Trend Suited for Winter by Babini Kuki

Our collections – unique fashion lines, where each piece of clothing is designed exclusively as a modern expression of a traditional art. Over 200 original designs, each with a genuine handcrafted quality.

‘Babini kuki’ translates into ‘Granny’s knitting needles’.

It symbolizes the legends and traditions of a nation with over 1300 years of history.

Hand knitting and crochet are ancient arts handed down through the generations. Women passed the skills on to their daughters and granddaughters in order to preserve tradition. Bulgarian women are gifted with richness of soul and sense of harmony and beauty. They put all their imagination and vision into creating intricate traditional national dress, implementing a wealth of colour.

Nowadays, it would be nearly impossible to find even one Bulgarian family where this traditional art - hand knitting - hasn’t been preserved.

Now some of this womens designer clothes reminds me of the Ponchos, originated in Mexico.

And Here's a daring sassy type of Poncho

The Come Back of Prima Ballerina

Great theater dress, the tutu of prima ballerina - turn into a great womens designer clothes.

Ballet was introduced a hundreds of years ago. A type of performative dance originated on French courts and was further developed as a concert form of dance in England, Italy, Russia.
The early ballet weren't highly skilled as they are now, it has become a highly technical form of dance with it's own vocabulary.

When ballet first originated in Italy during the Renaissance (known then as "ballo,") female dancers were not allowed to show their legs or even ankles to the public. Instead, dancers used masks so that their artistic expression was enough to excite the audience. Their clothing included stiffly laced long-sleeved bodices and panniered skirts. Such restrictive, cumbersome outfits allowed little possibility for elaborate athletic body movement. Thus dance steps had to be quite simple.

Then came the "tutu" a corruption of the word cucu, (French baby talk for cul-cul meaning roughly "botty-wotty" for butt). Legend has it that the term was first used by commoners who, unlike the wealthy sitting in the upper levels of the ballet theaters, were seated in the lower levels. These commoners would look up at the dancer and had a very different view of the ballerinas.

Paint-By-Numbers, totally unique

The paint-by-number is one of the trendiest thing ever happened to fashion, even though it never came out as a star. Being able to paint yourown shoe, bag, or clothes is a great thing to increase more fashionable ideas in your mind. Paint-by-numbers makes me feel that I am the maker of my own brand, imagine great fashion designers like Ralph Lauren, Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen, Chloe, CK, Versace and more doing a grand collection of Paint-by-numbers designer clothing.

"The paint-by-numbers revival has been invested with a certain degree of intellectual gravitas. This is a fad that has been elevated, by social historians and other lateral-thinking academics, into nothing less than a full-blown cultural phenomenon. Pictures painted by rote by bored housewives and hobbyists, patient or not-so-patient children, and assorted Sunday painters lacking the imagination or inclination to think up their own compositions, have suddenly metamorphosed into objects of social analysis and aesthetic contemplation. There has even been an entire exhibition devoted to the birth and progress of the phenomenon in America, at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The accompanying book, Paint by Number, by William L Bird, Jr, is to be published in this country." - telegraph.co.uk

Thigh-high boots are "in" this 2009

Pants might be over as we know it. Thigh-high boots emerged as the hot shoe for fall, landing so far up the leg they doubled as leg warmers. Is this designers' collective attempt to save the world from the pantless ladies everywhere (Lady Gaga and Lindsay Lohan)? Designers even tacked on a few bells and whistles to their boots: Hussein Chalayan added garter belts, Prada made rubber waders stylish, Antonio Berardi lined his in fur, and Stella McCartney's faux-leather leggings were actually boots that pulled up to the crotch.

Thigh-length boots, known also as thigh-high boots or simply thigh boots, are boots that extend above the knees. Other synonyms include over-the-knee boots, and especially when cuffed, pirate boots. Lengths vary from reaching just over the knee to reaching almost to the crotch (referred to as crotch boots).


But are we ready to embrace the implications of this phenomenon? Pants as we know them are losing popularity. And with the surge of thigh-highs, rescuing them is even further from our reach.

The 90's Fashion

1990's Fashion
The 90's fashion era was also referred to as “anti-fashion”, but in reality “anti-fashion” was only one of the many trends in fashion of the 90's.
The 90's was also characterized by minimalist styles, many over lapping and often contradictory trends.

---

The early 90's fashion significantly gave way to the rise of grunge fashion but in the latter part of it, many have moved away from grunge. Most of the population was still on the hang of the later years of fashion style(e.g. Styles from 60's and 70's).

Remnants from the 80's were still existing, like the famous shoulder pads which the ladies of the 80's truly adore, the mini-skirts(I have no comment on this one).

---

The 90's offer a lot of new and exciting trends, here are some of it:

The Long Line Jacket

Trousers

Classic Blazer

Petticoat Dresses

---

In the mid-90's, Chinese cheongsam dresses and rich dress or interior brocade fabrics came out and become another addition to the fashion trend of 90's right after the handing over of Hong Kong from the British Colony.

Knitwear

Long Cardigan coats
