FASHION OF SUMMER 2 0 1 3 All ages, trends have changed. Trends are often the same but more modern. For decades we have seen a lot of trends in hairstyles, garments, even music. But clothes are the most sensitive to change because they have a lot of changes on a single year, depending on the season. Also fashion is interesting and mysterious because when something is in fashion automatically becomes more striking.

This summer the colors were the most important aspect of the collections. The way that the clothes were combined depends on the colors. This is how in this summer we saw a variety of colors. Pastel colors were the trend in the last spring, aspect that this summer adapted and changed to its own style. Pastel colors make people look sweeter and more delicate, and makes a good combination with dark colors. Besides the prints play a great role and they need a lot of combination of colors to look great (whether light or dark colors).
Prints were the most fabulous trend of the summer. Flowers, fruits, geometric drawings and ethnic style robbed the attention of people. Prints not only look great, they also help to hide those areas that you don’t like in your abdomen or if you have a big breast, they help you to hide it. It’s an interesting advantage!
In all summers the garment that we’ve always worn are the shorts. Shorts help you to look great and be comfortable. But this year they weren’t worn only for the beach. Also, you could wear them for a date or maybe for a walk in your street because in the collection the shorts came more elegant and you could combine with any tops or blouses. Besides, garments weren’t only shorts. The blouses also had an excellent collection that was called dresses blouses. They were one of the best collections in this summer because all girls wanted to buy them. This kind of blouses looks cool with any pants or accessories, but I must say again that the colors are important when you combine clothes.
Formal wear? Casual wear? To get a style of clothing, according to the occasion it’s not enough to combine garments. The texture of clothes is also important to look like you want to look, that is to say, if you have a date and you need to look elegant, silk is a good fabric to look formal .But also, this fabric needs a texture to look more beautiful in that case the pleat is a good combination. But if you only come out for a walk you can wear textures like brodery because it makes you look sweet and relaxed. The most important is that these textures were the trend in this summer.
The shoes have always played an important role in clothes. To get a beautiful combination and cool style you need to focus in your garment (even the shoes). This summer high-heels were important. Styles like stilettos and wedge heel looked amazing and they help you to look more elegant and tall. But canvas shoes were important in the collection too. They look wonderful, and In conclusion we saw a lot of new tendencies they’re comfortable to walk in a park or to in this summer that were so striking that they 5 do exercise, and never go out of fashion. even continued to be use now that we are in fall.
THE DENIED D A U G H T E R OF COLOMBIA
If you have spent your money on innumerable museum exhibitions without finding an artist able to move you, then learning about Debora Arango could be a good idea. This transgressive artist was born in Medellin in the beginning of last century (November 11, 1907). She is known as an expressionist artist. This means her paintings don’t follow the reality as it actually is but change it to emphasize in feelings and ideas. She was an aquarellist and always wanted to make murals. Nevertheless se never had the opportunity. In the 40’s the population was separated in two, the ones who followed the conservative and the liberal party, each one with radical statements of moral. As a result of it, Debora was required to face an amount of critiques about a political fight she didn’t ask to have. It is easy to suppose that Arango’s biggest enemy was the conservative party, which made rude oppositions to her work several times, claiming it didn’t follow the classic model and was near to leftist ideas. Her studies began in 30’s with Eladio Velez as her teacher. While her classes were passing she notices that creating and not only reproducing, like Eladio was teaching her, was what she really wanted to do. So, she met Pedro Nel Gomez who opened her eyes to the world she would explore later. Although, Pedro Nel was the responsible of giving her tools for being what she became into, there was a time when him, as everyone else, turned his back on her. In that moment she knew her way was alone and she will never need of anyone else. Her independence, intelligence and talent bore its fruits. 6
That time was full of unrest about political ideologies and scenes of crude violence. Debora Arango was living it in her own skin and decided to paint her position in the conflict, avoiding the social opinion. During that decade, she made four important pieces: First “La massacre del 9 de Abril”: as its name suggests, it represents the bloody chaos caused by Gaitan’s killing; second she made “La salida de Laureano” which shows how the presidential post was taken by Gustavo Rojas Pinilla by a coup-d’etat and Arango’s hope in the new government. Nevertheless with the passing of the years, she and the population discovered it wouldn’t be like they wanted. Then, she painted “Huelga de los estudiantes” that expresses her feelings about the Rojas’s dictatorship. And the most representative work of this period is “La republica” whose topic summarized the political corruption.
She wasn’t only controversial because of the political topics she alluded to, but also an extensive work about women’s condition. In the Colombian oligarchy, women matters had severe parameters which no one was allowed to get out of that’s why Debora Arango’s paintings, whose models were prostitutes, combative girls or just female nudes without traditional features like avoiding pubic hair orposing delicately, were accused of immorality. On the other hand, different to projects by other women artist, Debora Arango re-defined the concepts of beauty and ugliness. The colors, body forms and animals used to personify her characters, gave her paintings a gross appearance such as “Colegiala” whose model was a teenage with her school uniform, however, her way of looking and how she is wearing her nails (bright red) shows the viewer the hypocrisy of the “good girls” in the high society.
Finally, Debora Arango died at 98 years old, without not having had children and ever being married. She recovered her reputation after years of having been denigrated in her own country with innumerable awards and exposition she could do, in last years of her life. As result of the artistic repression she received, no one has studied her painting deeply and her name isn’t recognized by average Colombian population. In my opinion, her life is fascinating because her art expresses what no one wanted to honestly express and give us, as the new generation, a little view of our history. Like Debora Arango, our work, talent, voice or even our way of thinking must be the strongest tool to change the ugliest parts of this reality. It isn’t necessary to scream as loud as we can but just being conscious would change everything.
Although, she never said she was a feminist in every sense of the word but works like “La lucha del destino” or “Amargada” suggest a woman chained by the role she has to play and the different feelings it produces in her. It proposes her beliefs about female liberation. Furthermore, other paintings like “Adolecencia” are focused in women personal development while they handle the duality between what they want to be and what everyone wants to make of them.

