Finding your 'handwriting' in fashion is very important. It sounds daft, but your work should be instantly recognisable, yet different enough every season to keep people chomping for more. With his signature mash of textures, prints and colours, Dutch designer Michael Van der Ham has managed to achieved just this. Like slick 3D collages, his dresses are a charming mix of traditional patchwork and contemporary detailing, dovetailing sexy cocktail dresses with Grandma's pinny. It's a concept that could easily look a bit homespun and naff, but he makes it look accomplished, luxurious even. Although Michael has been making ripples in the fashion pool for a couple of seasons now, this collection has officially established him as a destination. Expect to see his dresses on a quirky rising starlet soon.

Onlookers
The designs of popular fashion designers are at the apex of the Paris Fashion Week and they are perpetually claiming the show to be the best till date. The patterns presented by all the designers are very different from each other, but they all have proved to be pleasing to the eyes of the onlookers.
Veronique Leroy
Veronique Leroy is a name who is one of the fashion giants in this elite city of the fashion trends. This French fashion designer is full of innovation and creation so much so that I think that her imagination is just ceaseless. The vast arena of styling outfits is her field of art, and n this field she has received applause because of her tremendous ability to create garments which are evergreen. Her style and designs don’t usually become outdated. They are always ‘in’.
This skilled artist is presently the Creative Director for Leonard, and I must acknowledge that she has revitalized the grand with her immense talent. All her creations look gorgeous and trendy. They are worth possessing (if you can afford them). I like the patterns that she gives to each garment. The style of each one is not elaborate or excessively detailed, but these outfits own a chic look, elegance, and are obviously trendy.
Style of the dresses
The wooden heels that the models exhibited complemented the style of the dresses, and showed her love for natural things. The bags being displayed at the show also had colorful appearance and the patterns were also too good. Just have a look at the beautiful patterns of her garments. I really adore the styles of the back portion of her outfits. They are very sensual.

Farshi Pajama
Farshi Pajama is a traditional Pakistani dress which consists of kurta, dupatta and pajama (flowing two legged skirt held by drawstrings). The, pajama falls straight to the ankles from where it starts flaring flowing abundantly onto floor. Over the time Pakistani farshi pajama have gone through various transitions from traditional to contemporary ones.
If we look into the history of farshi pajama, it was worn in the 17th and early 20th century by Muslim ladies of North India. In that era it was called, farshi gharara. The word, farshi means floor, so the trailing of pajama on the floor is referred as farshi pajama.
While walking, farshi pajama is correctly held in such a way, that a Pakistani lady carefully folds the flaring trail and holds it in her left hand keeping the right one free, it hardly trails. This Pakistani dress is usually embroidered in gold work and sterling silver wire threads.
Paris Fashion scene
It was the eminent day of 4th October, 2009, when the gala event of the Paris Fashion scene witnessed the hip style of Stella McCartney. The designs and the colors were too appropriate to be called the spring-summer collection. The colors were very relaxing and attractive. The flowing locks of the beautiful models flaunting the gorgeous dresses displayed a sense of carefree attitude and a mood for fun and frolic.
