</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Carine Roitfeld, "editrix" of fashion industry bible <em>VOGUE Paris</em>, has announced her resignation from the publication in January 2011. Under Roitfeld's leadership, <em>VOGUE Paris</em> became a) a worldwide phenomenon, and b) like her, in the words of <a href="http://nymag.com/fashion/08/spring/44215/"><em>New York Magazine</em></a> "which is to say svelte, tough, luxurious, and wholeheartedly in love with dangling-cigarette, bare-chested fashion."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><em> </em>Roitfeld, famed for her long, swingy hair and kohl-rimmed eyes, has <em>indeed</em> been copied relentlessly by fashionistas. Her bad girl, devil-may-care look goes completely with her opposition to France's smoking ban, disregard for alienating mainstream magazine readers, and penchant for fur coats. Roitfeld's personal life, full of social connections with "it-girls" (including Charlotte Gainsbourg and Clémence Poésy) and party-hopping, has also frequently been in the topic of conversation. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides working at <em>VOGUE Paris</em>, Roitfeld famously served as a stylist and muse for Tom Ford, when he worked at both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. She is also well-known for her styling work with photographer and close friend Mario Testino. Roitfeld has in fact declared her intent to work on "personal projects" afer her departure from the magazine...perhaps Testino will offer his assistance. Regardless, Scarlet Style offers its bittersweet <em>adieu</em> to the style maven. For more of Roitfeld, you can check out the CNN documentary on her below. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

But who wants to be limited to the usual crew of firefighters and nurses? Scarlet Style offers some fashionable alternatives from our favorite films for those who dare to stand out in the crowd.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>1. <strong>Rachel<em>, </em></strong>played by Sean Young in <em>Blade Runner</em> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Rachel, a human-type robot known as a replicant, completely owns the retro-futuristic style of Ridley Scott's <em>Blade Runner</em>. To channel her neo-<em>femme fatale </em>look, don a black dress with heavy shoulder pads and put your hair back in a prim bun. To finish the look, carry a cigarrette holder and wear heavy red lipstick. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

2. <strong>Marie Antoinette<em>, </em></strong>played by Kirsten Dunst in the film of the same name <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Marie Antoinette was the original material girl--her penchant for dresses, shoes, and wigs was extraordinary. While this costume requires extra effort (a dress and powdered wig), Rutgers is sure to be in awe of you. Another idea is to gather several friends to also dress in period costume, to serve as the "royal court."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>3. <strong>Patricia<em>, </em></strong>as played by Jean Seberg in <em>Breathless</em> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For a more easygoing costume, adopt the <em>joie de vivre</em> of Patricia, the female lead in Jean-Luc Godard's New Wave film <em>Breathless</em>. Patricia's style is easygoing as she and boyfriend Michel are on the run from the cops. All you need is a pair of dark skinny pants, flats, and a tee shirt which bears the logo of the <em>New York Herald Tribune </em>(available online). Easy, <em>non?</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TMka-9r8fiI/AAAAAAAAATg/PrmAYPP9yoA/s1600/trinity.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" nx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TMka-9r8fiI/AAAAAAAAATg/PrmAYPP9yoA/s320/trinity.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/">Image Source</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">4. <strong>Trinity</strong>, as played by Carrie-Anne Moss in <em>The Matrix</em> trilogy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For those who want a "tougher" Halloween costume, consider the style of Trinity. The badass from the future wears black like its going out of style, often in the form of leather and PVC. To replicate her look, simply don an all-black, leather-heavy ensemble, slick your hair back, and sport a pair of sunglasses. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

