HIGHLIGHT COLLECTION
GIAMBATTISTA VALLI COUTURE FALL 2012 From the butterfly clips to the amazing glitter eyes artistry of the makeup artists this was a spectacular collection by Valli. An array full of green and red gowns covered the runway with amazing gold leaf and beetle inspired accessories. This garden themed inspired couture collection was my favorite hands down.
Many years ago, I always looked forward to every summer only to find that on the very first day, I really have nothing to do. Now, my life has changed. Every sparing moment I have, I either spend it playing tennis along with writing and blogging about fashion: the equivalent to my new life. Since fifth grade I have always had the determination to pursue this dream of mine to have my own magazine and become an influence in the fashion world. And every step I make towards that goal, I feel accomplished. My newfound love for fashion has taken over every aspect of my life. Point is that there is a purpose to my life now. Whether it is this magazine or my blog, my new goal in life is putting all my effort into everything I do. I find inspiration all around me, and tears came to my eyes when Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, Jordyn Wieber, and Aly Raisman of the Fab 5 stood on that podium biting their gold medals. The first US team since 1996. It drives me to become the best of myself. Sounds clichĂŠ, but it is true. I never thought that I could take my dream this far. I would like to thank the fabulous bloggers who have spent hours contributing their opinions and putting this magazine together. So here I present to you the years of dreaming, months of planning, days of writing and seconds of living: the debut issue of ejing magazine.

The 70’s Queen This style influenced heavily from the 1970's reflects colors, styles and ideas from the disco era. Starting with the Christopher Kane dress, the color is a major trend for next Spring and Summer. The Jeffrey Campbell shoes paired with the grey-hue tights are the perfect, edgy, urban look. The metal necklace collar is a big trend currently - and you're sure to still stand out with it. If you're looking for a fun retro, yet still modern look filled with designer items, this look is for you.

SPRING 2013
For this season, it seems like designers are focusing on a man’s needs more than before, they are conscious that not everyone dresses in suits all day long. It was nice to get variety this season, with shorts, shirts, and accessories. And that was the key item this season, the accessories. Usually man don’t complete a look with the right accessories so perhaps this season that’s what designers wanted for the modern man to be like. Metallics were in this season, from jackets to shoes and accessories. Designers also played with the proportions, changing sleeves length and big fitting high-waisted pants. Intro by: Raul C Written by: Raul C and Davide PAGE 10 | ejing magazine
HIGHLIGHT COLLECTION: RAF SIMONS
s The collection was presented a couple weeks before Raf Simons presented his first collection for Dior, and adding feminine touches to this season’s menswear collection simply felt right. Him, being one of the most influential designers in menswear, manages to approach men’s clothing with simple cuts and changes to give a new proposition each season. Shorts with slits and the
PAGE 11 | ejing magazine
back of dresses attached to the coats were a couple of the new propositions for this season. He wanted to blur the lines between men’s and women’s clothing so that in the end it would become androgynous, the clothes was fit for both sexes and it would easily translate confidence. Normal to a Raf Simons collection were prints on the clothes, this time, in particular, he used paintings from his friend Brian Calvin. Men should not be afraid to wear pink or floral prints; the man of today can be fragile and break the rules of common menswear. By Raul

GABBANA
Sicily was again the theme for Dolce and Gabbana, but this time Sicily was actually brought to Milan for the show. Unusual to the other collections presented, they decided to use Sicilian men instead of models. In a way, the collection was really about the essence of manhood, how the grandparent can wear the same clothes as the teenagers and still look effortless. Adding to this season’s trends, the oversize pants wrapped around with a thin belt gave pants a new feeling. The printed shirts looked very comfortable and paired with those pants is simply comfort perfection. Perhaps the message they wanted to tell was about passing the torch from one generation to another. By Raul
A man’s need was the main theme with this collection, a completely useful wardrobe with key pieces. The changes of proportion, volume, and textures made this particular collection stand out so much. Even though the color palette was not diverse, it was not necessary, since the clothes had mixed prints with other peculiar materials giving richness to the pieces. High-waisted pants and shorts mixed with big fitted shirts were really outstanding. The irony of tight clothes mixed with big fitted coats over it gave a new twist as to how to wear clothes with different proportions. Adding to this season’s trends was the use of metallic clothing pieces mixed with dark items to complete the look. By Raul
GUCCI Gucci substantially always appeals to be pulsating and concentrated. This season Frida Gianini encompassed an exhibition of floriated treatments, significantly continually in constant balancing with tanned white, followed by color-blocking. Eroded textiles revealed a virtually silky texture noticeable in on the over garments. Principally the collection is a supreme grace and nimbleness of light. By Davide

