Real Time Fashion Advice Coming to the Web

Web surfers have become an audience for fashion companies that is quite used to having things as rapidly as possible and this is certainly the case when it comes to getting advice. Many surfers find that they are able to get a huge range of tips via search engines, but a new site is coming online that will offer 24 hour advice services as part of its presentation. By including a panel of expe3rts that range from fashion magazine staff member sot celebrity stylists, the new site will be called What to Wear and offer users a Q & A style experience that offers fashion advice in about 10 minutes time from live people. According to reviewers, the site functions similarly to the way micro blogging site Twitter does, giving photo based question and answers which help users make a decision on what to wear, even allowing other participants at the site to be able to comment on the selections being given as advice.

The stable of advisers is certainly looking quite keen in the eyes of many reviewers, with Scarlett Johannson and Rachel Bilson stylist Nicole Chavez taking part, along with Claire Danes and Beyonce stylist Nick Steele, Katy Perry stylist Johnny Wujeck and Mary Kate Olsen stylist Tammy Eckenswiller who also dresses pop singer Rihanna. Some critics have pointed to the site’s approach of offering advice that links directly to retail websites offering clothes for sale as perhaps not in the best interest of advice seekers, but it remains to be seen how consumers will take to the site’s new approach.

2010 Set to Be a Sizzling Year for Women’s Swimwear

As always, fashion designers like to be ahead of the curve in translating the desires of the masses into physical goods to be worn in the summer sun. This year will be no exception with designers already hinting at new trends to come in women’s swimwear, among them a range of truly revolutionary looks that will define Summer 2010 as one of the most scorching departures from the average that fashion has seen in some time now. The monokini is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after and talked about articles of summer swimwear and it is not surprise that hot designers are rapidly working up a whole new look for this new classic. From Carmen Marc to Miss Sixty, hot new looks are coming out such as the cutaway monokini which takes parts of the fabric out of the design to create striking patterns that are sure to draw plenty of attention to the bodies of those who choose to indulge in this latest trend. Tight bodies and full tans are in once again in 2010 and the swim suits are certainly setting out to prove this is sharp style.

Of course, no summer would be complete without the style of ladies attire that has become a true establishment in the beach tradition: the bikinis that come out every summer. This year the colors are moving to more neutral territory as designers lash back against the brilliance of past years where super bright colors became the rage. All the top designers seemed to be embracing earth tones and other neutral hues this year more than ever in an effort to reinvent the bikini look as we know it today. The over the shoulder monokini has become another big favorite, designed to emphasize the womanly curves of the shoulder region and bring the eye up towards the face. Fashion columnists are commenting that this year a bikini is going to be an absolute necessity for those who want to look their best at the beach, but the selection of designers involved is broader in 2010 so women will have far more choices than in years past.
