Runway Initiation

Here's Chace! A brand new writer for Today's Top Trends. I'm pretty excited about being a writer for this wonderful blog and I hope you'll like my posts here. My job is to write about Stardoll; as well as real life fashion, trends and modelling.

As you may know the Resort 2012 fashion shows started some days ago, and I recently strarted having a flick through the colections on Style.com, which is one of the best fashion sites on the web. I have to say, some of them are really great but some are just plain boring. Here are my favourites at the moment...

Valentino

Versace

Louis Vuitton

Not only in real life though, the catwalks are heating up in preparation for SFW SS'12 shows in Dollywood aswell! Many designers are preparing their collections for the upcoming week, and I'm super excited about it. If you're interested, you can still apply till early August!  Hopefully I'll have a collection in it, and my magazine may be a part of it aswell. My collection would be called Chérie (check it out here) which is French for darling, and my magazine's name is Posh, which you can check out here! It'll be premiering in the Summer, and here is the spoiler... Don't forget to follow and comment!

So which one is your favourite collection of Resort 2012?
Are you excited about SFW SS'12?

Admire Couture to Launch New Line This February! Exclusive!

I am very sorry that I have not been posting as often as I could, or should - but I have been busy whether you think so or not. I have learned to sort out my time and school is the most important aspect of my life right now. I am sure a lot of you can relate to school. Anyways, being that we sponsor the lovely and new Admire Couture - Tyler's Top Trends has a little something for you today.

Now, like I have previously mentioned... Admire Couture is a new, yet processed fashion line that is still looking for a secure spot in our 'Stardoll world'. Obviously, you have to have a fan base in order to get somewhere anywhere. That's you.

With that being said, it would be amazing if you could use your blog, and power to get the word out about this brand. It is not everyday that we get to post about things like this and with everyone complaining that Stardoll is dead, projects like these ones spice it back up. We can also exclusively announce to you that Admire Couture will be showing their second collection, this February at Stardoll Fashion Week!

That means the staff has to be releasing a teaser soon, right?

We have it, see the magical photo after the jump!

Stardoll Fashion Week: It's Over

Stardoll Fashion Week is over.

I am very sad, because it was keeping Stardoll alive and so much was going on - but I can only hope that Stardoll continues to be this way year around. Maybe not so hectic. But on another note, I am also very happy and pleased, mostly because it was taking over this here blog and I will finally have to make other fashion related posts and get some new writers. Secondly because of the feedback we received. It really inspired me to continue to write for you guys. I think we could all say SFW was a success.

See you here next year for coverage?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 6: Ostentatious + Exclusives

Today was an amazing turnout for Stardoll Fashion Week. All of Stardoll was crazed when a surprise collection was going to be making its' debut and then everyone went even crazier (if possible) once it was released. Alice Fare (otherwise known as Hunnigall) was that surprise designer. Her surprise collection was Ostentatious.

Here's how she describes the brand:

"For this collection I was inspired by the magic of Asia. After watching the movie Tekken (perhaps not a literal connection to asian culture, but nonetheless inspiring) I was caught by the elements of girl power. See, Tekken tells a story of a fighter, they fight for a living in times of desperation; women included, and it was this power they exuded that made me think: so what if they wear skimpy clothing? I can reinvent that; perhaps not in a sensible manner for sport, but I can sill use those elements of power and strength to create an outfit that tells a story. Particularly the shoes express how impressive and fearful a strong woman is; but also how feminine and mysterious they are. My vision was to mould my own interpretations of strength into something beautiful; and this is what was formed. Ostentatious."

Alice is such a good friend of mine and seeing her succeed means everything to me because of the fact that this is really what she likes to do. It's a hobby of hers. For me and hopefully for her, this collection opens a new chapter in her career as a Stardoll and real-life designer. Her vision was a lot more powerful than practically all the collections we've seen this week. Her idea of power and strength in a piece of clothing is so much more than a sequin attached to a dress. It makes the collection so much more believable. It's what fashion is all about, the fashion should be alive.

Honestly, Alice's graphics have exceeded the limits of what people are expecting to see on Stardoll. She has raw and professional talent. She makes art. And although she only constructed five looks, they were the most executed of the week. The makeup, the fashion, the art - the dream. The runway was even more then just a propped-up floorboard. Runways help present a collection and Alice knows that. This runway was so articulate and it really created a complete vision.

Alice, I am so proud of you. You are Stardoll Fashion Week!

Kindly, Alice donated her sketches to Tyler's Top Trends exclusively: Take a look below for an idea of what goes on behind-the-scenes- during SFW:

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 6: V &T, Flawless Bridal Couture, Ribbon

V&T was one of the anticipated collections that was released by Vasia28 and Tonia.ftw today. It was a Spring line that consisted of a lot of foliage. An Eco friendly collection. I think that if I could describe this collection in one word it would have to be: smart.


















The next clothing collection that was presented today during SFW was Flawless Bridal Couture. It is quite unfortunate because when disaster struck the line, only four dresses were shown. Better luck next year?






















