<![CDATA[What came first the chicken or the egg? Fashion is the second creation, style is the first. Fashion is born out of style, as individuals we create our own style each time we go to the wardrobe and put a collection of clothes together. The chosen collection can be in or out of fashion, mixed and matched or clashed, the most important aspect is feeling comfortable and confident. Styles that came into the fashion cycle in the 70’s are coming back and deemed original, but even in their 70’s heyday, e.g. the big checks owe their origin to Scottish tartan. So the check style has been in and out of the cycle ever since it was first considered fashionable. And if we look more closely at the styles that have been constant over many decades, or even centuries they were developed with function in mind. Protective against the elements. Take note of how Thomas Burberry came up with the idea of a trench coat. Thomas Burberry Noticing how local shepherds and farmers wore linen smocks, which were cool in summer and warm in the winter, he attempted to apply the same principles to other clothing. In 1879 he developed a fabric which was weatherproofed in the yarn before weaving, using a secret process and then proofed again in the piece, using the same undisclosed formula. The new material was untearable and weatherproof, whilst cool and breathable. He called the cloth ‘gabardine’ and registered the word as a trademark. It became the choice mackintosh for British officers during the Trench War in Europe, hence the name Trench Coat. It remains true to original form apart from some colour additions. Then came silver cufflinks, in any metal you like, there’s enough history in these little gems to write a dozen books. They dropped out of fashion for about ten years and then came back in the 80’s and now ever stronger and moving to classical style. It looks like they’re going to be around for at least the next ten years, hopefully. Now we see men’s jewellery evolving, the name to watch Vivienne Westwood. Did you ever consider where the dark suit originated? Not Italy, Not Germany, Not France. The outcome of a rebellious young man who just decided to create his own style and not be influenced by his peers. Brummell rejected 18th century frills (dandy man). His mandate, a dark blue coat, buff-coloured pantaloons and waistcoat, black boots and a clean white neck cloth, survives today as the dark business suit, white shirt and silk tie Bell bottomed trousers were another 'icon' of the square rig uniform. These were practical garments for men who worked sailing ships since they could be rolled up securely to clear the feet and ankles when working the rigging. In common with all other items of a sailor's kit, trousers were kept folded ready for use in a kit bag. Kept inside out to avoid fluff on the outer surface and to avoid 'shine' by ironing, they were folded horizontally at about a hand's width and taped into a rectangular 'block'. When worn, this produced inverted vertical creases down the side of the leg and five or seven, depending on the height of the wearer, horizontal creases down the leg. Remember to roll or hang your silk ties In time these were accepted as the thing to have and were pressed firmly into place from the early years of the century. Since the First World War bell bottoms were purchased for tradition rather than any practical use but were replaced by flared trousers in 1977. And the style keeps coming back. Developing a new brand of fashion accessories as a truly independent alternative, concurrent with purveying Designer Silk Ties handmade silver, crystal and enamel Designer cufflinks plus fine leather wallets]]>

<![CDATA[They say that fashion is a circle and therefore repeats itself. It certainly seems to be so, for if you look back at life you will see that fashion has often repeated itself. For instance, double breasted suits that was once the rage in the 40's and 50's are back in fashion. Men's side locks that were the formal look of the 19th century made a blazing come back in the early 70's and so were women's maxis of the wild west in the mid to late nineteenth century. Ladies sandal fashion, too, have now taken center stage with Gladiator Sandals being the present rage about town. In fact Gladiator Sandals were inspired by the Hollywood movie "The Gladiator" and women in North America were soon demanding these Roman sandals as a fresh new look for their fashion and identity conscious orientation. The fact that gladiator sandals are leather cord structured as well as leather heeled that leave part of the lower leg visible makes them the ideal footwear for summer. Secondly, the fact that gladiator sandals are not solid but light weight makes them comfortable to wear. The sandals come in various colors and can therefore suit the tone and texture of the skin; the sandals are also multi-wearable as well as multi-occasional because they can be worn along with a variety of other outfits for a variety of formal and informal occasions. Besides this gladiator sandals are very feminine and look very appealing on women while at the same time they are tough, robust and durable. This of course will depend whether you buy genuine gladiator sandals from genuine and quality conscious brand companies with a recognized tradition in the manufacture of footwear items. Gladiator sandals come in such types as knee high caged gladiator sandals with golden buckle and other decorative metal parts. Some buckles and their enhancing metallic parts come with a shining finish while others come with a dim sober look. On the other hand gladiator sandals come with high heels while others come with flat soles. Just scan through our website for more details and avail of the fabulous discounts.
