	<content:encoded><![CDATA[  By Marcellous L. Jones  May 30, 2009    Lodz, Poland  - Fall Winter 2009/2010 will be one of a certain dream world with angular cuts set on fuzzy fabrics with unfinished edges. Polish designer Beata Jarmolowska has decided to cover the body with warm colorful prints. For this one needs only look towards her belted knee length coat in multiple colors. She has successfully brought the pieces together into a unified collection through the use of crystals and sparking silvery threads for an effect that is both dark and romantic&.  Though some dresses are cut extremely short, long boots arrive up the leg to make up the difference. The designer cannot resist the temptation of showing lots of flesh. The shoulders are bare and the neckline revealing.   Jarmolowska should be very careful to rework certain fundamental elements of certain garments such as her raised necklines.  In one printed dress in black with red floral prints, the neck is raised from a pleated panel in red. The neck has many structural flaws which causes the garment to appear under stress and too fragile.  However, such a flaw as this is not enough to take away from the fact that she has a true eye for mixing a plethora of opposing colors and prints into tableau which reflects an air of harmony.    ]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[   By Marcellous L. Jones     Photo by Thomas Floyd             June 29, 2009               Paris, France  - In a surprising move for SS 2010, Masatomo has decided to throw in vivid blues into his collection of black, white and greys. We find the blue hues and shades interpreted as summer sky scenes in the suits, shirts and other pieces.  The designer has taken silk organza fabrics and added them over tulle for a very light feeling on the body. He has skilfully cut his leathers into perfectos, blazers and zipper embellished short cropped jackets with hoods.    Always enthusiastic about touches of couture, he adds hand cut flowers to his pieces. They in turn are sewn one by one onto the garments and by hand. His blazer in white with shoelace strings on the front drew instant praise from the journalists in attendance as did the long black coat with tails. Its cut is remarkable and serves as a testimony to the designers crafting skills.   In accessories, Masatomo has created sleek, pointed-toe boots. They rise just below the calf muscles and have panels removed.   Python skins and mini pockets, perhaps the most fetish elements in Masatomos design universe, are seen in the collection. Python appears in the jackets and blazers of impeccable cuts. The mini pockets decorate his pants in blue sky prints.      ]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[  By Marcellous L. Jones     Photo by Thomas Floyd           June 29, 2009            Paris, France  - Lanvin has a decidedly more edgy collection for Spring/Summer 2010. Shown at the Salle Wagram next to the Champs-Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe, the show drew the attention of R&B mega-star Usher Raymond. The star granted pre-show interviews in which he commented on his love of Lanvin.   Im just here and am excited about being at the show, said he. Its great to be in Paris and to be able to attend the fashion show of a brand that I really like.  Lucas Ossendrijver has given attention to an even sharper look for the new season to come. The cuts are done closer to the body. The blazers from suits appear at time with no sleeves.  Done in black for the most part, the collection does find some silhouettes with loser fitting pants, high waist bands and pleats in blacks, multi-coloured splash prints and plaids.   Ultra light fabrics are too found in such pieces as the trench coat.  Shorts, supple pieces for leisure like the plaid tank tops and lose fitting pants banded at the ankles serve notice that Lanvin is also a youthful brand as well as the brand for businessmen.   As for accessories we find micro-thin belts, tennis style hats, sandals, pointed shoes colour rich hues.  Lots eyewear is also found in the collection. The mixing of classic cuts and sportswear made for a very energetic collection.     ]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[     By Marcellous L. Jones      The American born model Jason Fedele began his modeling career at the age of 18.         He is most noted for his versatility as a model and for the effortless sensuality and natural sex appeal that he exudes.    Since the earliest days of his career, he has travelled the world making public appearances and fulfilling contractual obligations to some of the worlds most exclusive fashion brands.     When Fedele began modeling, the industry was dominated by Europes male models. Thanks to the proper management, he quickly came to the attention of Calvin Klein. Through his collaborations with this American juggernaut in the fashion business, he was quickly recognized as a male supermodel. His work with Calvin Klein then led him to other impressive work with Gucci, Versace, Ermenegildo Zegna, etc. However, it was his work for Gucci that saw him being acknowledged as an irresistible force in the industry.     This Fall Winter 1997/1998 Gucci campaign was shot by the superstar photographer Patrick Demarchelier and styled by Carine Roitfeld (now editor-in-chief at the Paris edition of  Vogue  magazine). In it Jason is seen in sexually provocative poses with other leading models of the day like Kiera. They were dressed in sexy clothes, had dazed, withdrawn looks on their faces and their eyes had been much darkened through black, yet glowing makeup. This campaign is single-handedly accredited with ushering in the dawn of the much controversial heroin chic look!    