Try Messy, Classic Look: French Hairstylist

The clean cut is not stylish, says well-known french hairstylist Laurent Decreton, who considers older indian women should not shy away from trying a messy or classic look. He also designate that brides be more daring by using stylish hairstyles for their D-day.

Decreton, who himself sports very short hair, told IANS: "I think women should try new fashionable styles and try things out with hairdos. Hairstyles in indian are very official. It should not be that official. I feel it's simply young girls who are playing with hair in india."

The superstar stylist, known for his modern-day cuts and styling, has a variety of skill - be it working on top models and superstars like Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni, Emmanuelle Beart and footballer Robert Pires or collaborating with fashion shows by Chanel, Yves Saint-Laurent and Jean-Paul Gautier.

Decreton, who has been regularly visiting to indian in the past 12 years, said: "It's not required to have a clean hairdo. I think people here (India) don't try the messy or usual look, mainly mature women.

"I've been observing indian faces and their hairstyle for long time. One thing that is really missing is that indian women don't focus on the sides of the head though making hairstyles.

"The front will look nice if you freeze the edges, which mainly Indians don't do. as well, they should be cautious for the side hair for carrying out and to make it usual.

Decreton is the creative brand ambassador of L'Oreal Professional and a member of the Haute Coiffure Francaise innovative team. He was here to reveal seven wedding looks (hairstyles) under the concept - Royal Wedding Collection of L'Oreal Professional.

Huaraches - The Sandals That Made Mexico Famous.

You know I love me some ads, but this has to be one of my favorites ever. From Glamour Magazine, April of 1943 this ad is for Huaraches "for every precious playtime hour" to be ordered from The Old Mexico Shop which was in business in Santa Fe till 2009.
Don't miss the ad copy here. It's an example of fine advertising at it's best. Just remember For "Huaraches, "just say "Wah-rah'-chez".

When the postman delivers your pair of these famous imported sandals you'll begin to enjoy new sensations in real foot ease and comfort, and new pride in wearing something so truly original and handmade. The weavers of our STEERHIDE HUARACHES never repeat a pattern, and this is something that can be said of no other sandal in the world. It is a tribute to the Indian sandal-maker and to the good taste of the wearer.
The Indian Huaracheros use real leather only, honest leather that nature, and the backs of their own tough oxen, gave them. Unpolished and undyed, it has a beautiful light beige tone that turns deeper with wear. (Actual color photo.)
A product of the hot, rough country of southern Mexico, they are reinforced for rough going, and air conditioned against summer's heat.
The Steerhide that gives them stamina also gives YOU comfort, for the soft, fresh feet of supple leather thongs relaxes tired feet as nothing else can.
For "Huaraches, "just say "Wah-rah'-chez"

Custom Scarfs - 1947 Cover Girl Fashions

These beauties were from Custom Scarfs Inc. in New York (215 West 40th Street if that means anything to anybody). They were also known as Wesley Simpson Custom Scarves. He was very a very influential designer of textiles, and was married to Adele Simpson. He commissioned famous artists and designers of the day for his scarves and other printed fabrics.

In searching this company I found that Linus Pauling bought 2 scarves and one stole (he wrote a check). And there is another ad here from the Miami News.

I wish we could see these clearer, or better yet, see them in person. It wouldn't it be great to match the scarfs with the designers? Any guesses?