BURBERRY
VERSACE For this season, Donatella Versace found inspiration in strength, not so much physically speaking but strength is what one believes in. And for sure, gladiators had to fight their way to the top. The collection started with the symbolic sexiness of the Versace men Donatella dresses every season. Colorful statement that this collection made, not to mention the floral prints on some looks and the touches of metallic accessories as well. The show had looks for all occasions, either going to the beach, formal suits, and even kinky underwear. Being bold was the message Donatella wanted to transmit to men, to not be afraid of bright colors and to be confident with their bodies. By Raul
PAGE 13 | ejing magazine
For Burberry Menswear collection it’s very evident that Christopher Bailey provoked buoyant metallic insignia. The reflective radiant shades are none like Burberry has ever finished, the depiction through the tints arranged a fresh mood for the brand. Bailey describes the palette as influenced by Painter David Hockney, while the collections geometric prints enthused by Member of Bloomsbury group Duncan Grant. The show began with embellishing metallurgic silk, implemented into the shirts and trenches, the colors were also marginally added to collars on caban and car coats, likewise seen in the glitzy sandals.Bailey tailored slender and moderate suits in Profound Prussian blue, convoyed with lustrous shirts beneath. Trousers stood tapered and frequently high cut, with two furrows on the anterior, and button details on the waistband. Repeatedly Bailey covered the glistening metallic traits with the matte, or slipped a dim, slender fit jacket above a lengthy, relaxed printed top. The collection appears to be exceptionally modish, and will strive to become fiercely acclaimed. By Davide
PORTS 1961 The House of Ports 1961 most noticeably developed precisely slim palettes to its collection. The garments utilized metallurgic colors conforming of lime, saffron, indigo, wisteria, and other silken neutrals. Prevailing was a standing with rising smock tops and enormous cabans, the assortment was definitely a more feminine approach. By Davide
STUDIOUS STYLE LOVER
This look for Fall 2012 is perfect for back to school. It says, "I'm here to learn, make good grades, and make an impression on you with my quirky style." The Madewell cardigan inspired this look, which in a way reflects the style of the 50's and 60's. With these colors, you can never be out of place in the Fall season. The look is comfortable and effortlessly stylish for those long days at school. By Owen Payne

TREND SPOTLIGHT: NEON
We’ve all seen how beautifully amazing this new/old trend has been hitting the runways. Lots of accessories and beautiful details filled with the joy and engergetic neon colors and prints bring, but the real question is: Is it really that hard to pull off? Well, it’s not. Here are some tips on how to pull off this season’s hottest trend Written by: Diego
PAGE 15 | ejing magazine
HOW TO WEAR IT Keep it simple. Don’t exaggerate, it is important to add a tone of simplicity even though it’s neon. Slow it down with accessories with simple colors such as black (e.g. neon pink dress with black stilettos and clutch). If you want to wear just a little neon to add an energetic tone to your look, just wear neon in accessories: bags, clutches, shoes, jewelry. (e.g. jeans, white t-shirt, black blazer, neon yellow flats and neon pink clutch). Follow this simple tip to stand out and make your whole outfit look impeccable
PAGE 16 | ejing magazine
HOW NOT TO WEAR IT Just don’t burn the eyes. Do not mix too much colors with accessories AND garments. Make your outfit look balanced with neutrals. Don’t overdo it. If you try to mix lots of neon colors with no simple backup (neutral colors or garments) you will end up looking like a toddler. When wearing neon pants/jeans, don’t wear bright colored jackets or shoes. Remember, digital prints look great with denim and leather.

FALL/WINTER 2012 AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY WE COULD APPRECIATE ONE MORE TIME ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED WEEK OF FASHION SHOWS OF THE YEAR. HAUTE COUTURE IS ALWAYS FULL OF ASTONISHING CRAFTSMANSHIP AND SURPRISES- AND THIS YEAR WAS NO EXCEPTION. THIS SEASON, THE COLLECTIONS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION HAD A NEW AND INTERESTING CONCEPT THAT BROUGHT A BIT OF DARKNESS.