Last, but not least: Ribbon. *yawn*

Which line was your favorite?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 6: Recherche Magazine

Earlier today many witnessed the release of the September issue of Recherche Magazine. As a lot of you may know, I am a big supporter of Recherche for many reasons. I love their consistency with issues and I love their creativity and hard work.



This could easily be the magazines most-important issue. Not only is it the September issue, but it was released during Stardoll Fashion Week. The magazine featured a boy on the cover, Nojarama. I felt like this really set it apart from other magazines that made issues public during this big event because of the fact that it was so daring and unexpected.

I loved seeing all the different cultural fashion and a lot of the articles were very informative. I felt like the Coverboy interview was a little... all over the place. But other then that, perfect! Congratulations to the team!

Opinions?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 6: vaniTEEN Magazine

I am so excited to talk about this next magazine because I have seen the process and I have witnessed the hard work that went into this issue.




It's vaniTEEN! For the first and debut issue, this magazine has already made a big impact on the Stardoll fashion world today, even the entertainment industry I suppose you could say. The graphics are not the best, but they are not the worst. I was really happy to see the release of this issue because I took part in a lot of it. You can see our Prep Style competition winner, liajm featured as a model in an article that I wrote, 'Incomplete Without Elite'. This magazine will hopefully be around for quite some time. Not only am I a staff member, but a big fan at that! Be sure to click on the link dropped in this paragraph to read the whole issue, it's great!

What are you thoughts on the debut issue of vaniTEEN?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 5: Fantasy Couture

I am terribly sorry that this review is coming late, but the circus was in town (literally) and I was out all night. It's alright though, because it seems like only one collection was released on this day.

And that collection was... Eeleenyte10's Fantasy Couture!

"Well, this collection isn't couture, and some pieces are casual, but the rest is more interesting and different. My biggest inspiration is nature, and this collection is about sky - wind, clouds and sunrise. Also, my inspirations are fashion designers and fashion houses like Alexander McQueen, Victor & Rolf or Versace. I try to create something different, a little weird - maybe not in first collection, but that's my biggest goal."

The quote above what released by the designer herself and it is quite disappointing. When you hear the brand name Fantasy Couture, don't you expect to see some couture fashion pieces incorporated into the collection? I don't like the color scheme, I don't like the runway, and I don't like the way the pieces were styled. This collection just didn't do the brand justice.

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 4: The E Empire

Continuing the coverage for SFW, this new collection is very luxurious. HOWEVER, I do have quite a bit I would like to say about it. Remember, blogging is all about opinions.

'The E Empire' was made public today and each model that walked down the runway looked like a million bucks. The collection consists of six pieces all created and designed by evita.sweet. The runaway was very detailed (unlike some runways we've seen this week) and I could tell that Eva really wants her time in the spotlight. She wants to show people what she is capable of and she did.

BUT.

She really didn't get the proportions right. I know this has nothing to do with the collection and clothing at all - which is what he want to focus on, but it is kind of hard to when the models body looks dismantled in them. I would half to say that Eva's collection was the most processed of the five we've already seen, and I do think that her graphic skills are also up there with some of the higher ranked designers. Even the color and cut of the gowns stood up, however, I felt she was lacking a little bit of patience.

View the rest of the collection here!

What are your thoughts on The E Empire?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 4: color.fashion.chic

From what I hear, today was not the best day for SFW. Allure Magazine didn't get released, which could potentially affect the brand and there was many delays. However, there were two collections that shined and of course, Tyler's Top Trends is here to review them!

Today, color.fashion.chic made its' debut. This could possibly be the biggest collection that Stardoll Fashion Week has seen so far, I loved it - actually. I could tell that there was a lot of work put into the whole creation process and obviously, the owner deserves her credit!

Here's what she had to say about the line:

"Autumn is a combination of different colors. They are intense and beautiful. In my collection are clothes in the colors of autumn leaves, and cool colors. I am inspired by clothes from 50s and 60s, but there are also modern and classical elements. The style of my collection is feminine and elegant and there are a lot of floral motifs."

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 3: Coconut Lingerie

Someone that should be getting a (excuse my French) shitload of credit for this amazing event that is Stardoll Fashion Week, is Becka Lavendale. Otherwise known as Psychotic-Freak. She really has done most, and by most I mean all of the work without Mary. And while she didn't create the magazines and clothing collections that you have been seeing, she did create this next line herself with some help from her partner Nojmual (Nojarama). It's a really simple, yet mysterious brand: Coconut Lingerie.






















Because Stardoll wasn't already sexed-up enough (laughs), Coconut Lingerie was born. It's just in time to catch up with the real world - and while most people are showing some fall looks, with scarves and what not, the folks over at Coconut are whipping out Spring colors. Along with the apparel.

Here's what the creators had to say about the line:

"When you normally imagine a bra, you think either white, nude, or some black lacy sex tool. It’s become such a cliché! We wanted to change that. Coconut wanted to bring bolder colours into springtime, by fusing tropical influences with our British chic theme. Therefore, florals, warm tones with acidic contrasts, union jacks, teapots and a Mini are our staples. You won’t want to wear your old white knickers ever again. "

Need I say more?

Really. Need I say more?

Take a look at the complete collection here!

