Scrunchies, with their soft and elastic fabric, provide a gentler hold. The larger surface area distributes the pressure more evenly, reducing the risk o

What is the Future of Virtual Fashion

  Virtual fashion will be more realistic Over time, virtual fashion events are likely to become more technologically demanding and immersive. The future of fashion may have 3D avatar models (digital versions of real models) wearing digitally created clothes. Helsinki Fashion Week, which has long used digital fashion shows, is the first edition to try such technology. They will take advantage of 3D fashion shows, networking opportunities and interactive live broadcasts. The show will use avatars to display digitized clothing. According to the designer, 3D prototyping of clothes is a more sustainable alternative as it prevents mass production of clothes. Only after the client approves of the prototype is the garment made from scratch. These technologies are also changing the way fashion designers work. With VR, designers can create virtual prototypes of their designs and see how they will look on models before they are even created in real life. This helps to speed up the design process

They’re warm, versatile, and easy to pair with a wide range of outfits. During those cold, wintery days, socks that fit over the knees would seem like the best accessory to wear with dresses and skirts. Knee-high socks have been around for ages. In fact, they’ve been traced all the way back to the Roman era, as both men and women wore long socks to stay warm. As fashion evolved overtime, women began wearing over the knee stockings as undergarments under floor-length skirts. By the 1920’s, women wore shorter skirts and showed more of their legs with longer socks. Today women’s over the knee socks are just as popular as over the knee boots.

Trend Alert: Corsets (2022)

  Photo by  Lydia Stojanov  on  Unsplash Corsets are among the hottest fashion trends in 2022 and 2023. From traditional, elastic corsets to bustier tops and bodysuits, this new style movement is all about feeling confident and empowered. The corset dates back to the early 1900s. Women wore these bodices in the Edwardian and Victorian era. The narrow waisted look in fashion later transitioned to the slim silhouette by the 1920s. Manufacturers began to create the elasticized corsets as supportive undergarments for women. By the 1930s, there was a greater interest in small silhouettes with an emphasis on the hourglass figure. By the 1950s and 1960s, most women were wearing foundation garments underneath their clothes. In the 1970s and 1980s, corsets became popular as an outerwear trend. They were designed to flatten the belly and raise the bosom. Corsets made a comeback in the 2000s with a more satin and ribboned look. By 2015, the corselette began to appear on the spring/summer runway
