Stylemakers Predict Subtle 2009 Awards-Season Fashion

Celebrity Shoe Trend

When celebrities step onto the Golden Globe Awards red carpet this Sunday, subtle and subdued are expected to be the big buzzwords of the evening, style-wise.

What’s likely to be out: massive baubles and diamond-encrusted shoes. What could be in: minimalist jewelry and ensembles in neutrals or rich colors like turquoise or plum.

“The days of wearing the three million-dollar necklace are over–this is not the time to be wearing that,” says celebrity stylist Jeanne Yang, who has dressed stars like Anna Paquin for the red carpet and predicts that jewelry trends at the Globes will center more on colored stones and vintage pieces instead of flashy items. “Even if everybody knows that you’re borrowing it, I can’t imagine that anybody would wear something that’s over the top.”

Last year’s Stuart Weitzman “Retro Rose” shoes, studded with over $1 million worth of Kwiat diamonds, designed for then-nominee Diablo Cody. Ms. Cody opted against the shoes, and accepted her Oscar in gold ballet flats.

The red carpet during awards season, which kicks off this Sunday and continues through the Academy Awards in late February, is an opportunity for fashion labels to get millions of dollars in free advertising and brand-building through an event that not only has global reach but also has a very long shelf life. Pictures of celebrities looking their best — or worst — at awards shows sometimes end up running in magazines and on Web sites years after the event. In 2007, the last time the Globes was staged, 20 million people in 150 countries tuned in to watch, says the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

In an effort to strike the right chord during a recession, some designers have been sending stylists looks that are more sedate. Stuart Weitzman, who usually produces a small collection of shoes for the awards season, says this line usually comprises 75% “glitzy, blingy” shoes and 25% “classy” shoes that are less showy. This year, however, 75% of the collection is subdued while 25% is flashy, says Mr. Weitzman, who notes that he’s seen high interest in satin shoes in neutral colors or pale metallics among stars and stylists so far.

Pamella DeVos, who designs the Pamella Roland line that actresses like Kim Cattrall and Jennifer Garner have worn on red carpets, says she expects that there’ll still be Hollywood glamour on the red carpet on Sunday but it will be elegant rather than flashy. “There are a lot of people who want to see Hollywood be glamorous,” she says. “People think this will lift (Americans) out of the doom and gloom.” — Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan

Celebrity Shoe Trend

By Lisa Monforton, Calgary HeraldJanuary 10, 2009

Suddenly, it's fashionable to be frugal. This is just as apparent in the travel world as it is on Wall Street, Bay Street and everywhere in between. There's no shame in holding out for the best bargain; has there ever been?

This year, prognosticators insist, people will reap the travel rewards amid the economic doom and gloom -- if they have the stomach and the cash to spend. Re-sole those walking shoes, instead of buying new, pack the faded bikini and bring your own snacks on the plane or to the ski hill in the interest of saving your pennies for what really counts -- the destination or the experience.

And if you're spending big bucks on a vacation, keep it to yourself. Inconspicuous consumption is also in vogue.

Some trends on the slightly hazy travel horizon include: frequent mini-holidays, cheaper and greener cruising, belt-tightening business travel and sustainable travel on a budget.

Most importantly, airlines, hotels and entire cities built on tourism are begging for our business, and that gives the travelling public an edge.

A good time, not a long time

Simon Hudson, tourism professor at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business, accepts it's going to be a lean year.

Calgarians still have money, but the economic malaise has affected our psyche, so we're playing it cautious with our cash. Just as the previous decade's good economic times precipitated the mini-break trend (no time to play), the lean times are having the same effect (play at the risk of a job loss?).

We're travelling more like Europeans, so what we'll see is more frequent short-stay trips, three or four days maximum, says Hudson. All while soaking up the experience, Blackberry in pocket, of course.

"There's a demise of the package seven-day holiday."

Alberta's travel industry is already seeing the upside of this trend and is adapting. For example, says Hudson, the heli-skiing outfit Canadian Mountain Holidays, as recently as last year offered only four-day trips. This year, you can go for one day.

Other destinations have cottoned on to this trend too, says Sean Shannon, managing director of Expedia.ca.You no longer have to be locked into a seven-day all inclusive resort holiday; it could be done in half that time, says Shannon. "People are looking for a number of unique experiences," says Hudson.

"Last-chance" and ecotourism

Costa Rica, the Galapagos and Antarctica have been the darlings of sustainable, or "last-chance,"tourism movement, but watch for India, West Africa and Dubai, says Hudson.