HIGHLIGHT COLLECTION: JEAN PAUL GAULTIER The collection that filled all my expectations. Enjoyable, classic, dramatic, and glamorous all at once. What I most like from Gaultier is that he has a personal stamp on his collections; one that isn’t too obvious, you can feel it when you see his collections and this one is a very good example. The silhouettes were very elegant, the colors were vibrant, and every detail from this was very well planned and executed. Overall it was full of emotions and very alive.
PAGE 21 | ejing magazine
ARMANI PRIVÉ
If we talk about elegance and distinction Armani Privé is the best example of this. As usual the silhouettes were exquisite and the gowns had a fairytale element but very modern too. Another thing that I liked was the veils they were using; they completed the concept of the collection in an excellent way.
VALENTINO The past couture collection and the Fall 2012 collections tell a story of how a girl becomes a woman. From the colors they used and the shapes too; it seems like this fairy innocent girls that we saw and their last collections grew up to something more stricking, and I liked the concept they were showing but it was lacked and needed something more risky.
GIVENCHY Riccardo Tisci is a genius when we talk about details; it was really interesting to see all this translated through leather. I spent a lot of time gazing through the high quality pictures because I was so amazed. The image that came into my mind was a warrior combined with all the elegance that this collection brings.
MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA I could stare at this collection for hours. They always cover the models faces but I liked how they did it this time, you weren’t only focusing on the clothes, and I think this will be remembered for a long time. As for the clothes it was a really beautiful and artistic job they made, we can see all the effort they put on this; every piece was unique and memorable. PAGE 22 | ejing magazine

The dresses were impeccably company LVMH, Bernard Arnault, among them, tailored for each model's torsos with a slight nip the world held it's breath for an historic fashion in the waist, precisely structured over the hips affair. Five rooms lined floor to ceiling in and truncated above the ankles. Paired with millions of fresh flowers - the opening room with vibrant red lipstick, minimalistic pointed toe blue delphiniums, one in yellow mimosas and heels, and a distinct lack of accessories, the focus another with crisp white orchids - a nod to Mr. was on the immaculately constructed outfits to Christian Dior's love of flowers. The striking take centre stage. Following up the fantastical settings provided the extravagance of predecessor perfect backdrop for a John Galliano is no mean “I like the radically of an collection punctuated by act; I like the juxtaposition of feat. The collection was a stunning colours - a full departure from the somewhat two worlds, of two ideas. In body gown conceived in hallucinogenic vision of that sense it came very much Galliano: instead establishing the brightest yellow, blush pinks, blues reminiscent of an elegant, sophisticated, and about juxtaposition of the the midnight sky, a polished aesthetic. The noted couture craft, but coming strapless fire engine red lack of American supermodel from very different moments show-stopper Elizabeth Karlie Kloss - a Dior fixture, in time.” Taylor would have wept who opened six seasons (five for. In his debut collection consecutive) under Galliano for arguably the most legendary Parisian couture was just a small indication of Dior's desire to house - and his first couture showing ever progress from the recent past. Simons’ approach designer Raf Simons delved into the Dior to fashion design is one founded on refinement archives, returning with a strong insight into the and modernity. In a post-show interview, Simons femininity, innovation, and ease the original encapsulated his ethos denoting what we can Christian Dior imbued into the house. On anticipate for Dior’s future: “I like the radically of an act; I like the juxtaposition of two worlds, of two couture’s place in our current society, he mused, ideas. In that sense it came very much about “I think it’s all about readapting the attitude and juxtaposition of the couture craft, but coming from very reshaping the psychology for a link to our world different moments in time.” In his layering of an right now, for how we live our lives today.

An iconic silhouette of worn over sleek tailored black pants, and in the Dior - the Bar jacket, cinched at the waist and geometric patterns of made-to-measure dresses exploding into a full skirt - was treated to a evoking quiet luxury, Raf Simons reshaped Dior modern update, with pockets set slightly aback into a house focused on craft and couturier, and metallic gold accents. Mr Simon's masterful appropriating classic silhouettes for construction shone through in his re-imagining of contemporary women. the classic "New Look" silhouette: a series of

