Rock king "Elvis Presley" created dressing vogue

Review the glorious life of Elvis Presley, as it said that once we put too much attention to his music, so we might change a point of view as well. We can search Elvis Presley's wardrobe, see the fashion clothing that he created from 1950s to 1970s.
Elvis Presley's white body suit inlaid with a heap of glittering sequins and matched the wide belt, which is elected the most unforgettable dressing in history in the early year's poll investigationIndeed, Eminem was wearing the typical clothing of Elvis Presley's in one scene of his single MV "WithoutMe". Britney once wore the same clothing of Elvis Presley when she was taking paragraph of the posters. 

The British large chain department store Woolworths recently make a poll among 14000 people, ask them to select the greatest and the most memorable clothing in their heart Finally the Elvis Presley's classic white body suit won against Kylie Minouge by a little superiority.
The bells is the American fashion trend in 20 centuries from 1960s to 1970s, Elvis Presley pushed the bells to the top of the fashion clothing. Then it was popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan regions , and also directly affected Chinese mainland during the early years of Reform and Open period. At that time, in Hong Kong and Taiwan's moviethe stars were all wearing the bells leading the fashion trend.
In 1960, Elvis Presley was wearing this suit participating press conference in father's office. After he died, the valuation of the suit have risen up to 5000 to 7000 US dollars.
The blue open corsage revealed Elvis Presley's unruly personality, and the tight belt looks also very fashionable in nowadays.
The aureate small silk suit is luxury and avant-garde, which can be worn only by Elvis Presley.
At that time Elvis Presley have already liked the contrast color, the pink grid clothes look handsome and stylish.

Elvis Presley's luxury dressing was performed on the stage, but when he was behind the scene, his dressing was not exaggerated at all, but also have delicate place. This is "Elvis Presley", immortal legend.

The Row for Toms Shoes

 (Image Credit: LDN Fashion, Toms Shoes)
I've been a fan of MK&A (Mary Kate and Ashley, duh.) since their Michelle Tanner days. I religiously followed their careers from solving any crime by dinnertime to Two of a Kind to Mary Kate's brief stint on Weeds, so I was thrilled to hear about the twins teaming up with Toms Shoes for a collaborative collection.

As I've mentioned before, Toms Shoes is a company that runs on the philosophy one for one: for each pair of shoes sold, a pair is given to a child in need, and this collaboration is no exception to that rule.

Made with cashmere and Italian wool, the collection is currently available for purchase on the Toms website, and prices range from $140-150.

Readers, what do you think of the collection? Is $150 too much to pay for a pair of slip ons?

The luxury goods B2C industry is booming and also facing the channel bottleneck

According to the news of June 30, the China Venture has made news report, and all kinds of data prove the fact that luxury consumption potential in China is emerging. The relatively limited consumption ability of Chinese middle class provid the opportunity for e-commerce mode. And the investment of luxury B2C industry will become the new hot point. But sales network could damage the interests of agents and distributors, and the simple shopping mode could influence the luxury orientation and the mystery feelings.

Not long ago, the world's largest luggage manufacturer Samsonite and Italy luxury brand Prada successively accomplished IPO in Hong Kong, each financed 9.73 billion and 16.719 billion HKD. The two companies choose to enter the market in HongKong. They are both because of their increasing business in Asia's emerging market, especially Chinese fast growing market. The story of "Chinese growing consumption market", and reality of becoming the second biggest luxury goods consumption country, makes the Chinese luxury consumption market prosperous.

In this background, the domestic luxury consumption and relevant industries, both have more imaginable space. Especially the 2010 Chinese e-commerce industry's booming development, makes the combination of luxury consumption and online shopping more practical. In 2011, as the investment of comprehensive B2C and group purchase industry have been saturated, the investment of luxury B2C industry tends to become the new hot spots.

