Says fashion designer Leena Singh who gives us the highlights on trends for the upcoming season
Feminine shapes and silhouettes are stylish. Size zero is completely out.
Off-shoulders and one-shoulder dresses at the Oscars have set the trend for this season. Colours are expected to be more feminine and silhouettes — softer, dresses should be fitted, yet flowy.
Accessories are still big. Though, bling should not be restricted to just ear rings — loud necklaces can be used to accessorise simple attire. When it comes to sunglasses — the bigger the better.
An ill-fitting pair of jeans is the last thing a woman wants to be seen in. After jibes from well-meaning friends, Monica S Gatphoh goes brand hopping in the city, with disastrous results. Read on...
I know it’s sale season and some of my favourite brands are offering huge discounts. But this one time, I want a pair of jeans that fit, well, wickedly. Not that I want parts of me bursting at the seams. I want that vamp-but-still-decent-look.
I go to the neighbourhood Levi’s, pick a couple of jeans and get into the changing room only to emerge baffled. The waist size is alright, but whatever happened to the er... behind?
Brussels - The torrent of abuse was triggered by a pair of new shoes. Alina bought them because her best friend Alex already had the same brand of footwear. Unfortunately, this did not go at all well with Alex who was quick to vent her anger.
Alina realised this when she logged in as usual onto SchuelerVZ - a popular social Internet platform in Germany for schoolchildren and their pals.
"You rotten bitch" was the post left behind on Alina's virtual notice board and before she knew what was happening, the girl found herself on the receiving end of a tirade of hatred.
New York - More than three-fourths of women who participated in an international survey said they have little interest in sports and fitness training, according to the New York City-based marketing research institute that conducted the survey.

Bonn, Germany - Employers should not ignore an employee's complaints of mobbing, which is broadly defined as harassment ranging from verbal abuse, in person or on the telephone, to threats, gag orders, sexual harassment and physical violence.
A German publisher based in Bonn said ignoring the problem could have negative effects on the atmosphere in the office, and on productivity. In addition, ignoring mobbing could have legal consequences. Employers could be sued, for example, for failing to provide assistance.
Every day in Germany, an estimated 1.5 million employees are mobbed, according to the country's federal authority for worker protection and medicine. Nearly half or 43.9 per cent become ill following the period in which they were mobbed.
