If someone had told me around five years ago that there would be such a thing as Geek Fashion Shows – runway and all – I would have been skeptical. I’ve always loved geek fashion, but there traditionally hasn’t been a whole lot of variety for ladies – let alone an entire show dedicated to it. Fast forward to 2015, and we now see the Geek Fashion Show (produced by Douggary Grant) at tons of conventions, and the Her Universe Fashion Show has been held two years in a row at SDCC. And this past weekend at PAX Prime, I was invited to witness the very first BioWare Fashion Show. I was thrilled to attend, but I had no idea what to expect. Three designers worked on the majority of the new BioWare line: one with a geek background and two that come strictly from a fashion background.

Dragon Age geek fashion The Dragon Age pieces were the big stand-out to me. Cassandra Believer high-low dress N7 coat. Changes and a wicked new style – Lavender Fox. A lot has changed in the last few months, and I’ve had the opportunity to start fresh – between a breakup, moving, and starting a new job, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect, and rediscover things I had forgotten about myself.

Change is very rarely easy, but it can be a really wonderful and transformative thing. Even if you feel like you’re being dragged through a terrible, horrifying haunted forest along the way. At the end of the day, even though it might really suck, I’ve found there has been a lot of good that has come from being able to start fresh. After months of not wanting to do anything other then curl up with my cat and watch netflix, I’m finally feeling motivated to start sewing again, work on new and exciting projects, read all those books I never got around to reading…there’s so much to do and time is just rushing past! Along with all the chaos that has been going on, I’ve found that my style has been shifting more towards witchy and wraithlike looks.

Wasteland Weekend 2015: Outrageous post-apocalyptic festival inspired by Mad Max films [Photos] Thousands of costumed revellers, driving vehicles straight out of a Mad Max movie, gathered in the southern California desert for the Wasteland Weekend festival.

The annual four-day post-apocalyptic party imagines a future where civilisation as we know it has collapsed. An alternative compound springs up in the Mojave desert, and attendees have to survive without electricity and running water. Bands and DJs provide the soundtrack for the adults-only festival, which sees topless burlesque dancers, fire-breathers and stunt fighters perform in the Thunderdome.

Italian Fashion News: Ferretti's Aquatic Dreams for Spring 2013. Seemingly bioluminescent gowns, freshly netted from the watery underworld or skimmed from the shimmering surface of the evening sea, clung to the models walking Alberta Ferretti’s runway for Spring 2013.

Details of algae-like sequin and beading glittered lightly against the soft and subtle colors Ferretti is known for. In this case she chose deep midnight blues, muted turquoises, sandy neutrals, and shimmery blacks. Ferretti’s collection held solidly to the theme of delicate sea life without distraction or anomaly in any of the looks. Especially evocative of this watery world were both the wave-swept draping techniques and the organza details resting like opaque filmy seaweed against the skin.

The exceptionally crafted Italian lace tulle and luxury silk organza, historically the best in the world, served Ferretti beautifully for this 2013 collection. Parade of National Costumes. Ulyana Sergeenko. Ulyana Sergeenko is a rising fashion designer from Russia.

A sadhu in Kathmandu, Nepal. Naga sadhu in Pashupatinath temple, Nepal Sadhu in Pashupatinath Etymology[edit] The Sanskrit terms sādhu ("good man") and sādhvī ("good woman") refer to renouncers who have chosen to live a life apart from or on the edges of society to focus on their own spiritual practice.[3] The words come from the Sanskrit root sādh, which means "reach one's goal", "make straight", or "gain power over".[4] The same root is used in the word sādhana, which means "spiritual practice".

Sadhu rituals[edit] Jean Paul Gaultier - Designer Fashion Label. After working for Pierre Cardin and Jean Patou, Jean Paul Gaultier set out on his own to create a womenswear line.

The label’s gender-bending, deconstructed aesthetic, and risqué collaborations—like Madonna’s infamous cone-shaped bra for the 1990 Blonde Ambition tour—gave the designer his “enfant terrible” reputation. He’s also known as one of the industry’s master tailors, with a knack for tuxes, trenches, and leather, and a tendency to embrace equestrian, military, and royal tropes—all with a sense of fun. In addition to the clothes, Gaultier created a successful fragrance line packaged in his signature torso-shaped bottles.

His first couture collection didn’t come until 1997, but has been critically acclaimed since its beginnings. In 1999, Hermès bought 35 percent of the Jean Paul Gaultier company, which gave the brand capital to open up stores in East Asia. Designed By.
