The Little Black Dress
By LaRae Wilson
Chanel, Juicy Couture, Tori Burch, J.Crew, BCBG, Vera Wang, Michael Kors, just some of the few big names that were featured in this years Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York. Fashion week in New York has been a “must attend” event for any lover of fashion since its first year in 1943. Although back in 1943 Paris was to be the only city with a fashion week of its own so fashion editor Eleanor Lambert whom organized the event named it “Press Week.” Originally Press Week was designed for fashion industry insiders that couldn’t travel due to World War II, buyers were not allowed into the events and had to make private appointments with designers in their showrooms to see their new seasons line. Let us be thankful that in 1990 the event was altered to a public event so now we as fashion lovers can be up to speed on every season’s fashion trends. Patterns, prints, textures and bold colors were all amongst the most influential designers this year.
By Melyssa Davis
Chanel’s line this year was very soft and romantic
with many dresses and long evening gowns all of
textures. Lace and chiffon incorporating feathers
and pearls were all of which tied her line together.
The color pallet was very intimate, mixing all
shades of whites and nudes with soft pinks and
black. The Chanel spring 2013 line was very
elegant and sophisticated, but then again when
isn’t Chanel elegant and sophisticated?

Now for those who aren’t so girly the Michael
Kors line is perfect for you. Michael Kors’ line
is one of the favorites from this seasons show.
He kept his line very clean cut, very linear with
the use of bold colors. Using bold reds, greens
and blues and cleanly integrating them with
black to give the colors more of a pop. The
Michael Kors evening ware was fresh. It was all
black but he had very different cuts and peek-a-
boos within each gown that gave them the little
bit of sex appeal.
Now Juicy Couture took a slightly different path
into introducing their line, instead of a more
traditional runway show they screened a fashion
video, it was also the lines first year in NYFW.
The star being Victoria Secrets’ very own angel,
Candice Swanepoe. The video was screened
outside of the famous Metropolitan Opera House,
viewers watched and sipped pink champagne.
Their line was very bold, using denim for dresses,
jump suits and jackets. Every look had a pop of
red, whether it being in the shirt, shoes or pants.
Prints were incorporated into short shorts and
jumpsuits, all very fresh and cute perfect for the
season.
So for next season keep in your thoughts
fashionistas, bold colors! Bright reds and blues
and greens off set with black. As many articles
after NYFW have stated, Black is the new Black,
so don’t be scared to take your outfits to the dark
side bit. Also patterns, soft subtle patters such as
polka dots or doves. Then last but certainly not
least, mixing and matching different fabrics,
chiffon and lace and leather and denim.
Everyone has their own sense of style, so be bold
next season and try new things, mix and match
and have fun dressing up everyday. After all
fashion is the best way to express how we feel for
the day, next time you step out your door think
of the world as your very own personal runway.