That period also saw Fedele star in Guccis Envy fragrance ad campaigns. He went on to collect other campaigns for other globally prestigious brands including Hugo Boss and Moschino. They along with his presence on the runways of Paris, Milan and New York lead to him being considered as one of the most complete models of our times.     Jason Fedele stands tall at nearly 62 inches and is a natural blond.    His eyes are blue and his waist fluctuates between 31.5 inches and 32 inches. He is American.     ]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[   By Marcellous L. Jones       April 1, 2009       Paris, France  -  Giambattista Valli is one of the rare designers or houses to show a new Fall Winter 2009/2010 collection truly designed for winter. With long, ankle-reaching elements and subdued colours, he forecasts a winter season of great reserve.   In times of economic crises, hemlines tend to rise, but at Valli they fall only inches above the ankles. This strikes a strong contrat from practically all the other major players from Paris have been pretty much opting for extremely short cut dresses and skirts which generally reach midway down the thighs. These lengths are found in his long cloak coats, the dresses and skirts in mohair, wool and felt.   He has given balloon sleeves to his blouses and even similar volumes to his pants. This is perhaps the most extravagant element in this new collection. Some of the pants are pleated at the waist and tapered at the ankles.   Valli is a master at creating flamboyant, eye-popping creations. However this season, he has preferred to grab attention through impeccably made details. For instance, he has created several dresses that are asymmetrically draped in pleats. The standout of this is his gown in teal with its single shoulder. The pleated draping makes the waist appear extremely skinny.   And finally, he has thrown in peacock prints into some gowns. This is just a small reminder to let us know that the Valli woman is not only one of style, but of a certain nature that compels her to desire a bit of attention no matter the social situations in which she may find herself. ]]></content:encoded>

	<title>MARIE BISHARA CONFIRMS PLACE AMONG EUROPEAN DESIGNERS</title>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[   By Marcellous L. Jones       Photo Courtesy of Marie Bishara      March 18, 2009        Paris, France     - The word delicate is the all-important adjective that describes and defines the look of the new collection by the Egyptian designer, Marie Bishara. The designer in a follow-up to her warmly received Spring/Summer 2009 debut collection in Paris, chose the Carousel du Louvre for the unveiling of her latest collection.   This new Fall Winter 2009/2010 collection is less couture and more ready-to-wear when compared to Bisharas spring collection. She has focused on natural colours worn effortlessly during the day and then again in the evening with the right accents of jewellery.   Embroideries are one of the defining elements of Bisharas work. Hers are especially handmade in her own ateliers situated in southern Egypt. They are very different from what we are used to seeing as they are created from various natural and hard elements sucd as wood-like in appearance piees.   We do see bursts of colour in the collection with her red leather skirt worn with a Bordeaux blouse with hand crystal embroideries. The skirts are youthful with their wallet form and little belt and small coats. The brown leather ensemble composed of a skirt dress with the top being in tulle is accessorized with a matching coat with embroideries replicated on the skirt.   The limited flaw in the collection is found in the shoulder work in certain of the more structured silhouettes. Certain pieces such as the jackets reveal slight flaws in technique. However, this does not prevent the designer from confirming her place on the catwalks of Europe.   Bisharas clear strength is cocktail wear. This was established with her Spring 2009 collection and confirmed in this new collection. She has created a delicious little A line cocktail dress with gold embroideries and a simple black satin T-shirt cocktail dress with draped and embroidered front. Bishara decided to close out the show with a gorgeous, long A-line evening gown. The neck and shoulders are traced in large, round black jet stones. ]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[    By Marcellous L. Jones & Staff     December 16, 2008        Paris, France  - The holidays traditionally present a moment of difficulty for many shoppers. What to buy? Would he like this ? Or would she like that?  These are often times the questions that torture use most. However, TheFashionInsider.com  has put together a varied list of winning gift ideas which are bound to please anyone.   The most novel product to offer this year has to be the Swimp3. This revolutionary product allows you to listen to your favorite music while get this, swimming!!! This product is an invention of FINIS, Inc., founded by John Mix and Olympic Gold Medalist, Pablo Morales. Originally developed for competitive swimmers, it is also great for anyone who enjoys swimming. With it, you will hit the pool for hours while reshaping your silhouettes.   