Friends of Muslim Community Center (MMC) staged a fashion show in Dallas in support of MCC community welfare and medical services, which they are providing for last 15 years to people of Dallas and its suburbs.
Funds were raised for MCC at this occasion.

Pakistan’s famous designer Hassan Shaheryar, Umar Saeed, Rani Imam, and Asim Tiwana’s designed dresses were displayed by Tooba Siddiqui and others models.

Models catwalked to display designer clothes to audience. Male models also romped the ramp along-with their female counterparts.

A large number of people from Dallas and its suburb attended this completely soldout catwalk.

New designs and modern dresses were well liked by women attendees.
The sponsors of the show Tariq Khan, Dr. Basheer, and Dr Jaleel claimed this show as a big success, as their target of $100,000 was also met.

Dr. Hassan Hashmi and Salma Hashmi donated $20,000 to this fund.

Hassan Shaheryar who came from Pakistan and Deeba who brought Rani Imams designed dresses said while talking to this correspondent that they are quite encouraged by community participation and their interest.
MCC chairman for human services Dr. Basheer Ahmad, their director Talon Thomas, and others expressed their appreciation and highlighted some of the work of MCC.
This event raised more than one hundred thousand dollars, despite being announced at a very short notice.

Doctor Hassan Hashmi and Salma Hashmi said that show was very successful and since it was for a good cause, community fully participated in this event to make it a success for which the whole community deserves praise.

Fashion reaches all demographics and touches the lives of billions around the globe everyday and The Global Fashion Association (The GFA) is at the forefront of this constantly evolving industry.

Fashion Weeks are by-invitation-only events taking place in the cultural centers of their respective countries. Our members - the owners and organizers of the highest quality Fashion Weeks from around the world - are intimately familiar with every aspect of the industry making them the foundation of the most influential network in Fashion.

The GFA Partnership Group - the team responsible for the management and growth of the association- is comprised of some of the most experienced marketing, production, sales, financial and media professionals in the Fashion industry. From our New York City headquarters we collaborate with our members around the world to shape and grow this incredible art form on both a local and international level.

Let’s see here. On Wednesday, ABS by Allen Schwartz began selling a series of royal-wedding-inspired dresses that includes a fairly good copy of the Alexander McQueen gown worn by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, for $1,100. That same night, Representative Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, reintroduced legislation seeking to grant copyright protection to designers, presumably discouraging exactly that kind of knockoff fashion. And on Friday, the Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez went to Washington to plead their case before Congress.

Do you get the feeling we’ve been down this road before?

Now five years into a campaign by the Council of Fashion Designers of America to enact some sort of protection for original designs, the proponents of such legislation say they have their best chance yet at seeing a bill become law. But it is a far cry from what they proposed in an earlier bill that was deemed too broad. After manufacturers complained that the bill could lead to frivolous lawsuits over who had what idea first, the designers agreed to a more narrow definition of what would be protected, with a very high burden of proof on the designers.

One of the biggest differences in the new bill is that designers would have to prove that a copy is “substantially identical” to their originals, rather than “substantially similar.” And they would have to prove that their designs were truly original, that the defendant’s design was an infringement and that the defendant indeed had knowledge of their work. Also, similarities in color and patterns would not count.

“It is going to be a very limited number of items that are going to be protected,” said Steven Kolb, the executive director of the fashion council.

In fact, it is difficult to imagine what exactly would be protected, though Mr. Kolb said that Kate Middleton’s wedding dress would probably be a good example, or anything you might see at the current Costume Institute exhibition of Alexander McQueen. But passage of the bill would be a symbolic victory for designers, especially those who have suffered financially by the widespread copying of their work. Cheaper versions of Proenza Schouler’s popular PS1 bag, for example, have appeared throughout the market,including at Target, where the designers once created a less expensive line.

“The passage of the bill, in many ways, would be a powerful deterrent,” Mr. Kolb said.

Mr. Schwartz doesn’t think so. Pretty much anything that is created in fashion, he argued, is the result of what is in the air, so if two people are doing the same thing, it means they are both on trend. With his red-carpet-inspired dresses, he usually makes enough small changes that it would be hard to call them identical to the original, even when they look alike.

“It’s hard to prove because it’s not the truth,” Mr. Schwartz said. “Can you imagine? These people would go around saying they made the first asymmetrical dress. It’s egocentric and it’ll never fly.”

