We had a little fun playing around with playsuits in the office… In this installment of Get That Look!, we found photos of celebrities from the street to the red carpet wearing daring rompers and styled our own in nearly identical ModCloth garments! Looking lively in her black romper, opaque tights, and contrasting heels, our model gives Blake a run for her money!

Romper, onesie, one-piece, jumpsuit, jumper, barboteuse, or playsuit? There may be a debate about how to classify these one-piece wonders, but one thing is for sure: they are one versatile, trendy piece that is here to stay!

The romper craze has been spotted all over the globe from street styles to a variety of celebrities that includes Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley, Ashley Olsen, and Rihanna! With the allure of knocking an outfit out with one garment instead of two (such as wearing a tee and shorts), the recent re-invention of the romper provides us with a fresh new look and a playful alternative to the dress. Take a look below to see how our stylist, Vasil, has put together four different outfits incorporating rompers, in addition to giving his own styling advice and commentary on how to rock the romper!

Back in January, Vasil predicted the style trends that would rule 2009.  Have you been seeing a shift in style towards looks defined by earthy colors, ruffles, silhouette-defining belts,  and mixed patterns in the last couple of months? We certainly have! Here are our favorite trend-based looks for this summer!

• Mixing solid colors with light prints adds interest and fun to your outfits, like in Berry Cobbler. This accessorized two-pieced ensemble makes you appear perky and fun.

• In terms of color, Vasil predicted a domination of earthy and muted tones, primarily light beiges, pinks, and nudes: along with bold color accents. The light pink of  Tier-amisu makes the outfit appear fresh and feminine, but the oversized bag is perfect for the girl with a lot on her plate and a lot to carry with her!

Wedding Style Tip: Remember to consider the tone and location of the wedding when you’re choosing an outfit. For a country club or evening reception, something like Tux Goes Lux Dress paired with an evening bag is a good pick, but for a daytime affair, the more casual, but still stunning Reflection Pool Dress, paired with vibrant wedges is a better choice. Which look do you like best?

It’s no secret that the fashion industry is influenced by its surrounding society. Those of us in the Western hemisphere can usually detect style inspirations rooted in our own culture, but fashion trends are also influenced by cultures that aren’t always on our radar. This week, Vasil shows us how certain influences from his region of the world have trickled onto the runways in recent years.

It must be the case that Paris is not only the capital of high fashion, but also the place to see great street style. Today’s style comes from Adeline R.; the combination of multiple layers of clothes and necklaces, oversized scarves, and ripped shorts is what caught my attention and makes the outfit super trendy and yet unique.

Margo, an 18-year-old Russian spotted on  lookatme.ru is my style inspiration today. The mixture of diverse materials in her outfit, such as tulle, leather, and liquid spandex, makes the ensemble trendy and unique. Despite the classiness of black and white, the combination can be easily overdone. However, this look avoids color simplicity. The look is trendy, edgy, fun, youthful, and showcases attitude.

Check in all week for Vasil’s favorite street styles!

Today’s style inspiration comes from Anne-Solange, 30-year-old writer and journalist from the fashion capital-Paris! The outfit caught my attention due to its combination of menswear characteristics and feminine look. With the couple of floral and bright accents, Anne’s look represents spring and speaks comfort, personal style, and Parisian city-girl beauty.

[Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, Versace for Absolut, 1997]

Everyone can probably recall a “favorite” advertising campaign, commercial or photo spread. Stylists, photographers, and marketing teams work hard to create ads that are resonant and powerful, using success stories as inspiration. This week, I sat down with ModCloth stylist, Vasil, to discuss his favorite ad campaign and inspiration of all-time: Versace-Absolut, 1997.

< ![endif]–>

Around the time of Gianni Versace’s death,  Donatella Versace led one of the most memorable fashion ad campaigns. Directed by Goran Dahlstrom, the Versace-Absolut campaign featured supermodels Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Mark Findlay. Vasil says he chose this campaign as his favorite “not only because it features some of my favorite models and designers, but also because it combines advertising, fashion, creativity, and beauty in one.” Vasil added, “Many of us do not realize how much time, planning, and effort goes into creating a campaign that stands out and makes history.” Read the rest of this entry »