Ecotourism is expected to remain strong with boomers, says Hudson, though they may choose more wallet-friendly eco-destinations, like Costa Rica or Ecuador.

As an aside, Hudson adds consumers are more attuned to greenwashing, and everyone from hoteliers to airlines need to be more careful about throwing around the G-word. "If you promote yourself as the greenest destination in the world,"says Hudson, "you darn well better be."

Belt-tightening in business travel

Joe Brancatelli, editor of the business traveller's website joesentme.com said he was having trouble "separating the fear and anxiety from business travel." Since Labour Day, there has been a tremendous drop in business travel, and he likened it to the post-9/11 world.

As we all know, when the U. S. sneezes. . . .

Business travel is "the first thing you cut and the last thing that gets restored to your budget."

For American companies that will still be travelling this year, Brancatelli says they'll be looking to find cost savings, staying at cheaper hotels and finding cheaper flights. Brancatelli imagines many Calgary businesses are talking to their suppliers, looking for discounts. "This time, business travellers have the hammer. They're saying, 'You want my business, you'll have to work for it.' "

The same goes in reverse: "Airlines (that) have resisted discounting in the front of the plane; they won't anymore," which means there'll be sales in business class.

Shelly Lewchuk offers a western Canadian perspective as a board member of the National Business Travel Association in Canada, echoing Brancatelli.

"In terms of approaching suppliers looking for discounts, I would say that companies are definitely being more selective in their choice of preferred suppliers, particularly when it comes to their hotel spend. . . . I am seeing some companies reduce their number of preferred suppliers in order to better consolidate their spend and negotiate deeper discounts."

As for travel cutbacks, Lewchuk adds, it's not as drastic as in the U. S.

"Most oil and gas companies began to re-evaluate their travel programs a year ago, following the Alberta government's announcement of changes to its royalty regime. Thus, at least at this point in time, we are seeing minor refinements to their existing programs to maximize value, rather than drastic, across-the-board cutbacks."

cruising to the deals

We started to see some of the big trends in cruising in 2008, but many of them will gain momentum this year, says Vancouver-based Phil Reimer, who writes a weekly column called Ports and Bows for Canwest newspapers, including the Calgary Herald. He also has a website ( portsandbows.com).

While automakers are being pushed to make smaller cars, the cruise lines are taking the tack that bigger is better. In 2008, Royal Caribbean floated three new mega-cruise ships (Liberty, Independence and Freedom), each with a carrying capacity of 4,000 passengers. In December, Oasis of the Seas is set to sail with room for 5,400. "They're trying to entice people who haven't cruised before."

The idea of a floating resort has mass appeal, especially among families travelling together, another trend that will continue unabated, says Reimer. Disney is launching two more ships this year and several more larger ships will be docking at Port Canaveral to capture the Disney World and Orlando crowd.

other cruising trends - More dining options on board. Reimer was on the Celebrity Solstice cruise recently and had the choice of four restaurants, including Italian, Asian and bistro. Of course, it's not included in the cruise price, but Reimer says it's pretty good value. On a recent Carnival cruise, he dined for $30, which he said would have cost him $60 in Calgary or Vancouver. - Exclusivity is something more cruises are offering, with options such as "Spa Class" staterooms. Examples include Holland America's Eurodam, Carnival's Splendor, Celebrity Solstice and MSC Fantasia with it's Yacht Club. You'll pay extra for your cabin, but you get full use of a spa retreat complete with your own private pool. You can choose to mingle with the rest of the cruisers or not. - Best cruising value in the coming year: the Caribbean is still the biggest and most popular, but Europe is where the deals will be found, even though you have to pay for your flight and at least a one-night hotel stay. Reimer says with the faltering economy, that might be a prohibitive, but the water versus land value can't be beat because they're at about half price, and you're paying for the cruise in Canadian dollars, not in euros.

Greener ships and skies

Those behemoths of the sea aren't exactly held up as the greenest modes of transportation. However, the industry has made a few eco-friendly baby steps, says cruise specialist Reimer.

San Diego became the first port of call to provide onshore electrical plug-ins to cruise ships capable of using them. That saves about 10 hours of emissions from those chugging engines. The next port to go green will be Vancouver in April, where three ships a day will plug in, among them Princess and Holland American lines.

"We're gradually going to see more of that," says Reimer.

Recycling efforts on board have also come a long way on the newest cruise ships. Ships are being redesigned to separate waste for recycling, and many new and old ships are being tarted up with non-toxic paints.