But the designers are determined to make their case heard. Mr. Hernandez, in an e-mail, said: “We spend over $3 million to develop and produce each of our four collections. Our ability to profit from this investment is hurt when our stolen designs are in stores before we can even manufacture them ourselves.

“We understand that most of what is designed is not going to be protected,” he wrote, “but in the instances in which we and other designers come up with something unique and special, we and those designers should be able to benefit from those ideas. Our unique items are what have established Proenza Schouler’s identity. To have our creativity stolen dilutes the value of what we have worked so hard to build.”

Right at the gate entrance to the famous park, there was a big fuss. Alber Elbaz - alias a passionate fan, who was wearing a mask with the designer’s face – was collecting smiles and curiosity by offering the guests a funny welcome.
But the genuine attractions for the photographers’ cameras before the show began were Jade Jagger, Mick Jagger’s daughter, and Rosamund Pike, the British actress starring in Surrogates.
The Lanvin presentation started with the display of a huge willow planted against the setting. And, to emphasize the artistic effects, smoke and air jets were smoothly pumped giving the branches of the weeping willow a clumsy swing.
This was the ingenious mise en scène used by Elbaz to project the look for the new cold season in several stylistic moments. Stern cape coats made of fur, leather or cloth advanced gradually onto the stage followed by a crescendo of the outfits reaching their climax in an explosion of volume and colour.
The austerity of the dark colours shown in the beginning of the collection was considerably sugarcoated by the accessorizing massive floral jewellery. The conspicuous tone of the outfits was set by the overstatingly wide-brimmed hats which artfully fused the Jewish style caps with the fairytale magicians’ hats.
To the end of the défilé, Maison Lanvin surprised us with an inflow of short cocktail dresses gracefully arranged in loose folds. Showing a naked shoulder or reshaping the sleeves of the dresses by volume injections, they were ‘painted’ in colours descending from coral red and electric fuchsia to orange and mustard yellow. The elegance beyond reproach of the evening wear was paired by long leather gloves and rose-shaped bracelets. "I’ve jumped from one extreme to the other. From black to colour. From stern to loose. My finish is always colourful; I end in an optimistic tone because I myself am a very optimistic person”, Alber Elbaz said to me.
Although the theme of the collection was “Back to the Roots”, the general feeling was that Elbaz’s roots went rather for contemporariness. The glow of his clothes looked so present-day that the return to the conservative lines of the past did nothing else but stress the refined touch typical of his style.
Deeply rooted into the fashion industry for well above 100 years, Maison Lanvin convinced the guests to believe, without exception, that its show was indeed the most elegant performance witnessed on the Paris Fashion Week’s runaway. An elegance which rose above time and trends, in particular.

Koreans adore their celebrities and some ardent ones constantly try to get their hands on anything stars adorn, including clothes, cosmetics and even medical products. Smart stars not only share, but now offer their own brands.
Singer and actor Rain recently announced that he will launch his clothing line, Six to Five, next year, while pop group Wonder Girls and even comedian Park Myung-soo have come out with a cosmetic line and a hair product business, respectively.
Fashion brand Six to Five was created by Jtune Creative, an affiliate of Rain’s agency, Jtune Entertainment. Some of the company’s pieces were already presented to the public when Rain wore them at his comeback performance last month. Under the concept “intelligent vintage,” Six to Five will bring a trendier wardrobe for fans and fashion lovers.
“With an elegant and formal burgundy velvet jacket, baggy denim and long military boots, we believe Rain’s outfit portrayed our concept to the fullest. Simple and classic, but with a hint of vintage,” Lee Jong-mi from the Jtune Creative design team said.
Six to Five will officially launch its line next year with a spring and summer collection
Park Jin-young, the CEO of JYP Entertainment that once nested Rain, brought the five-member Wonder Girls to fans last year and now the girls have something to offer in return.
With the help of cosmetic line CLIO, the girls have launched a cosmetic line, Peripera Wonderline. The brand offers six different cosmetic products ― Wonder Ever Pact, Wonder BB Cream, Flash Wonder Base Wonder of Lips, Wonder Shot Blusher and Wonder Duo Mascara and Liner ― each of which the members themselves chose and designed.
“The girls participated in the whole process, from packaging designs, the products and even advertisements, despite their busy schedule,” JYP Entertainment said.
The agency added that the products are targeting young girls who want to try make-up but are cautious in using cosmetic lines that are either too expensive or too heavy to wear everyday.
Fans can find Peripera Wonderline through its Web site, www.periperashop.com .
Meanwhile, Park Myung-soo, the star comedian from the popular entertainment program “Infinity Challenge,” launched his own shopping Web site selling none other than heukchae, a powder product bald people tend to use instead of wigs. Park became the talk of the town with it, leading him to create an Internet shopping mall for men and women who are also worried about their hair lines.
The Web site www.geosungmall.com not only offers products certified by Park’s experience, but also a counseling corner where users can share their problems with a doctor and other information boards that will come in handy.
Stars jumping into their own businesses and appearing in advertisements are nothing new, but some worry about downfalls.
Kang Seung-koo, a professor of the department of media arts and sciences at Korea National Open University, said that “association” is what brings success and also failure.
“There is a gap between a certain product and the image of a celebrity. The customers think about the image of the star and then try to connect it with the product. If this is not properly done, the product is bound to fail to win the hearts of customers,” Kang told The Korea Times.
The professor also mentioned specialty and professionalism, which are key factors in starting or maintaining a business. Attracting fans with popular stars is one thing, while purchasing and using the product is another.
“In the case of Christian Dior or Benetton, the heads were already famous and talented designers and businessmen, which made their brands reliable. But if you hire a celebrity who has no knowledge or expertise in that certain area, it might bring some attention first, but some customers will start to question the quality,” he said.
The worries should help customers think again before plunging into celebrity products, and also work as a reminder for stars who are considering expanding their stardom into various areas.

