JASON BONE?

No flesh, just bones. Fashion is ruled out here. I will make this short. This movie is about action and drama. Do my words look familiar? Once again, media are NOT available to download from the official website. I am speechless. No need to waste time and money to watch this >:-(

CAPTAIN AMERICA: Civil War, Messed Up...

VS

Law and order                                                         Righteousness

The sequel title says it all!!! Violent, messed up and in fighting...Crash...bang...booM!!!  This is a reflection of complicating and degrading social environment due to increasing population >:-( 

However, there is a plus side to this turmoil:-O Scarlett Witch's (ELIZABETH OLSEN) powerful shoulder padded coat costume emits energy and vibrancy while maintaining feminine strength. With the semi flared coat hemlines to the shins and waisted design, practicality is maintained for my favourite superhero in this movie. This proves that slimming effect CAN be used with bright COLOUR Though these scenes are brief, I believe only the fashion optimistic ones will notice.

The other invaluable 'power' that I picked up is at the scene when TONY STARK (Robert Downey Jr.) go to PETER PARKER's (TOM HOLLAND) home to invite him to his side of the team. He asked PETER, "What wakes you up every morning?"  In relating to this, in the same month, I came across 'Jane Goodall in Conversation' article on page 53, MAY 2016 Reader's Digest monthly magazine issue. She is asked, "How much does your PASSION for work have to do with aging well?" Her answer, "I just read a survey of people over 80, and they found overwhelming proof that those with passion stayed healthy and fit and driven. The others just succumbed because there was no reason not to. They weren't sick, just old. They succumbed to oldness L". My advise, DO NOT wait until you are 80, start NOW J Yea !!!

Though this movie has very small but high impact and life changing scenes, it is worth all the junk in between. So what wakes me up and my passion? I am positive that you know. Now, I will use this newly found optimistic super power on my fashionistas :-P Enjoy fashionsitas xoxo

STAR WARS: The Force Awakens but I m asleep...Zzz...

After watching all the Star Wars episodes, the plot for 'The Force Awakens' remains. Many scenes are predictable based on past episodes...What a spoiler  >:-( With the lack of creativity, the 'dark side' wins. 

The Light Saber has become so cheap that it is readily accessible and even be used by an ex-Storm Trooper! Another victory for the 'dark side'.

The costume for Princess Leia has backfired like the explosion of the Star Killer...Ka...Boom...!!! She looks shorter than short, larger than large and bulkier than bulky :-O I feel sad for her much anticipated return :-(

Apart from COLOUR, Rey's costume is good ;-) ! It has almost all of the winning elements of a good garment. 'V' ribbed and waisted are ideals that are elegant rough character. Yippe!!! ;-O I like this!!! I am awaken here :-)

In conclusion, Rey's Force is not enough to over weigh the 'Dark Side'. If you are not a Star Wars fan, leave this out. May I awaken in the next episode...Zzz...

Spectre-cular is DANIEL CRAIG

As Spectre's Mexico City's Premier coincided with 'Day of the Dead' festival, I too decided to follow this eerie suit. I rushed to publish this review to go live on Friday the 13th! Boo... :-Ooo
Happy 'Day of the Eerie' Fri the 13th!

After almost a decade, I finally like the concept of two gender 'blonds' in a James Bond poster. 

Growing up with one of my favourite movie heroes, one new word, 'Spectrecular!'. It may not be as dramatic as 'Skyfall' but it has lived up to my expectations J In terms of spy gadgets, I am sure DANIEL CRAIG's James Bond fans will know what to expect. Car chases are more humourous than exciting. This is definitely a new approach to James Bond films. 

Costumes now are very traditionally James Bond with much more colour to life too. Since DANIEL CRAIG's James Bond 'Casino Royale' debut in 2006, this franchise has broken many traditionsL. He is the first blond-Bond and featuring more dramatic than gadgetry. I hated all these breakaways...Grr >:-( Spectre also featured  MONICA BELLUCI with the role of Lucia Sciarra setting another feat as the oldest Bond girl. Unexpectedly, I have started to develop a 'crush' for DANIEL CRAIG's James Bond since 'Skyfall'. In 'Spectre' I can sincerely write that I like him now. This is despite another James Bond tradition broken with the absence of my favourite the casino scene. I am very sad ToT that 'Spectre' will be his last James Bond appearance, now that I like him.   

