One thing you can do at any age is study the industry.  You don’t have to own a computer to do this girls.  Remember books?  They are available for free in your local library and the history of fashion is well documented.  Beyond books the library is full of magazine subscriptions to the major fashion rags.  Should you have a computer at your disposal the sites that follow fashion are in the thousands.  Find one that appeals to you and visit it often but remember to read the news not just look at the hot new looks.  One day you will want to know the leaders in the fashion industry in the direction you want to go be it modeling, design or marketing.

When you are ready to make your future come true there are modeling schools you can attend.  Don’t go with one of those that want you to pay for modeling lessons.  When you have the right stuff to be a model the agencies will want you not your money so be cautious.  Design schools are available in most major metropolitan areas and many offer scholarships for good students.

My advice is don’t just dream.  Make a plan and set goals for yourself because not everyone who is successful in the fashion world got noticed when she was a gorgeous, long legged teenager.  You got to make your own noise!

Do you have a models face? Now you can try the looks and see if you can pull it off in the privacy of your own PC! Ha-ha! They have different brands like MAC and others. It’s a lot of fun for a little diversion. You have to register to get the full effect but that only takes a few minutes.

I like the one from Lookz Lite, it is a .99 cent application that gives you videos on how to’s for beauty. D&G Fashion Channel has a very robust one that gives you access to that latest couture, videos from fashion shows and a map to the closest D&G boutique! Nice, right! So check them out!

Alexander has been a rock star in fashion for the past ten years as his company was bought up by the Gucci Group and now he is the Creative Director. His fashion design is heavily influenced by his British tailor roots and French cutting and the fine finishing of Italian design houses. Check him out!

“It’s not good to show your nipples so they should be covered,” Lohan giggled, referring to the heart-shaped pasties with a wink toward her paparazzi pictures showing her nipple exposure. The joint design and styles were thigh length dresses in hot pink, peach and white. The look seemed destined for a beach party but is extremely trendy and cute in my opinion. They are going to predicate that you better have nice thighs so don’t forget to hit the health club.

I particularly love the Survivor bracelet available at Kitson boutique designed by Lisa Stewart. It’s pink of course and so chic that can be worn anywhere for a casual touch. She also pointed out a Disco Baby Breast Cancer Ribbon Boots that are wild and a lot of fun. The name alone takes two breathes to say.

Bottom line is there are some really nice products available to support the research so check it out and help if you can!

Personally, I can’t see myself in a lot of it especially since I am not terribly fond of wearing dresses but the minis with a pair of leggings definitely could find a way into my fashion eye. Fiona models a Pucci print that I can barely look at in this picture below but what do you think? Do you like it?

So what is your take on this “stunning outfit”? Call it fashion or faux pa?
