Sofia Stuns In Revealing Sequin Dress (PHOTOS)
Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jan 24, 2012, under 1
There’s not much that sexy starlet Sofia Vergara can do wrong. The “Modern Family” actress pulled out all the stops on the 23rd Annual Producers Guild Awards red carpet at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
Slipping into a skintight black sequin dress, Vergara literally dazzled. And her fresh beauty look must have been a welcomed change after her recent makeup snafu on Ellen DeGeneres’ show — the talk show host got a little too creative when applying a literal face full of makeup to her fellow Covergirl.
But the Colombian beauty looked every bit the part of a cover girl on the red carpet.
How does Sofia stack up when it comes to our battle of the cleavage? Vote!

Fashion Review: 2012 Golden Globe red carpet – The Times of India
Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jan 17, 2012, under 1
The Golden Globe awards 2012 saw ravishing women wear gorgeous gowns and then gorgeous women wear gaudy designer garb. Who grabbed attention for the right reason and who did just the opposite… we list down our pick for the best and worst dressed actresses at the Golden Globes this year.Well Dressed
Nicole Kidman, Angelia Jolie, Kate Beckinsale have that innate sense of style that always make them stand out in the crowd. These women can never go wrong with their choice of outfits. While their clothes may not be utterly dramatic or eye grabbing, it’s the simple and subtle cut, colour and flow in their outfits that makes the difference.
We loved how Angelia Jolie matched her red clutch with her red lipstick. Although we’d have liked the satin outfit better had it been completely cream without the red accent. The slit highlighted her toned long legs and chiseled body.
Nicole Kidman manages to look stunningly classy every single time. This time around she wore a body hugging Versace gown and looked a million bucks once again.
Kate Beckinsale looks chic as her red carpet look stays constant yet appealing. Hair pulled back, strapless gowns in nude and pastel shades, wonderful eye makeup. Kate looked fabulous yet again in a Roberto Cavalli cream gown.
Tilda Swinton’s androgynous appeal is captivating and the actress dresses up just according to her personality. We loved her light blue gown and the jacket. She looked straight from the runway – high fashion!
Jodie Foster made sea blue look beautiful as she wore a stunning strapless gown by Giorgio Armani.
Head Turners of the evening
Charlize Theron undoubtedly looked the best at the awards night. Charlize’s wardrobe spelled ‘fun’ and ‘fearless’. The attitude in which the gorgeous actress carried herself complemented her casual yet flamboyant gown by Dior Couture perfectly. A vintage Cartier headband made her look diva-esque and extremely feminine.
Sofia Vergara we are sure made the men go weak in the knees once again in a teal body-hugging strapless mermaid silhouette by Vera Wang. Sofia knew how to accentuate her curves and that’s precisely what she did.
Jessica Biel looked gorgeous in her almost bridal outfit! Don’t we just love Elie Saab lace dresses. Biel looked virginal and divine in white
Badly dressed in Black
Whoever wore black, looked either boring or too loud.
Even the bewitching Mila Kunis looked uninspiring and jaded in her black single shoulder.
Debra Messing looked messy and two sizes bigger in her single shoulder black trumpet gown
The very pretty Rooney Mara seemed as if she would drown herself in the Nina Ricci column gown she wore. The gown was wearing her and it’s never a good thing,
Meryl Streep dressed according to her age, won the Best Actress GG but failed to impress in her full length gown by Alessandra Rich.
Celebs who went OTT
Madonna in her tighter than tight body hugging, low neckline dress oozed discomfort than sex appeal
Salma Hayek competed with Madonna in ‘who’s dress is tighter’ category. Hayek wore a strapless Gucci gown with a metallic gold bodice which made her more like a Super woman!
Dianna Agron looked terrible in her red Giles Deacon-designed gown. It screamed for attention and for the wrong reasons.
Paula Patton looked more like a traffic signal in bright yellow Monique Lhuillier gown.
Sober and stylish
Diana Lane in a beige flowing chiffon dress, Heidi Klum in her nude Calvin Klein, Emma Stone in two toned Lanvin looked sober and stylish

Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jan 13, 2012, under 1
Pageant History will be made on January 14th, 2012 when Diana Dreman, the daughter of Miss America 1974, Rebecca King Dreman, becomes the first daughter of as Miss America to compete for the Miss America title. Diana, a University of Colorado at Boulder graduate, already made pageant history and followed in her mother’s footsteps when she won the Miss Colorado title on June 25th, 2012.