Opening scene, first time ever Mexican Bond girl, Stephanie Sigman with a very colourful dress matching 'Day of the Dead' mask. This is fashionably fabulous by breaking the tradition of colour and horror...Boo!

Bond girl, Dr. Madeline Swann, in a very typical dress. Feminine and bright really got the attention of other patrons. Look carefully and you will know what I mean.

 Who says horror cannot be associated vibrant cOLOURs? I like this festival already :-O

At this time in writing, with 'Skyfall' being the seventh-highest-grossing film, the highest-grossing film in the UK, the highest-grossing film in the Bond series, the highest-grossing film worldwide for both Sony Pictures and MGM, the second-highest-grossing film of 2012, winning several accolades, including two BAFTA Awards, two Academy Awards and for the FIRST time, two Grammys, DANIEL CRAIG deserves to be hailed the greatest James Bond to date. I am also proud to live this era when 'Spectre' having the Largest Film Stunt Explosion, may be more 'Spectrecular' than 'Skyfall'.  Thank you DANIEL CRAIG J for this revolutionary James Bond 007""

ANT-Man

Getting to know his allies. Want some sugar?

With his partner in war, Anthony!

Rather than weapons of mass destruction, I like Ant-Man's weapons. To those who are new to Ant-Man, like me, the respect and use of nature, should be made an example of. In this movie, ants. I quote,

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"，Mahatma Gandhi

Here they gooo...

The superhero unmasked.

For women who want a polished appearance, look to Hope van Dyne. She looks strong, much more capable than most male characters. However, feminism is maintained.

The question for most superhero movies, "Why is the bad one always UGLY?" :-O 

Uglier...

 and UGLIEST...! The Yellowjacket

Fashionably good ;-) The Ant-Man costume is very close to its comic form. There is still room for improvements. Not being a media professional, I still question superhero movie adaptations which are usually far from original comic book forms. For now, I am satisfied.

 A very good movie since The Green Lantern. This is a movie that instils optimism, second chances and determination. watching this boosted my spirits...Boost...

UNLIKE other superhero movies, this has lots of comedy to let audience lay back after some serious concentration. I like this approach too.

To date, this is my favourite 2015 movie ;-) A MUST watch and in the CINEMA!!!

U r TERMINATORED!

Let us NOT let the machines rise! 

Fashionably, it is monotonously rough and dark. A flat line______

For the second time, I am unable to download from official website. However this is fun http://apps.paramountpictures.com/movie/terminator/terminateyourselfie/us/app/poster-source 

The plot is weak. I think it is similar to 'Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines'. In addition, all types of terminator machines are featured here >:-(  This makes it an all-in-one edition. I reckon, if this is your first Terminator movie, you do not need to watch previous one to familiarise.

The part where consumers are waiting to be connected is once again an unheeded warning of the inevitable reality. This is the moral of the story.

Nevertheless, go and watch this movie for non-stop action!!! Bang...bang...bang!!!

Colour Effects

Orange - To energise and maintain a +ve life outlook, get it? J (From left to right) Let Rhihanna, Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Lawrence get you there!

 Red - Be bold and motivational like Giuliana Rancic (first from left), Rosamund Pike (fourth from left) and Dakota Johnson (fifth from left)

Pink - Feeling stressed? Sooth like Blake Lively and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Yellow - Do you want to lift your mood? JFeel more focused and decisive like Julianne Moore (first from left) and Claire Danes (third from left)

Colour affects all. If not, it will make a difference. Regardless of your belief, they are scientifically proven. As usual, too much of anything is bad. You have to balance. If you are a non-believer in colours, try donning them in a slow start. Try a bright belt, shoes or scarf. Increase gradually until you feel and observe in these three stages:

Stage 1 - Do you feel any positive difference? If, 'No', then you MUST proceed to the next stage.

