HISTORY OF RUNWAY MODELING

Many people don't know the history of runway modeling, although modeling is one of the most popular professions. The exact origin of modeling is largely unknown, but we do have evidence that suggests how and where runway modeling began.

Humble Beginnings

The runway is a decidedly Parisian idea, forming in 19th-century France. During this time in France, couture salons in Paris hosted events to showcase certain fashions. These shows were considered "fashion parades." An illustrated book from 1885 called "Art et la Mode" depicts four women modeling fashions. In the beginning of runway modeling, only a small and select group of people were invited to the show. In fact, photographers weren't invited to fashion shows until the late 1940s. The lack of photography evidence is one of the reasons why we have little information about the origins of runway modeling.

American Introduction

Runway modeling came to America during the early part of the 20th century. American department stores began hosting their own runway shows, modeled after their French counterparts. These shows were targeted toward women. As runway modeling became more popular, department stores all over the country hosted their own fashion shows. These shows featured a narrative of a specific theme, such as Parisian or Asian. Early runway shows were known for their flamboyance and storyline.

Fashion Designers Take Control 

Although runway shows began with retailers, fashion designers started producing their own shows in the early 1970s. For years, these shows were not only unorganized and sporadic, but they took place in unsafe environments, such as old lofts. Eventually, designers came together to create Fashion Week. Fashion Week occurs at various times of the year in the top fashion destinations in the world, including New York, Milan, Paris and London. During Fashion Week, major designers showcase their clothing to potential buyers, industry leaders and fashionistas.

Who is a fashion designer?

A fashion designer is the creative mind behind any item of clothing, be it a high fashion runway garment or your regular pair of jeans or tee shirt.  They conduct research, develop a concept and vision for the type of person they would like to dress, create a visual image of their concept through sketches (or drapery) and oversee the various design and production processes that bring their sketches or designs to life in the form of a three dimensional garment to fit their muse or intended market.

In other words... a  fashion designer is the "brain" behind any garment produced.  S/he sees the finished garment in his/her mind, documents it on paper in the form of a sketch (or drapes it on a mannequin) and brings together a strong team of skilled people to assist him in the construction of his idea into a "wearable" or better still "physical" garment.

...a designer visualizes

and turns it into...

"While a tailor is someone who just sews or joins the garment"...or something along those lines.  You know what the problem is?  Many of us assume that the term "tailor" refers to the people many of us love to yell at for wrecking our clothes almost every time.  In fact, more often than not, when one is called a tailor, we consider it a derogatory term.  But the truth is, the word "tailor" has really been abused in this environment.

Do you love to wear make-up? Well, here are some amazing facts that you might want to know

1. Most women keep the same make-up style for decades:

It is amazing what make-up could do. One could expect amazing and astounding results from a woman with a make-up kit and some artistic skills. This is because make-up could be used by women to alter their look in so many ways. What is interesting to know is that there are so many women out there who choose to go with the same make-up styles. Various studies show that most women are not really that adventurous when it comes to trying out various make-up styles.

2. Most men do not like women with heavy make-up:

Women rely on cosmetics so that they could appear more beautiful. Make-up could be used to hide skin blemishes as well as enhance one’s physical appearance. But every woman should know that heavy make-up could make them look worse. In fact, a lot of men agree that the most beautiful women are those who do not wear heavy make-up. There is beauty in simplicity. So if you want to impress some guys, make sure you only wear enough make-up not to turn them off.

 3. Make-up plays an important role in job interviews:

Make-up plays an important role in job interviews more than most women think. Of course, every woman applying for a job should minimize the use of make-up. Less make-up helps women look more professional. However, the lack of make-up could be of a disadvantage as well. A lot of employers as well as recruitment officers have admitted that how a woman wears make-up can have a positive effect on her being hired. So women should definitely think twice before going to an job interview without make-up.

4. Make-up should be removed before bed time:

Women should take note that it is very important to remove make-up before bed time. So many women get home from work very tired and that is why they quickly jump to their beds to get a good night’s sleep. But one should always take time to remove make-up before escaping into dreamland. Studies show that sleeping with cosmetics on could speed up the aging process. Women who sleep with their make-up often end up looking five years older than they are.
5. Make-up has an expiry date:

A lot of women do now know that make-up has an expiry date. That is why they should check out when their make-up products will expire. Once expired, they might not provide results as expected. Mascara products could last for up to six months while eye shadows could last for two years. Some, like liquid foundation, only lasts for a short while usually three to five months. If you still have some make-up products which have been stored inside your drawers for so long already, get rid of them.

6. Make-up products are not for everyone:

Yes, make-up can definitely help a lot in improving one’s look. However, there are certain products that might not just be fit for you. For example, there are so many women out there who have been trying various lipstick brands and colors only to realize in the end that their lips would look better with lip gloss. There are those who really focus on improving their eyebrows while they could look better if they simply focus on improving their eyelids.

7. Make-up does come in mineral form:

There are a lot of people who try to avoid make-up because it is usually made of various ingredients that could be sensitive to the skin. However, it should be noted that there is such a thing as mineral make-up. It is an alternative to traditional make-up and it is made of various natural minerals. The minerals are safe to use since they do not trigger allergic reactions. Mineral make-up is also not oily and that is why it is perfect for those who suffer from oily skin.
