From white-hot frocks to sexy pantsuits to sartorial statements that are political too, the following is a look at the styles and trends making waves at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles Source:- http://www.asiaone.com/multimedia/gallery/emmys-fashion-white-hot-glamorous-and-political?xtor=EREC-16-4[Emarsys_Newsletter]-20180918&extid=6934d0cfb7b252f1ae9f0dbddf5ff88ca8637e77 Total of 42 photos.

Where there are fashion weeks, there will also be wardrobe malfunctions. On the first day of Singapore Fashion Week, we spotted a minor problem with one of the outfits at local designer brand GINLEE’s show. While the model was sashaying down the runway in a long silky blue top with a major plunging neckline, a slip on the top’s right side exposed what appeared to be a stick-on silicone bra.

In the 1980s and 1990s, having a two-tone paint somehow made a car look more luxurious... Wonder how people suddenly stopped doing it.

Secondary schools now require long pants to be worn at upper secondary level. Do u think it makes sense in this weather and should this rule be changed, eg like Catholic High etc

for the start, how about all ministers and MPs give up their cars, and go to their offices by walking, cycling and taking public transport? - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/cars-may-go-out-fashion-singapore-national-development-m#sthash.EetpvgPp.dpuf and how about abandoning the stupid Population White Paper and keep the population under control so that we will have more space without sacrificing this and that

lai..............who want to take the lead in fashion.......... [laugh]

where to get tickets and lobang to those fashion show especially with runway stage Audi fashion coming in May and seems nowhere to get information like to see models walking beside you or up the stage from your view .....

He learnt his craft in the prestigious homes of London's Savile Row and came to Singapore with the intention of establishing an authentic English tailoring house. The firm is then now managed by his son Mr. Jimmy Chow, who has spent many years learning from his father. Mr. Jimmy Chow is well known for his London drape style of tailoring. All Fashion Tailors Menswear jackets are made with a soft handle. The construction of the jacket is not stiff as to inhibit the jacket from moulding to the wearer's body. His suits have minimal shoulder padding and chest is soft enough so that it can form round the body nicely. This is what Fashion Tailor believes in - the kind of softness one should be looking for in a suit. Mr. Jimmy Chow is also famous for inventing the "Power Look", an unmistakably crisp, aggressive, and polished cut for dynamic international executives. His cut gives a highly sophisticated silhouette grandly elevated with the utmost dash and flair to make any man look like a successful gentleman.

What are driving shoes? Some of us may think that driving shoes are those Puma Speedcats that one can purchase at those shopping mall sports stores. However, driving shoes in actual footwear terms mainly refer to soft moccasins that have little buttons of rubber or pebbled nubs on the soles and heel of the shoe instead of a single flat piece sole that we get on our shoes. These are exactly like the Tod's Driving Shoes pictured above. Now Tod's, the shoe manufacturing company is the company that has singlehandedly made this type of shoe a worldwide trend, and to his benefit one might add. However, there is a drawback to this type of shoe and I'd like to share this little detail to you readers out there. You see, the Driving shoe that we motoring enthusiasts love is as stated a very soft, flexible moccasin with nubs on the heel and the sole that are intended to help the driver work his pedals allowing him or her to heel and toe or feel every nuance of the accelerator, brake and clutch pedal due to its softness, thin soles and flexibility. It also helps the driver ensure that the finish on the heels of his work/dress shoes do not prematurely wear out from all that heel movement. However, the driving shoe does have a very weak point. It will wear out as soon as you start walking on any hard, rough surface like tarmac, concrete and even our sidewalks. Those nubs will be worn out after a long hard walk. This is especially so if you're a chubby boy like me. It is because of this shoe manufacturers LOVE selling driving shoes. Buy one and it wears out within a year or so, making the user buy a replacement soon after that. Its short lifespan is why shoe manufacturers love it so much

Over the past few days where i had many errands to run all over singapore, i realised that there are more and more young chinese girls wearing super tight spagetti strap tops and super short shorts... are young chinese girls getting more liberal? i also realise that there are more and more malay young girls wearing the malay cloth like bandana on their head (dont know the name). are young malay girls getting more religious? but they are all subjected to the same singapore education so why the difference?

Where to buy a nice handkerchief to be placed in Blazer top pocket to make it more formal? today went to vivo and cant find, any places where can i get this? budget maybe not more than $30, kamsia

Quote from ViceroyMenthol from the other thread.... LV has become like a very Chinese brand in recent years. They are often seen on PRC and those very cheena-type Singkies and Hongkies. KTV hostesses favourite brand, besides Chanel. Also aunties and ah soh favourite brand. In terms of image, it is the bag equivalent of Rolex and Mercedes. Since LV and Chanel is the equivalent of Mercedes, what does other car brands draw relevance to in terms of Fashion brands LV & Chanel - Mercedes Hermes - Lambo, Ferrari, Zonda, the likes Giordano - Geely etc etc.... pls feel free to add on...... cheers!!

