There are many ethnic influences on fashion. For instance Gucci fall 2008 line is totally inspired from the gypsy look. Gucci's line consist of the busy patterns throughout the whole line. It also has the lose fabric belts with almost every outfit to tie the whole outfit together. This line is very popular with the critics.
Africa is also a big influence. This look mostley consist of long flowy dress with sleeves. People seem to love the baggy look now.
Indan jewerly is also in. People love the colorfull bead look. It can be very dramatic drawing attention straight to the jewerly or it can be more suddle with duller colors with less bead work.

New York Fashion Week
Herve Leger spring 2009 line was brilliant. His swimsuit wear was defiantly 100% original. This line of swimsuits I think could be described as slashed up. Your normal bikini that you typically see every year at the beach is not in this year! These swimsuits have line of fabric connecting from the bottom of the suit to the top and some are zig zag slashes across the stomach.
I think that these swimsuits are great because they are not your typically bikini where all of your midriff has to hang out. If you have some trouble areas on your stomach then these swimsuits are perfect! If you have some love handles or if you have a little bit of stomach fat in the front these swimsuits can help hide it. I must say I am so excited about this line coming out this spring. I will defiantly be buying one of these swimsuits for myself!
All the reviews I have read about Herve Leger spring line has been great. Everybody seems to love his new fun and unique style of swimsuits. The reviews said they believe that these swimsuits are going to be a huge seller this spring.
William Rast spring 2009 collection did not go as well as Legers. The reviews said that his collection looked a little redneckish, which I agree. I did not see anything from this collection that I would wear. Everything was jean shorts, forest boots, and even camo coats. I do not think that this spring line is fashionable at all.

organic and enviromental friendly
Ramie is a environmental friendly fiber. Ramie is also known as grasscloth. This fiber is irregular fiber, long, lustrous, and fine. Ramie is more environmental friendly then both cotton and flax. Ramie is also a good fiber because it is fast growing and it can be harvest year around every 60 days.
Ramie is strong and abrasion resistant but also brittle with low elasticity. It has poor resiliency. Also, ramie is stiff and rough but it has good absorbency. This fiber may not be 100 % what you would want your clothing to be made out of but its one of the best fibers grown that is environmental friendly and can be grown organically.
This fiber has been around for about 6000 years. Ramie is produced in China, Philippines, and Brazil.

favorite designer
My favorite designer is Gabrielle Coco Chanel. She has a very unique style and she never followed the patter of other designers. She had her own very original designers which made her so fabulous. Coco Chanel is known for the little black dress which I love! She took that big risk of the black strapless dress but it was so great because it was the first of its kind and great because it could be worn in the day or night.
What I love the most about Channels designs are her accessories! Her earrings, pocketbooks, and perfume are to die for. All her items are so classy and elegant. I do not own any of her clothing but I do own many of her pocketbooks and earrings and love them so much. The Coco Chanel symbol is beautiful. The C’s to each others back is a sheik look. I researched Coco Chanel and found out that the Chanel symbol was in fact not her own design which I was shocked about. It was given to her from the owner of the Chateau de Cremat.
In Gabrielle Channels lifetime she has done so much for the fashion industry. She was a great French fashion designer! She changed the way many dressed from the stiff cloths that women use to wear to beautiful clothing that showed some skin and was comfortable. Chanel formed a whole new way of dress. She was not scared of what people thought of her she wasn’t scared to take risk which made Coco Chanel what she is today, a fashion icon.
