How would you react if someone suggests you: “Dress up your computer”. Or if he goes even further: “Wash your computer”? Today we are witnesses of the strong development of the electronics. The children of the post-PC-era could hardly imagine the world without a TV remote, cell phone, mp3-player, and online connection… Smart clothing are just a version of all electronic gadgets we have around us. However, they are not finding of the new century. Even in the 1970s a group of physicists designed and created several small computer systems to assist them in games of roulette. Gradually, the idea is gaining momentum to reach the inclusion of giant companies such as IBM, Nokia, Philips and others in similar projects.

The smart filaments

When it comes to “smart clothes”, you should first think about “smart fabrics” or even “smart fibers”. Traditional materials do not possess the necessary properties to conduct electrical current, which is necessary for the operation of the smart clothing. A research laboratory started to produce silk organza, which is a unique material known in India for centuries. It is ideal for creating smart clothing because it is composed of two threads: a simple silk fiber and silk fiber with a thin copper coating. The result is the creation of a conductor of electricity. Once the silk organza is cut into desired shape, different components like resistors, coils, etc. are sewn directly to it.

The most interesting smart clothes

  • The musical instrument of Levi’s. It looks like any other denim jacket, but what makes it unique is the added decorative element –a keyboard on the left pocket. The used threads are moderate conductors of electricity. When you touch a button, it sends a signal to another processor, which drives the MIDI synthesizer. The sound is heard through the mini-speakers placed in the pocket of the jacket. The entire device weighs 453 grams due to batteries.
  • Suit for winter activities. The main goal is the suit to prevent you from incidents and help in case of danger. Integrated sensors provide a health information, location and direction of movement. In case of problems the suit sends an emergency message via GPS. It contains information about the technical problem, the exact coordinates, and data from physical measurements of the human body.
  • The warming coat. It contains digital sensors for measuring the temperature and to control incorporated in the jacket heating panels. The user can set limits on the warming process. The system includes nickel batteries that provide power. The coat can be washed, as this does not damage the sensors.
  • Shoes to enter the Internet. Entry into the global network can now be done via Internet connected shoes. They allow for example, two partners to practice jogging together, although during the training they are located in different places.

Smart dress. Smart clothes are already an integral part of the fashion industry. Hussein Chalayan created a dress that changes its shape by remote control. The dress is made of glass fiber – a material used primarily in the aerospace industry.

If you are tired of your boring every day makeup and want to improve it but don’t know how, you will definitely find some good tips in the next part of the article. Makeup is an important issue and it makes us look amazing but it can also make us look dull and old, so make sure that your makeup is always trendy and adds a little color on your overall look.

1-      Add a beautiful red lipstick – Choose red lipstick to match your undertone. Red lipstick is always in fashion and it will always be one of the sexiest symbols of fashion. However, a lot of women are doing all the red lipstick look wrong by choosing a color that doesn’t complement their face. If you have olive or darker (brownish) skin, a lipstick that is darker and has a yellow undertone will definitely look amazing on you. However, if you have that type of dark skin that is intense (more like an intense black) or a very pale skin with a little redness, you probably have a cooler undertone. Those with warm undertone should choose red colors like coral or peachy, but those with a cooler undertone will look better with colors like purple or blue red.

2-      Use natural colors like bronze, caramel, peach, or orange to enhance the glow of your tan. If you are not tanned, you can use a little bronzer on your cheeks and forehead. Natural colors are in trend right now, so get rid of the black eyeliner and boring colors and make sure that you glow, even if you are at work. Using pink or latte colors on your lips will make this look be even more natural and sweet so make sure that you have some of those colors in your makeup kit.

3-      Use a good concealer. There’s nothing better than a healthy skin and using a good concealer can help you hide your blemishes and achieve that beautiful flawless look. Don’t buy the most expensive brand but something in between will be best. You don’t want something that will smear, you want something that lasts and manages to give you full coverage until the day ends. Don’t forget that the new trend is mostly about concealer and less about foundation so minimal coverage is better.

You can create great looks by combining different colors and styles but makes sure that you remember the main trends mentioned above.

Cotton clothes. Colored cotton clothes should not be washed at a temperature higher than 60° C; the fine colored cotton fabrics – at 40° C. For laundering white cotton clothes, use a universal detergent for colored clothes, which does not contain bleach. Using the dryer can cause damage, shrinkage up to two sizes or stretching the fabric, so it is not recommended. This error can be corrected, but not completely, by using a steam iron and manual stretching. The dryer is an obstacle for the long life of your cotton robe. Cotton clothes dry for a relatively long period of time. The most appropriate way to dry them is to hang them vertically after laundering. If you want to wear a shirt, but it is slightly wet, you can dry it with the delicate mode of the iron for wool clothes. An important tip is not to iron the cotton clothes to their full drying condition. Cotton clothing can be dried in dryers, but remember that they have the opportunity to shrink a few sizes.

