<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">The short and tight clothes, the chewing gum and the perpetual row with elders, sound familiar? Yes, I’m talking of teen rebellion to which most of us can relate. What I’m hinting at here is Elvis and Rock ‘n’ roll. I can’t help but talk about Elvis and Rock ‘n’ roll in everything I do! Though we didn’t prance around in drape jackets or brothel creepers but we do most often don oxfords and drainpipe trousers. </span><br />

Picture a typical dark haired, handsome young bloke in a Boston or quiff style in elegant tailor-made clothes. Now wouldn’t that be a sight! Probably that’s why I’m so obsessed with Johnny Iuzzini, not only because he makes phenomenal desserts but because he looks so much like Elvis.</span></span></div>

They dared to be different, whether it was their parents or society. They ushered new and diverse fashions and the rock ‘n’ roll culture. They weren’t faint-hearted to ‘Strut their stuff’ solo on the dance floor and they gave us the freedom to revel in this music.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am quite awestruck by reading about Joanne and Kevin Massey(read more <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1042702/Time-Warp-Wives-Meet-women-really-live-past.html">here</a>) who in fact eat, sleep, breathe and live in the 1950’s aura. The first thing that came to my mind when I thought of the 1950’s is Audrey Hepburn’s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Holiday">Roman Holiday</a> (which I also tried watching in Italian :P ), a Princess on a Vespa?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The 50’s was all about a woman who is not only contemporary but who also revels womanhood. What also comes to my mind is that the 50’s was the end of the straight, economical and masculine cut of the war-time clothing into soft and shapely women’s wear. It also signified the re-opening of Parisian Fashion houses and names like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Dior">Christian Dior</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crist%C3%B3bal_Balenciaga">Christobal Balenciaga</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_Chanel">Madame Coco Chanel</a> who re-entered the Haute Couture scenario; the emphasis was now on making a woman feel like a woman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My adulation for the “Little Black Dress” transcends its badass sex appeal, for it transports me to the era of an orphan girl who reinvented fashion, presenting to the world something so simple and effortless.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A luscious, lacquered “red” sole stood as a time-tested allegory of luxury.

</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yes, it is true; the baffling “red” soul quandary resulted in a green light favoring YSL to continue producing red-soled booties! Want my opinion? I think it sucks! For it makes me question the authenticity of the term exclusivity in the world of fashion. In this narcissistic world, replete with one designer trying to outdo the other, luxury seems to have definitely lost its true glory. However outrageous, Louboutin established his niche by proclaiming him to be the monarch of the “red” sole empire. Don’t get me wrong, I love YSL, it definitely reins as one of my favorite but seriously you guys, this move was definitely below the belt. For a red sole will signify always a Louboutin creation!</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It meant freedom from constraints,not just from society but also how fashion was looked upon.Madame Chanel was a force of change which liberated the Victorian woman and setting her free from the bondage of rib-crushing corsets and bustles into the redefined modern woman known as the “Flapper”.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I've been obsessing over the flappers for a while now and have always identified with their outlandish and rebellious attitude and fashion.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">[Madame Chanel would’ve been proud ;)]</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In fact we all can relate to some bits and pieces of this style. The horn rimmed glasses - that is so 20s! The ox-blood lipstick that completes the evening look for so many us and how can we ever sacrifice the bold eye make-up?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Although I could wear a “Robe de Style” dress and a pair of “Mary-Jane’s” this instant, it would take some credible dexterity to get me to don an Eton crop or a Shingle bob!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Like all fashions find their way back in time; I do sincerely anticipate the re-entry of the “Cloche hat”; now wouldn’t that be a statement!</span><br />

In a matter of a few weeks, we plan to park ourselves there and can't seem to wait for the frenzy to set in. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">“Fashions Fade, Style is Eternal” conjured the legendary Yves Saint Laurent. The truth that lies behind this quote is inexplicable! You’d think that fashion is predictable to a certain extent, a plethora of runway shows season after season, highlighting trends which in few months are bound to change. Every season brings with it a new trend or perhaps brings back to life an older one. With open arms we embraced the 70’s, making way for wide legged trousers, donned chic ballerina buns, sported wayfarers in rainbow colors. They say ‘Change is the only thing that is constant’ and to this fashion is no stranger. But the trend, whether new or old, we embrace it, celebrate it and for that period it become our soul mate. <s>(Except clogs, I hated them and still do).</s><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Amidst all of fashion's mood swings, lives our style. It sets you apart, liberating you. Dares you to experiment, to find your own voice. It is not confined solely to fashion. Style is synonymous with everything you do… your skill, knowledge, attitude…. It’s a peculiar touch that gives you your identity, It makes you YOU.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Fashion is no exception to this rule. It is heartbreaking though that “inventors” or should I say magicians, who transformed the way society dressed have long been forgotten. A handful, still remember Roger Vivier, the man behind sky high stilettoes, a discovery without which every woman’s wardrobe, today stands incomplete. Did you know, that our beloved blue jeans, were worn by factory workers during World War II. Today they are a fashion staple, donned by all of society. Coco Chanel, the goddess that created the ubiquitous LBD, a statement piece women unanimously identify with!