Aced it.

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 3: Eccentric Magazine

What a marvelous day.

Eccentric Magazine makes a comeback!

As you all know, my dear - dear friend Vanessa (Star_Awards) has been absent from Stardoll for quite some time. Well, soon enough, she was bound to return. Don't they always? I'm rambling. ANYWAYS, she's back and probably more matured. She's put her problems aside and really started to get professional. It was a mystery for as while as to whether or not she would continue working on a new issue of Eccentric and fair enough: she was! Lets take a look:

The Coverit is Devie44 and he/she doesn't look too bad! The articles featured in this issue were actually quite interesting. It covered the basics. It talked about the current rulers of Stardoll and it also go personal with past ones. The colors are soft and the graphics have improved tremendously.

I have been so busy, Vanessa! But since I haven't messaged you about the new issue yet - how about I do publically, now. CONGRATULATIONS!

What are your thoughts on Eccentric's return?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 3: L'arte de Lily

I want to thank everyone for the continuous support of this blog. You all have really been commenting a lot these past few days - which makes me more inspired to write.

It's day three of already 'proven to be a success' project that is Stardoll Fashion Week and as the days go by, projects will be making their debuts. Which of course means, Tyler's Top Trends will be there to capture everything that goes down. From magazine releases to clothing line launches!

Today, designer Lily Rose Todd (who also took part in the creating process of 'Perfection') solely launched her own clothing collection, simply titled: L'arte de Lily.























One of the looks (featured above), is an example of what you might seen in this collection. Here's what the designer had to say about the brand:

"L'arte de Lily is a collection that appeals to those who want to make a statement. The contrast between the vibrant hues and darker colors are what makes this collection a cut above and gives any wearer a sophisticated look. What inspired this collection was actually looking at my own wardrobe and my own personal style. It's sophisticated and classy without looking "cookie cutter."

... And I agree! The pieces really do make a statement for anyone who is wearing them and to be completely honest, I loved the way the looks were styled. You can dress the looks up, or you can dress them down. Fall is on its' way (it's practically here!) and these looks really capture a lot of fall trends. Rather it be the cut, color, fabric and how much of it - this collection was fabulous. Congratulations are in order!

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 2: Perfection

Last, but not least for the day (regarding Stardoll Fashion Week) is... Perfection. A collection by Lily Rose and Bruno Silva. Personally, I've been reading some other critic comments and they are not raving about this collection - but I do see potential in these designs, everyone has to grow and develop when it comes to anything they do. Sure the graphics are not very processed, but I get what they were trying to do, what they were trying to create and I applaud them for at least trying.

Here's what the creators of the line had to say about it:

"Perfection is a line that strives to compliment it's name. The clothes are meant to accentuate a woman's body with gentle florals, pastels, and laces that create a luxurious, feminine attire with someone of any physique."

And regarding that statement, it isn't as luxurious as it is feminine to me. I feel like some of the pieces could easily be paired with fishnets and instantly become trashy - so just a head up for your next collection guys! Maybe you could even turn it into a rocker chic line too. Who said sex and drugs wasn't glamourous? Depends on who you are I guess.

View the whole collection below:



Nice runway design by the way!

What did you think about Perfection? Perfect?

Stardoll Fashion Week Day 2: Runway Magazine

Earlier today during Stardoll Fashion Week, Editor-in-Chief Vasia28 debuted a brand-new issue of Runway Magazine and I am not too sure that I'm 'digging' it.



I couldn't really focus on the models or Covergirl because I was captivated by what they were wearing. I wasn't impressed. I love the idea of peace and fashion mixed together, but something just doesn't seem right to me. It seems almost too cheap.

I do applaud the team for taking part is this amazing fashion-packed week - but I honestly did expect more from this issue. Maybe more fashion? Also, when I was reading the article, 'Life in Dollywood'... I was easily and quickly uninspired by the fact that it read, "without the limitations the real world, anything is possible". (referring to Stardoll) What a bunch of bull, way to encourage everyone. Listen, let me break this down a little bit.

Effort wise: amazing work!
Professionally dedicated: not impressed.

It's simple and it's my opinion. What's yours?

Stardoll Fashion Week Kicks Off!

If you didn't already know, one of the most anticpated Stardoll events of the year is currently taking place! Stardol Fashion Week has officially begun. Although the event itself is amazing, I really want to focus on the talent that you can find within the brand...

You know, the actual fashion.

(Below is the schedule):

















I understand that the image is a little small, making it somewhat hard to read. Bare with me! There is only one thing I have a problem with the fact that all the media partners are included except for a select few. We are basically publishing the same thing that bigger blogs have previously. Over, and over, and over again.

Too bad I have an opinion, my reviews will be released as soon as I check out the collections. Tyler's Top Trends will have a full coverage support system. Stay tuned!

SFW Release Exclusive Spoiler!

I am LOVING this. Mary, you did an excellent job designing that dress. In case you guys are wondering, though, the dress worn on model Nicole (coconut_nicole) is a new line designed by writemarycat herself; seventy one! We are so happy to be apart of this and we cannot wait to see where it goes! Everyone give a round of applause!
