Japanese Couture

This has absolutely nothing to do with being a curvy diva! At least, not in body size!  However, as a fashionably conscious curvy diva I do love great style!  Throw in a little dramatic effect and what's not to love?! What am I going on about you might be wondering? Well, I was doing one of my favorite things, perusing the Intraweb and came across Zimbio.com.  They featured Japan Couture 2012 Singapore.

The fashion designs featured were elegant and dramatic. I could see these on anyone! Imagine the dress below in a shorter version - can't you imagine yourself rocking that design?

With each design worn, the models hair made its own fashion statement:

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas.

Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
