MyBeautifulDressing today announced the launch of a new way of buying designer clothing online.

The first e-commerce website to offer this technology, MyBD enables you to watch a fashion show just for you, giving you the possibility of experiencing something truly unique and immersive, browsing around the fashion show (you can focus on a particular model, have them re-show the clothes on the catwalk when you want, and place orders without having to wait for the official unveiling of the clothes in stores seven months later).
For this launch, MyBeautifulDressing is working with JC de Castelbajac and broadcast the Foxy Lady collection fashion show live on its website on 5 March – a collection available for pre-orders the following day on the website.

i.p.d. – International Pro Designs – known as a legendary surfboard brand/manufacturer based on Huntington Beach, California, has launched a new apparel business with its high end men’s clothing for adult surfers focused primarily on Japanese market.
i.p.d. was founded in 1981 by Bob Hurley (currently at Hurley International) as a small custom surfboard maker and eventually taken over by Eisaku Murata, one of Bob’s trusted surfboard shaper, when Hurley explored a new venture with a fashion business.
In 2012, i.p.d. announced stepping into an apparel field while continuously providing quality surfboards. i.p.d. begins distribution toward Japan where its fashion market is the second largest in the world. The first line up consists of 2 core designs – high quality dress and casual white shirts for adult surf lovers.
Solo Ishijima, Apparel Business Director, states that “We don’t chase trends that go away quick. Speeds often hamper creative ideas. Let’s have fun and focus on quality and details that will be loved for ages. That is our philosophy. i.p.d. will always be proactive with regard to challenging and asserting ourselves. We provide quality after-surf life and detailed genuine fashion for adult surfers from Huntington Beach, California.”
One of the biggest trends that was spotted on the catwalks throughout the various Autumn/Winter ’12 shows was structured layering, and this is more than evident in the new season Winter Wonders collection from French designer Roland Mouret.
The Barnicles dress is a key look for the AW12 season, with its layered look giving the illusion of a two piece blouse and skirt set. The soft, fitted crepe top with long raglan sleeves contrasts with the heavier peplum of the A-line apron skirt that accentuates the waist, and the dress is drawn together with an exposed panel leading down the back.
Meanwhile, the Markham coat is sure to become a staple in any winter wardrobe this season. This double breasted coat is tailored using a grape/dark purple stretch felt, with a vent pleat formed at the back that brings a modern approach to this classic winter coat.
One of the highlights of the Roland Mouret AW12 show was this Drummle dress in a traditional looking Prince of Wale check. This layered long-sleeved dress features an asymmetrical neckline and a fitted inner layer underneath the skirt, with a tie at the back and the exposed zip reaching halfway down the dress that has become something of a signature in Roland Mouret pieces.
These are just some of the fantastic pieces from the latest collections that are currently available from Roland Mouret, and there is no better time to invest in the best items from the AW ’12 collections, as Roland Mouret are now offering free shipping on all orders made via their website throughout December.
Born in Lourdes in 1962, Roland trained at a fashion college in Paris but left after just three months to work as creative director at French magazine Gai Pied Hebdo in the 1980s. Having founded his own design group with Andre and Sharai Meyers in 2000, Roland left the group in 2005 and took a two-year hiatus from the fashion world, but now he is back in the forefront of the fashion industry, with the help of his new financial backer Simon Fuller.
His unconventional approach to fashion design, preferring to shape his fabrics directly onto the models rather than working from sketches, has seen Roland Mouret establish a reputation as one of the modern masters of structure and aesthetics. The now famousGalaxy dress, a firm favourite of Victoria Beckham and other A List celebrities, was widely proclaimed amongst fashion critics as the Dress of the Season in 2005.
To view the complete range of Winter Wonders that are now available from Roland Mouret, as well as getting a preview of the upcoming collections for the Spring/Summer ’13 season, visit the Roland Mouret website at http://www.rolandmouret.com/.

Chris Dewbury, Sales Director at Hunter explains: “Hunter’s Outerwear collection is a natural extension of the footwear brand. Over the years our brand has become synonymous with style and great British manufacturing quality, and so, we decided to evolve our existing outerwear range to give our female customers a little bit of extra comfort, warmth and a bit of Hunter’s signature style this season. ”
Hunter’s Women’s Outerwear collection is comprised of three key pieces, each of which are also available in three different colours and sizes, and designed to fit just right with an existing winter wardrobe. The collection includes:
The ¾ Quilted Down Parka: Designed to help keep women warm and stylish this winter the Hunter ¾ length quilted down parka has roomy pockets and super-soft quilting will keep the wearer snug, while the sleek silhouette and luxe detailing ensure that there won’t be any sacrifice on chic and effortless Hunter style. Wear with a cashmere polo neck, skinny jeans and a pair of our classic boots for an effortlessly cool winter look.
The Short Quilted Down Sports Jacket: Hunter believe that no winter wardrobe is complete without a chic down coat, and the updated style of the Short Quilted Down Sports Jacketis the perfect investment for the cold winter months.

