  • Lingerie was once deemed as a taboo subject. Nowadays, the fashion industry has included luxury lingerie in their products, as it is a very profitable and luxurious market. Undergarments made of satin and silk have become a perfect work of art and make the body look perfect when wearing them.

    In ancient times, nudity was not a big deal but it actually showed prominence. The Amazon women exposed their breasts to their people. The island of Crete had women who wore garments that looked like the modern bra. The Grecian women from 450 B.C. to 285 A.D. only wore a small fabric that went around their breasts to support them. When the Middle Ages arrived, it was not that appropriate to vulgarly show the breasts to other people. The hiding of the private parts paved the way for the chemise and every girl during the Maid Marion era had to have this luxury lingerie. This undergarment was made as extra covering and at the same time to keep body odors from getting on the main dress.

  • If a fashion writer for French Elle is to be believed—and she is not—African-Americans weren't stylish until the Obama family came into office.

    "For the first time, the chic has become a plausible option for a community so far pegged [only] to its street wear codes," writes Nathalie Dolivo in a post translated from the magazine's website titled 'Black Fashion Power.'

    And if this sweeping stereotyping and flat-out ignorance weren't already off base, Dolivo goes on to explain why the so-called Obama renaissance of style is so "chic." According to her assessment, it embraces "white codes" while still making what she calls "a bourgeois ethnic reference (a batik-printed turban/robe, a shell necklace, a 'créole de rappeur') reminiscent [of] the roots."

    Dolivo's story was inspired by a recent New York Times article about a popular website called Street Etiquette, which curates and interprets black men's fashion through a

  • Rent the Runway

    How-to-Avoid-Full-Closet-of-Clothes-and-Nothing-to-Wear

    One Night Only

    Last weekend, I was at a tres chic friend's bday party, and the Birthday Girl was wearing a fantastic cocktail dress. Believe me, it looked very fabulous - and not at all frugal. So, of course, I had to ask where she got this piece of couture. My fashionable friend immediately replied, "Rent the Runway!" Though we've mentioned this online service before, I myself wasn't a member. But I was so impressed with my friend's look, that I went directly home from the party, signed up and discovered a whole world of Fab & Fru fashion right at my fingertips!

    What is Rent the Runway?

    Rent the Runway lets you rent (you probably figured that out) designer fashion for a fraction of what it would cost you to buy it. We mean really a fraction - like up to 90% less. YUM! And while I have visited actual stores that rent fashion, I have never used an online service and was curious…Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss Rent the Runway

    Yes, the 'do that many movie directors use to indicate "this girl is a geek" is now the hot hair trend for hipster guys -- mainly in Brooklyn, though we've heard rumors that the librarian look is catching on with men in other cities as well.

    Long-haired celebrities have rocked the man bun for years (think Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, actor Orlando Bloom, Patriots playerTom Brady, and comedian John Belushi as the Samurai Deli guy on SNL). And in other cultures, men routinely bundle their locks up to get them out of the way. Ponytails used to be the way to go, but now, guys in the know say, invoke images of "Steven Seagal, hippie uncles and the like," Sam Anderson, a 30-year-old bartender in Brooklyn, told the New York Times.

    The man bun isn't very complicated, which may be it's biggest plus; unlike the careful
