Fashion Shows - Pussycat Dolls in Lingeries

From bumping and grinding in a burlesque troupe, to creating a class "A" act in Las Vegas that has attracted such "A-list" guest celebrities as Paris Hilton, Scarlett Johannson, Eva Longoria to creating a reality TV show Girlicious, the Pussycat Dolls sure know how to make things hot and sexy.

They are ready to shake their booty on the catwalk in Los Angeles Fashion Week.

Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin showed her sexy lingerie collection called "...shhh" intoned Robin because it's "our little secret" he added.

Combining sex with fashion, burlesque with the catwalk, the Pussycat Dolls put on a show that brought out celebrities like Quincy Jones, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, among others.

They know how to put on a show, and this show was no exception as they intertwined the catwalk - walk with burlesque skits and Pussycat Dolls musical interludes, turning the fashion show into an entertainment event.

The braless look was very much prevalent on the catwalk. Black high heel stiletto shoes added height and sex appeal to them.

Adding to the braless look, one model wore a low "u" shape tank top without a bra, with sexy black denim micro mini skirt with the words PUSSYCAT blazing in red letters, knee high black stiletto boots and thigh high black leggings.

Leggings or stocking under micro mini skirts or booty shorts are a definite fall trend. Legs are definitely in, or out and on display for the fall.

We also love those hot leopard skin pattern thongs, especially when coupled with thigh high black stockings with garter belts and those ultra sexy black high heel stiletto shoes.

One model wore a white, gray and black tank top combination complete with the braless look, and boy shorts tied at the side. Another model wore ruffle thong panties, white bra with horizontal black Baby doll top with orange boy shorts was worn by a tall blonde model.

More stripes were also seen on the models, including a white string thong with black horizontal stripes with matching white bra and horizontal black stripes.
At the Closing, the real Pussycat Dolls - Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton and Ashley Roberts donned their own boy shorts and bustiers to perform the sexy closing number.

Fashion Trends - The Pirelli 2008 Calendar

Accoring to Pirelli's Official site, the Calendar is a communication symbol for Pirelli. It was their 1964 edition that gave the Pirelli calendar the international famedom. The 35th edition of "The Cal" is the first ever to be realized in Aisa. It is an exceptional visiting card to bring the world of Pirelli to the public of the Orient. The 2008 Calendar is set entirely in Shanghai the picturesque streets of the old French Concession, the splendid gardens of the former British Legation, the mysterious and sensual atmosphere of forbidden China, the convulsive Nanjing Road and the characteristic tea houses constitute the background for the camera shots that will grace the coming months.



The twenty-three intense portraits recount the pomp of ancient China, with its splendour and the colours in which the Oriental myth of female beauty - perfection, purity, grace - is searched out. "Very often I find Western people seem to go for the more cliché Chinese faces: long hair, slanted eyes. All that has changed I think. Many Chinese women are graceful; I think we have an inner grace that's more rare than you find in the West," affirmed Maggie Cheung, the well-known Chinese actress.

The photographer for the Pirelli 2008 calendar is Patrick Demarchelier.


Here is the promotional video for the Pirelli 2008 Calendar.

Fashion Magazine - A Difficult Choice

Like the women who read them, fashion magazines come in all sizes and varieties. One size does not fit all and the question remains on whether Vogue is far better than Elle, or if W Magazine is superior to them all. Over the years fashion magazines have evolved into a separate genre altogether. Editors have worked hard to establish an audience within a very crowded but popular market. This is of course great news for the budding and veteran fashionistas who seem to have an almost unlimited amount of choices on the magazine rack.

Fashion Magazines have grown to encompass so much more than fashion in many cases to allow publishers to broaden their appeal to a much wider audience, while others stoically cover fashion and fashion only.

Vogue Magazine


Undoubtedly, Vogue sets the standard by which all other fashion magazines are based or judged. At almost one century old, Vogue is the veteran of the genre and enjoys immense popularity and arguably the most name recognition amongst the popular fashion magazines. Designs in Vogue are popular established brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Prada & Chanel. Vogue is strictly haute couture. Famous for the large size of their fashion spreads, the famous fall fashion issue can easily exceed 700 pages.

