Spare a thought for those of us who are getting married this summer and have already bought a dress…

Oscar de la Renta has made a Carrie Bradshaw wedding dress and we need it
Oscar de la Renta, who as any good SATC fan will know, designed some of the show’s dreamiest looks, has made a dress inspired by Carrie’s opening credits look.
It’s not for the faint hearted or the super traditional bride, but there is no question that this look brings Carie’s aesthetic bang up to date, with a 21st-century twist.

The dress was debuted New York Bridal Week by creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. They said that they had taken inspiration from SJP’s black and white Met gala dress.

We can see the homage to the Met Ball dress, but let’s be honest, with the full tulle skirt and tight semi-sheer top, the bridal gown is pretty much the sexier older sister to Carrie’s pink and white number.

We’re going to put it out there. We like the Oscar creation even more than the dress that Carrie actually got married in, which (as if you’ve forgotten) was a strapless Vivian Westwood dream.

A new initiative has been launched in Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah, which recycles wedding dresses by lending them for free to other brides.

The initiative is aimed at reducing the wedding costs. It’s also hoped the scheme will help to reinforce the notion of keeping it simple and away from extravagance.

The Bride’s Exhibition currently offers more than 600 wedding dresses and a selection of accessories, crowns and shoes that are also loaned at no cost to brides.

IVANKA Trump’s image-damaged clothes are being quietly sold under the name of another brand, the first daughter’s manufacturer said.

Florida-based Stein Mart, with 290 stores in the South and Midwest, has been selling Ivanka’s goods with the label Adrienne Vittadini Studio, Business of Fashion reports.
G-III, the company that makes and distributes Ivanka’s line, admitted to the switcheroo without telling Ivanka — and vowed to get her name back on the apparel.

“G-III accepts responsibility for resolving this issue, which occurred without the knowledge or consent of the Ivanka Trump organisation,” a G-III rep told the fashion website.
“G-III has already begun to take corrective actions, including facilitating the immediate removal of any mistakenly labelled merchandise from its customer. The Ivanka Trump brand continues to grow and remains very strong.”

Ivanka’s clothing has taken a beating since her dad was elected president, with big-name retailers like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Shoebuy.com dropping the first daughter’s apparel.
Such brand substitutions are within the law, as long as records of the switches are kept.
“US textile product labelling laws allow substitution of labels, so long as the entity making the substitution is identified on the new label and keeps records for three years,” said Susan Scafidi, a professor of fashion law at Fordham Law School and founder of the Fashion Law Institute.
“This is mostly for supply chain tracking reasons. All of the other required information on the label — fibre content, country of origin, etc. — must be maintained.”

Rose s Fashion House i Taos har en mysig, men trendiga känsla att det med en bekväm skinnsoffa under ljuskrona lampa, Audrey Hepburn affischer med skyltdockor klädda med nior i hattar och gnistrande smycken.

Rose Martinez is offering elegant clothes and shoes in her Rose’s Fashion House store in Taos.

Du kan bläddra bland rack och hyllor eller bara sitta och ha en bra chatt med ägaren, Rose Martinez.

Martinez säger att hon har alltid varit intresserad av kläder och design, men det var inte förrän ett år sedan att hon kunde föra henne drömprojekt, hennes egen ”hus av mode” till liv.

Hon har Inspirerande skyltar överallt, såsom ”Framgångsrika kvinnor fortfarande har sina fötter på marken, de har bara bättre skor.”

Och medan du kan hitta skor av många olika slag på Rose Fashion House, höga klackar är i majoritet.

”Vissa är riktigt bekväm,” Martinez sade assuringly. ”Låt dig inte skrämmas av höga klackar. När man vänjer sig dem, behöver du inte ens märker att du har dem på.”

Rose s Fashion House har en eklektisk inventering, främst på den eleganta sidan. Det finns kläder för speciella tillfällen, som balklänningar, samt arbets ensembler, blusar och kjolar.

Martinez fyra barn bor i Taos, Albuquerque, Las Vegas och Colorado Springs.

För Martinez, är det bästa att ha sitt eget företag den flexibilitet som hon har med sig.

”Jag kan markera en specialtillbehör eller fokus på hur det passar en klänning”, sade hon. ”Jag kan flytta objekt runt, leka med dem. … Framgången för min verksamhet är i mina händer, och det är en kraftfull sak.”

När det gäller den mest utmanande delen, medger hon att det har varit att främja butiken och förstå hur man nätverk.

Hon har nyss gått Las Comadres i handel och anser att det är en av de bästa affärsbeslut hon någonsin gjort.
