"It's all about graphic transparency," said Karl Lagerfeld of his latest collection. Excuse my ignorance, but what the hell is graphic transparency and how does it relate to fashion? I'm not so sure the eccentric source of the comment knows himself .
Certain women's magazines, beacons of the fashion genus, along with other fashion outlets, perpetuate this scenario. It allows them to deconstruct fashion without really saying anything at all. Don't believe me? Try this enlightened analysis by a fashion insider on for size: "[referring to a particular collection] This new luxury, this kind of modern luxury, with a play on the classics. Take on classics and traditionalism, but still luxurious." Still don't believe me? Here is a list of common fashionisms with my translations:
ďťżThe Problem With Fashion Critics
Sexy and fun This pair of words, used in conjunction, are a favorite among models when asked what they like about the clothes they're modeling. "Sexy and fun" is typically the first thing out of their mouths, which is surprising considering the extensive vocabularies most of these women have.
If designers can't describe their own handiwork without resorting to vague abstractions, I'm doubtful that anyone can, yet fashion critics abound. Only they're not so much critics as they are sycophants and they don't criticize so much as they praise. Designers and socalled fashion critics are members of a mutual admiration society; an arrangement that defeats the purpose of criticism altogether.
<strong>burberry store </strong> Some women have found relief from vaginal yeast infections by adding vinegar to sitz baths. The vinegar makes the vaginal tissues an inhospitable home to the yeast. You should doublecheck with your doctor before attempting this or any other sitz bath recipe like an herbal bath, however.
You may be wondering, what is a sitz bath? A sitz bath is literally what it sounds like a bath where you sit in warm water that covers the buttocks and hips. This explains why so many people call it a 'sits bath'. Sitting in warm water allows more blood to reach the impacted area, promoting healing and helping with any discomfort. A sitz bath uses the theory of hydrotherapy or water therapy.
Sitz baths are coming back into popularity as a low risk, medicinefree solution to many health issues. Sitz baths are very helpful for a woman after childbirth whether or not she had an episiotomy. A sitz bath can also be used to treat hemorrhoids, prostate infections, anal and vaginal fissures, and ease the discomfort of genital herpes, and vaginal or bladder infections.
When you get out of your sitz bath, make sure you dry the area with a clean, cotton towel. You should pat, not rub dry. Some practitioners recommend letting the area air dry.
Fill up your bathtub, bucket or sitz bath with warm water. The water should be warm enough to be almost uncomfortable, but not warm enough to burn. The water should be just deep enough to cover your buttocks and hips.

<strong>michael kors bags </strong> Enter Japanese fashion: From the same geniuses who brought raw fish to your plate and sake to your heart comes an approach to style that embraces the future without forgetting tradition. Japanese designers are known for experimenting with materials and production techniques to existing ideas about the way we dress. New York is at the heart of this movement. These are the stores that you must visit in New York City.
In New York, fashion means wearing a label, but style is about creating your own brand. Cultivating a personal style is critical, not just for making an impression on colleagues and potential mates, but also for feeling like an individual in a city filled with big personalities, fat wallets and inflated egos. Let face it: Unless you a lawyer or something equally depressing dressing like a chump will see you being held in contempt of court.
ďťżJapanese Fashion In NYC
Takashimaya Midtown (693 Fifth Avenue/New York, NY 10022)Your first stop is Takashimaya, a behemoth luxury department store with roots in 1830s Kyoto, Japan, where it began as a kimono shop. The store is divided into six floors that cover everything from men travel accessories to women clothing to floral arrangements all thoughtfully selected as part of a refined, Japanmeetstheworld aesthetic. This visit is largely symbolic, meant to give you some insight into how the Japanese present themselves to the global luxury market. Check out the Dutchdesigned Senz Umbrella, and then pick up Peter Post Essential Manners for Men: What to Do, When to Do It, and Why, and turn to the chapter on drooling over sht you can afford, and be on your way.
TriBeCa ISSEY MIYAKE TriBeCa (119 Hudson Street/New York, NY 10013)Keep Post book at the ready when you arrive at the ISSEY MIYAKE flagship in downtown NYC. Miyake, who launched his first collection in North America in 1971, is arguably the most influential Japanese name in fashion. His label, now run by protegee Dai Fujiwara, creates bold and unconventional clothing using experimental materials and fabric treatments. He even pioneered a method of producing clothing called APOC (A Piece Of Cloth), which incorporates patternmaking directly into the production process. The store itself is also a work of art, featuring a Frank Gehry titanium sculpture that winds its way through the Miyake collections: men, women, Fete (festival), Pleats Please (not your father pleats), Haat, Cauliflower, Watches, and Parfum. If you can get your head on straight long enough to find your wallet, this Double Face Twill parka should be at the top of your shopping list.
