Fashion is a funny thing. Many people strive to be as fashionable as possible and they only wear the hottest new designers and that season's "in" color. The point of fashion is to stand out and make yourself look unique and original. However, when everyone sees that runway show and then shows up at the city's hottest night clubs in the signature outfit of a particular line, the worst situation happens. Everyone ends up looking the same! As hard as it is to believe, every piece of clothing, whether made by a top designer or a no-name company, is influenced by that season's latest fashion trends. It is boring to look like everyone else, however. It is much more exciting to put together your own outfits and create a statement of your own.
You might be wondering how you can be original if every piece of clothing that is manufactured has somehow been influenced by fashion trends. One option is to make your own clothing! Many people enjoy working with patterns and a sewing machine. It can be quite fun especially because you can experiment with different types of fabric and cuts. When you are ready to model one of your latest dresses, throw on a pair of oversized sunglasses and your design will be an instant hit.
If you are not someone who is skilled with a thread and needle or you simply do not have time to spend on making your own clothing, then you just need to get creative with the items that are out there. Layering and mixing and matching are just two of the many ways you can spice up your everyday look. Since you are already familiar with the types of outfits that are popular already, you can try changing them up by using different accent pieces, such as a bold necklace or eye-catching belt.
You should also try shopping at boutiques or resale stores. You never know what great pieces of clothing you can find and, most of the time, you can alter these pieces very easily. Since the price is never too high, you have no qualms about altering it to make it your own! Every piece you come up with will always look great with oversized sunglasses. This extra accessory just makes your unique designs stand out more and you will establish yourself as a trendsetter in no time!

Armani Fashion - Watches to Watch
Armani fashion may mean Giorgio Armani or Emporio Armani. As part of its marketing strategy, this Italian based company, established in 1975, decided to widen its business exposure.
The result was the creation of different categories to specialize in marketing a variety of fashion accessories. For example, their fashion watches are sold under the Emporio Armani brand. It is now one of the most popular brands in the world.
The "Emporio" brand was put up purposely to attract the market of young professionals. The company has such clear vision of how they should create products for the different needs of the different social groups. This has led to the availability of products whose prices are lower compared to the main range.
Empire watches, for example, have a kind of personal touch. This means that wearers of these watches reveal something about themselves in the product, be it through art design, color or other features.
They have built such a good public image that its product gives consumers a sense of well-being, status and importance.
Though there are different product categories, there is one unifying force that makes the brand a status symbol. This is what the company has tried to maintain. There is no doubt that they have succeeded because of the present respect they enjoy from their consumers.
By holding on to its high standards of quality, they are able to command admiration among the public. Needless to say, those who wear their fashion watches believe that a certain price has to be paid if one goes for quality. With each timepiece delivers the company's vision to give each of its customers a sense of pride.

The Difference Between Clothes and Fashion
As a personal stylist I spend many hours reviewing wardrobes. Given the fact that we only wear a shocking 20% of what we buy, frankly most of my clients waste money. The buzz of buying translates into the unworn, there is nothing remotely glamorous about this. I have improved since I learned the difference between "clothes" and "fashion" and now wear most of my wardrobe until it wears out.
"Fashion" is last season's sleeveless jacket. Hugely expensive, but did you ever see anyone wearing this?? This is a non garment too cold to be a jacket, too edgy to be worn often by most in public. "Fashion" is also the here today, gone tomorrow looks that reinvigorate your wardrobe. Shoes are a fantastic "fashion" statement and so are bags. Fashion should be fun!
We all need regular "fashion" hits but we should not pay too much for them. Remember the 80:20 rule, and do not pay over the odds for something you will wear only for a season or not at all. Buy the diffusion ranges or the better high street brands and look to wear for 2 seasons only.
Sometimes we are all hit with a "I will die if I don't have that" and these instincts should be followed for the sheer fun occasionally but if you let them dominate your wardrobe you will have nothing to wear.
"Clothes" are what you actually wear 90% of the time so spend money on them, buy the best you can afford and look to keep them. A great beautiful coat in your style and colours will last 10 years so buy a more expensive one. The "fashionable" coat will last 4 months so don't pay too much have fun with it buy a great colour and look to replace it.
"Clothes" are your signature style. Last summer when smocks were in most of my clients bought them, these are now part of the vast unworn in your wardrobe, along with the sleeveless jacket etc. "Clothes" should be items that you love deeply that you will wear for ever. Jackets, jewellery, coats, cashmere should not be dull but beautiful in rich colours. Fit is everything, buy for how you are now, not I might lose some weight or I am fat so I will buy a bigger size this does not work. Buy beautifully cut garments that flatter whatever shape or size you are.
If grey is in and it does not suit you don't buy it. In short, learn what suits your body, learn what style you are and buy clothes that fit you. Baggy clothes generally don't flatter and make you look fatter than you are. Go spend your money on fantastic must-have shoes instead or a great piece of jewellery and when things are in the shops that you love, that make your heart sing, that really really suit you, buy them. These will form a great wardrobe for many seasons to come. Aim to be beautiful and fabulous and you will be!
