THE HIGH-END POOCH!

After long time, team Modafactor brings you a new chapter! So, let’s begin. 

What makes people buy clothes for their pets? Why is the niche of pet wear design on the rise? Here are some facts that you need to know about the world of pet style.

Undeniably, the term pet owner is slowly being replaced by pet parent. “Pets are fully established as a ‘primary family member’ among most pet-owning households.”

Reference- https://www.petage.com/   https://www.womanandhome.com/   https://fashionweekonline.com/

Brigitte Chartrand, Vice President of womenswear buying at Ssense has told Women’s Wear Daily that, “there’s a growing interest for customers to reflect their own individual style and match it with their dog’s through clothing.”

More than a third of all pet owners are Millennials, who have overtaken Baby Boomers as the biggest pet-owning generation. Millennials are not afraid to make full use of their spending power—especially when those purchases are away to show their love for their beloved pets.

As consumers spend more on their pets than ever before, and Millennials lead all generations in doing so, it is becoming evident that pet clothing is a category seeing a resurgence in popularity.

Personalized clothing, licensed outfits and matching accessories like eyewear, collars and ID tags, are part of today’s lifestyle as consumers try to up their game on social media, where Millennials are apt to post about their furbaby.

Premiumization is a hot trend, and luxury pet products are starting to make their way to the forefront. It’s no surprise to see pets dressed to the nines, thanks to consumers giving their furbabies the “Mini-Me” treatment.

Gucci, Burberry, Versace, and other famous brands have already launched special collections for pets. Moreover, visiting Pet Fashion Week is also on the schedules of hundreds of people.

Luxury pet couture is the ultimate statement for discerning consumers and their pets. Offering elegant lines of apparel and accessories, expect these high-end clothing brands to deliver exclusive, irresistible fashions for today’s dogs and cats. Already available in fine pet boutiques, it’s only a matter of time before all pet retailers are offering luxury pet couture to their customers!

DESIGNING A HOME OFFICE!

Need a personal place to get away from it all? For some of us it’s our home office that provides sanctuary, but especially now during lockdown, the home office can provide a respite from the madness as well as a place to get productive. Whether you need to create a more friendly WFH environment or a place to get away from rest of the world to find a moment for yourself, the home office can be there for you. Try the following ideas to create a work-space for yourselves:

Reference- https://swyfthome.com/

Make it your own. Just because it’s a home office, doesn’t mean it needs to be sterile and uninteresting. Create a space that generates a sense of calm or inspires your senses to get you in the right headspace for whatever it is that you need to focus on. The best office design is the one that works for you. Here are some tips and ideas to create the perfect home office space. These work spaces can be anywhere in the house, not just a study, so think creatively and begin!

1. The botanical mid-century vibe

Create the on-trend mid-century feel by using a wooden desk with tapered legs and retro leather desk chair.

Add a bit of flair with poster prints, pendant lighting and patterned rugs.

Introducing plants to your office space can reduce stress and improve the sense of wellbeing. Plants provide added benefits such as reducing stress, increasing productivity and filtering the air.*

You can carry on the botanical design with accessories and art work. Try this with natural rattan lamp shades and grass reed prints like in the image above.

2. The bold, inspiring look

For a productive and inspiring workspace, it's important to choose a paint color that will keep you feeling motivated. Reds or dark hues stimulate excitement and get the blood pumping.

Mixing similar hues (Brick sofa, Light Blush walls) gives an elevated interior design look. Don't be afraid to drop a contrast color into the mix, which will add personality and more interest to the space.

Art work can also inspire the mind. If an original work is out of your price range, try an online poster vendor or create your own! to make the space feel even more personal.

3. The modern Zen space

Simple clean lines, no clutter, and mixed textures create an elevated and serene vibe.

Keep the design simple, and clean. Mixing neutral colors and textures will add interest but not overwhelm the space.

De-clutter. Channel Marie Kondo and keep your working space organized and your desk as clear as possible. You can do this by using desk organizers which can add interest and varied height levels to the space, making it more dynamic.

Use lighting to create a calming atmosphere. A desk lamp is key for a working space and can be both functional and beautiful. If you are working into the evening, ensure that the room is light enough so that your eyes don’t get strained from the bright screen. To enhance the feeling of wellbeing in the space, light some candles to reduce stress levels.

The future of work may change forever so don’t just think of your home work space as temporary. Many businesses will incorporate WFH or remote working into their business as usual going forward. You can create a bespoke space that’s tailored to your personal needs and style! 

Additionally, these tips can make it easier to understand:

-Pick the right spot

If you don’t have a spare room, think about rooms that have a little bit of extra space or can be transformed into a dual purpose area.

Choose a corner of the living room or dining room or a bedroom. The most important thing is that you have a desk and an ergonomic office chair.

-Colors

Choose colors that give you energy or calm, depending on what gives you the greatest sense of wellbeing. Warm colors such as reds, pinks and oranges give you energy, while cool colors such as blues, greens and greys keep you grounded and calm.

-Lighting

Make use of any natural light by positioning your desk as close to a window as possible.

Table lamps that are functional and beautiful are key to any working environment.

-Art and decoration

Art can inspire. There’s now an amazing online selection of original and vintage art posters. Or make it personal by creating your own paintings or photography.

Cork boards are a low cost way to create your own inspiration and mood in a contained space.

-Organization and storage

Tidy space, tidy mind. Keeping your space clutter-free will help you focus. By adding filing trays, pots, baskets, etc. you can add interest, while staying organized.

-Plants

Not just a great styling props, plants also offer health benefits from purifying the air to reducing stress and blood pressure.

BALENCIAGA FINDS CAMPAIGN STAR IN JUSTIN BIEBER

The “Peaches” singer is the newest face of the brand.