Graffiti has become a social tool and an entire claim. It’s a cultural communication present an actively in the metropolitan environment it’s an element to get an idea, an image, and a world view. Now there are many famous graffiti artist and one of the most important is Banksy. Banksy is a pseudonymus of an anonymous critical graffiti artist but there is some rumours and hypotheses as to Banksy’s identity. Names often suggested are ‘’Robert Banks’’ and ‘’Robin Gunningham’’. One of the very few people to interview him was Simon Hattestone, and he describes him as ‘’ a cross of Jimmy Nailand and british rapper Mike Skinner’’. Anyway his works are very famous around the world, he’s wanted in several countries for doing illegal graffiti.
Either way there’s a dispute in the street art world about who’s the best artist but the most important things is that graffiti exist to show opinions and make the difference.
Banksy has a lot of famous works. His first street art work was in 1982 in tours France. One of his most important art work was made in London Zoo in 2005, he climbed into the penguin enclosure and painted ‘’ we’re bored of fish’’ and then at Bristol Zoo he left the message ‘’I want out this place is too cold keeper, smells. Boring! Boring! Boring!’’ in the elephant enclosure, with these messages he became popular and he achieved a big impact with his art work. Currently people have a lot of critics about decisions and actions that the government does. Banksy disputes this kind of things in his works using symbols like children, rats, policeman, apes and soldiers, with the intention of transmit his opinion in anti-war, anti-capitalism and anti-establishment messages in a controversial mode.
Banksy continues making critics but now he works for organizations like Green Peace and he was also credited with the opening couch gag for the 2010 ‘’The Simpsons’’ episode ‘’Money Bart’’.

Since its origins, Mercedes Benz has maintained a reputation for its quality and durability; they focus in better their cars all days fixing the problems when the cars have them.
The first cars of Mercedes Benz manufactured with the name Daimler Benz. The name Mercedes Benz was born because Daimler had problems with the petrol engine’s patent. If they improved their model, other companies could take this evolution and pay little money to know about of Daimler’s advances. If Daimler changed their name to “Mercedes” in their car, they could edit the patent and put a privacy policy.
In these times, Mercedes Benz has a good reputation as a manufacturer of cars either for style, speed and technology. They put all their performance to create a style of life, not a car. They work all time to be the best to manufacture luxuries cars.