Designed to keep children’s feet dry, Hunter Boots’ new kids collection is perfect for school trips, rainy mornings and weekends spent in the great outdoors this Autumn. The new Autumn/Winter collection features brand new styles designed to be fun and useful, such as Hunter’s first glow-in-the-dark boot and a roll-up kids welly boot.
With the nights drawing in, Hunter are proud to announce the launch of their new Kids collection for Autumn/Winter 2012. Featuring an amazing selection of colours, designs, features and accessories, Hunter Boot have created a collection that will keep kids and their parents happy.
Chris Dewbury, Sales Director at Hunter explains: “The team at Hunter are particularly happy with our latest kids collection because it offers so much choice for all the family, from boots, to socks, to bags. We’re especially pleased with our Original Kids’ Glow Bootwhich glows green in the dark and is fitted with light reflective strips and a reflective logo, making it perfect for after dark activities, such as Halloween and Bonfire Night.”
As well as glowing green boots, Hunter’s latest kids collection also offers a number of handy accessories that are great for kids and their parents, such as a mini version of the Classic Boot Bag, the Kids’ Rucksack Boot Bag. The bag, which is available in two vibrant colours, fuschia and blue, is designed to be useful as well as stylish. Featuring adjustable shoulder straps, a reinforced back panel, a reflective logo and an extra internal pocket, it can be used for much more than just carrying muddy wellies this Autumn.
Because the nights are getting darker and colder, Hunter know that keeping little toes toasty this Autumn is very important. So the collection also features a number of variations on their classic welly socks. Kids can choose to accessorise their welly boots with anything from classic school shades such as navy, green and black, or go for bright stripes that will add a pop of fun to their welly boots. The Autumn/Winter 2012 collection features Hunters Kids’ First Welly Socks which are designed to fit the smallest of feet.
Because welly boots can take up a lot of space in bags and the car, Hunter boots have put their innovative stamp on a pair of boots that kids can take with them easily when they travel. The Original Kids’ Tour has a light, flexible leg crafted onto a durable Hunter rubber sole so it can be quickly rolled away and packed into a suitcase without taking up lots of space or weight. With a comfortable cuff top and Hunter buckle to the side, the Tour maintains its good looks, as well as its functionality, making it perfect for camping, weekends away and festivals.
Dewbury continues: “Hunter’s Autumn/Winter Kids collection is inspired by our adult collection of wellington boots giving little ones the chance to have as much fun as mum and dad do in their Hunter boots. We’ve also added lots of little fun features, such as reflective strips and the added bonus of extra colours and accessories to make sure that kids feet are warm, dry and fashionable this year. ”
Hunter Original Kids’ boot is available in sizes 8 – 14 and the Hunter Kids’ First boot is available in sizes 4 – 1.
Hunter’s new Autumn Winter 2012 collection captures the key trends of the season with their latest fashion range and cutting edge innovation in their Balmoral package. These finely detailed new fashion styles offer equestrian-inspired elegance, while unique textures and colours burst with pattern and luminescence. The technical Balmoral range offers a greater choice for the keen sportsman with warmer linings and shorter styles.
A spokesperson for Hunter Boot explains: “We’ve been working on our new Autumn and Winter collection, and we believe that our iconic Hunter Original Tall Gloss boot has captured all the definitive colours of the season with four rich new shades, including lagoon green and cocoa. We’ve also created a new pearlescent rubber, which is an updated version of the Original Tall and available in green, orange and purple, while our Original Brit is now available in gold.”
Hunter have also revamped their best-selling equestrian-inspired Regent boot, which now boasts a wealth of new Hunter detailing and contoured lines. A new last shape, with a clean, simple silhouette, the Belsize adds classic allure, while the versatile Belsize Calidore is a two-in one-style which can be worn long with a buckled calf piece, or as a short ankle boot.
The spokesperson for Hunter continues: “Hunter’s Snow collection was launched very successfully in Autumn Winter 2011, and the boots combined benefits of warmth, grip and style were a real hit with our customers. For Autumn Winter 2012, we have introduced the Original Snow Gloss, the Original Snow Quilt and the Original Snow Short to the range. And we haven’t forgotten about the kids, as our Original Kids Glow, which glows in the dark, is perfect for winter, and will be fun to wear at Halloween, on Bonfire Night or even for building a fun pillow fort indoors.”

It’s not always easy for plus size women to find clothing, shoes and accessories that not only compliment their body shapes, but are comfortable and fit into their life-styles as well. After years of fighting the frustration of shopping and not finding a good selection of quality women’s plus size clothing in local stores and malls, Bob and Diana Gillig from Elkton, Maryland, pulled their efforts and research together and developed a website www.shapelyplus.com, designed specifically for plus size women who may have experienced some of the same shopping frustrations.

Finding great online retail stores that offer real plus size clothing choices was just part of their research. They spend hours each week checking the latest fashion trends and styles to make sure they are only offering the most up-to-date fashion information, and focus on fashion trends for plus size women.
Many times, some of the featured retailers for plus size women’s fashions offer special sale discounts on dresses, separates, casual or corporate wear, swimsuits, maternity clothes, formals, wedding dresses, and dresses to outfit an entire bridal party. Numerous stores also offer accessories, handbags and shoes.
A section of their site is dedicated just for men who shop for their plus size women. They may be in need of a special gift, or plan to buy something special for their lady, but are not sure how to read plus size charts.