On the pure fashion front, I enthusiastically recommend anything from Paul & Joe (for both men & women), Jeroen van Tuyl (menswear), Emanuel Ungaro (particularly the mens line), Versace, John Varvatos (either his fashions or his cosmetics products like his dynamite facial scrub), Dirk Bikkembergs (anything from Dirk is a MUST), Moschino, Calvin Klein, Ramona Filip (available in Greece), Miro (available in Greece), Joe Fresh (everything is under $30); and accessories from Barbara Bui.   Mens sportwear brand Celio always has really great things for men. This year, they have cachmere sweaters on sale for only 79 Euros. Sportswear brand Lacoste is also a good pick. Because both companies have so many boutiques and distribution points around the world, they are always accessible to most.   As for top fragrances, I still say that anything from Kenzo will do. Fragrances from Issey Miyake, Paco Rabanne and Cartier are also the way to go. Lingerie is always a winner too. Brands like Victorias Secret s, Chantal Thomass are always the winning way to go. Otherwise Sloggi (lingerie) and HOM (mens underwear) offer seductive choices but at far more reasonable prices. For some out of this world excitement and inspirational long nights, check out Dirk Bikkembergss golden underwear. Theyll put some excitement into any boring Monday or Tuesday night.   The objects design company, Enki, proposes a variety of decorative pieces for both home and office. This company, which specializes in pieces created from ancient techniques dating back to the Persian Empire, creates beautiful objects ranging from vases to hollow bowls and lighting fixtures in elegant black and silver. These pieces are also readily available for online purchase at  http://enki-shop.42stores.com  .   For those with larger budget in mind, art is always a good idea too. That is where experienced art dealer Luc Revillon dApreval comes in with his stable of artists and designers who dream up creative furniture pieces and decorative art objects for any environment of taste. To see what gorgeous things you can find from his acclaimed artists, head on over to  http://www.revillondapreval.com .

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[    Marcellous L. Jones        September 22, 2008          Paris, France   -   Phillip Bloch is considered to be the leading fashion stylist to Hollywood s royalty. For more than a decade, he has built a dream list of celebrity clients whom he has transformed for red carpet appearances at the Oscars and Golden Globes as well as for the covers and pages of such references as  In Style ,  Vogue,   US,  and  Entertainment Weekly .  His work is associated with Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Vivica A. Fox, Jim Carrey, John Travolta, Sandra Bullock, Faye Dunaway, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.   Bloch, literally a multi-faceted one-man author, actor, writer, fashion guru, and spokesperson, now appears in the new VH1 reality television series, Glam God with Viviva A. Fox . Witty and outspoken, he jokingly admits to solving world peace, cancer or AIDSduring his spare time all while getting to work with Ms. Fox, his best friend. Just after the shows première, TheFashionInsider.com  managed to catch up to Phillip in New York for an old fashion, tell-all interview. Here are the excerpts from our interview      FI: How long have you and Vivica Fox known each other?     PB:     Weve been friends for years. She did a television show, and I styled her for the cover of TV Guide ,  and we became friends... As it goes, you have your red carpet friends, then you have your Hollywood friends and then you have real friends. Viv and I are real friends. I love her, and can honestly say that we are real friends, and it shows in 'Glam God'. Once in a while, there is a camaraderie that is evident. 'In Sex and the City' , there seemed to be that among the actress      FI: LOL!!! Yeah, but there wasnt any camaraderie among the actresses in  Sex and the City  !       PB:    LOL!!! But with Viv and me, there is a genuine friendship, and it comes off. We walk, talk and think a like. We went to lunch together on Saturday. Then we went out a few hours later for drinks.     FI: How did the idea come about to do this show?      PB:    Viv was already having meetings with VH1. Id been with VH1 for years doing commentating. I was told that she was clear from the beginning that she wanted to work with me. She did all of the development with 51 Minds     FI: What were the challenges you faced in making the show come together?      PB:    I think that there was timing. Vivs an actress. 51 has never done fashion before. It went on forever. It started a year ago. We did the pilot in December (2007). It got picked up in February. Then there was the question of how I would fit into the show? Would I be a host or a judge or would I be a mentor? Everyone has opinions as to how things should be. But we all made it work Every couple of years some really great idea for television comes along to shake up the industry. You know there was like Desperate Housewives   and then Ugly Betty . And at 51 Minds, they have really done it with 'Glam God' .      FI: What makes Glam God so unique in a television industry already so dominated today by reality programs:      PB :    There are not tons of them out there on fashion. Theres Project Runway   and Americas Next Tom Model . People love fashion. Its always been a challenge to get to work in fashion. Vivs a movie star doing television. Lots of stars are doing it. Theres Kyra Sedgwick and Holly Hunter. Its fun. 'Project Runway'  and 'Americas Next Top Model'  are series. But we are really fun. And its got Viv and me!      FI: Any early front runners yet for the ultimate title?      