Malia Mills - The Creative Process

    We are getting so excited for the upcoming Malia Mills trunk show! Malia Mills started her swimwear company in 1992 with a mission to inspire women to embrace their individuality and love their bodies while wearing a swimsuit. Elle magazine says "edgy swimwear designer Malia Mills is the first designer in the history of the world to acknowledge that most women hate trying on swimsuits and aren't all five-foot-ten and 120 pounds." With this in mind, Malia designs one pieces and separates in a variety of fabrics and bra sizes that "liberate women from feelings of inadequacy that accompany the struggle to find a suit that fits." We love the huge smiles that women at Lille wear while trying on Malia Mills suits, and hope you'll join in on the fun at the trunk show!

    Malia will be at Lille Boutique on Friday June 3rd & Saturday June 4th to present her amazing swimwear in a range of sizes and styles requested by none other than our lovely customers.

    Take a peak at this video of Malia's studio and creative process from NBC. Don't you just love her already?

ENGINEERED FOR YOUR COMFORT

    Ever wonder how high heels are made? How strutting around in tiny pencils all day do not split and break? CNN and Christian Louboutin go into detail about the making of his legendary stilettos.  In making such great shoes starts with high quality materials. From the wood for the heel, the aluminum support for the wooden heel, and top grade leather. The reason why the heel does not move is because, "If it is not exactly inside the center of gravity position, inside the gravity line, the weight would make you flip out behind, or the weight would make you break the heel and (fall forwards)," he said" (Turner).

OPINION: DOES GAGA LIKE G.I.S.M.?




                                                                                                     A previous comment to one of our posts brought up the subject of appropriation. As this is a large issue in fashion (ahem, Mugatu’s Derelict?), I think it’s an important issue to address.

    Indeed, fashion is fueled by inspiration, but what happens when the inspiration is class-based? There’s no doubt that there’s a cycle in fashion: street style is inspired by designer fashion from a trickle down of course, yet high fashion is often inspired by street fashion--punk fashion in particular.

    This is by no means a new phenomenon, as many big-name designers were out there going to punk shows back in the 70s (I’m looking at you, Westwood and Gaultier), but lately it’s been a growing trend to sport what is known as a “rocker” look.


    The Avengers

    Yes, it may look tough and “edgy” (more intended to look threatening), which is precisely the point, but this particular case of inspiration may come off to punk rockers as an exploitive, almost watered down, version of a hard-boiled subculture that grew from working-class, disaffected youth—a time when  fresh revolt and change against conventionality and consumerism in music and fashion was imperative to creative regeneration.

    Just as punk music has been hugely influential in musical genres that followed, it has been hugely influential in fashion. During the past few years, “punk” style has been worn by practically everyone, most likely because of the recent demands of studs and spikes popularized by houses such as Christian Louboutin, Burberry, Balmain.

    Haven’t you seen those friendly looking studs on your mother’s purse, or the vinyl motorcycle jackets from Forever 21 that have recently become a huge hit? Perhaps this is something that’s fueled by celebrities, since it’s a known fact that many people look up to the rich and famous for inspiration.

    Britney’s recent music video featured her dancing like it was the end of the world wearing a  Burberry studded Burberry jacket that's going for $5,995 on Net-a-Porter.com. Tough-looking? Of course. Attractive? To some. But as many punks know, punk fashion is all about DIY. Why would anyone want to spend that much money when a studded jacket is a piece to be cherished, something many adolescents spend their allowances on, to carefully stud, design, patch, and paint to their liking? Britney, you may look great, but it’s obvious that Burberry loaned you a pre-studded jacket to entice others into the trend as well.



    Then there’s Gaga. Oh Gaga. Who else would be as daring to wear something as controversial as a studded moto jacket? Here she is, in the Telephone video, showing off what actually looks like a hand studded jacket. Go Gaga! Oh, one thing. There’s a G.I.S.M. patch? Strangely, as a pop artist, it’s highly doubtful that Gaga’s mainstream appeal could be inspired by one of the most intimidating Japanese hardcore punk bands whose usual stage antics included a flame thrower. 