People disregard how important it is and how easy it is to have a good life. Modern times have wanted to keep us with a superficial thinking about “the perfect measurements” and forget to ask ourselves if that makes us happy or not, if it’s what we want or we need. The most important is being careful with yourself keeping a good alimentation and a good lifestyle, changing little things in your daily life.
HEALTHY H A B I T S Apparently most of people don’t know the basic things we should take into account but they are simple and easy to do. We can start perfecting the routine in some aspects, for example, starting the day with a cold shower helps to activate the organism defenses and drinking a cup of water before each dinner gives a fullness sensation. It is convenient to do the best effort regarding food. That’s more difficult but the results will also be the most noticeable. 1 4
Eating habits can be the hardest aspect to correct but it can be really comfortable when the idea is clear. Healthy food has a lot of advantages and good benefits for your body and benefits to look great. About the benefits for your body, there are foods rich in fiber like cereals, strawberries, pears and plums. They work to benefit your body. The foods that make look you nice are apples, cheese, tomato or cucumber. Those will make your nails, your hair and your skin look amazing. We do “innocent things” like eating canned food or ham. These kinds of things are processed and they have few vitamins instead. They have many synthetics that work to increase the possibilities of wining more weight but we can replace these foods for natural foods like meats without much process for example chicken or pork. Drinks like coca-cola have a lot of sugar and chemicals that damage our body. This damage is not visible in a short time. The time depends about how often you drink these drinks.
It is convenient to include sports in our routine. It should be a priority and if you aren’t a good sportsman, yoga, aerobics or dance are nice options. Sport is a perfect complement to this lifestyle. It is really important to have physical activity because our body needs to strengthen joints. The recommendation is walking minimum 30 minutes a day.
The idea is get vitamins with natural products, the kind of food free of synthetics, knowing eat normally for stay in shape you don’t need be a kind of crazy exigent with your alimentation, a normal person can eat all type of food, there are a lot of food with nutrients really important, the vegetables and fruits aren’t the only with vitamins good for the body, that type of food are meats, eggs, potatoes and flours in general, those food also have nutrients and the things good for have a good shape.

The movie showed us what white lies don’t exist

T
homas Vinterberg introduces the viewer in a terrifying social drama, on the one hand, showing the intolerance of human beings, their ability to judge from simple rumors and on the other, how far a lie can get until completely damaging the entire life of a person removing him from the society.
Luke (Mads Mikkelsen), a 40 years old man, who has just overcome a divorce, is a teacher loved by all his students of the kinder garden. He is falsely accused by a little girl, Klara (Annika Wedderkopp), who is also the daughter of his best friend Theo (Thomas Bo Larsen).
The Hunt had more than six nominations in different festivals. Despite being so good, it just got two awards. This movie received: The best screenplay in the European Film Awards and the best lead actor in Cannes International Film Festival, that was given to Mads Mikkelsen remembered for his great performance in Casino Royale and his recent appearance in the Hannibal series. Approaching Christmas, Klara wrongly accuses Luke of showing his genitals to her. Actually, the thing that she saw was a picture of an erect penis, that her older brother had shown her. She confuses the event to include Luke and makes unclear comments to the kinder garden’s director (Susse Wold), saying that “his penis was pointed to the sky”. It’s with these words, that the whole community begins the hunt - alluding to the title against Luke.
This film presents us a problem: The double standards of the community. In the first place the psychologist with direct questions misinterprets the silence of the Little Klara, making it look like affirmations. Continuing with the community, which suddenly decides to arbitrarily expel an innocent person and this is when we question the ethics and morality of this one. And finally the kinder garden director, who creates a social alarm from the phrase “children never lie”, creating and aggressive reaction from parents. All this cold drama, makes The Hunt, stressful, oppressive and hard to see, but, fascinating from the beginning to the end. This movie captures the viewer and shows them a plot full of emotion, like no other one did.