Dreman’s mother, Rebecca King, Miss Colorado 1973, made history, of sorts, as well as the first contestant to candidly admit that she had entered the pageant for scholarship money to attend law school. King went on to win the 1974 crown and became a respected titleholder, known for her intelligence and candor on political issues and feminism. Following her reign, King graduated from law school and became a prominent attorney in Denver. King eventually married banker Goerge Dreman, with whom she had two daughters.
People’s Choice Awards 2012: Red Carpet Brings Out The Brightest Stars! (PHOTOS)
Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jan 12, 2012, under 1
Red, white and blue… and pink and yellow and green all made appearances at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Although the dress code was ambiguous (outfits ranged from daytime skirt-and-top combos to sparkly evening gowns), celebrities all seemed to follow some unspoken rule to wear as many bright colors as possible.
And surprisingly, most of them looks pretty darn good. Kelly Osbourne picked a lovely, long orange-skirted dress; Chloe Moretz looked fashion-forward yet age-appropriate in a black and green Proenza Schouler dress; and Ginnifer Goodwin reminded us what a real style star she is in a neon pink Roksanda Ilincic frock with bell sleeves.
But then Emma Stone hit the red carpet and made everyone else look like amateurs. The starlet wore a trim Gucci jacket with black trim a gold chain across the front, a white blouse and narrow black trousers that fit like a glove.
Between the slick cut, inventive design and vivid color against her red hair, Stone hit it out of the park.
Check out all the celebs, from TV actresses to pageant queens, in their bright red carpet looks. Who had the best look of the night? Tell us in the comments!

Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jan 04, 2012, under 1
Stalking every boutique like a serial killer takes out a lot of energy. It’s like every store has everything in it but it misses out the one thing you want most. People are never satisfied with any one store. Perhaps a collective of stores given, but It sill isn’t enough. With the help of the Internet though, Buying Clothes Online can give trendsetters a lot of clothes to choose from without the need of actually going to boutiques or malls.You might as well stay at home and buy clothes on the net than walk through aisles of clothes that everyone is wearing or wait in line at the fitting room. One more thing, you get to evade from annoying and irritating sales ladies with the automatic responses who’d keep on tailing you or even falsely accuse you of shop lifting.
Buying clothes online can’t be simple enough. All you need to do is look for online stores on search engines and you’d get thousands of links to dress shops, fashion boutiques and lot more. You’d get to sit back and enjoy shuffling through all sorts of clothes the online stores have. They also have complete details of the merchandise such as the size, available colors and the type of fabric it is made up of. You also need to have a credit card when you’re ready to purchase the items you’ve dropped in you shopping cart and also a bit of patience for the delivery which will only take at least a day or so depending on your location.
You can have a blissful weekend while you’re taking a sip from your cup of Caramel Macchiato while waving at your friends who were frantically searching for their ideal dress for the party. All you have to do is wait for the delivery to arrive and everything’s set and you’re off to the party with your new dress.
So whenever your friends ask you where you buy you clothes on line. You can simply say that you bought it from France but on Online Shopping. Now, buying clothes online can also be one great hobby that you can add up to your list.
Johnny Weir Married To Victor Voronov: Figure Skating Champion Marries Boyfriend (PHOTOS)
Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jan 03, 2012, under 1
Love was certainly in the air, at least in the sports world, as 2011 gave way to 2012. First, Michael Jordan got engaged on Dec. 29. Then LeBron James proposed to his longtime girlfriend shortly after midnight at a New Year’s Eve party. And on that same night, figure skating champion Johnny Weir married his boyfriend Victor Voronov, an Atlanta-based lawyer.
“I’m married!” he Tweeted. “No more livin’ in sin!”
Weir had discussed his wedding plans In an interview with IceNetwork.com on Dec. 29.
“His name is Victor [Voronov], he’s kind of everything that I’ve ever looked for and aspired to be in a relationship with,” the three-time U.S. champion and two-time Olympian said. “We’ve known each other for a long time and we reconnected over the summer, and it’s just been a whirlwind. I’m very happy with my personal life and also my professional life, and I thank God I can be exactly where I’m at.”
The 27-year-old publicly revealed he was gay in his autobiography Welcome To My World, which was released in January 2011 and excerpted in People magazine. He had previously avoided direct answers to questions about his sexuality in the press.
“I’m not ashamed to be me,” wrote Weir. “More than anyone else I know, I love my life and accept myself. What’s wrong with being unique? I am proud of everything that I am and will become.”
In June 2011, Weir was given the honor of being the grand marshal of the Los Angeles PRIDE Parade, one of the largest LGBT celebrations in the United States.
Weir and Voronov tied the knot in New York, a state that legalized gay marriage in June. The newlyweds departed the Empire State on Monday for their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic.
