Response to Mark Holgate's Blog: New York Spring 2010: Mark Holgate’s Favorite Boy by Band of Outsiders Look

Is it okay for girl's to wear men's clothing? Recently Mark Holgate blogged about Scott Sternberg's new summer collection. Sternberg wanted to have a fun funky showcase for his new collection. So, instead of his female models just wearing dresses, he matched them with men's jackets and tee-shirts. ( A picture of his collection is at the top right of the blog.) However, some people put a stereotype on what girls should or shouldn't wear. They feel all girls should wear clothes that fit them properly and not baggy garments. I strongly disagree with that statement. Why can't girls adventure out in their clothes department and go look in the men's section. Some guy's do it all the time with their tight fitting skinny jeans and tight shirts. I believe Sternberg's idea is brilliant, he links both sexes together.

Response to Mark Holgate: Cerruti Fall 2010

Even though fall is two more seasons away, Mark Holgate and the fashion industry has chosen the color that would be in style. According to Holgate any shades of blue will work for fall. But, how could someone chose a color so soon for a season that is not even half way here, with spring just beginning? The Netflix queue Three Colors: Blue, which you repeatedly receive in the mail, has inspired fashion designers. The pale colors that you usually see in fall will now be blended in with shades of blue. With one word from the fashion designers in Paris, I guaranteed that everyone will decide to wear more blue. Yes, blue is already in style but it is not as flossy now as it will be during fall 2010. I say this simple because everyone follows the trend that is in style. If fashion designers and celebrities did not wear pea coats, most likely teenagers would not sport them. The only people that would have been sporting them last winter were businessman and women. So, here is a head start to your wardrobe for fall 2010.

Ugg Boots Causing Chaos Among Teenagers

Fashion is not just another name we throw around every day. It’s a symbol of uniqueness and popularity. But, can fashion cause major health problems? The unisex sheepskin boots, lined with wool in the inside also known as Ugg boots are slowly breaking your foot. What can I possibly be talking about? Well, recently health experts have issued an article discussing the dangers of wearing the boots. The experts have noted whether they are real Uggs or the knock offs they are causing your arch in your foot to flatten.
Some may say what the big deal is. As long as the boots are cozy, comfortable, warm, easy to fit in, and match any outfit. I must admit I was among the crowd who could care less. I own a few Uggs and probably wear them every day. From a consumer’s point of view, they are incredible; they allow you to do just about anything in them. For example, they’re customized for different seasons. The Ugg Company now makes boots, high heels, flip-flops and sneakers. So, you can go for walks, take a jog, wear them to school or even work.
However, research has led the experts to come to the conclusion that the shoes mess up your feet, your ankle, and ultimately you’re hip. Will people still continue to wear Ugg’s? Honestly, I am not going to stop wearing my Uggs. When I brought them I was aware of the consequences. I know that they did not have any type of support. Anyone can notice that just by taking a glance at them.
Recently, after everyone read the article posted on numerous sites such as yahoo, google, aol, and etc, they have been making a huge fuss out of it. Many teenagers at Red Bank Regional High School have come to the conclusion that they will no longer wear their Uggs. But, why? Ugg boots retail for $140 and up. These teenagers spent a lot of money on these shoes, only to say they are not going to wear them after reading facts on an article that was already known.
If my peers had a good cause to stop wearing them, then I simply would agree. Why not stop wearing them, because innocent sheep are being killed to produce these particular boots. If, they felt that they had no support, then they shouldn’t have brought them from the start.
My point for all of this is that the article was only stating what consumers already know. These experts are creating chaos among these teenagers for no reason.

Response to Mark Holgate

Mark Holgate is simply stating what’s in and what’s out of fashion. According to him Logos and betraying the identity of bags are clearly out. Holgate’s opinion is right in a way. If you walk down the halls at Red Bank Regional High School most likely girls are sporting a plain color bag that zips up. If it does have a logo or name brand, it is written inside the bags. However, few girls are still wearing Coach or Chanel bags where the logo is printed all across the bag. I feel you will never, not see Coach or Chanel bags. They are the most worldwide bag out of all the designers. They might not be as popular now but I ensure you, if you look into crowd at least one person will have a Chanel or Coach.

THE FASHION POLICE OF 2010: WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT STYLES

Fashion is not just another name we throw around every day. It’s a symbol of uniqueness and popularity. There are many do’s and don’ts to the fashion world. Teenagers today look to the media for different styles. But, honestly some celebrities are on the don’ts list.
The Oscars was held on Sunday March 7 2010 at eight o’clock in Kodak Theater, Hollywood California . Yes celebrities got nominated for different categories and won statue trophies. But is that the really what the Oscars are about? No, the audience tunes in to watch the red carpet. Well, at least people who are interested in fashion.
All the nominees dressed up in formal wear and strutted down the red carpet to talk to Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic. They discussed what they got nominated for and their emotions. While Seacrest and Rancic drilled in numerous questions about their dresses and suits.
Singer Jennifer Lopez looked absolutely gorgeous in a white elegant dress by Giorgio Armani, she was truly radiant. I must say its pretty hard to wear white on the carpet. Not everyone, could pull it off. Like Diane Kruger, who plays in National Treasures. The dress she chose to wear was black and white with lots of ruffles.
But she wasn’t the only one that chose poorly for the Oscars. Zoe Saldana, from Avatar wore a pastel dress with excessive ruffles. (Put those together, and well it’s a major train wreck.)
Now moving on to the men. Chris Pine, actor in Star Trek wore a classic well portioned tux. Taylor Lautner from twilight looked absolutely dashing. While Jake Gyllenhaall,who played in Brokeback Mountain tried
his best by wearing a small bow tie and a pocket square. He sort of looked like James Bond.
But hands down, Robert Downey Jr. from Iron Man, in my opinion was the worst dressed for males. What was he thinking when he put on that turquoise bow tie, sunglasses, and sneakers? Not a good look for the red carpet may I say.
boy, the fashion police had some laughs about 2010’s red carpet look.)
According to Joan Rivers, Jeff bridges looks like Colonel Sanders from KFC. While her co-hosts laugh she said, “ when they gave him his Oscars they gave him a bucket of fried chicken.”
Incase you wondering, the fashion police isn’t just on E! news. Red Bank Regional High School has their own personal fashion police. What am I talking about? Every teenage girl in the halls has to at least comment on someone’s appearance or outfit. It might be every girl but some guys do it too. The most famous line for the genders is, “Oh my gosh what are they wearing.”
Truthfully, the halls at RBRHS is like a mini red carpet without the cameras. Teenagers wear a variety of clothes whether it is do’s or don’ts. So, be alert for the fashion police the next time you walk down the halls, they might just be watching you from a distance.
