How do I look? Afrika Bambaataa, Musician, age 51
<p><strong>I'm as old as the moon and the stars, and as young as the trees and the lakes.</strong> My style comes from looking at what came before me, and from visiting a lot of places. I'm fanatical about movies: African, European, Viking, Roman. I got into witchcraft and magic from watching Bewitched and The Wizard of Oz, which shows in some of my outfits. I dress to reflect the whole spectrum of the universe.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/17ad16e/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/how-do-i-look-afrika-bambaataa-musician-age-51-870598.html&link=How do I look?

Martin Margiela: Fashion's invisible superstar
<p>In the early spring of this year, The New York Times's influential style biannual, T magazine, ran a feature extolling the Belgian designer Martin Margiela. "Even after 20 years in the business, Martin Margiela is still the most elusive figure in fashion," it read, "which might explain why designers feel so free to thumb through his archives for inspiration." In an unprecedented move, this brief and unusually direct text was illustrated by five catwalk outfits courtesy of Marc Jacobs, AF Vandevorst, Junya Watanabe, Herm&egrave;s and Prada, above which were printed images of the Margiela originals that had clearly, well, let's just say "inspired" their work.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/1755ed7/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/martin-margiela-fashions-invisible-superstar-868562.html&link=Martin Margiela: Fashion's invisible superstar" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/martin-margiela-fashions-invisible-superstar-868562.html&link=Martin Margiela: Fashion's invisible superstar" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13663627456/f/3803/c/266/s/24469207/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13663627456/f/3803/c/266/s/24469207/a2.img" border="0"/></a>

Dorian Leigh: 'Supermodel' of the 1940s
<p>An icon whose look and style defined the fashion world of the 1940s, Dorian Leigh is widely regarded as having been the first "supermodel". In 1946 she appeared on seven Vogue covers, and over the next six years was on more than 50 covers of such magazines as Life, Look and McCall's. In the early 1950s, she featured in a series of famous images for Revlon's "Fire and Ice" campaign promoting nail-polish and lipstick ("For you who love to flirt with fire; who dare to skate on thin ice"), ravishingly shot in a jewelled dress and red cape by Richard Avedon.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/1729c3e/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/dorian-leigh-supermodel-of-the-1940s-866904.html&link=Dorian Leigh: 'Supermodel' of the 1940s" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/dorian-leigh-supermodel-of-the-1940s-866904.html&link=Dorian Leigh: 'Supermodel' of the 1940s" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381311453/f/3803/c/266/s/24288318/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381311453/f/3803/c/266/s/24288318/a2.img" border="0"/></a>

Susannah Frankel: Ready To Wear
<p>For all the flak directed at the British for their impoverished sense of style, a hefty dose of Anglophilia is rarely a million miles away from the collective fashion consciousness. Here, then, we have Dolce &amp; Gabbana's witty and pretty take on that theme. Their younger D&amp;G line was nothing if not an unabashed homage to the wardrobe of Queen Elizabeth II, not dressed for affairs of state but wearing the kind of clothing she is best known for when walking her Corgis at Balmoral. And jolly nice she looks, too.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/171ccbb/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/susannah-frankel-ready-to-wear-866762.html&link=Susannah Frankel: Ready To Wear" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/susannah-frankel-ready-to-wear-866762.html&link=Susannah Frankel: Ready To Wear" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381285054/f/3803/c/266/s/24235195/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381285054/f/3803/c/266/s/24235195/a2.img" border="0"/></a>
It's in the jeans: Classic labels lose to celebrity brands
<p>They have hugged cowboys' bottoms since 1870. In the 1980s, Levi Strauss jeans became the must-have denims, when Nick Kamen shed his in a launderette for a TV advert. But now the company is looking threadbare, having recently suffered a 98 per cent drop in profits. Classic cowboy labels such as Wrangler and Lee are struggling to hold their own in a market that has become dominated by designer brands and "delebrity denim" carrying the names of celebrities such as Victoria Beckham.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/170662b/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/its-in-the-jeans-classic-labels-lose-to-celebrity-brands-866488.html&link=It's in the jeans: Classic labels lose to celebrity brands" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/its-in-the-jeans-classic-labels-lose-to-celebrity-brands-866488.html&link=It's in the jeans: Classic labels lose to celebrity brands" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381240060/f/3803/c/266/s/24143403/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381240060/f/3803/c/266/s/24143403/a2.img" border="0"/></a>

<p>Hemlines may rise during times of economic uncertainty, but this summer there is more fabric involved in swimwear than we've seen for a long time.

How do I look?: Ali Gabut Youngblood, Musician, age 25
<p><strong>I'm half black, half Philippino. I was born looking pretty unique.</strong> No one can ever tell what nationality I am. I play off that. I wear whatever makes me look thinner. It's hard to shop in the UK. I'll see something but it's always one size too small. In the States you get plus-sizes; there are a lot of happy chubby people there. I'm a UK size 16.