MET GALA 2012 ‘IMPOSSIBLE CONVERSATIONS’ SCHIAPARELLI X PRADA Every year, Vogue Magazine hosts the biggest fashion party of the year, known as the Met Gala, at the famed the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Year after year it is no exception that exhibitions, put together by curators Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton, nonetheless sends out hundreds of thousands of fashion enthusiasts from around the world to the exhibits. This year, the Met chose to honor two great Italian designers--Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. By Lily Tan
PAGE 29 | ejing magazine
Schiaparelli and Prada were both Italian feminist designers that have made some of the greatest impacts on fashion in the twentieth century. Though of different time periods, the Schiaparelli and Prada pieces, taken from the Costume Institute, Prada Archive, and various private sources, perfectly juxtaposes modern and historic fashion. From „Hard Chic‟, „Naif Chic,‟ „Ugly Chic‟ the list goes on. As we walk through the exhibit, we see side by side comparisons of both designers, and different interpretations of modern fashion. Both are master curators of their time, in addition to have made big strides in the fashion industry and fashion history. Their influence that inspired this exhibition is honored at the start of the exhibit with 8 short films by "The Great Gatsby" director Baz Luhrmann, who is also Exhibition Creative Consultant, features actress Judy Davis playing the part of Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia starring as herself. The films include with both women sitting in an elaborate gothic setting, speaking over dinner and wine while discussing their views and takes on being a designer and a woman in general. How would we ever know what both women would discuss in being in the same room? Nearly impossible—a play on the title of the exhibit “Impossible Conversations”, which was inspired by a 1930‟s Vanity Fair article titled “Impossible Interviews”. Around 100 pieces and 40 accessories shown from both designers not only included original pieces of clothing from their collections, but also hats, shoes, accessories, and face masks/head treatments by Guido Palau that covered the faces of the mannequins throughout the exhibit. Of the accessories shown, end would be appalled to see Schiaparelli‟s shoe hat right next to Prada S/S 2012's red hot flame shoe. These indifferences seem like what it is that makes both designers so appealing. The comparisons are uncanny--not meaning that Miuccia directly copied Schiaparelli, but one can see how she takes and interprets fashion in a way Elsa did. How can Schiaparelli make art in her clothes,
collaborating with artist from Dali to Cocteau, to create her signature pieces, from lobsters to tears like when Prada collaborated with comic artist James Jean for a whimsical fairy collection? It seems if Miuccia would never run out of ideas, season after season, similarly to the three decade long career of Elsa. Though the times have changed and so has fashion, there are designers we remember, of the past and of the present. Those who have a Met exhibit dedicated to them are really honored for a lifetime achievement of their work in the world of fashion. Schiaparelli, often the forgotten competition of the better known, Coco Chanel, was Coco's biggest rival in 20th century fashion—maybe because the same year Elsa retires from fashion, 1954, Chanel comes back in. In this exhibit we see the best works from designers, including some of my favorites! Miuccia's S/S 2011 collects of the baroque monkeys are my absolute favorite Prada show ever. See my sketch of it alongside this article! It defined modern fashion and was a bold risk not only in fashion but in art. Prada is an innovator in the design world and nonetheless every season desig ns are knocked off into the counterfeit mass marketed world. Who but Miuccia could dream up a sassy array of fearless clothes, with the likes of Schiaparelli? This is definitely an exhibit to visit in the vast galleries of American art. Could it surpass the famed Alexander McQueen exhibition, Savage Beauty? Perhaps it may, but the attention given is far less appealing than those of the avant garde British designer. With a 3 month span, the exhibit ending on August 18 2012, hopefully many of you have taken the advantage of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Hold tight as we wait in anticipation for the next Met exhibit in 2013—can you guess who they are showing this time?

FAKES ARE NEVER IN FASHION BY DAVIDE
LEGALITY
Vending fake designer product is illegal. Counterfeit merchandise infringes on the copyright and trademarks of the designer and brand. By obtaining these products, you are supporting these illegal acts. APPEARANCE Most counterfeit products look messy.

In supporting organized crime, you aren’t just supporting and contributing to child labor, but correspondingly to their other criminalities including human trafficking, child abuse and prostitution.
DESIGNERS By procuring fake bags, you are afflicting the designers and the manufacturers. The time, effort and creativity put into producing a luxury items is extensive; from the initial sketches through the period it goes on the shelves. Additionally, if designers and brands constantly have to spend money in court protecting their designs, the cost of their bags will rise too.
ECONOMY In the sales of counterfeit product, we are damaging the American economy measured in $250 Billion yearly, this is money that leaves the economy and passes in into foreign countries. Additionally 750,000 jobs are lost around the U.S.
