HELLO KITTY for FASHION WEAR

Hi guys, tentunya kalian udah tau kucing yang super duper cute alias HELLO KITTY kan? hampir semua wanita di bumi termasuk gue suka banget sama Hello Kitty! kucing asal Jepang ini emang bener-bener menggemaskan! Well, yang pingin gue bahas disini adalah kenapa ya harga-harga baju-baju yang ada sablonan Hello Kitty nya mahal banget. contohnya kaos Hello Kitty yang di jual oleh brand toko USA terkenal F*REVER 21. aduh terus terang aja gue suka banget ama kaos-kaos Hello Kitty yang di produksi ama brand tersebut. tetapi kenapa ya mahal banget rasanya untuk sebuah kaos dengan sablonan dengan harga segitu. ada beberapa faktor kemungkinan yang membuat harga jual baju tersebut tinggi, seperti membeli lisensi dari Jepang Sanrio tersebut yang relatif tidak murah atau mungkin bahan kaos dan sablonan yang di pakai itu berkualitas... tapi, bener deh bagus & lucu banget design nya. berikut nih gue tampilin salah satu baju yang di produksi brand kesukaan gw tersebut! Lovely XOXO, Felice the Barbie BLONDE.

Nude Color for Fashion Wear!

FROM NEW YORK - When you hear the word "nude," what do you picture?

In fashion, it's a common description of the shade a little darker than champagne, lighter than sand and perhaps with a hint of blush or peach.

But when Michelle Obama wore, in the words of designer Naeem Khan, a "sterling-silver sequin, abstract floral, nude strapless gown" to a state dinner at the White House – and it was reported as such – that sparked questions about the definition of nude and its relation, if any, to the wearer's skin color.

The Associated Press called Mrs. Obama's dress color "flesh" and got immediate retorts: "Whose flesh?" one newspaper editor asked. "Not hers." The description was revised to "champagne."

"We talk of nude now, and there is no one color. It's politically incorrect," says Gale Epstein, creative director and co-founder of undergarment brand Hanky Panky. "There is a wide range for skin-tone colors. Human skin tones are a whole color palette unto themselves."

Epstein says she realized years ago that the brand would need a full range of skin-tone shades. The middle ground of Hanky Panky's dozen or so neutrals is probably taupe, which falls somewhere between the very light chai, which is also the best seller, and the much darker espresso.

Designer Pamella Roland, best known for her eveningwear, also treats nude as a broad color category. "Nudes are a group of elegant shades, but there are a lot of specific shades," she says. "I can't describe a single specific color for nude."

That champagne-sand hue, though, is usually what the word is used to describe in fashion shows, stores and the pages of fashion magazines. A quick search for "nude" in the online color finder for Pantone, the company that largely sets color-formula standards for fashion and home-goods manufacturing, turns up a light beige.

It's a popular color in decorating, says Anthony Noberini, design director for Iconix's home brands, including Waverly, but, logically, the names are linked back to where the shade is being used. In the kitchen, for example, the neutrals are oatmeal or flax. When it comes to the increasingly popular coffee shades, Noberini says he'll hear directly from consumers if they think his latte is too light or dark roast too dark.
