Contemporary Fashion over Practicality?

As we live in a world where technology and creativity continues to expand and grow, nothing is deemed impossible anymore. From solar energy to electric cars, we've seen an incredible increase in technology over the past century. The world is filled with a tonne of contemporary designs that we never thought would be possible. From the latest iPhone to a HD 3D television, the 21st century is also overloaded with materialistic things we just have to have.

Over the past few years, watches have become more of a materialistic object rather than a practical piece, with many people buying them as an accessory to add to their outfit. With many designers creating their own timepiece collections such as mens Diesel watches, buying a watch is not just about telling the time, it is also about fashion.

Take this ZIIIRO watch for example. It offers a much bespoke display with an appealing colour that is created using two transparent coloured discs. This wristwatch blends together the hours and minutes to provide a unique reading. Granted, it will take a bit of time to get use to it but nevertheless, the watch looks extremely cool and is worth the confusion.

Lady Gaga launched New Perfume

Lady Gaga is known for always being full of surprises. She never stops at reinvented herself.  It’s not only her style that she plays around with but also her business ventures. She never stops short of coming up with new and innovative ideas. She has previously ventured out into the world of fashion. She launched a fashion line for children that have been very popular. The fashion line for the kids is called Gaga Goo Goo. It has designed out of the ordinary styles for kids.  Her venture into fashion has been with her sister, Natali Germanotta.  Natali Germanotta is a young fashion designer growing with each passing year.



Her recent venture has been the launch of a new perfume. There was a lot of speculation surrounding her latest venture. This idea had been in the running for almost two years now. It is after a long time that it will be reaching its fulfillment.  Initially it was rumored that the name of her perfume would be Monster. However, it has recently been revealed that in reality the name of the much awaited fragrance would be “Fame”. She let her fans know this detail through a social media website. The name is quite befitting if we take into account the success of the Queen of Music.  Now there is just a few more months of waiting that needs to be done. The perfume Fame is all set to be introduced into the market in September. Back in 2010 Lady Gaga had described the perfume in peculiar terms. She has said that it would carry the scent of blood and semen. However, now she has denied that and has revealed the true smell of the perfume. It will consist of the scent of many natural ingredients combined. These include honey drops, saffron, apricot and Tiger Orchidia. The description given by Lady Gaga in a tweet has sure left all of us intrigued. The Perfume would resemble a thick black liquid. But once sprayed it will become invisible. In this sense it will parallel the style of Lady Gaga, which like the perfume is out of the ordinary, Lady Gaga has said that Fame will be like “a beautiful prospect with a dark heart”.  The bottle has been designed by Nick Knight. Nick Knight had been the director of Gaga’s “Born this Way” music video. The advertisement for Fame has been directed by another man who has also previously worked closely with Gaga, Steven Klein. Steven Klein was the man behind the “Alejandro” music video.