Stage 2 - The moment you come into physical social contact, are you attracting any attention? I am sure you will.

Stage 3 - This is the determining stage. Do you receive comments on your colourful change? If compliments outnumber criticisms (Yup...yup...yup...), then it is proven that you have made a positive change in your surroundings. Inevitably, you have also made that on yourself too ;-)

Stay AWAY from these below:

Black - Black absorbs everything, good and bad energy. Without the ability to filter, it WILL affect your spirits. In the dark months, it will make your outdoor visibility lowest and most dangerous for you.

White - The opposite of black, this colour reflects ALL energy. In short, you will be nothing!

Gray - I am sure you DO NOT want your life to be dull and gray, correct?

In conclusion, I want my fashionistas to be the best and NOT like the rest!!!

Indigenous tribe accuses Isabel Marant of plagiarism

Vivian Hendriksz

| 

Monday, 22 June 2015

London - Isabel Marant may have found inspiration for her collections in numerous tribes from around the world, but now the French designer is accused of taking her sources of inspiration too literally as one indigenous community argues the motifs found on a blouse, dress and skirt in her Spring/Summer 2015 collection is a direct and blatant copy of their traditional dress.

The Mixe community, an indigenous tribe from Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, Oaxaca in Mexico are threatening to take legal action against the French designer after noticing the uncanny resemblance between certain items from Marant's Etolie line and their traditional dress. "Isabel Marant is committing a plagiarism because the Etoile spring/summer 2015 collection contains the graphical elements specific to the Tlahuitoltepec blouse, a design which has transcended borders, and is not a novel creation as is affirmed by the designer," said a representative of the community during a press conference held earlier this month. The community is now asking for reparation from the designer for damages and are set to take legal action as they view their traditional dress to be a symbol of their identity. 

Isabel Marant accused of "hijacking a cultural heritage for commercial benefit"

The designer stands accused of "hijacking a cultural heritage for commercial benefit," whilst putting "indigenous communities at risk, as well as the originality of the fashion industry," according to Santa Maria's Tlahuitoltepec mayor Erasmo Hernández González. Accusation first began flying earlier this year, in January when Oaxacan singer Susana Harp shared a photograph of Marant's Vicky blouse in question on Twitter next to a picture of the 600 year old design for the traditional Tlahuitoltepec blouse, which has been produced in the south of the country by the tribe for years. The image went viral and led to national debate concerning cultural influences and the fashion industry.

The dress version of the alleged plagiarized traditional costume is currently on sale for 120 pounds on Net-a-Porter, down from the original retail price of 200 pounds which is equal to 4,500 Mexican pesos. The original blouse from the Mixe community is said to cost roughly 300 pesos in Tlahuitoltepec. "The community also invited [Isabel Marant] to visit and to learn about the community and the artisan women creating the garment for so many generations," said Adriana Aguerrebere, from the NGO Impacto, which aims to reduce poverty and income inequality in South America. "The community also invited civil society and state, federal and even international authorities to work in the legitimisation of the collective heritage of indigenous peoples." Impacto will be working together with the Mixe community in search of more widespread protections for "the knowledge and the patrimony" of its indigenous people.

The case between Isabel Marant and the Mixe community has been further complicated after the Guardian contacted the designer's office and was told that another designer had also accused the designer of stealing their design. Fellow French fashion house Antik Batik has reportedly taken already "summoned" Isabel Marant as they believe they hold the copyright on the design. "Before the district court of Paris, Isabel Marant is fighting to set the record straight: she has presented submissions which expressly point out that these designs come from the village of Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec in the province of Oaxaca, in Mexico," read a statement from the fashion house.

"Moreover, Ms Isabel Marant, after tracing the true origin of these clothes, officially informed the court: 'For her part, Ms Isabel Marant does not claim to be the author of this tunic and these designs'." As of yet, is seems that the indigenous community is unaware of the claims from Antik Batik and Marant's statement regarding her designs.
