..and the winner is!

As a team we are proud to introduce to everyone to our contest winner Ms. Rodica Cocieru!
Rodica did an amazing job submitting her application to us via email and impressed us with the shoots she sent in! However, that does not mean the rest of the submissions we got were not good either, they were all fun to read and so much to pick from! We just want to thank everyone who entered to win the contest to become The Wild Call Next Top Model! We all had a ball shooting this on set. Everyone participated equally and we all had some laughs! Special thanks go out to the one and only photographer my good friend Raquel Da Silva who may I say did a heck of a great job! And of course to our make up artist and hair dresser who applied a soft look on Rodica for this shoot, Ms. Cailtin Andrew.

You can see more of the shoots on Raquel Da Silva's website and just remember these shoots are also part of The Material World blog so keep an eye open there as well!

As for now, maybe next month or so we'll have another contest who knows, be ready girls or I might even let boys enter this time too! Mhh til next time ciaos!

Suede Moccasins!

For those who have been waiting patiently for the results to our last fashion poll, I have great news for you! The answers are in! 50 - 50 decided to vote for the Gucci hang bag and accessories but unfortunately the correct answer is............ The Suede Moccasins!

History.
Gucci was funded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci and was expended into a boutique in Rome in 1938. As a fellow designer in charge of running his business and he was also responsible for all the company's products such as Gucci's well known bamboo handle hang bag which continues to be the company's mainstay, meaning best seller. However, within the late 1950s, Gucci developed their biggest trademark yet, the suede moccasins which were wrapped with a metal horsebit.

Til this day Gucci still remains to be the biggest leather selling company in Europe! Not mention the rest of the world as well!

Welcome to Fall 1980

With Fall right around the corner and summer finally ending, yes I said finally, I can not wait to go shopping for my new Fall clothes. This means I have to start cleaning out my closet and make room for my new items! However, I feel that with this season coming many of you will be asking, "What's hot and what's NOT?" Well, lately I have been inspired to re-create my look to fit a more unique style. For instance, this fall I will try my best to enforce more 80's style to my wardrobe. Check out some ideas I have in mind:

Harem Pants: Hot or Not?

Finally, your question has been addressed! We've recently received an e-mail asking what our opinion on Harem pants was. Are they hot or are they not? and how to wear them. First, let me start off by shedding a little insight on these crazy pants! The "Harem Pant" also known as "Parachute Pants" and most famously "Hammer Pants" due to the increased popularity in the late 80's made by MC Hammer, are baggy long pants which are tapered at the ankle with side flaps and an elastic waist. The legs are fitted from the knee down while the crotch area is baggy as if it were cut to be a skirt. They can be very large with a spacious and roomy fit. The Summer 09' staple have replaced your everyday pair of slacks; adding style, comfort and a bit of funk!


Personally, I love these pants! I can't get enough of them. Even though every time I wear them to work I get loads of criticism and jokes thrown at me with names like "MC Hammer or My Grandma" I continue to wear them proud! Now just like any other piece of clothing, it's all about confidence! Since these are more than what you usually bargain for, they do take some getting used to. But trust me- once you put these on…you won't want to take them off! I usually wear them dressed up for work, pairing my black ones with a floral tank top, a grey blazer and wedges, or with a funky graphic belly top which stops right where the pants start on my waist. If your looking for something more casual, I'd try a beige colour pant (H&M) with a white v-neck tucked in to see how high the waist is, layered with a denim button up thrown on top and a brown flat to finish it off. However whether your looking to wear them in your workplace, for a night out or even just for everyday...their yours to make!
Heres a couple of examples of Me, Gaby & a couple of celebs and how we wear our Hammer Pants!

Hopefully I've made it possible for you to embrace these daring pants and you too can make them apart of your closet!

Show off Some Sexuality Through Clothing

Black remains classic but any color dress/top paired with your favorite shoes should do the job right!

Many designers seem to compare music with fashion and most feel inspired at their work when listening or watching music videos. For instance, Lady Gaga and Rihanna never seem to fail when appearing at award shows or filming a video.

Cutaway trend has been introduced to help embrace the woman's body and show off her curves in a very high fashion level. It is considered sexual or sensual fashion.