Go for a leather jacket this season
for a cool urban look, wear with a

evening out on the town.
and earthy tones everyone else will
be wearing.
2. Red Over-coatsPop of colour, or P.O.C. I reckon this will
Red Over CoatsPop of colour, or P.O.C. I reckon
this will be big this season and will
really make you stand out from
the crowd among a sea of dark.
Black Skinny-Jeans
Remember the leather jacket I was
talking about earlier? Black
skinny jeans would be a perfect
pairing.
Mini Dress – Blue
For a night out every girl needs a
mini dress, instead of the “little
black dress” go for a shade of blue.
Leopard Ballet FlatsA popular print during the David
Jones Autumn/Winter 2012
launch were leopard. Go for a pair
of ballet flats and rock them with
either a skinny jean or dress.
Leather Gloves
During the colder months keep
your digits warm with a cool pair
of leather gloves.
7. Houndstooth
HoundstoothThis season houndstooth items seem
to be trending, to keep it check get a
least one item with this popular
print.
Wool Blend ScarfKeep the neck warm this winter with
a wool blend scarf, layer it under a
blazer and you can’t go wrong.
Leather Duffle Bag
Are you going to escaping the winter chill? Carry all your stuff
in a leather duffle bag.
Cloche HatI haven’t noticed the cloche hat a
lot out on the street but maybe the
fact I have seen it in a few
magazines might spark a
comeback.
AMERICA, CAN YOU
HANDLE THE TRUTH?
BY MARLIN BARNES
Gandhi's hand writing: "God is Truth. The way to Truth lies through Ahimsa (non-violence). Sabarmati, 13 March 1927, M. K. Gandhi."
Jack Nicholson made the term “You can’t handle the truth” a famous phrase in the movie “A Few Good Men”, co-starring Tom Cruise. Nicholson played Colonel Nathan R Jessup, who is presumed to be behind the murder of PFC William Santiago. Unfortunately, for most of us, that phrase continues to resonant in everyday life. The truth is no longer the constant it was when the world and its movies were seen in black and white. No, the world is seemingly moving to “Shades of Grey” (much like the book) and the truth is being perversely blurred by the acceptance of each new rumor and speculation.
Journalism, which once was the trusted source of facts, is now the product of partisan philosophy and politics. Each outlet-at war with the other for ratings- has latched on to it preferred bloc of the viewing public. Media has trading the facts for perception to gain an edge in viewership. Despite the decline in manufacturing in the United States over the past two decades, the “rumor mill” is churning out record profits for its shareholders. We have bored of the Katie Couric’s and gravitated to the Wendy Williams’ of the world. It’s a wonder this country’s moral fiber is so anemic and the reason how we have allowed ourselves to be manipulated into ungodly wars and preventable crisis.
I am reminded of God, on whom this country was allegedly built, and our declared trust in Him. We mark this declaration on every coin
and on every patriotic and political event. But has this declaration been one of truth or perspective? I pray the former. The fact is…TRUTH HURTS! And since we really don’t like to hurt (though we love to inflict pain on others) we don’t readily accept it. For example, if financially irresponsible homeowners and greedy proprietors were sifted out in the housing industry, we could have alleviated the housing crisis and the subsequent economic disaster. People don’t like to hear they are greedy or incapable and businesses don’t like to hear they may lose profit, so they deny that truth to one another and cow-tow to one another. And after a few “grey area” dealings, you get disaster. And to top it off, after disaster you just get finger pointing.
“No, it’s the stupid poor people”!
“Oh no, it’s those greedy rich folks”!
Truth is everyone is to blame. And when honest people try to fix the imbalance, one side or the other cries foul. Instead of facing their fair share of the blame they cry class warfare.
Nothing screams “untruth” like the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Plainly speaking, America is a meddling country with an arrogant ignorance of the global world. Simple truth. If you don’t like to see your own government meddling in your everyday affairs or the police intimidating you in your neighborhood, then what difference is that feeling for an Arab who sees a tank caravan up his street or foreign soldiers herding his family along checkpoints? Truth is you would more than likely
try to rid yourself of them, too. I suppose this makes us insurgents, right? Secondly we need to be honest about what happened. As a former soldier and a construction worker who built high rise towers, I can boldly proclaim the truth. You and I know that the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BLEW UP THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. Period.
Did I hurt your feelings or offend your sensibilities? Good. The Bible says the truth shall MAKE you free, not SET you free. In order to “make” you free it has to shape you and grow you. This process takes pain and suffering. We need to be honest with ourselves. We are not the good people we claim to be. Good people don’t walk over the homeless, have extra-marital affairs, lie on their resumes or ignore the immorality that is broadcast across the airwaves. Good people don’t commit perjury, cheat on their taxes, root for the death of foreign leaders, disrespect their own leaders and shot up movie theaters and classrooms. Oh yeah, those killers thought they were good people, too.
I pray that everyone comes into the knowledge of the truth and make the necessary corrections in their own lives to truly be better people. We have so much information at our disposal, yet we never come into the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:7). Our children know every commercial jingle and song lyric, but can’t comprehend their basic school lessons. Our women are making financial strides and political gains in our country, but are still lacking self-esteem and personal pride. Our men are bigger and stronger and win many wars and accolades, but still are unable to
communicate basic affection and care for their children and wives. We do well on the exterior, but we fail miserably on the inner spirit. The poor blame it on money; the rich blame it on the stress of money. The Black blame it on the Whites and the Whites blame it on everybody else. The truth is that we all need a reality check and to take personal inventory. The failure to do so is indicated by the amount of times the same tragedies and mishaps continue to occur in our lives and in our country. Vietnam became Iraq, Great Depression became the Great Recession, young love became old flame, racial discrimination became sexual discrimination. And so on…
One way to describe the work of truth is to liken it to a winning athlete. When she is on the podium waving to her fans and family, we celebrate her and try to identify with her. We go out and we emulate her in our backyards or in our wardrobe. And in all this we fail to live up to her standard because we fail the truth. Truth is she spent years in training and discipline. She sacrifices her desires to hang out for the truth that to be better she needed to work out. While we slept, she was up setting goals and doing personal inventory of her strengths and weaknesses. While we celebrated ourselves, she criticized her performances and broke down the nuances on film. So, while she stood on the podium and celebrated her success in truth; we sat on the couch watching, fantasies about what we could have been.
