    What Fashion Insiders Think Of Glamour's Plus-Size Model

    image
    The Frisky on Sep 1, 2009 5:23 AM PDT
    We told you all about how much positive response Glamour magazine has received from readers for the image of a nude plus-size model featured in the September issue. Lizzie Miller has since appeared on "Today" and copies of the magazine are selling out. Catherine wondered whether the overwhelmingly positive response would result in magazines, and the fashion industry, finally recognizing that beauty comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and that they would start featuring more models like Miller on a regular basis. The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman wrote on his blog, "When I am shooting on the street older women and larger size women often say 'no' to my request to shoot them... I think they have a real suspicion about how the image will be used. I also think there continues to be a growing disconnect between the fashion community and 'average' women in general."

    Steal Scarlett Johansson's Old Hollywood Glam Makeup Look!

    Like many young celebs, Scarlett Johansson may be just as famous for her dangerous curves and her sexy look as she is for her movie roles. What sets her look apart from the rest of the sex kitten young starlet pack is her well-crafted old Hollywood glamour look that tiptoes the fine line between sultry and classy. Want to emulate her look? It's pretty easy as long as you have the right tools, and some restraint- a little too much blush and eye liner and you can go from red carpet to street corner faster than you can say Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Start with a foundation primer to keep skin oil-free all day and your foundation in place. Use a smooth matte foundation and a neutral peachy blush like NARS "orgasm." Keeping the eyes light is key with a darker lip- Scarlett manages to work a smoky eye by using a bronze eye shadow as opposed to a gray or black. The piece de resistance of the look- a semi-matte red lip. Line the outside of lips with a reverse lip liner to keep lipstick from bleeding and then apply the best red lipstick around, Lipstick Queen's "Red Sinner." Copy Scar-Jo's 1940's look for a night on the town or a pared-down version with a sexy pencil skirt at work. See how you can get Scarlett's look in my slideshow!

    Meet Stylehiver cpc. She's a mom, a wife, a fashion design student who hopes to have her own line of knitwear someday, and her favorite color to wear is cranberry red. She is also an active Hiver with an impressive eye for beautifully created designs. Some of her style weaknesses? Structured coats, short dresses, bold silver jewelry, and anything with a splash of 1930's glamour. Her Hive is packed with an eclectic mixture of styles ranging from Elie Saab couture to diamond encrusted skull pendants. But out of all of cpc's fashion finds, I was most impressed with the collection of military coats and early 1900's-inspired dresses that I discovered in her Hive. So be sure to check out cpc's artsy-eclectic style - and also check out my Slideshow of some of my fave vintage-inspired dresses and military jackets straight from her Hive!

    It€™s no secret that our current economic strife has had a detrimental impact on retailers. Ever since the dismal holiday season, when the dough usually flows freely, retailers have been praying for a boost- and by the looks of the fall runway collections, their prayers may soon be answered. In recent years, fashion has gone especially trend-happy, where one day an ensemble can get you praised for being a cutting edge fashionista, and the next, a hopeless fashion victim. This season, the colors, cuts, and styles veered away from being €˜of the moment€™ favoring €˜everlasting€™ styles- giving the looks massive commercial appeal which is pretty much the holy grail. Read on for more details on the looks, trends, styles, and brands that have big league retailers rejoicing.