You'll be hearing a lot more about a couple of bio-fuel-based aviation test flights in the coming months.

Meanwhile, on Dec. 30, Air New Zealand successfully conducted what it says was the first commercial jet flight during a two-hour test with one of four engines running on jatropha oil. Jatropha is a poisonous plant that grows in harsh climates in India and Africa and was chosen because it doesn't negatively affect resources with food crops. By 2013, Air New Zealand hopes to be using bio-fuel for 10 per cent of its fuel consumption. Next up with a bio-fuel test is Japan Airlines, expected in March.

A Preview of the Hottest Trends

2007-09-28T19:29:00.000-07:00

A Peek at What's In Store for Shoes this Autumn

Even though I'm still wearing flip-flops, the shoe stores tell me it's already time to start thinking about autumn -- and I know all of you are dying to know what footwear is in store for the 2007 fall season. Here's a preview of things to come.

Platform Soles and Extreme Heels

Platform shoes are the hottest footwear trend for fall, but the also making news are the extreme heels that are being paired with platform soles. Chunky, high, angular, wide, and even cone-shaped, this fall, the heels will be more extreme and sexier than ever.

Boots and Booties

Of course, the big footwear news any time the weather cools down is what's happening with boots, and this season. This fall, heeled boots and booties will be out in abundance, though for casual wear, you'll still be able to find plenty of flats.

While the slouchy look hasn't completely gone the wayside yet, it's threatening to look a little dated.

Shoes for the Hottest Fall Fashions

2007-09-18T21:39:00.000-07:00

They're never really out of style, but thanks to the popularity of mini dresses, this fall footed tights are even hotter than usual. Two shoe styles that work especially well with opaque hosiery are heeled, and ankle strap shoes. For a long, streamlined look, match tights to dark shoes. If you want to wear tights in a lighter or bright shade, match your shoes to one of the dominant hues in your skirt or dress.

Wide-legged trousers or jeans find their perfect match for those extreme heels I mentioned above especially those with chunky heels and platform soles.

And while platform shoes also work great with skinny jeans (assuming of course, you can pull of wearing skinny jeans), a thin high heel will keep the look from getting too clunky. Ballet flats (round or pointy-toed) are also a great option with skinny jeans.

Perfect Prom Shoes - Simple Tips On How To Find Them

2007-08-05T19:14:00.000-07:00

by: Jason Anderson

You've spent countless hours searching for the perfect prom dress, and finally found it. Now you need to find the perfect shoe to go with your dress. But it doesn't have to be hard! All you need to know is a few fashion tricks, and the perfect prom shoe will be yours.

The most important thing to keep in mind is comfort. It doesn't matter how amazing and fantastic the shoe that you pick is - if you are unable to walk by the end of the night, it was the wrong one! How can you look at your best if your feet feel like they are about to fall off?

High heels are a common style of shoe, and for good reason - they make your legs look longer and slimmer and force you to keep good posture. But you don't need to go ridiculous with the heel height. Two-inch heels are more than enough to give the desired effect while saving your poor feet.

If you are used to them, strapped dress sandals are quite popular and can be worn with most dresses. But they can be a pain to wear - you may find it more comfortable to choose a dress shoe with an enclosed toe. If you get an enclosed toe, make sure they have a soft, cushioned upper lining (leather is preferable).

Another option for shoes that are extremely comfortable to wear are ballet shoes. Unfortunately they are only suitable with full skirts (they just don't look right with tight fitted dresses).

It probably doesn't need to be said, but do ensure that you pick shoes that are the correct size for you. Shoes that are too big or too small will never feel comfortable, and a shoe that is too big could leave you with blisters or even come off at an embarrassing moment!

Once you have decided on your shoes for the prom, make sure you wear them in before the night. The easiest way to do this is to wear them around the house for an hour or so each day for a week. If you aren't used to the style of shoe you bought, this also gives you a chance to become used to them.

One final tip; it can be difficult to find a colour that matches exactly, so you will have two options. You can try to find a complementary colour (for example, black to go with a dark coloured dress), or if the shoe is the right type you can dye it to match.

If you decide to dye your shoes, remember that dyed items look different indoors compared to outdoors. For example, shoes dyed grey may take on a purple tone outside. There is nothing that can be done to stop this, so be sure to tell your dyer if the event is indoor or outdoor.

