Welcome to the Fashion 411! Fashion, Foolishness and Feminine Attractiveness
“Clothes make the man” wrote American author, humorist, and practical philosopher “Mark Twain,” the pen name of Samuel L. Clemens. He recognized, as we all do, that first appearances are important and that a man’s clothing influences our initial assessment of him. Twain added that naked people had little impact on the world, but he wrote before Playboy arose.

Designer Way Zen for JSong
This season, Way Zen was inspired by a walk she took in the city park during a snowy day. "New York only snowed once this season; I was so happy to be caught in it. I was drunk by the snow and dreaming of Snow Angels." She recalled.
This runway show revolved around a wintry world that is both fantastic and austere. The Snow Fairy appeared in hand-embroidered organic yarn dresses and sculpted flora skirts blossom with Winter Blooms. The collection was balanced with simple, streamlined shirts and signature “Origami – Geometry” hand folded cashmere coats.

Let's talk Asian beauty
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to speak to Hollywood Beauty Specialist and beauty editor of Viva Glam Magazine, Katarina Van Derham, about Asian beauty. Katarina is a world re-known beauty specialist. When asked about her ideal concept of beauty, she stated, "I disagree with the belief that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know many people may agree with this. But there is a science behind what is attractive. And what is attractive is beauty. I know the science behind it whereas many people in the beauty industry don't.
