Trends sweep in as an unstoppable storm, changing the entire glance of an individual. 2010 was with its own unique styles having side braid, two top knots, straight hair and so on. This hair-do revolutionize to a new look including more of messed up styles having braid top bun, half braided hair, double knot hair, birds nest bun, fringe bangs, pixie cut.

• DOUBLE KNOT HAIR

Carry forwarding the same from last year’s styles, double hair knot is just as effortless and a simpler version of braid hair best suited for spring summer 2011 styled by Orlando pita for the Michael kors catwalks.

• BIRDS NEST BUN

The hair style evolved from the top knot style. Its little flimsy, little messy but elegant. The birds nest top knot is just an oversized knot. Try it out! First apply a little mousse on your mid length and end of hair. Blow dry the mousse into the hair. Pull the hair tight and make a high pony tail. Divide the pony in several sections and tease each section to create volume, them comb it even. Rap the hair evenly around the pony tail and knot it up. Pin your hair with bob pins to hold it. Finally apply hair spray.

• HALF BRAID HAIR

The keys to styling the half up braided hairstyle is to create both volume and texture.

• If you have straight hair creates gentle waves around your hair. We need very loose waves.
• You should now have a head of lightly tangled, textured waves, now back-comb the hair but only a small amount – you can see from both the photos that this is a braided hairstyle that is more about texture then it is about volume. With the bottom half of your hair flowing free
• Begin by separating the top two sections Next, take the larger of the two top sections and create a French braid along the head at a diagonal angle (e.g. from the part-line on the right side of the head back towards the left ear).
• The braid should only reach about half way down the head, with the rest of the hair hanging loose. After you’ve braided your hair half way down, secure the end of the braid with several bobby pins, crossing them over to ensure they stay in place.

• PIXIE HAIRCUT

This is a very short hair style which one would like to adopt in case you are seeking a change. It flatters every single woman regardless her age, hair and face shape. It’s a fresh and youthful haircut that even though it looks rather boyish it’s sexy and feminine.

A pixie haircut is really low maintenance hairstyles. You just must use some serum for shiny hair and separate locks. If your hair is straight, is the styling that counts probably the most and finally makes the distinction. Have some hair mousse applied on the length along with the ends of your hair.

Revealing your face, pixie hairstyles is all about attitude as you have to be completely confident in your facial traits.

This summer it is “boho” chic. Last summer, it was preppy sailor simplicity. In the late 90’s it was the grunge look. Yellow is the new black. Jeans are the new business casual. And on. And on. Yes, I am writing of fashion trends. The latest look, style, and color floods the covers of magazines, the shelves of retailers from Saks to H & M, the bodies of celebrities and television characters and, undoubtedly, is able to get enough of us to buy into it (literally and figuratively) to validate the whole cycle. So, while most of us are easily able to grasp this continuously perpetuating cycle of saturating the public with the latest, greatest duds, questions remain: how does a trend start? Who makes this decision? Why does it work?

Well, to be perfectly honest, there is no definitive answer to the myth that is a fashion trend. But, while the exact formula is beyond the consumer, we can be sure that it takes the work of several different interdependent fashion industry professions to convince us that espadrilles, suspenders, and terry-cloth suits are worthy of our dollars and donning.

Fashion designers gather their inspiration, whether it comes from popular culture, music, politics, a celebrity muse, or something else entirely. Then, they design – usually a spring and fall collection. With a slew of inspired, perfectly crafted designs ready to hit the runway, they show their collections.

It could possibly be said that the trend begins at the fashion show. Fashion writers, buyers, photographers and celebrities line the runways, waiting to take in, criticize and praise the designer’s work.

Writers go back to their offices and verbally comment on the design they have seen. If a collection is deemed great, the editor may be persuaded to feature the clothing on the cover of the month’s issue. This is also influenced by fashion publicists – professionals who are paid to get the designer’s duds in front of larger audiences. Thus, we read about the latest fashion trend.

Photographers snap photos as the models parade down the runway and sell them to parties interested in the designer’s work. The photos show up in newspapers, industry magazines, fashion magazines and various other media outlets. Thus, we see the latest fashion trend.

Buyers, if impressed, order pieces that their clientele will be willing to pay hundreds or thousands to own. Other designers, those focused on mass production of more affordable versions of the latest trend, gather their inspiration here too. Thus, we can purchase the latest fashion trend.

So, as you can see, it is impossible to pinpoint exactly how a fashion becomes a trend. What you can know, with certainty, is that it took many professionals in the fashion industry to get you to the cash register with your bohemian-inspired peasant blouse.

In his new reality television show, “The Cut,” fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger describes the elements of his fame with an acronym:

Hilfiger explains that the key to his sustained success in the fashion industry has been his uncanny ability to fuse the four aforementioned elements in a tidy package that has mass appeal. Hilfiger launched his first collection in 1984, and netted profits of $11 million by 1986. But, of course, if you have visited any major department store in the past fifteen years, this is not hard to imagine. Hilfiger’s spirited but casually colorful update on the classic preppy look has catapulted him into a household name. He has made chambray shorts and cotton collared shirts chic again. His collections fill the racks and people buy.

Hilfiger is also famous for his ability to forge great relationships with huge musical acts – including Nelly, Puff Daddy, Destiny’s Child, the Black Eyed Peas, and No Doubt – to name a few! He has been praised for his ability to appeal to consumers through the use of celebrity endorsement. This methodology certainly fits into his “F.A.M.E.” approach of creating a lifestyle brand, which he explains to the sixteen eager contestants selected to be a part of “The Cut.”

In hopes of being chosen as the next great American designer, contestants will be put through the ringer. Hilfiger explains that each of the tasks, ranging from testing business instinct, to social skills, to sales and marketing, to design and creativity, are a part of the skill set necessary to achieve success in the competitive industry of fashion.
So, if you are reading this you are probably not a contestant on the show. That is okay! We think that you can gain valuable advice from Hilfiger anyway. In choosing the various tasks for the contestants, Hilfiger provides a guide for all design hopefuls. Fashion design is not just about design – at least not if you want to rule the fashion world! As you develop your design skills, it is also important to work on your ability to socialize, sell yourself and understand the numbers behind it all. Whether you seek “F.A.M.E” or a lucrative career in fashion, Hilfiger is a worthy model for success