Fashion Tips on How to Select that Perfect Prom Shoe

2007-07-15T19:43:00.000-07:00

Prom is coming near, you have completed your preparation for prom, selected a nice prom dress, fixed the prom make up and hairstyle appointments, everything is just perfect, but did you select the right prom shoes. One thing girls often overlook while preparing for prom is their shoes.

Normally girls select prom shoes based on their prom dresses, they select a shoe which complements their prom dress look wise and color wise. But on prom night you’re expected to dance a lot, and you may find yourself limping after the dance for the rest of night. So it's important that you select right prom shoes with the right balance of style and comfort.

The important thing after selecting the prom shoe don't keep it in your closet so that it should be safe till prom, rather wear it before prom and try get your feet the feel of your shoe, so that it would be comfortable wearing it on the most important prom night.

Select a prom shoe that would be more than just a prom shoe, a shoe that you can use even after prom, on other occasions, on various dresses, is wise. A Silver sandal would go with most of formal, semi-formal dresses like sundresses, cocktail-dresses and also with those casual ones like jeans, skirts and trendy pants. Black sequined flip-flops with a black prom dress would be real wise purchase it would be more than just a prom shoe.

Don't go out there to buy a shoe with same color as your dress, just try and find a shoe with complementing color. Even then you want a shoe that has same color, order shoe and get it dyed as your dress color, this service is mostly provided by bridal stores.

Most of the girls today go for high heels to add extra height, but don't get stuck with this idea you can also select flats and flip-flops as I mentioned above comfortability is also important. If adding height is necessity for you then go for shoes with kitten-heels, sandals with low or wide heels, slides, or slingbacks.

The most important thing try and be imaginative, create your own style, I m just giving you tips not hard written rules.

How To Help Your Teen Find Just The Right Shoes For Their Prom

2007-06-25T19:48:00.000-07:00

There was a time when prom shoes were very basic because the proms were not elaborate. The dances were almost invariably held in the high school gym. Teenagers wore formal clothing that they either had or their mothers sewed for the occasion. It was the first date that many of those teenagers ever went on. In later years, the proms got a little more formal, with parents buying nicer prom dresses for the girls and renting tuxes for the guys.

Now, prom is a sophisticated affair. Proms are often held in ballrooms of hotels. Prom dresses are an investment that cost in the hundreds of dollars. Prom shoes can be expensive designer shoes, if the teenagers have their way. Yet, parents can find great prom shoes for their sons and daughters without breaking the bank.

To find great prom shoes, it is important to consider what else you are wearing. Short dresses are more popular than they have been in the past. When choosing prom shoes to go with a shorter dress, it is very important that they look elegant and feminine. Many girls will want to wear a very high heel to show how grown up they are. If you are a parent, it is best to discourage very high heeled shoes. A moderate-heeled shoe will work better as your daughter dances around the ballroom all night. At the same time, it will look better with the short dress she is wearing.

Long dresses are most definitely in as well. Many girls like the sumptuous feeling of wearing all that fine fabric. It is a new trend to go back to the old days of wearing full length gloves with these exquisite dresses. When a girl is dressed in such a formal manner, you would think that designer shoes would be a must. This is not true in the least. Certainly, you will want to get feminine-looking prom shoes.

You will want shoes that are well-made to stand up to a night spent on your feet. However, there are shoes that are not designer shoes that will fill the bill. Ballet flats are wonderfully comfortable for dancing. They come in a variety of colors and do not cost a fortune either. The best advice you can get is to wear the prom dress when you try on your prom shoes. Then, you will know how well they work.

Most of the guys will be wearing tuxedos, but there will be a few rowdy exceptions will dress in much more casual attire. Those who wear tuxedos may have the option of renting shoes along with their tux. Most men 's dress shoes for proms are black, whether shiny or not, or black and white. On the other hand, young men these days may want to wear some form of athletic shoes. These are controversial and offend some people, including possibly your date. Only wear them if you have a huge amount of confidence.

Young men and women both should be comfortable in their prom shoes. They should find shoes that go with their clothing and look well with their partners' attire. For their parents' sakes, they need to allow room for the idea that prom shoes do not have to be designer shoes to carry them through the night.

How To Buy Running Shoes

2007-06-05T20:00:00.000-07:00

As an athlete or an every day person, buying running shoes is one of the best things you can do for your health. Proper running shoes are critical for a good running or walking experience, and to be able to safely exercise with the right type of support, knowing how to go about buying running shoes is more important than you might think. Your choice in running shoes can really make or break your workout experience, and if you want to get things off to a right start it is important that you choose your running shoes carefully. Chances are, your sales associate is not as knowledgeable as they sound about how to buy running shoes properly.

