CLU began humbly. Having moved to Los Angeles, the duo immediately began sewing away, creating a collection that reflected the laid-back, easy-going lifestyle of their new home. Soon after, however, they wanted to take the look to new heights of sophistication and innovation, striving to create haute-couture for the t-shirt. This first collection was presented to Ron Herman, which they bought, to a very enthusiastic response. Everyone is starting to catch on to them, both in and outside the industry—they’re no longer an insider’s secret. CLU can now be found hanging next to such high-end designer collections as Rochas, Comme des Garcons, and Balenciaga. CLU is hardly your traditional t-shirt.

Derby University Model Clothes 2005
University of Derby BA (Hons) Fashion Studies student Hannah Hoyle has been named as the Student Young Designer of the Year at the Clothes Show – and her work was inspired by Marilyn Monroe.
Hannah clinched the prestigious award today at the NEC in Birmingham – successfully beating nine other finalists. Fellow Derby student Sarah Maguire, also made it to the national final. The show is one of Europe’s biggest fashion events.
It was a fantastic achievement for both, as Hannah and Sarah had already beaten 300 other contenders to get to the national contest with the theme of ‘Icons’.
Final year student Hannah Hoyle, 22, from Hollesley Road, Alderton, Woodbridge, has been inspired by Marilyn Monroe for her creation. Her work was also inspired by Andy Warhol’s work.

The Paris Top Three Spring 2008 Collections and Pictures
There was a fun pajamas party at Stella McCartney. Her latest collection showed pretty and wearable clothes in a very laid-back, signature style with a smart adjustment of the season's trends: flowing seventies (again, seventies!) flower printed silk dresses and jumpsuits, blue silk “pajamas” tops or shirtdresses. There were also sweet little ruffled “nightgowns” and fluid trousers worn with white and khaki blazers.
Sonia Rykiel is one of the first names that come in my mind when I think of French designers. Her show is always a happy moment of Paris fashion week. Look no further for flirty frocks: la petite robe noir, daisy-print chiffon or polka dots tulle dresses came along with Rykiel signature pieces: bell sleeve flare spring coats, jumpsuits, cardigans, sweater dresses, velvet suits and frocks and fine knits, all in a flavored palette from vanilla to saffron to cognac.
Christian Dior's 60th birthday celebration showed more of the practical, commercial side of this label but that doesn’t minimize Galliano’s genius. The theme was an overview of twenties-through-forties styling and there was pinstripe three-piece suits, white-tie tailcoats, forties bold-shouldered jackets and trenches, jazz-age chiffon and thirties satin dresses. The style journey arrived to present fashion with modern touches like softer laid-back tailoring, zebra and leopard print and those adorable handbags.

More Pictures of Alberta Ferretti Spring 2009 Collections
Following the very flamboyant opening of the Dior Cruise 2009, with the collection by John Galliano, it was Alberta Ferretti’s turn to take on the ramp. She took a different approach to vacation dressing keeping to the typical cruise favourites and pretty feminine clothing. You can expect to see a lot of linen fabric as the collection is inspired by the sea and cruise type colours featuring basics such as striped sweaters, navy pea coats, cuffed walking shorts, pleated miniskirts, and shorts, straight-necked tops and shirtdresses exposing plenty of leg. Although this collection is designed to be worn on a luxurious cruise ship it has proven to be chic enough for the hot city streets.
For the evening she incorporated plenty of signature floaty cocktail dresses made from soft chiffon featuring thin belts, drop waists, little satin heeld, and a beautiful Grecian gown to keep with the theme of her 2008 spring summer collection.
With her continuous remarkable collections it is no wonder why Alberta Ferretti is as the top of prefered red-carpet-designers among the celebrities.

Alberta Ferretti Spring-Summer 2009, Collection Pictures
At her best, Alberta Ferretti does pretty in a way every woman can get. It's not a collection that should cause anyone to get hung up on concept or theme, or—in this case—fuss too much over the fact that the intellectual link between "Grecian" and "flapper" is, to put it mildly, a little tenuous. Just so long as the easy, fluttery, feminine options for evening keep coming, Ferretti gets an unspoken pass. This season, within two or three outfits, it was clear she was keeping up her end of the bargain.
Vertical, tiered fringing that suggested Fortuny pleating introduced the show, swiftly followed by one of Ferretti's signature whipped-around twirls of chiffon. The Greek-nymph side of the collection may be a reprise of her hits from last Spring, but no harm in that: Ferretti's signature way of draping a georgette dress can be gorgeous, and especially so when left to speak for itself—sans accessories—with flat sandals. Having established that, she wove in a series of short charmeuse cocktail dresses with Jazz Age tassels, and even something cool in the way of a dressy evening chino and a ribbon-lace capri pant. Save for a few moments when the fringe veered toward Spanish-shawl or showgirl territory, it made for a collection that will keep Ferretti's followers very happy, and likely gain her quite a few more.