Wool clothes. The best is to wash the wool garments by hand with special conditioners for wool. The maximal water temperature should be up to 30° C. As a rule, the wool needs more space and water to be washed, so it is good to use bigger container. If your washing machine has a program for delicate fabrics with a temperature up to 30° C, you may use it for wool as well. However, leave space in the machine and not put too much wool clothes inside. The best way to dry wool pullovers and other garments is over a horizontal cloth. Avoid vertical drying. Never use dryers or heaters, to place the garment on top of them, as the wool will be burnt. Wool clothes may be ironed, but on a lighter mode and using vapor.

Silk clothes. Silk is one of the finest and delicate material for clothing and therefore it needs very special care. You have to wash it only buy hand at a maximal temerature of the water of 30° C. Better use special detergents for fine fabrics: it could be the same conditioner as for wool clothes, as both wool and silk fibers are protein fibers. Silk blouses or other garments should not be rubbed or twist, as silk is very weak in wet conditions. Dip the silk clothes first on hot and than on cold water for good rinsing. After washing, the silk garment is better to be soaked briefly in cold water with some vinegar in it: the vinegar will return the brightness and color of the fabric. Silk is easily maintained in the following manner: place water in the bathtub, add a quarter cup of vinegar in the water and dip the silk clothes inside for one hour. Then discard water, rinse the fabric in water at room temperature, very gently squeeze the garnments and dry them with a dry cloth. It is best to place them in a horizontal position on a towel. Do not expose silk clothes to dry on direct sunlight, as they lose strength. Silk fabrics are ironed only by using the iron mode “silk”.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is not the typical first lady, who can be seen next to the president of such a conservative country like France. She has repeatedly been accused of breach of official protocol events. She even affords to openly criticize the Pope. Bruni walks the distance from the catwalk to the Elysee Palace, form the first man of the rock music – Mick Jagger to the first man in the country – Nicolas Sarkozy.

Carla Bruni was born on December 23, 1968 in Turin, Italy. Comes from a wealthy family that owns a company for production of tires. When she was 5 she moved with her parents to France, due to threats of kidnapping. Carla grew up in Paris and later on graduated a school in Switzerland. At the age of 19, she returned to Paris and no longer after she started a career of a model. Carla Bruni entered the world of fashion and quickly became one of the 20 most expensive top models, earning $ 7.5 million per year. She worked for the most famous designers and fashion houses, including Givenchy, Dior, Paco Rabanne, Sonia Rykiel, Chanel, Versace and many others.

Carla-Bruni

Bruni quickly became a darling of the tabloids, thanks to her relationships with famous men like Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, Donald Trump, Kevin Costner and Vincent Perez. She became famous with the words that that she is easily bored by monogamy, and that “love lasts a long time, but the burning attraction between men and women – just a week or two.

In 1998, Bruni leaved the catwalk and dedicated her time to her other great passion – singing. Her first album “Somebody said to me” (2002) enjoyed a huge interest across Europe. In 2007 she released her second album. However, in 2001 she did something more important: she gave birth to her son, Aurélien. The media are very interested of the news, as the boy’s father is the French philosopher Raphael Entoven. The truth is that Carla had a relationship with his father some years before…

On February 2, 2008 Carla Bruni again called the attention to her personality and becomes a media sensation. The occasion is her wedding with the French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Reviews were contradictory and varied from strong approval of the new first lady to absolutely negative. There were many vicious comments like “The Third Mrs. Sarkozy”… Despite her new duties, Carla didn’t sop singing. On the contrary – just a few months after becoming a first lady of France, she promoted her new album. The funds available from its sales were given to various charities and humanitarian causes. In July 2009 Carla Bruni was invited to sing during the 91st birthday of Nelson Mandela.

As the first lady of France, Kalra Bruni-Sarkozy is always observed with a magnifying glass. For example, during her visit to Britain, she was admired on her choice to be dressed in a suit from Christian Dior. The reason? This is a French brand, leaded by a Britain’s chief: the designer John Galliano. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has always demonstrated personal position and did not hesitate to criticize even Pope Benedict XVI in connection with his position on AIDS.

 

Always on fashion: Wool textiles

Wool clothing is more than everlasting. Sweaters, jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, coats and even crocheted vests, together with high quality men and women suits are made of wool. In all its varieties.