Politically correct terms for plus size
Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Dec 19, 2011, under Plus Size
Plus size clothing has been around for a long time, but almost always under the auspices of the term ‘plus size’. Though there’s nothing too awfully wrong with this term, many women find it slightly offensive, and it’s not difficult to see why. Though it’s not outrageously derogatory (as it would be if these clothes were called, say ‘fat size’), the term is certainly not a positive one and it is one that causes negative feelings and takes away some of the joy that women usually feel in their shopping endeavors.
It is quite natural that women enjoy going out and shopping for all kinds of new and beautiful things; perhaps women should not link their self-image and their happiness to how good they look in their clothing, but it’s incontestable that when a woman puts on a new outfit that she thinks she looks good in, her face radiates more of her natural beauty and happiness. Looking good in clothes is not just about the clothes being pretty and them fitting well; looking good also has a lot to do with how a woman feels in her clothes, and let’s face it, it’s not fun to be faced with a label that says ‘plus size’ every time one puts clothing on, takes it off, or puts it through the laundry.
There are many reasons for which the trend in naming bigger sized clothing ‘plus size’clothing is hanging. One reason is that terms tend to evolve to include more politically correct terms as the concept involves.
Many examples of this can be seen throughout history, most prominently with words that refer to race, ethnicity, and disease. Another reason that the term ‘plus size’ is beginning to be replaced is that many more women are finding themselves in this size clothing than ever before. Americans, and people across the globe to a certain extent, are growing and unfortunately, they are growing faster outwards than upwards. This means that more and more women are wearing size 14 and above than ever before.
In addition, different manufacturers have different concepts of where the cut-off between ‘regular size’ and ‘plus size’ lies. What this means is that some companies place a size ten or a size twelve among their plus size lines. This does not help matters – especially when it comes to plus size wedding dresses or other formal attire.
In an effort to combat this problem, some retailers are replacing the traditional term with other terms that are less confrontational. For example, some manufacturers have two distinctions for women’s clothing, such as ‘Misses’ sizes and ‘Women’s’ sizes; this is one way to make the size distinction that is more politically correct and just plain more attractive than the traditional distinctions. Other manufacturers use terms like ‘Generous’ to refer to their lines of larger-sized clothing for women. Both of these options are currently preferred, and might even contribute to drumming up business for the companies that find nicer ways to refer to larger sizes of clothing.

Batik – An Uniqueness Of Indonesia That Will Be Famous Around The Planet
Posted by Darius Cordell Couture in Jun 02, 2011, under Clothing
Indonesia is a multicultural country which consists of thousand islands and tribes. The variation of demography and geography cause cultural variation, including the outfits worn by every tribe. Batik is one of several outfits that are quite popular, and its popularity has been known worldwide.
If you watch TV and see the President of Indonesia talking in public or in international conferences, you can see him wearing such an ethnic shirt with unique motifs. That is what so called batik, the national clothes of Indonesia people.
In several occasions, Indonesian may wear their traditional outfits, such as kebaya, baju kurung, ulos, etc. But when they come to national events, batik talks much. This outfit is a symbol of unity. It is a uniform which is considered as a must. This is a way to demonstrate how proud they are to be Indonesia people.
Indonesian Batik has been claimed as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity for all the techniques, technology, motif development, and the cultural values wanted to create a piece of it. It’s because the process includes 2 factors: coloring strategies and the choice of the motifs. This step isn’t easy since every motif should have a characteristic.
Indonesian believe that the existence of Batik started in Majapahit period, and increasingly popular in the end of 18th century or he beginning of nineteenth century. Batik was actually purely handmade, but later on, as the technology has developed, it is mostly printed. What supports this modify the most is the amount of orders. The handmade ones do need long time of painting, but the printed ones need shorter time.
Years ago, batik was only worn in formal events. At that time, Indonesian tend to select batik instead of tuxedo or other formal outfits. But today, batik is even worn by college students and workers as their uniform in certain days, such as every Friday.
In some families, Batik is even considered as a tradition. It makes them have their own motifs which are different from other families. It’s like their identity, since the motifs can even show their economical status. Until now, the traditional motifs are still used by the family of Yogyakarta and Surakarta residence. Batik is probably the most unique outfit you have ever known. Where else you can discover that brands do not talk much, but motifs do?
If you take a trip to Indonesia then you be able to get that there are several areas in Indonesia is very famous as a producer batik, which Pekalongan, Yogyakarta, and Solo.
In addition to producing batik cloth, they also produce it in the form of apparel like baju batik, shirts, dress, blouse, and others. Because their production quality is good then their products better known as batik pekalongan and batik jogja.