Every month Vogue Magazine features articles in health, fitness, travel, and an inside look into the home of famous celebrity designers. Though Vogue includes these features, the magazines strength lies primarily in the larger than life layouts with top models and designers.

Elle Magazine


Like Vogue, Elle Magazine features high fashion but the main focus is on designer lines more accessible and affordable than some of the more expensive lines like Prada, or Chanel. Elle Magazine features comprehensive and large fashion spreads as well as expansive sections on accessories and beauty are a mainstay in.

However, Elle Magazine has worked hard to expand its audience. Working aggressively worked to broaden their readership by including articles normally found in popular women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Glamour. Elle, while staying true to its fashion magazine roots is seeking to redefine the genre by becoming a fashion magazine that also features serious women’s issues.

Harpers Bazaar


Harpers Bazaar is definitely for the true fashion enthusiast. Collections from all the fashion capitals are featured - New York , Milan and Paris giving its readers a broad eye view of upcoming collections from around the globe. Issues routinely include color themes and sizable accessory sections.

Harpers Bazaar works hard to set itself apart from the rest of the fashion magazines. Bucking the trend to delve into the territory of other popular women’s magazines, Harpers only features articles that are fashion related. This is evident in its slight size as Harpers is the smallest of the magazines in this particular genre. Harpers Bazaar is also the most affordable of the fashion magazines at only $8 per year.

W Magazine


W Magazine has been categorized as the most artistic of the fashion tomes. Weighty in size, W devotes a sizable amount of pages to their fashion spreads, allowing for a more unique and creative vision. W gives limited coverage to the older fashion lines like Versace and the like, and looks to the future with the hot up and coming designers like Kate Spade.

The increased popularity of celebrity weeklies is evident in W, as a large amount of the articles are devoted to celebrities and celebrity fashions. W has become a great blend between a fashion magazine and a celebrity mag. It is a perfect choice for those interested in what their favorite celebrity personalities are wearing, what their doing, and the latest fashion trends.

Fashion Trends - Primadonna Fall Winter 08/09 Collection

To search for the origin of Prima Donna, we need to go back to 1865, when it was founded in Germany by Salomon Lindauer. Lindaur’s primary focus for Prima Donna was to provide a perfect fit for large and naturally shaped women. The company evolved from providing primarily corsets to manufacturing bras for large-breasted women. Prima Donna changed hands from S. Lindauer & Co, (Wilhelm Meyer-Ilschen in 1938) to the current company in 1990, Van de Velde of Belgium. Van de Velde revitalized the line and made priorities of comfort, fashion, and fit. Prima Donna has been renowned for over 140 years for their perfectly-fitting luxury lingerie. Their longevity and success proves that fit and fashion hold a timeless appeal.

Designer Fashion - Lascivious Lingerie Fall Winter Collection 2008/2009

Lascivious is back with new collections of lingeries. The collection is very seductive and features Lou, Dusky, Kitty and Midori.

Lou is a seductive mix of darted black tulle over a baby pink background. It is highlighted with ruffled elastic and picot ribbon and features a front opening bra and a G-String to make your lover melt.

Button is a strong collection that mixes black and nude mesh to dramatic effect. The collection features provocative cut-out sections and an innovative use of button hole elastic to create frame and glimpses of skin.

The Dusky collection contrasts dusky pink satin and black basketball jersey to create a look that is strong and seductive yet still cute and playful.

The Kitty collection is an incredible combination of flattering voluminous tulle placed to accent your curves and easily accessible openings designed to make you look gorgeous whilst giving you complete freedom to play!

A sultry collection of fine pleated black net contrasted with black satin binding, Midori contains elements for a knowing, naughty sophistication.

Fashion Clothing - Natasha Poly in Ripped Jeans

If you always thought the ripped denim trend was out and couldn't look hot, it's time for your to think again. Natasha Poly does the job brilliantly (well actually, she's smoking hot) in the June/July 2008 issue of Vogue Paris. Poly models ripped jeans, shorts and jackets - paired with super-hot thigh-high boots - for the shoot.

To see more photos of Natasha Poly from the shoot see Fashionising.
