Charities and Fashion!
Fashion isn’t just fabric, glamour and making people look great, but it can also be an influence tool. Anyone can use the worlds love for fashion as a way to support a good cause. Many Actors, Athletes and moguls have fashion lines, or labels and many use some of the proceeds to go to their favorite charities. In January of 2008, many singers and musicians came together to Raise Aids awareness, along with H&M and the Designers against Aids and created a line of t-shirts called Fashion against Aids,The shirts where made of 100% certified organic cotton, and each piece carried a tag that read, “This might be the most important piece of clothing you’ve ever had your hands on.” Celebrities included Rihanna, Timbaland, and Good Charlotte, who all participated for free, and portions of each purchase will benefit various HIV/AIDS charities around the world. Now we may have missed out on this event but that shouldn’t stop us from creating more events like this. When people come together to support a cause good things can happen. No matter how big or small your idea is you should support it. Something that may start in your small neighborhood could possibly become a nationwide event. Maybe even global! Visit: charities.org to find a list of charities you can support in your area.

Love a Man in a suit?!
The sack suit for men
Written by Daniel P Dykes
http://www.fashionising.com/trends/b--The-sack-suit-for-men-3578.html
Those of you who have read my guide on will know that I pin the current evolution of men's tailored wear on a fusion between classic cloths and motifs, and modern cuts. Having long provided such a look across their labels, the Ralph Lauren house is expanding its suit range for Autumn / Fall 2010 with a new style of suit. A modern interpretation of a classic it is, but amongst recent suit trends you shan't find it. You see, by way of their Polo Ralph Lauren / blue label, Ralph Lauren are taking the modern sack suit to men everywhere.
In reinterpreting the sack suit Ralph Lauren are both playing to, and bucking, current men's suit trends. While releasing the suits in a two-buttoned tweed is on the money, the cut of a sack suit isn't a natural fit with the modern male silhouette - the modern suit, in traditional cloths or otherwise, favours the arguably more flattering drape and Continental suit cuts.
The Ralph Lauren label isn't, of course, the first to try to revitalise the look: Michael Kors tried the same for Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2009 on a Mad Men inspired catwalk (below). The results were varied, and the problems of the sack suit cut obvious.