    Let's take another look--
    G.I.S.M. VS. GAGA


    ?
    Yeah, I can't either.

    So, I say to my readers. Being on trend is fun, but it’s not quite the same when it’s not you. If you do like punk fashion, it might be a good idea to keep in mind that the studs you see on that belt may not be the best of quality, and that it looks way cooler if you make it yourself. Plus, it’s way more fun.

    Also, it might be a good idea to listen to some punk while you’re at it. Just so you can get a taste of the DIY experience.

    Here’s a link to some online stores for quality studs-

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: ZUHAIR MURAD

    The first time I had ever heard of Zuhair Murad was when I working at MNG by Mango two summers ago. As I browsed all the dresses on the floor, I noticed a few full length gowns that were absolutely stunning. The colors were very flattering with extravagant detailing that I could not take my eyes or hands off the dresses. I looked at the label and he was a featured designer that collaborated with Mango. Since then, he became my favorite designer that I always look up to.

    Zuhair Murad is a Lebanese designer with a high reputation in the fashion world. His extensive line includes ready-to-wear, haute couture, and accessories. With his background as a huge influence on his garments, he incorporates culture with luxury where it is reminiscent of Egyptian princesses and Grecian goddesses. Murad is well respected and popular amongst celebrities such as Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Shakira, and Miley Cyrus.

    Take a look at Zuhair Murad's Spring/Summer 2011Collection:

I'm Off

    To my first day of this:

    A little update on things before I go:

    1) Today is day 7 with no added sugars/refined flours, I have not caved once :)  The hardest part (for me) is not giving into cravings, but figuring out what to eat, there is added sugar in EVERYTHING!  I even survived AppleBees yesterday.

    2) I have pretty easily lost the 2lbs I have been fighting with for a while and my cal intake is approx the same., but I actually have to make sure that I am getting enough calories everyday now.

    3) Some foods that I've been relying on: Mixed nuts, boiled eggs, olives, string cheese, chick peas, lots of fruit and veg (esp, apples, blueberries, bananas, baby carrots, broc, romaine, red pep, cuc and I finally made kale chips) :D, tuna, chicken, natural PB.

    4) I'm actually enjoying my coffee black, this is a welcome surprise :)

    5) I have felt a little less energy on my runs, but otherwise I feel great :D I

    6) I've been drinking less, but my new sugar free drink of choice is Vodka with Ice water and squeezed lime.  Also when I'm home I throw a few frozen cherries in.  I discovered this even before I decided to go sugar free because I wanted a lower cal drink option for the summer.  Last summer I gained 5 + lbs drinking sugar laden, 700 calorie per can 4Loko. O. M. G! I just looked that up: 60 g! of sugar in one can.  

    7) The training plan has not exactly gone accordingly (not getting into details right now), nonetheless I am still happy with my training.

       Time to get moving.  

       Hope everyone is having the best MDW :D

Fashion II Fresh Futuristic for Oz Go

    The Holiday Collection of Oz Go was part of the Vision and Trends Category of recently held Philippine Fashion Week as the SMX Convention Hall in the SM Mall of Asia Complex.

    It was a futuristic style that reminded me of storm troopers because if the stark white used in the clothing. Nonetheless, the clothes were refreshing with the punched of color that varied throughout the collection.

    Angles were put into good use by making unusual yet body flattering shapes, venturing forth into new ways of creating artistic pieces that can be easily worn.

    As i stated earlier the pieces were visually easy on the eyes and refreshing, especially since there were some delightfully quirky aspects to the pieces. Like the leggings with what seems to be bolts of some sorts and the pants with angled extensions. It's in between being comfortable and relaxed to being edgy and chic.

    It's like candy that has that kick in it, and makes you want more.

    The futuristic trend is big this coming season, this is definitely a fresh take on the futuristic concept.
