Cycle of Fashion Trend

Cycle of Fashion Trend
By Gaurav Doshi

It's a fashionista's worst experience, even worse than looking oversize buddy, more degrading than wearing the same dress in another party -- it's the fear of symbolizing looking yesteryear fashion trend model.

Sometimes, fashion trends is considered as fads, are disreputably erratic. The fashion industry players are always on the quest to bring up something "NEW" & "HOT".

What is Fashion Trend?

Trend is the lead in which something new evolving, mostly leaning, penchant and line of growth. Hence, fashion trend is the latest evolvement of the fashion industry.

What is Fashion Trend Really About?
Your closet can give the answer. If you don't want to look at it, well.well. this resembles that you are matching your steps with the latest fashion trends. What it's relation to fashion? People stick rigidly to the rules - okay, maybe not 'YOU'. You may be one of those who walk their own way and dress as they like. When it comes to the fashion industry, it's a continuously changing world. Even though some trends are considered as ludicrous and outdated, many other comebacks with innovative ideas.

Pace and Re-emergence of Latest Fashion Trends
Now its new millennium, but most of fashion things like the pegged pant legs, jelly bracelets, and finally the denim jeans, seem to be returning in trends again. It comes out that the latest fashion trends are simply have nothing new at all. Almost everything re-emerged in fashion trend. You can virtually find torn jeans in every clothing retail store.

Who decides What's 'Hot' and 'Not' in Fashion Trends

There is no existence of specific group who declares what is hot fashion trend or not. In fact, the fashion designers and consumers who buys-out the fashion merchandise make their judgment and throw several opinions out there and observe what is grabbed.

Basically, 'WE', the consumer decide which merchandise is hot by making our minds what to purchase and wear.

The Fashion Trend Cycle

First part of the cycle, where the trend is highly hunted immediately after seeing that great fashionable hat, dress or shoe on the runway, red carpet or music video. Next, comes the emulation phase, where everyone wants a piece of the trend. Only big shots, celebrities and fashion industry players have approach to latest fashion right off the runway, which yet not showed up in retail stores.

During second phase, this newbie will appear in news papers, fashion magazines, TV and internet. At last, the trend will be soaked in the market, commonly at bit lower cost.

In the second phase new merchandise is available in bit expensive designer collections. It is only the third phase, where the merchandise is available to the mass market at affordable cost for most buyers.

The major part of over all mass will purchase it somewhere between second and third phase.

Before two or three decades it might have taken a some rears to make it from runway to mass market, however, nowadays producers have put the fashion cycle into rapid speed. Now, a hot trend often makes it appearance in low cost or discount retail store in as little as a few days or months.

In & Out of Fashion Trend

Reasonably priced fashionable clothing is a double-edged sword that make possible to buy fashionable looks at real-life budgets, at the same time leads to abolish the trend rapidly. However, when the market is completely saturated with a same monotonous trend it loses its appeal.

So how we can assume that how long a fashion trend will last? Let us find out:

Generally, most fashion trends last nearly one year, but some trends, usually the acceptable, last much longer. It is considered that normally fashion trends re-emerge nearly every twenty years. Hence, the minis skirts of the 80s are back in trends again.

The key to assume that how long a trend will last depends on from when you bought the collection. If you bought when the knock-off or discounts are going at retail store, then the count for the trend last not more one or two seasons. Fashion industry normally dumps together two seasons together, Spring and Summer, Fall and Winter, which provides you about six months to wear before it seems looks outdated.

In fact it is not specified that how long a fashion trend will last, you can put money on the just fads such as jeans, Uggs, hats etc... It doesn't signify that you might not get fun in purchasing them. They are the evergreen items you would like to purchase any time.

Purchasing power can keep a trend on oxygen. In some cases people love particular trends so much they wouldn't let it die.

The safeguard against rapidly changing fashion trends is to have a clothing line stocked with more traditional looks: T-shirts, jeans, and black dresses.

Slim Chicks SHOULD Workout

This has got to be one of the more annoying, routine comments I get from women:  "You are so slim. You don't need to workout." Sadly this comment often comes from women older than me and also noticeably larger than me. Obviously it never dawned on them that the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" could be applicable in the area of weight and size maintenence.

