FASHION POLICE

By NYSH Fashion Critic,
Mahyara

Here I am again. The week not even really started and there I was out in the city searching for my next victim. Guess what? I found a lifetime sentence one. Actually, this week I found I lot of them. So I called “ Wrong Fashion Statements Weekly Phenomenon.” Which happens often. I’m serious, maybe it is because of the hot weather that can make people drowsy, consequently they don’t think really well before they get dressed. I was around the 34th street when this miracle happened, I saw my victim getting in to Forever 21. Guess what I did? I also went in. I needed to take a picture of that faux pas. I sound like a stalker but don’t worry, I’m not. I’m just someone that can’t believe how people leave their houses without looking in the mirror.

This lovely lady, as I like to call my victims, deserves a round of applause or maybe a minute of silence. The self-confidence and courage that she has is not even questionable. I think she woke up and said, “ I’m going to be trendy today.” Smart? Ups, I’m sorry but no. I don’t even know why a brand produces this style of garment for big girls. I want to point out that I have nothing against people that are overweight. Because once I was also overweight. But this outfit is KILLING her body.

Let me tell you something, when you have some extra pounds STAY AWAY from bubble skirt/dress, they just make you look bigger. Plus, where is the rest of the skirt? It is TOO short. To complete her outfit, look at her boots. There’s nothing wrong with them alone. On the other hand, it is making her look shorter and makes us pay to much attention to her legs. If this was her intention, she did an amazing job. However, she forgot that if the Fashion Police catches her, she would go straight to Guantanamo Bay. Now, my advice here is whatever your weight is, 1 pound or 300 pounds, wear something that enhance your body first.
Please, do not forget the next time you leave your home be careful cause you can be the next.

Lots of love,
Mahyara

RELATIONSTYLE

By Contributing Editors
Stacie Corliss & Julia G

Last week, on an average New York summer’s day, we were strolling through Soho and came across a fascinating, less-than-average sight. Walking towards us was an impeccably put together WASP-y girl, clad in a Lilly Pulitzer dress and a set of pearls. What was shocking was that she happened to be holding hands with a gentleman, presumably her boyfriend, who looked like a slightly tamer version of Marilyn Manson -- tattoos, piercings, Doc Martins and all. However, this rather odd couple had undeniable chemistry and looked like they couldn’t be happier.

This got us thinking, how can such seemingly different people be attracted to each other, and how does one’s personal style relate to the type of person one is drawn to? After several conversations with friends and colleagues, some research, and really thinking about how we would answer this question, we came to a conclusion that is far from simple. The way a person chooses to dress usually transforms during the course of a lifetime and directly relates to the way that person wants to be seen by others in a particular time. It is one of the most personal forms of self-expression, as it is often the first and only way one is judged by society, i.e. strangers on the street. For example, a teenager may want to rebel against her conservative parents by dressing like a punk rocker, yet end up in tweed later on in life, dating a Wall Street banker rather than the guy she met at a Blink-182 concert in 10th grade. Most people in their twenties are in the process of discovering their place in the world and who they are, including the way they choose to dress and whose hand they’ll be holding walking through Soho. Often, we date people who compensate for the qualities that we do not possess ourselves but admire. This explains the apparently mismatched couples who find true happiness together, because in a way they balance one another. Yet other times, people who are secure and established look for a partner who has similar views and life values, which explains the couples who are so similar they are occasionally confused for siblings.

Therefore, as strange as it may sound, our choices in fashion and who we date are very much related to one another, as both are a way of not only expressing, but also fulfilling ourselves.

Editor's Note:
Both Stacie and Julia are wonderful models living in New York City. Their sense of style and fashion are both striking and sophisticated. With their lips painted with vivid rouge Dior lipstick, and armed with Fendi B Bag they take the street and this article by the storm.