Girls’ Generation and 2PM meet. Both of them have done an ad picture as models for Elite Uniform.
The concept that was shot was expressing your own style through your personality. Girls’ Generation and 2PM positioned themselves through body movement but style and comfort in their uniforms.
Girls’ Generation, who has been a model for Elite Uniform since last year, received applause from the staff for their professionalism. 2PM, who newly joined, was a bit unfamiliar but once they started shooting, they did a variety of dances to the music and became more natural in the shooting.
Park Ji Young, head of the Elite Uniform marketing team, said, “2PM, dressed up as students, moved freely in their uniforms with various dance moves,” and “Girls’ Generation gave a lively feeling to our uniform line. They give bright expressions together with 2PM, and are a picture of good health.”

The monopoly of white models on the catwalks and in the glossies over the past decade has been immovable, but many fashionistas now believe the future is Asian. As Condé Nast prepares to launch GQ China, its fourth Chinese title, and Vogue India increases its print run to 50,000 copies a month, British model scouts say a new demand for Asian talent is being created that will transform the face of fashion.
Carole White, founder of Premier Model Management, the agency that represents Naomi Campbell and Salman Rushdie's former wife, Padma Lakshmi, thinks the dominance of eastern European girls is changing.
"We are now seeing more Chinese and Japanese girls. Eastern European girls flooded the market. There are so many Russians and Ukrainians. But they are all very white and bland." Height remains a problem but, White says, "there are tall Asian girls".
Paula Karaiskos, of leading British model agency Storm Model Management, thinks that the distinct look provided by Asian models will ensure longevity and success. "The whole discussion about using more ethnic women in fashion has broadened the debate on models in fashion in general and designers are now looking for more discerning faces to front their campaigns."
Agencies expect next month's 25th London fashion week to hasten change. There was an Asian model in almost every show last February and agencies expect a marked increase in the months ahead. Most prominent were Japanese model Tao Okamoto, for Moschino, Marc Jacobs and D&G, and Chinese model Liu Wen, for Chanel, Dries Van Noten and Louis Vuitton. The UK high street has already shown signs of a changing preference, with Next deciding to use 23-year-old Anglo-Asian model, Kiren Modi, as the face of its spring line.
Leading fashion photographer Gavin Fernandes thinks it's high time Asian models took the lead. "There is a popular misconception that south and east Asian models are too bound to the principles of their parents. But those stereotypes have been broken down," he says. "Perhaps scouts just need to get better at spotting Asian talent."
The potential for stardom became evident after the "black issue" of Italian Vogue launched Jourdan Dunn into "super-modeldom": fashion bloggers now regularly refer to the "Dunn-effect". The Asian model tipped for Dunn-like hysteria is 26-year-old Lakshmi Menon, currently on show in the windows of Gap. Menon recently featured in her first US Vogue editorial and has appeared on the cover of V magazine. She modelled exclusively for Riccardo Tisci's last show. Karaiskos, whose agency represents Menon, maintains that skin colour is irrelevant: "The fact that she's Indian only makes her more interesting."
London Fashion Week's key backstage photographer, Jason Lloyd-Evans, said: "When I first did the shows about 10 years ago, Devon [Aoki] was the only Asian girl I noticed. There's now a huge presence from Korea, China and Japan.".
He predicts Okamoto will be the next big thing. "Her tomboy attitude means she is not fitting any particular typecast." She is described by White as "flavour of the month". This autumn, Okamoto is the face of Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors and has appeared recently in French and Russian Vogue.
It was the summer launch of Supermodelme.tv that gave Asian models a boost. The show, which appeared online in June, follows 10 aspiring models from Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and India as they compete for a prize of $10,000 and the chance of fame. Karen Seah, of Singapore-based media group Refinery Media, came up with the idea after witnessing "a growing market for Japanese and Chinese models".