All of the currently slim women out there, please don't wait until your weight becomes a problem to get active. Do you realize how much harder it is to get a 190 pound load moving as opposed to a 120 pound one? This also just goes back to science class, you know, an object at rest tends to stay at rest. The same applies to an object, in this case your body, being in motion. Create the habit of working out now and your chances decrease significantly of becoming an overweight older woman sending negative vibes to a younger woman trying to take care of herself .

Movie Review - The Hunger Games

I thought of writing this review immediately after seeing the movie at 12:01 AM on Thursday, March 23rd. However I realized that I needed to see it again because that night I, like many others, was caught up in the hype and excitement that was the anticipation of The Hunger Games.  So here's my review only mere minutes after getting out of the theater for a second viewing.

I still maintain that director Gary Ross is primarily responsible for the failings of this movie.  While after discussing the film with a fellow enthusiast, I came to appreciate the shaky, choppy camera footage at the beginning of the film as a snapshot of how Katniss functions on a daily basis in the dreary, oppression that is "starving in safety" inside District 12.  The footage does slow down once she escapes to the woods, which readers of the novels will remember was the place she felt safe to be herself and drop the mask she wears while in the district.  However the pre-Reaping setup and superfluous crowd shots were totally unnecessary and a waste of screentime that would've been better spent on character development.

The footage of Katniss & Gale in the woods is great.  However, like some critics have stated, the emotional connection is lacking throughout most of the film due to the sparse character development.  Rue's death or when Katniss is burned may be one of the first scenes where the audience feels anything.  A great opportunity to have the audience really understand Katniss & Gale's connection was lost in that woods scene.  A couple of extra lines of dialogue is all it would have taken.  Perhaps we'll discover the scene was longer when the DVD comes out.

Overall the movie is still good.  Love the behind the scenes look into the Control Room, Games commentary, and President Snow's prodding of Seneca Crane.  Others have commented that they cut a lot of things from the book.  I for one was overjoyed that they cut Peeta losing his leg.  Other things they cut from the movie for two major reasons.  First, they wanted a PG-13 rating.  I'm pretty certain if they had kept just Cato's death scene true to the book they would've gotten an R rating.  Secondly, who would've wanted to sit through a three hour plus movie.  I love the books beyond words but had they included all of the District 12 characters, drawn out the Games to the approximately three weeks they were in the book, and included the hospital scene at the end, this would have been a really long movie.

Some of the things that were slightly disappointing because they were cut or not done well, but can be forgiven for the greater good of the movie:

1. the origin of the mockingjay pin
2. the indirect mention of tesserae (getting more food by adding your name to the Tribute drawing)
3. the cheesy flames on their backs for the presentation of the Tributes
4. the change of location for what was a rooftop scene to a huge window in the penthouse
5. the Cornucopia was not golden
6. the exclusion of Katniss suffering from dehydration
7. the exclusion of the sleep syrup
8. the afore-mentioned shortening of the Games
9. a lot of close-ups that narrow your ability to read something into the characters' actions
10. not a cut but a missed opportunity to play up the Katniss & Gale relationship by having a secret scene of the kiss as written in Catching Fire

One thing that can't be forgiven because it displaces the pyschological scars that needed to exist to justify the genuineness of a continued relationship between Katniss and Peeta is the muttations at the end of the Games.  In the movie they are nothing but big dogs.  I was really expecting to see something resembling a werewolf, with the human eyes and hair colors of the fallen tributes.  At the very least they could've placed the collars on them denoting they were retribution for the fallen tributes.  These two 16 year-olds needed to be so scarred from their time in the Games that they suffer from nightmares and develop a true (not made for TV) friendship based on their shared PTSD.  At the end they just seem to whole and undamaged.

In closing, I've also read personal comments from individuals criticizing that the movies feature young people killing each other.  To these individuals I say the following: "Do you live under a rock in Timbuktu or did you make the conscious choice to remain ignorant of the content and plot of the movie by avoiding all television and internet promotions until after you saw the movie?   If in fact you do not live under a rock in Timbuktu, how dare you act all sanctimonious about the movie that you obviously went to view and clearly states in the Treaty of Treason at the beginning that 12 to 18 year-olds are required to fight to the death."

That is all.  May the odds be ever in your favor...until The 75th Hunger Games circa November 2013!