Shop at a "Running" Shoe Store

The worst thing you can for yourself is try to shop frugally for running shoes. The clearance rack is running shoe suicide, and more often than not you get a pair of running shoes that are malformed for your foot, too heavy or too light, or just plain do not fit right. This can be dangerous and may even potentially cause injury to your feet, legs, hips, or even your back—and all because you choose to save a few dollars by purchasing off the clearance rack.

This is not to say that buying running shoes on a dime is a bad idea. You just have to know what you are looking for and what you need in a running shoe. First of all, you are going to need proper support. Make sure that you try on your running shoes and walk around in them in the store. Many people make the mistake of thinking they know their size so they don’t have to try their shoes on at the store. You need to make sure that your shoes are not only the correct size, but also fit you right as well (this is not the same thing).

Determine Foot Type

You also need to know what type of foot you have. If you have ever had to deal with buying running shoes before, then chances are that you probably know what type of foot you have, and that is one of the most important things. Our feet are all built differently; some people have a lower arch and some people have a higher arch; still others have completely flat feet. All the different types of feet require different types of support in running shoes, so be aware of this when you are buying running shoes.

Additional Considerations

Keep in mind that your feet expand during the day, so if you go out to buy running shoes first thing in the morning, chances are that they may not fit properly. It takes a few hours of actually being on your feet for them to be at their largest, so try to get your shoe shopping in during that time, so you know your shoes will fit even at their largest. Also, if you can fit it in it is best to do your running shoe shopping at a specialty running store. This makes for not only a better selection of running shoes, but more knowledgeable sales associates as well who are not worried about selling prom pumps and running shoes, but can focus in on your particular needs.

Buying running shoes doesn’t have to be a science, but there are some key mistakes that you can avoid to make your running shoe shopping experience as pleasant as possible.

Shoe Styles Discovered While Shoe Shopping

2007-05-05T20:24:00.000-07:00

The shoe styles discovered while shoe shopping will change throughout the year because there are some shoe styles that are worn in winter but would never be considered for wear during the summer months. Discovering the right time of the year to shop will mean great savings to many shoe shoppers and many have found that they can find any style if they go shopping for shoes online.

Off-season shoe styles are often found through the internet. Online shoe retailers maintain a stock of shoes for many seasons because they have found that people travel to various parts of the world, are exposed to elements such as snow and sleet, and need winter shoes to wear that are fashionable and new. The weather might be sunny at home, but travelers will truly appreciate finding the shoe styles that they need for the changing environments that they find at a business meeting in Switzerland or even the French Alps.

One would expect to find shoe styles such as boots to be a very popular item in Texas, but where does a cowgirl turn when she wants to wear them in winter under stylish skirts and other winter wear. Many retailers understand the versatility offered in fashion footwear items such as boots and actively pursue the trading markets for boots that are fashioned from shiny black leathers with heels that would be perfect for an evening out with friends, or a full workday in an office setting.

Some shoe shopping trips are centered on finding styles that nobody else has. There are shoe shops that are off the beaten track which specialize in making form fitting shoes for an athlete. These shoe styles are a bit bigger than the ordinary athletic shoe style because they are made to accommodate arch supports that the athletes needs to remain competitive throughout the year. Some shoe styles are popular because they bear the name of a famous athlete.

The shoe styles that can be discovered for wear at certain occasions are marvelous. A bride might prefer a white dress shoe for wear at the wedding, but will need a totally different style shoe which is more casual for wear on her honeymoon. The bride and groom might choose to wear sandals if the marriage vows are going to be exchanged on a beach, and every guest might prefer to wear matching ones during the happiest wedding celebration of the year.

The shoe styles for children will be radically different than those chosen for wear in people are considerably older. A child would prefer a shoe style made from foam or fashioned with colorful and comical characters that are featured on television each week. The older adults will go shoe shopping with style and value in mind, and will often walk away with shoe styles that are sensible and stylish enough to wear for many occasions that come along in their busy lives.

A person might discover a shoe style that would be quite befitting for a princess to wear. The shoe styles offered today are often embellished with rhinestones, buttons, bows and other items that will add a spark of difference in a crowd with the same shoes on. A person can change shoe styles by changing out bows that are placed at the toe or fasteners that secure the shoe on the foot around the ankle. With a careful eye, finding new shoe styles is not difficult when a person goes shoe shopping.
