| Oscars® 2003...
The 75th Academy Awards® from Hollywood Black, white, gold, and
basic reds and blushes characterized the somber Oscars® 2003 event.
Steve Martin's dry humor provided some relief to an otherwise awkward mood,
while the highlight of the evening was a touching anniversary video profile
of previous Oscars® winners going back 70 years. Salma Hayek was charming
in a simple black lace sleeveless blouse (see fashion sketch) with white
satin a-line skirt. Nicole Kidman won Best Actress for her role in The Hours,
as she appeared stunningly dressed in a black gown with fabric flairs. Renee
Zellweger was brilliant in a red two piece dress... more |

2002 EMMY AWARDS (54th ANNUAL) |
| Emmys
2002... The fall trends prevailed at the 2002 Emmy Awards,
as the stars sparkled down the red carpet in plunging necklines, embroidered
overlays, and chiffon and satiny dresses. The most prevalent trends were
patterned, silvery ties for the men and rich, solid jewel tones and soft
peach gowns for the women. Fashion winners included Debra Messing from Will
& Grace in a black "dominatrix" inspired gown by Michael
Kors, sparkling diamond chandelier earrings, Manola Blanik shoes, and radiant
swept-back curls (see fashion sketch), Kristin Davis of Sex and the City
in a dramatic, midnight-blue Badgley Mischka evening gown with jewel décolleté
accents and high thigh slit, radiant Alias' Jennifer Garner in a
pale-peach strapless asymmetric gown with softly gathered side ruffles and
light chiffon wrap, and award-winner Jennifer Aniston of Friends looking
ethereal in a peach vintage-inspired formal dress with a sparkling, deep
v-neckline and long chiffon wrap. |

OSCARS® AND AWARDS |
| Oscars® 2002
... The 74th Academy Awards® from the
Kodak Theatre in Hollywood Oscars® fashion for 2002 was conservative
and glamorous, acknowledging the tragic events of September 2001 while forging
ahead with world-class entertainment and style. Oscars® is watched by
"a billion people," as one overwhelmed winner stammered, and Hollywood
was dressed for the occassion both on the Red Carpet
and in the Show. Fashion highlights: The women wore lots of black gowns,
mostly strapless and/or sheer, and the men were also donned mainly in black
tuxedos. Renee Zellweger, Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts, and Marcia
Gay Harden wore black, while Halle Berry, who won Best Actress for Monster's
Ball, wore cranberry with sheer and leaf appliques, Nichole Kidman wore
pale pink, and Sissy Spacek broke ranks with a suit jacket combination.

Formalwear Winter/Spring 2002 New Commitments bring New Style...
Perhaps no formalwear season of the last 30 years is more important to the
fashion industry than the Year 2002 season - designers, retailers, and boutiques
anticipate a surge of special occassion shopping as American consumers reaffirm
their commitment to family, community, and charity through weddings and
events. The New
Fashion Values of 2002 have already influenced formalwear styles for
prom dresses, bridal
gowns and bridesmaid dresses,
and special occassion
evening gowns.
The first influence is the highlighted bodice; designers this season are
placing more emphasis on fitted shapes with striking color and embroidery
or ornaments. In our cover shot from Macy's Passport '01, Jessica
McClintock's fairy green, plunging v-neck gown is crisply molded and
matched to the extravagant floral inlay of the skirt. Also shown is the
deep backline and decorative mosaic design of another Jessica McClintock
creation. With the globalization
of fashion trends, simplifying and highlighting the bodice in formalwear
designs broadens the designer's reach across clutural expectations.
The second influence is the bold feminine shape; designers are using sheath,
trumpet,
princess,
mermaid,
and a-line
styling to create curvy dresses, many with corseted or structured undergarments,
reasserting the womanly look in this season's formal line. Gone are the
demure straight silhouettes and the tailored workwear looks of the late
1990s. The post-9/11/01 woman attends her public as a proud yet traditionally
sensual creature.
Which leads to the third influence, the new emphasis on soft, feminine expression
through silk and chiffon
overlays, lace
bordering, and beaded
or rhinestone
hems, lines, and straps. While the 2002 party-goer is simply elegant with
brilliant structural accents, the 2002 bride dons a flowing gown overlayed
with embroidered or appliqued sheath. Soft satin silk is the fabric of choice,
with form-enhancing embellishments to match the wearer's personality.