Wool is a fiber, taken from the skin of the domestic sheep or other mammals such as goats, llamas, rabbits, cats and others. Wool yarns create a feeling of softness and warmth. Being a protein fiber, wool can provoke allergic reactions: irritation, itching, an unpleasant feel when in contact with skin. Therefore parents must be very careful with wool clothes for kids: usually wool is not recommended for children under 3 years of age.

Here it should be mentioned that not all wool types create such discomfort, on the contrary – some threads are extremely fine and soft. It depends on the type of the animal and the way of production, including the finishing treatments.

In practice there are two types of application of the wool threads. Wool fabrics are soft and fluffy and have almost no surface shine. They are heavier and bulkier than cotton yarns. Therefore wool is frequently used for production of blankets, fabric for coats, sports knitwear, jackets, etc. The second type of application of wool is when it is used for spinning of very thin worsted yarns. The fabrics made of them, known as “cool wool”, are smoother, more polished, does not stretch and can be easily iron. On the top of that worsted fabrics are light and thin and are used for production of high quality formal men and women suits.

There are also other types of wools, taken from other animals and use mainly as “noble” fibers in production of woollen fabrics. The most used in fashion clothing are:

Alpaca. It is rich and lustrous wool fiber derived from the sympathetic animal Lama, which lives in South America. This wool is quite rarely used because it is very expensive.
Mohair. It is received from the Angora goat. The thread is very elastic and strong. Mohair, however, is not as soft as the traditional wool. This type of fiber has a unique luster that has the ability to change according to weather conditions. Mohair is often used in household and to make all kinds of fashion garments.
Angora. This wool is produced from the Angora rabbit. The yarns are extremely soft and gentle and used for the manufacture of knitted clothing – mostly for children.
Camel. Camel wool is produced from the subcutaneous layer of the downy camel. This wool is frequently blended with wool from sheep. It is used for production of fabrics for garments – coats, sweaters, sports suits, etc. Because of the beauty of the natural color of the Camel, it is very rarely colored in other nuances.
Kashmir. It is obtained from the fleece of the same name Tibetan goat. These fibers are often mixed with cotton, silk or wool of domestic sheep – mostly because of the strength of the hair of the goat.

 

The colors in fashion

Color is one of the main characteristics of each ensemble and you have to choose it carefully. Incorrectly selected, the colors of clothing and accessories can completely destroy the impression. Even the most fashionable dresses or suits can worsen the proportions of your figure and color of the face. A well-chosen combination of classic colors will give to your appearance the necessary individuality, freshness and elegance.

The rules for color combinations in clothes are quite simple and flexible – each rule is well known, but it provides an exception as well. One of the main recommendations regarding the selection of clothing concerns cold and warm palette of color shades:
Cool color shades are based on blue: they can be grey, blue, light blue, cool yellow and cool pink.
Warm shades of color are based on yellow: they include all shades of brown, orange, coral, turquoise, green, and golden.

It is not recommended to mix warm and cool shades of colors.

The safest solution is to dress in a single color, but such models are rare in contemporary fashion, which is in pursuit of brilliance and originality. To vary the wardrobe, the designers offer a combination of at least two colors. Taking into account the accessories, the colors usually reach three or four. In these cases, particular rules for combining different shades of colors are in use.

For example bold, but most impressive is the combination of two contrasting shades of equally saturated and bright colors. One of them may be lighter, and the second – a darker. Such a combination of colors not only helps to make the outfit more visible, but also visually adjust some problems with the figure by diverting away the attention from some “problem” areas of the body.

Another brave decision is the combination of colors, which are the so-called “complementary” to each other. This means that they are at the opposite ends of an imaginary color series: light blue and orange, red and green, yellow and violet. Such combinations, however, can be completely incorrect. The most important thing is to carefully select the appropriate brightness and intensity of the two colors.

A very good decision is to combine different variations of one hue: for example blue and pale blue, or soft lilac with a deep violet. Such a combination is called “monochrome” and allows a lot of experiment with colors. On the basis of one color only a group of all its variations in combination can be built. For example, only red shades are over a dozen – from bright and deep red to scarlet red, pink, and wine red.

It is not recommended to combine colors that are next to each other in the color range: for example, blue and green or red with orange. These combinations can be seen in collections of fashion designers, but they are not appropriate for the street, being, practically, meaningless. Most “safe” and easy in terms of combination of classic colors are black and white. Furthermore, soft pastel colors are also very easy to be combined well with each other. The grey, as black and white, can be combined with absolutely all colors, even the most vivid shades. Grey is often used to mute or, on the contrary, to highlight the basic color.