Susie Rushton: Beauty Queen
<p>It's a nation synonymous with sun, sangria and soccer champions. But cutting-edge beauty? Almodovar's movies might've done great things for Spanish arts, but the Technicolor eyeshadow of his female leads (not to mention the transvestites) never looked particularly sophisticated to foreign eyes. But it is this very nation, from where I've often brought home a tan but rarely so much as a mascara wand, that is fast gaining ground on the dominant French, Japanese and American brands in the billion-pound global beauty industry.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/16f0d0f/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/susie-rushton-beauty-queen-864544.html&link=Susie Rushton: Beauty Queen" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/susie-rushton-beauty-queen-864544.html&link=Susie Rushton: Beauty Queen" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381196184/f/3803/c/266/s/24055055/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13381196184/f/3803/c/266/s/24055055/a2.img" border="0"/></a>

Cleavage: how low do you go?
<p>There's nothing more disheartening than hearing someone complain that there aren't enough designs in the shops for "older people". The same whine was heard at Marks &amp; Spencer's AGM, when some old bat, trying to account for the slump in shares, declared that "The clothes are not suitable for our age group. The dresses are too low on top and they don't have sleeves. They just show too much cleavage and at our age we can't wear that sort of style." It seems that for M&amp;S shareholders, cleavage is, after a certain age, absolutely out.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3803/s/16d38ef/mf.gif ' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/cleavage-how-low-do-you-go-864961.html&link=Cleavage: how low do you go?" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/cleavage-how-low-do-you-go-864961.html&link=Cleavage: how low do you go?" target="_blank"><img src="http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13307394782/f/3803/c/266/s/23935215/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/13307394782/f/3803/c/266/s/23935215/a2.img" border="0"/></a>

How To Save Money On Clothing And Still Look Fashionable
By Amy
Spring trends change every year so that shoppers will have something new and exciting to wear every year. These trends range from tuxedos to disco to safari wear with only a common escapist thread linking the different spring trends of different countries.

Spring trends are more colorful and imaginative

The spring of 2008 heralds cheerful and bright colors which are a livelier alternative to the old gothic obsession of black wear. Those who are into will deck themselves in eye-popping colors like vermillion, verdant green, hibiscus red and cobalt blue, and they will become the center of attraction wherever they go.

This year, spring trends feature flower themes. On the catwalk, you will find that models are practically walking bouquets of roses, pansies and peonies. Designers have gone wild with inspiration with their display of vibrant pictures and blurred motifs used in their designs. And if you don't actually like large and graphic floral prints, you can always follow the flowery trend with summer dresses and silky scarves that feature mid-sized prints.

Another interesting spring trend is fairies and wood nymphs with imprinted designs of ethereal creatures, as well as details of foliage, feathers and flowers added to airy dresses. This trend translates an imaginary realm into a visible world of enchanting beauty.

Bring out the goddess in you with Greco-Roman wear

If you want something a little revealing, you can try out the latest transparent spring trend. With this trend, you will find women wearing designs imprinted on translucent textiles so that the body is revealed with both subtlety and taste. And to create a nude-to-neutral palette, you have sorbet hues and washed-out tones to accentuate this filmy fabric.

In a bid to bring something historic and interesting to the world, designers have introduced the Greco-Roman goddess dress

as the latest spring trend. Such a dress has intricate pleating with creative twists and folds of fabric that is used to create incarnations of toga-style goddess gowns, gladiator skirts, and believe it or not, harem pants too.

Why not go out in your underwear this spring?

The latest pajama has revealed lingerie-like pieces which create a niche between a dreamland and sensible wardrobe. This trend was created by fashioners who wish to make outerwear from women's underwear like naughty nighties, gossamer slips, silky robes, bras and panties. This spring trend certainly looks great on the catwalk, and you can make it look more interesting with boudoir details like boning, lace, bows and ribbons.

Metal is not only a thing of jewelries, but also in 2008's spring trends. In addition to the trendy silver, gold, bronze and copper sequin covered dresses of yesteryear, designers have come up with new pieces that feature high-tech plastic fabrics, foil-like lame and glossy satins.

Going global is the latest in trends

Boyfriend dressing is an interesting new spring trend of 2008. This trend offers gender bending designs in women's fashion, with strong emphasis on the male suit. Designers have designed tuxedo style suits, boyfriend blazers, tailored vests and smart trousers for the rebellious chicks. These also come with accessories like bow ties, cummerbunds and boutonnieres. If you want something softer, you can always try the bow tie blouse and tie-top dress.

And if you are into something global, try out the safari range of spring trends which include leopard prints, khaki, African field jackets, and chunky tribal jewelry. So try hopping into this spring trend and add an interesting safari suit with an animal print accessory to your summer wardrobe.

With so much to choose from for your spring wardrobe, you will surely find something that you truly desire.
