1950's era of rock-n-roll & pin-up girls inspire Erika Hendrix



German fashion designers Erika Hendrix is set to debut her Spring/Summer 2010 collection in February 2010. The collection is inspired from the vintage 1950's era of rock-n-roll and pin-up girls. This theme is illustrated throughout the collection by the use of bows & ribbons, round collars, poodle skirts, and rompers, with a distinct motif that cohesively brings every piece together. 


"I just love the 1950's style. The clothes, the music, the hair, everything! The cuts were so flattering and also sexy without showing a lot of skin," says the designer. "I think I took more of a risk with this collection with the prints and cuts." The SS 2010 collection mainly uses cotton fabrics with pastel colors, leopard and berry prints. The German designer recruited Caroline B. from Most Wanted Models to model in the campaign, and boasts 30 pieces that will range from sizes XS-L. 


"I think by having a boutique I see first hand what people want and what looks good on them. So I keep that in mind with every piece I design. I am always inspired by everything. I could be putting out a collection every 2 weeks," Erika states. "I don't look at what other designers are doing. I don't look at what's in style. I do my own thing and get inspired by everyday life."

Dirty talk: Why you may not need to wash your jeans


Here’s a New Year’s Resolution: give up washing your jeans for months at a time.





Even if you wear them five days a week, no one will ever know, according to an interesting study out of Australia.


For her Master’s thesis, Melbourne University student Tullia Jack found 30 volunteers who agreed to wear their jeans at least five days a week for three months, reports Adelaide Now. (One zealous participant, concerned that his pants weren’t getting dirty enough, even went running in them and slept in them at night.) Half of the participants reported not wanting to wear their jeans at about the six-week mark. But the other half wanted to keep wearing them unwashed even after the experiment was over, says Ms Jack.

In the end, the three-month-wear jean didn’t stink, and they didn’t even look all that dirty, aside from odd stain of tuna or motor oil. “They just smell like people,” Ms. Jack explained in a video interview.When she consulted a scientist about the lack of odour, she says, it was suggested that the “bacteria reached a peak population” and then stopped growing.


The concept of the experiment was to explore social norms around cleanliness and washing, so Ms. Jack was anticipating some smelly jeans by the end of it.


Instead, she says, the study showed that, to save the environment, people should be washing their jeans - and clothes in general - a lot less. “When you take something off, air it out,” she says, or spot clean a stain.


According to a page on Facebook, “Wearing the same jeans everyday,” there are a few people already trying this experiment at home. (Judging from a couple of the comments, it appears to end most often when some well-meaning (i.e. grossed-out) adult relative tosses the jeans in the wash.)

What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without washing a pair of jeans? Think anyone notices?

Andres Aquino’s ‘Fantaisie Nocturne’ in spotlight at CFW


Andres Aquino’s latest couture collection, "Fantaisie Nocturne," will be shown at Couture Fashion Week (CFW) on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria.

The collection is inspired by the sophisticated beauty of the art of Erte - the father of Art Deco - and the whimsical art of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Sumptuous fabrics, embroideries and exquisite trimmings feature prominently in the collection.

Fantaisie Nocturne fuses the sophistication of Paris with the energy of New York.

"I love art, poetry, architecture, dance and history," says Mr. Aquino. "All of these influence the components of color, romance and fun I strive to incorporate into my fashion designs. Paris has always inspired poets and artists, and New York energizes the creative process."

The show will open with Princess Tarinan Von Anhalt’s Jet Art label. Jet Art’s latest collection features luxury original and giclee denims and accessories. The evening culminates in the Andres Aquino evening couture collection, accompanied by an array of entertainers.

Andres Aquino, a successful entrepreneur and founder and producer of Couture Fashion Week, is also a writer, poet and fine art photographer. He has received multiple awards for his contribution to the fashion industry including the EL Award (El Diario New York), Legacy Award (Latin Fashion Week, Washington, D.C.), and Style Fashion Leader & Inspiration Award (SUNY Westchester Community College), among others.