As part of our organization's mission, Scarlet Style aims to find and interview creative-minded Rutgers students who have an avid interest in fashion. Monica Lee, a senior at Rutgers, spends her spare time designing and creating clothes for herself and her friends. We can't thank her enough for creating time out of her busy schedule to have an email correspondence with us. <i>Check out the interview below!</i><br />
<br />
<b>1. How did you first become interested in fashion design?</b><br />
<br />
I first became interested in fashion design because my mom sewed a lot, so I started to make purses at a young age. Then, at school, someone stole the first purse that I made. Upset but determined, I wanted to make purses and other things that were different and personalized to my style so that if they ever wore it, I would know I made it. That event evolved into my passion for design, creativity, and a more distinct style.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. What items or pieces of clothing are your favorite to make?Why?</b><br />
<br />
I think dresses and tops are my favorite to make. Tops are fun because many times, I like to be environmentally friendly, and grab clothes that I already have and make a new top out of it. Dresses are fun to create because they are nice to wear and the fact that dresses can change from casual to sophisticated with a different material.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TJag5DWSOfI/AAAAAAAAASc/GH7LDEFvkJU/s1600/blog+131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TJag5DWSOfI/AAAAAAAAASc/GH7LDEFvkJU/s400/blog+131.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<b>3. Where do you find the inspiration for your pieces?</b><br />
<br />
I think people and fashion are the usual inspiration for my pieces. I was recently inspired by a friend because he was fascinated that I could create clothing. That motivated me to create a summer dress and a tube top over the summer. In general, my family is inspirational because they always motivate me to be creative, productive, and to have fun. Fashion is also a factor because many times I would find something I like in a store, or online. Because the price is too high or I don't feel like spending the money, I'd take that piece as an inspiration and go out to buy something to similarly replicate it.<br />
<br />
<b>4. What do you plan to do in the future with your talent for design?</b><br />
<br />
I'd love to start my own business maybe with accessories in the future, and maybe branch out into clothes. But for right now, I'm using it to give back to the community. I'm going to show my pieces at a charity benefit concert/fashion show this fall semester that is sponsored by my club organization, Unite for Sight.<br />
<br />

How do you feel about fashion at Rutgers? What would you like to see happen?</b><br />
<br />
I feel that fashion at Rutgers is very diverse. I think it's great that there are so many different styles at this school. I would like to see more people who design their clothes make it public to the Rutgers community so that everyone can appreciate it and maybe get inspired.<br />

With the first day of classes a mere few weeks away, the time for back-to-school shopping has arrived. But with so many new trends and popular items crowding the shelves of stores nationwide, it becomes difficult to stay in your budget especially after splurging on your summer wardrobe. And what are you going to do with all those new summer clothes you just bought two weeks ago? You surely can't afford to just put them away and buy a whole fall wardrobe, especially on a student's allowance. Don't start stressing yet though because <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Scarlet Style</span> as always is here to provide <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">you</span> with a practical(and chic!) solution.<br /><br />Here are some pictures and tips on how you can incorporate your summer fashion into your autumn style.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Summer dresses</span>-<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> </span>Light, airy dresses are a must for summer, but they can also be worn in the colder temperatures with cute wintry accessories.