The desirable consumption of the middle class is rising up and on line shopping caters the Chinese characteristic consumption

All kinds of data prove that the luxury consumption in China has a bright prospect. On June 9th the latest report of the world's luxury goods association said last year the total sum of luxury consumption market in domestic China has reached 10.7 billion US dollars, accounting for a quarter of the global share, which is expected to be the world's biggest luxury consumption country surpasses Japan next year. More than 8% of the GDP growing rate in China for several years and the residents increasing consumption expenditure year by year would undoubtedly construct the solid foundation of the growing domestic luxury consumption market. The subcompany database CVSource of ChinaVenture mastered a macroscopic economic datait showed that in recent years, the domestic urban residents' consumption support is continuous growing, the average growing rate is over 10%, which has surpassed the average GDP growing rate, showing a strong national consumption power.

Among them, the rapid rising amount and the huge number of middle class has become the mainstream of the luxury consumption group. They need a car, luxury clothing, cosmetics, and watches and high-end products to reveal their leading position in wealthtaste and other personalized aspects. The Chinese luxury consumption is therefore to move into a fast growing stage. However, compared with the traditional retail stores, the Chinese middle class has relatively limited consumption power, so the on line shopping provides the opportunity for this new luxury shopping mode.

Generally speaking, in China people whose monthly income is between 20000 yuan to 50000 yuan are belong to a typical luxury consumers. In the future's years, the amount of these people will rise from the current millions to 250 million. However this group of people in China at present only belong to not very rich peopleThese rich people pursue the top luxury consumption, but they will be sensitive of the price, that is a typical phenomenon. In earlier time, people would solve this problem by shopping abroad or buy on somebody's behalf, this consumption account  for more than half of consumption scale. And with the mature of Chinese e-commerce industry  and the formation of network consumption habits, the on line shopping of luxury goods are accepted by more and more consumers because of its price advantage and convenient shopping. And it also has become an important part of Chinese luxury consumption.

Obsession of the Moment: Angus Dei Design

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of meeting Danjebis Rodrigues of Agnus Dei Designs on the corner of 23rd and Madison. He was in need of directions, and somehow pegged me for a local. I'm still not sure if I pointed him toward his destination, but a quick conversation and his black-on-black business card steered me toward his jewelry company's website.

Rodrigues' designs are the perfect edge to roughen up my classic style. I love his cuffs, especially the Doors of Perception wrap bracelets and the simple Signature Evolution Cuff. And his unique rings would be the perfect contrast to a polished party frock.

I definitely recommend checking out his collection. It's a bit pricey, but his looks are so unique and made of high-quality metals. They're totally worth it.

Readers what's your latest accessory obsession?

Spotlight on New York: Cafeteria

Taste Test (Wednesday): Maryland Crabs

Last weekend I went to visit my boyfriend in Baltimore, which will henceforth be known as the surface of the sun. It was literally over 100 degrees every day I was there. But Saturday night we managed to escape the heat with a trip to Captain James Crab House for a dozen steamed Maryland crabs, a bowl of coleslaw, a basket of hush puppies and two swiftly melting ice waters.

It was my first experience eating whole crabs, and let me tell you, it was not a pretty sight. At first the hammer was a bit unwieldy, but I eventually got the hang of it and only mashed my thumbs once or twice. A barbaric, labor-intensive project, cracking open the crabs was a struggle, but oh-so worth it when i finally got to the meat inside.

Readers, have you eaten crab before? What's your favorite summer dish?

If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere: New York, New York


I know I've been a little MIA recently here on Style of a 20 Something, but I promise I have several good reasons. Not only did I graduate NYU's Summer Publishing institute, but I also found an apartment and a job! Well okay, a paid internship, but hey, it's a start.

Any tips on how to be a newbie New Yorker?

Never be bored with the white shirt

You will never be bored with wearing a white shirt. You will become pure and fresh, elegant and sexy when you instantly put on a white shirt. Every different figure can wear it, and it can change into any style. The clean and pure fresh temperament can give people a good impression. That is the so-called "the simplest is the most beautiful".

