fashion legend: 10.viviene westwood
Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE, RDI (born 8 April 1941) is a British fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream.
The English Punk style began to gain attention when the Sex Pistols wore clothes from Westwood and McLaren's shop at their first gig. The "punk style" included BDSM fashion, bondage gear, safety pins, razor blades, bicycle or lavatory chains on clothing and spiked dog collars for jewelry, as well as outrageous make-up and hair. Essential design elements include the adoption of traditional elements of Scottish design such as tartan fabric. Amongst the more unusual elements of her style is the use of historical 17th and 18th century cloth cutting principles, and reinterpreting these in, for instance, radical cutting lines to mens trousers. Use of these traditional elements make the overall effect of her designs more shocking. Other influences in Westwood's work have included Peru, the feminine figure, velvet and knitwear.
Westwood and McLaren worked together to revolutionize fashion and their impact is still strongly felt today. Westwood has five exclusively-owned shops; three in London, one in Leeds, and one in Milan. Franchise stores are located in Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, three in Manchester and most recently, in FH Mall, Nottingham (20 March 2008), and in Blake Street, York (11 September 2008). Westwood's themes have included Savage (1981), Hobo and Buffalo (1982), and Pirate. Her latest collection was themed "Gold and Treasure, Adventure and Exploration".complete info click herecomment: i like her designs,since its very expressive,the true artist,next to coco chanel as my favorite designer.

my life in fashion:12.in the half way
i've never thought to decide things in life would be such a great confusion for me.i don't know whether i was bored or tired or blank,but surely i haven't been in such high spirited life to do things lately.i was trying some other fields which unknown for me before,but i was too scared to keep on walking and find out a little bit more.
i've tried to discover my own long lost hobbies and try to make it as a job but,so far it hasn't gave me any good result after several tests.i've also tried writing and came up with some idea to build it into one storyline,either its for novel,comic or simply one short story,but then again, the unconfident mental of mine has successfully prevented me from make those ideas into reality.
in the end i'm only wondering up in my room thinking and has never stopped doing it until now, what is the best thing to do?i know that the safest way would be to stick around in this type of job that i've been doing for like more than 10years,but it has brought me nothing but emptiness,since i have lost the excitement from long ago and that im tired being betrayed by people around me.although i can never stopped thanking my superior for still giving me such opportunity and time to let me think whats the best thing to do in the near future.please God show me Your miracle once more and guide me to the best way...

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.[1][2]
After recording two private EPs and a demo CD named Origin, with the help of Bigwig Enterprises in 2000, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards.[3] A year later, Evanescence released their first live album, Anywhere but Home, which sold more than one million copies worldwide.