PB:     Tiger Lily is phenomenal. She is a force! She wins nearly every challenge. I love Chris too. Someone I like for his intensity.     FI: What can you tell us about the contestants so far?      PB:     The kids on the show are very different. When I started in the business as a stylist, no one was famous. Kevin OCoin was really the first behind the scenes person to become publicly known. People like Rachel Zoe and Pat McGrath worked to become known. We did about 10 years and a half to get to where we are. These kids are like, Im here to be in front of the camera to build their brand You know, Im Phillip fucking Bloch!!! I never said those things until like a year ago. It was offensive to me. They made it clear that they were about the show and not the business of styling.    One day, Viv and I looked at each and were like, Who do the people think they are? At day one point I had a meltdown. I was like the show is called Glam God with Vivica A. Fox !  Its not Glam God  with Phillip Bloch or any of you! Some of them were just way too much. One of them even threw a party, but he was eliminated early on!      FI: So-called really TV is at times greatly scripted and is often not a true measurement of what it takes to make it in certain industries. How did Glad God get around that?      PB:    I love that you ask that question. We were not scripted. We had to deliver challenge points so that everyone would understand the challenges and in the same way. We would all like be in the car together when some of them were given to us. We would take time to put things in our own words so that it would not be really scripted.     FI: How did you manage to keep your own focus with all of the personalities about?      PB:     Viv and I had a long conversation. I think that over the years, I have never put myself before any of my clients. Then I did my TV show afterwards. I think that these kids need to learn that even after this show is over and that after a winner has been chosen, much learning about being a real stylist will still remain.     FI: Is it hard watching yourself on television or reading about yourself?      PB:     I had to be clear with myself about why I am doing it. Marsha Nelson and Salma Hayek helped me to understand those things early on. I had smart people to help me learn how to read about myself. But with that, I still say that its important to not believe in your own hype.      FI: As one of Hollywoods most famed fashion stylists of the past decade and of our day, you had to work really hard to get there. How can your own experiences benefit aspiring stylists who seek to carve out a career in the industry?      PB:     Its a little different today. When I started, Lauren Scott was already working in Hollywood before me. I was the one in the right place, at the right time and with the right personality. No one will ever replace Kevin or me. People are like, Im going to replace you. Im like no youre not. We have different references It is different today, and you will do it your way.   I give them tips of the trade. You give love and knowledge. You hope they will do more and with dignity. Its not about the fame. Its about the work. When I was a model, I modelled for [Jean-Paul] Gaultier, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, etc. I didnt do it to be famous. I did it for the work.     FI: Are there any plans in the works to film part of Glam God in Paris ?      PB:    Its funny that you mention it. I said that we should go to Paris and to New York . I think that would be great. We could come up with a great series of challenges      FI: What advice do you have for anyone wanting to break into the industry?      PB:     Volunteer to work for free! Do internships! Youve got to earn your way up in this business. People ask me all the time for things as if I can wave a magic wand Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he will never be hungry again.   I love this expression... I taught myself.   Also, being a stylist you have to have a personality. Stars have to want to spend time with you. The reality is that 90% of stylists all go to the same showrooms and see the same things. The difference is personality At times, a stylist is like the court jester but with good taste. Hes there to entertain, make everyone happy and look good. LOL!!!   ]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[      August 15, 2008        Florence     ,  Italy      - As the sunny skies of summer temporarily gave way to rain, my thoughts naturally turned to the imminently approaching fall season to come. That led me directly to think of the furious pace of the increasing number of fashion weeks around the world set to begin in only a few days.      Before all the hoopla gets going,    TheFashionInsider.com    has answers that it must provide to questions regarding the recent Spring/Summer 2009 mens fashion weeks which took place in  Milan  and   Paris  . Many of you are interesting in knowing what our magazine feel about the Fall Winter 2008/09 haute couture collections. At this point, we are only at liberty to say that some heavyweights rose to the challenge, while others were miserably pushed aside as they fell before the might of other talented couturiers whose ambitions and creativity dominated the runways.      In our GIANT SIZED September 2008, you can expect to find the answers to all those questions and much, much more. Believe me, we will name names and point fingers. So watch out because our September sweeps edition will arrive in your mailboxes on September 5 th .      Until then, stay fashionable         Marcellous L. JONES, Editor-in-Chief      ]]></content:encoded>