Even so, modelling has yet to attract the same kudos in the south and east Asian communities as in the west. White says that many Asian girls view modelling as a "hobby" to pursue much later in life than their European counterparts. Ashanti Omkar, former editor of Asian lifestyle magazine Henna, says change will not happen overnight. "An increase in the number of Asian models is to be expected, but it will take time. Many young Asian girls don't think of modelling as a career."
Omkar blames their low-key private life: "Maybe they're not creating the same buzz as the Kate Mosses because they don't have the scandalous lifestyle to go with it."
Twenty years ago, supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer were as big as the brands they represented, whereas the lookalike "blank canvas" models of earlier decades threw attention back on to a generation of designers such as Gaultier, Galliano and McQueen. Now with an increasingly individual look favoured by designers, Karaiskos thinks that the distinct look offered by Asian girls is their unique selling point.
"At the moment there is a trend to book either a well known face or an übermodel – a fantastically beautiful goddess whose face is worth a thousand words and whose looks do all the communicating. For a lot of the high-end designers, the latter is more popular."
Some cynics, however, have dismissed south and east Asian models as simply a return to the "exotic". Navaz Batliwalla, a columnist for Indian Grazia, believes this concept is dated. "As the profile of Indian fashion and celebrity rises, we will embrace that culture over here. Exotic stereotyping is boring and a cliché"
In the past, Condé Nast magazines in Asia rarely used Asian girls. When Batliwalla launched Indian Grazia almost two years ago, she recalled the first shoot: "They sent three models for a casting – one Indian and two Europeans."
As White said: "Everything in fashion changes so, yes, it will change."

New York Fashion Week takes place two times in a year in Manhattan’s Bryant Park and features famous designers showcasing their collections for the upcoming season. Celebrities, models, designers and the press attend the Fashion District, partying and previewing clothes for the spring season in September and for the winter collection in February. Such fashion week gives birth to a number of supermodels. Here are some interesting news about the world super models.
Janice Dickinson, who is an American , self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel has taken her knowledge of the modeling and fashion world and opened her own modeling agency in last few months. So if you’re thinking of auditioning for Janice and if you think you have the stomach for it, then you need to learn  some key pointers to catch her eye.
Famous shows such as “America’s Next Top Model,” “Janice Dickinson’s Modeling Agency” and “Make Me a Supermodel” have increased the number of teens and young adults who crave to become super models of the world. While there are many opportunities for models around the world, few get the chance to actually be considered super models and such supemodels rules over the beauty. If you are a teen or young adult with sights set high in the modeling world than you can achieve your dreams by learning how to become a supermodel.
History is full of examples of supermodels who really took authentic steps to promote modelling. For example, America’s Christie Brinkley , admirer of France’s former leader Charles de Gaulle, was one of the best-known supermodels of the 20^th century. Bibi Russell put Bangladesh, to an obscure English-speaking country in Asia, on the map when she became one of the world’s elite supermodels in the 1970s. Mexico’s only 26-year-old Elsa Benitez, the country’s most beautiful girl since Maria “La Doña” Felix, was one of the 12 celebrities selected to be judge for the 2004 Miss Universe in Quito and she ruled the ramp for years. You asked people today to name a beautiful woman, most of them would mention someone like Tyra Banks. Enormously popular in the Americas, Europe, Japan and China, is considered one of the greatest supermodels of all times. Valeria Mazza, a tall blonde and blue-eyed model, was born in Argentina, a beauty-obsessed nation in the Americas. Since then, she is one of Argentina’s most famous women. All these models really did efforts to promote modeling.