Now try adding <em>fashion designer</em> on top of all of that! May Chiu, a Rutgers University sophomore, creates adorable and chic clothing, jewelry, and hair accessories in her spare time under the name, The Mayflower Fashions. Scarlet Style engaged in an e-mail correspondence with May, asking for the scoop.<br /><br /><strong>1. How'd you get interested in fashion design?</strong><br /><br />When I entered middle school, I learned about the social hierarchy of cliques and how discriminating they could be. You were not considered "cool" unless you dressed a certain way and wore a certain brand. Of course, this infuriated me. I could not be accepted unless I conformed! So, I enrolled in weekend class at the Fashion Institute of Technology, determined to learn how to sew. After the first class, I fell in love with sewing and started designing in a sketchbook.<br /><br /><strong>2. What are your favorite things to create? What sort of challenges do you face as a college student/fashion designer?</strong><br /><br />Dresses and skirts! For some reason, I feel that those are the two clothing items that reveal most about someone's personality. One challenge is time management! I'm taking a huge course load next year and I have extracurriculars as well! I also plan on opening another Etsy shop in August that sells graphic tees for everyone. And because there's so much going on, I have to learn to be neat and organized, two things I'm usually not. And finally, as a student, I face a lot of repetition. There's a schedule that keeps repeating itself for a period of time, and I follow it because, well, I have to! But at times, doing the same thing every day or every week can actually dull my creativity and prevent me from designing more. I normally get inspiration from the things I see, and if I see the same thing over and over again, it won't help me find new ideas!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TCdjs1wEg1I/AAAAAAAAAQU/8i7lLLF1lq0/s1600/May+bow+necklace.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487464292968334162" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TCdjs1wEg1I/AAAAAAAAAQU/8i7lLLF1lq0/s400/May+bow+necklace.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;">May's bow necklace can be purchased </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/49066754/fabric-bow-necklace/"><span style="font-size:78%;">here.</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span><br /><strong>3. Who are your favorite designers?<br /></strong><br />Hmmm, let's see. First off, Leanne Marshall. She has topped my list when I saw her final collection on Project Runway. Her looks seem really simple and effortless until you look closer and notice how much detail she puts into them. I also like how she can create textures. She said her inspiration was waves for her collection, and you can easily see the connection. My second favorite is Halston. My tagline is "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" and Halston fits it perfectly. I admire them for making simple dresses that can still make a statement! My other favorite designs are Elie Saab, Marchesa, Lorick, Luella Bartley, Tara Jarmon and Lela Rose. </div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>4. What has provided a recent source of inspiration for you?<br /></strong><br />Most of my summer collection on Etsy is based on what I see in the spring/summer. Gardens filled with flowers inspired <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43253888/a-field-of-flowers-skirt">this</a>, my garden full of roots and vines inspired <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/48043887/white-tulle-vineyard-skirt">this</a>, and the way the wind blows through dresses inspired this:<br /><br /></div><p align="justify"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TCdjnMquf8I/AAAAAAAAAQM/JMp0PKNjfls/s1600/ruffle+mini+may.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487464196040720322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/TCdjnMquf8I/AAAAAAAAAQM/JMp0PKNjfls/s400/ruffle+mini+may.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> May's cream tiered ruffle mini skirt can be purchased </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/45967056/cream-ruffled-tiered-mini-skirt"><span style="font-size:78%;">here</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">.</span> </p><p align="justify"><strong>5. How do you hope your collections will change in the future?</strong><br /><br />As I keep designing and creating, I hope my view of fashion becomes clearer and more pronounced. When I first started, it was a bit of a disjunct. I had a general idea, but it wasn't fully developed and seen by others. Hopefully, for my future collections, a viewer can look at my work and know exactly what my inspiration was and what I'm trying to say.<br /><br /><strong>6. How do you feel about fashion at Rutgers? Is there a community? What would you like to see happen?<br /></strong><br />Rutgers is a HUGE school. I haven't seen everyone, so I can't say for sure if there is a community or not, but I have seen a few people who are very stylish and fashionable. And Scarlet Style has helped me meet a few more! From what I see, I like the fashion at Rutgers. Mostly everyone dresses very casual, in a t shirt and jeans or sweats. I'm a big fan of that since college started actually. There's nothing better than rolling out of bed and going to class!<br /><br />I have no idea what I want to see happen. I definitely think that more participation from other fashionistas out there is needed though. </p><p align="justify"><em>We can't thank May enough for willing to participate in this interview!

But model-cum-director Marco Wilms remembers differently. His documentary <em>Comrade Couture (A Dream in Strawberry Foil)</em>, reflects on the outrageous and avant-garde fashion scene that he and his friends participated in during their 20s.</span><br /><br /></div><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(84,85,101) 6px double; TEXT-ALIGN: center; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(84,85,101) 6px double; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 285px; BORDER-TOP: rgb(84,85,101) 6px double; BORDER-RIGHT: rgb(84,85,101) 6px double" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464274031716391186" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKMMkXZNEJo/S9UAR-fY2RI/AAAAAAAAAN4/3KI1Dz0ZF6k/s400/comrade-couture_large.jpg" /> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.glasgowfilmfestival.org.uk/films/0000/0689/comrade-couture_large.jpg"><span style="font-size:78%;">Image Source</span></a><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;">In East Germany, there were two main groups--Allerleirauh (All Kinds of Fur) and Chic, Charmant und Dauerhaft (Stylish, Charming, and Enduring). Both groups would put on elaborate underground fashion performances, featuring outfits made of strawberry foil (as seen above), shower curtains, leather, and burlap. Members of this community often faced trouble from the Stasi, for being perceived as threatening and anti-Communist. </span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;">The film offers an fascinating glance into an outrageous, hilarious, and altogether stylish subculture. It also serves as a commentary on aging and remaining interested in the fashion industry as a generation of models, designers, and artists enters its 40s. <em>Comrade Couture</em> is being screened at <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/9224">MOMA</a> this month, as part of the museum's "Kino 2010!: New Films from Germany" festival.
