl
from a boy, since the advent of the shingle bob.” And, “I’ve raised my
girls to be women and my boys to be men, but since the advent of this shingle
bob, I have to look twice at my own offspring to tell which is which."</span></span></div>