Compare to the relatively formal and traditional style, I prefer to choose loose style of white shirts. On one hand, it won’t expose the figure, on the other hand it will be cool in the summer. Wearing a loose shirt matches a pair of loose pants, which will give people a free and relaxing feeling. And it is also more graceful and sexy than traditional tight shirt.

White shirts, just like an application issue, different designers have different solutions. Some will design the clean and symmetrical line; some will simply design it into shirt skirt with the flavor of the middle class in 1950s. Some will choose the most feminine material-lace. Some will design new structure, such as hollow design, or asymmetric clipping. No matter how creative it is, it will not lose the natural particular fascination of white shirt, and that is pure feeling. I like this feeling!

White shirts are the really necessity of women, it is like the little black dress, which will last for long, never go out of date. Although it seems that simple, it is the most worthy single product as a basic style that we need to buy. In this spring and summer, white shirt is really the current fashion. It changes from outline, material and combination. It let us notice the fashionable glamour of the white shirt. Wearing a white shirt will enough upgrade your dressing style. It will put the elegance and intelligence into you dressing style, and will never go out of date.

How to Match:
A: We can try to wear vintage and high waist trousers to match the white shirt besides wearing a pair of pencil pants or tight jeans pants. Tuck the bottom of the shirt into the pants, which can show your waist, your figure will also be tall and straight. The fashionable feeling of the shirt will immediately be showed.

B: If we ordinary people want to be beautiful and outstanding when wearing a white shirt, we must put on more accessories. Such as dots or strip pattern belt, necklace, scarves, hats, etc. These all will make the white shirt more beautiful. No matter short skirt or trousers, they all will make the white shirt more interesting, and it will never be inflexible.

Shopping style changes and the traditional retail encounter challenges

Sitting on the sofa at home is very comfortable. You can enjoy the beautiful music, while pressing the mouse leisurely. You can never leave home but can buy back the things you need. In stores you may try good clothes, shoes, but don’t directly pay for it. You may habitually return to home, open a computer for online shopping. You can buy the goods by 30% off or even cheaper price. If you pay enough attention to it, you will find that, this convenient online shopping way has been welcomed by more and more customers. This means that the traditional retail industry is suffering a new challenge.

The online shopping - a fashionable and new consumption
The number of Internet users in China is up to 500 million, the number of global online shopping users is more than 137 million. The online shopping is now showing a huge potential for market growth, and quickly become a kind of fashionable consumption. The large market demand has driven and resulted in the fashionable consumption.

When you are asked" are you shopping online today?" And this has become a pet phrase when two friends meet together. When the online shopping has become a fashionable consumption, one day we will suddenly discover and say: yes, the online shopping has entered our daily life. I connect the whole net, and purchase the world. This is not only an inspiring AD sentence, but also indicates the charm and the future of online shopping.

Geeks in fashion retail

Marx once said, the price depends on the value regulation of the commodity. In the traditional marketing mode, a commodity is ultimately owned by consumers. And this will suffer much exploitation of all kinds of agents. But the cost of online shopping is very cheap. The goods can be sent to the consumers’ hands through the national various express companies for just a few days. But the price is only half of the traditional price.

The China electronic commerce research center assistant and electronic business analysts said the competitiveness of online shopping price derives from "the single media and low operation price". Aim at the "global online brand flagship store", some websites will actively play its advantage of global supply chain. They will regularly choose the suitable goods from the most famous old store in the United States--Macy's Department Store. And at the same time the professional people will check and compare the global commodity price system of each commodity, thus will give more profits to the consumers, so it is not surprising when you see the goods that have 97% to 95% off discount.

Now, the cake of online shopping is bigger and bigger, the traditional retail has come into "small profit time". The online shop has no boundary of the mall stores, never close, never turn off the lights in the windows. The employees are never off the work, never shut down the checkout counter. All these advantages are rising abruptly. But the traditional retail stores are facing rent, the management cost and such problems. The traditional retail will how to break through the bottleneck of its development, and how to deal with the network challenge, we will wait and see!
