Spend Your Downtime In Loungewear With An Asian Flair

Pippie Flannigan on Oct 28, 2008 2:21 PM PDT

When I was quite young, my older brother was a huge fan of "The Karate Kid." With only one TV in the house designated for "kid use" and being the younger sibling of the pair, I ended up spending much of my formative years watching parts 1 and 2 of this classic 1980's saga. At some point, I fell in love with the lovely traditional garments the women wore throughout the movie sequel. I thought the styles were so elegant and pretty that this red-headed Irish girl was even a geisha for Halloween one year. So, I'm pretty jazzed that some of these prints have made their way into modern sleepwear and loungewear. Some styles border on sexy, but for the most part these modern takes on traditional Asian robes are just plain beautiful. Check out my SLIDESHOW for a look!

The Italians have always been the masters of food and fashion. And while gelato, authentic Italian pizza, and gourmet cheese are all delicious, the fashion is what's truly exquisite! There is nothing more inspiring as the eye-candy that is the Pirelli Calendar! It's where high fashion, glamor, and the biggest models of each era come together to celebrate beauty, the female form, and iconic photography. This year's calendar was shot by famed photog Patrick Demarchelier in Shanghai, dressing models Gemma Ward, Agyness Dyen and Coco Rocha, to name a few, as geisha girls, ala Christian Dior.