Reference- https://www.harpersbazaar.com/

For Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia, this year has been all about firsts. Between designing a virtual dystopian gamer-verse for the Fall/Winter 2021 collection and wiping the Balenciaga Instagram clean ahead of his couture debut, it’s clear that he’s making way for the storied maison’s next chapter. Now, after releasing a new Runner sneaker, the brand has found an unlikely campaign star in Justin Bieber—and the result is as good as we expected.

Dripped down in an oversized leather bomber with a hoodie and tapered sweatpants, Bieber appears carrying the brand's signature matte-black City tote in hand. Check other pictures from the campaign below:

Each look in the campaign features core styles that have been carried over from seasons past and remained essential to the brand's DNA: think billowy silhouettes, elevated athleisure with exaggerated proportions, and cult accessories that are just as relevant today. Shot by photographer and filmmaker Katy Grannan in an empty L.A. parking garage, the spread shows Bieber decked out in an outfit that’s quintessentially Balenciaga, dad sneakers and all. 

Straying from digitized models and catwalk fixtures and opting for a household name instead, Balenciaga is consistently finding new ways to re-establish its brand identity, and this new campaign further proves it.

ACCESSORIZE WITH THE RIGHT PAIR OF SUNGLASSES!

Bustling bright yellow taxis flooded the New York City streets. Audrey Hepburn, who played Holly Golightly in the notable film Breakfast at Tiffany’s slid her Oliver Goldsmith Manhattan sunglasses down the bridge of her nose. The scene in the film that showcased the frames and little black dress was duped as her most iconic fashion look. As seen with Hepburn, the perfect pair of sunglasses can make or break your look. Knowing the different styles, your face shape, and your go-to color palette will guide you in finding your perfect sunglasses and your iconic Hepburn-esque look all time.

Reference- https://www.lovehappensmag.com/

FACE SHAPE

When analyzing your face shape, it is important to remember that nobody has a perfect shape. Nobody is a perfect heart, circle, square, or any other defined category. In fact, most faces are a combination of a few different shapes. To find your face shape, assess your jawline in the mirror and determine if it leans toward the more angular or round side.

Once you have found your face shape, you can find which frames will bring a natural balance to your face. A good rule of thumb is to find a pair of sunglasses that are the opposite of your face shape. For example, square face shapes go best with round frames, triangular shapes go best with cat-eye frames, and so on.

Looking at the sunglasses display at the shops can be simply overwhelming. To get down to basics, there are four main types of frames. The aviator, wayfarer, round, and cat-eye. Here is the style guide:

1. Aviator

Giving them the name, aviator frames were originally developed in 1936 for pilots to protect their eyes while flying. The frames replaced the outdated flight goggles for a lighter, thinner, and more elegant feel. Stars such as Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise wore Randolph aviator sunglasses on the daily and in feature films.

2. Wayfarer

Fashion trends are ever-changing. That being said, wayfarer frames have kept up throughout the past decades and are still amongst the most recognizable on the market. The frames are quite large and square-shaped with a broad upper rim that goes out to a point. Throughout the 1950s, the frames became a staple for Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.

3. Round

Round frames have been around since the creation of glasses in the thirteenth century. Every once in a while, the frames strike back and become popular again. In the 1960s during the hippie movement, John Lennon brought the vintage frames back making the look wildly famous.

4. Cat-Eye

Cat-eye frames are the epitome of vintage fashion. The creator and designer, Altina Schinasi, created the frames after she graduated from art school in New York. The feline-inspired style took off in the 1950s as the stars Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid took to wearing the glamorous shape.

COLOR PALETTE

Determining whether you should opt for bright bold colors or earthy neutrals can be arduous. Color is a powerful communication tool that can be used to influence mood. Determining the color of your frames can quickly change the onset perspective of you from others.

FOOD, FASHION AND TRENDS!

It is enthralling to learn how fashion derives inspiration from various sources. Fashion and food are both part of lifestyle. Fashion thereby majorly influences the food industry in myriad ways. Most of the “dressing-up” is also for the meal times. For e.g. you can see many fashion/lifestyle bloggers create content based on dressing up for- casual coffee time, leisure lunch time, beach parties, get togethers, dinner dates and so on.

As Yves Saint Laurent once said: 

“All elements of life follow a certain style.” Yet there’s one thing that never goes out of fashion, and that’s good food.

Reference- https://www.vogue.com.au/

One of the most interesting aspects is how food and fashion influence and percolate through society in similar ways. Think of fashion’s recent predilection for using neoprene and scuba materials as analogous to the food industry’s obsession with nitrogen – it’s all about the latest in fashion and food technology, respectively. Lee Tran Lam, who writes one of Australia’s popular food blogs, The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry, compares the influence of trends in the food industry as similar to those of the catwalk.

“Food, like fashion, is driven by trends, seasonality and the occasional gust of hype.” 

It is no coincidence that Paris is the capital of both food and fashion. King Louis XIV set out to make Paris the arbiter of taste and style, giving rise to celebrity chefs and courtiers as part of his mercantilist approach of economic and political policy under the advice of his controller general of finance. Louis XIV saw that becoming a leader in food and fashion was a “soft power” and encouraged tourism and increased exports.

“Designing clothes is a lot like cooking — you have to have the right ingredients.” 

It is personal and creative expression at its most basic – flats or heels, cupcakes or ice-cream, leather or lace, poached or fried? Food, like fashion, has its tribes, but its lower price makes it easier to try new experiences. “People are elevating food from just sustenance to something with style.”

“It’s not really just about fashion, it’s about a lifestyle.”

Have a look at how food has inspired fashion and fashion designers-