What is the most "elite" fashion brand right now for male and females? What is so expensive or exclusive now that people sure go wow or green eyes when they see it? For females, is it Hermes?

Prehistoric women had passion for fashion Mon Nov 12, 2007 1:06pm EST By Ljilja Cvekic PLOCNIK, Serbia (Reuters) - If the figurines found in an ancient European settlement are any guide, women have been dressing to impress for at least 7,500 years. Recent excavations at the site -- part of the Vinca culture which was Europe's biggest prehistoric civilization -- point to a metropolis with a great degree of sophistication and a taste for art and fashion, archaeologists say. In the Neolithic settlement in a valley nestled between rivers, mountains and forests in what is now southern Serbia, men rushed around a smoking furnace melting metal for tools. An ox pulled a load of ore, passing by an art workshop and a group of young women in short skirts. "According to the figurines we found, young women were beautifully dressed, like today's girls in short tops and mini skirts, and wore bracelets around their arms," said archaeologist Julka Kuzmanovic-Cvetkovic. The unnamed tribe who lived between 5400 and 4700 BC in the 120-hectare site at what is now Plocnik knew about trade, handcrafts, art and metallurgy. Near the settlement, a thermal well might be evidence of Europe's oldest spa. "They pursued beauty and produced 60 different forms of wonderful pottery and figurines, not only to represent deities, but also out of pure enjoyment," said Kuzmanovic. The findings suggest an advanced division of labor and organization. Houses had stoves, there were special holes for trash, and the dead were buried in a tidy necropolis. People slept on woolen mats and fur, made clothes of wool, flax and leather and kept animals. The community was especially fond of children. Artifacts include toys such as animals and rattles of clay, and small, clumsily crafted pots apparently made by children at playtime. COPPER AGE One of the most exciting finds for archaeologists was the discovery of a sophisticated metal workshop with a furnace and tools including a copper chisel and a two-headed hammer and axe. "This might prove that the Copper Age started in Europe at least 500 years earlier than we thought," Kuzmanovic said. The Copper Age marks the first stage of humans' use of metal, with copper tools used alongside older stone implements. It is thought to have started around the 4th millennium BC in south-east Europe, and earlier in the Middle East. The Vinca culture flourished from 5500 to 4000 BC on the territories of what is now Bosnia, Serbia, Romania and Macedonia. It got its name from the present-day village of Vinca, 10 km east of Belgrade on the Danube river, where early 20th-century excavations uncovered the remains of eight Neolithic villages. The discovery of a mine -- Europe's oldest -- at the nearby Mlava river suggested at the time that Vinca could be Europe's first metal culture, a theory now backed up by the Plocnik site. "These latest findings show that the Vinca culture was from the very beginning a metallurgical culture," said archaeologist Dusan Sljivar of Serbia's National Museum. "They knew how to find minerals, to transport them and melt them into tools." The metal workshop in Plocnik was a room of some 25 square meters, with walls built out of wood coated with clay. The furnace, built on the outside of the room, featured earthen pipe-like air vents with hundreds of tiny holes in them and a prototype chimney to ensure air goes into the furnace to feed the fire and smoke comes out safely. "In Bulgaria and Cyprus, where such workshops have also been found, they didn't have chimneys but blew air on the fire with straws, exposing man to heat and carbon dioxide," Sljivar said. COLOURFUL MINERALS He said the early metal workers very likely experimented with colorful minerals that caught their eye -- blue azurite, bright green malachite and red cuprite, all containing copper -- as evidenced by malachite traces found on the inside of a pot. The settlement was destroyed at some point, probably in the first part of the fifth millennium, by a huge fire. The Plocnik site was first discovered in 1927 when the then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was building a rail line from the southern city of Nis to the province of Kosovo. Some findings were published at the time but war, lack of funds and objections from farmers meant it was investigated only sporadically until digging started in earnest in 1996. "The saddest thing for us is always the moment when we finish our work and everything has to be covered up with earth again," Kuzmanovic said. "That's the easiest for the state, conservation is very expensive and the land owners want to work in their fields." But there was some hope that the latest excavation would be preserved due to its importance, Kuzmanovic added. "We dream of uncovering the entire town one day, and people will be able to see prehistoric life at its fullest," she said.

See what I posted in reply to Fisheye about the Federal Tire SS 595. It looks like he got a real good bargain for the tire at $64 per tire. "Grip is as good as a T1S" Hmmm...... Will this break the cheapo performance tire reign of Kumho 712?
