HemLines!

Hemlines and Inches. As most of you have probably noticed, on the runway this fall the hemlines have increased a couple of inches. I mean look at Dior's Winter/ Autumn Collection 2013.  The Hemlines are way past the indecent length. Leaving more to the imagination. The way it should be.

Althought deemed the bottom of your skirt a Hemline is very important in terms of the perception of your fashion statement. I must say this hemline is my favorite. So elegant and classy. And I love black, the color is here to stay!

Now certain hemlines go well with certain body types. It has a huge impact on whether or not that skirt will flatter you. The right hemline can make your legs look long and slender, but the wrong hemline can make you look stout or dowdy.

For instance a Mini-Skirt- Mini skirts of course show more skin, creating the illusion of a longer leg. If you have a height of 5'4" (about 163 centimeters) or less, a mini-skirt will work wonders for your length. 

If your 5'4 or less avoid midi or maxi skirts.  Longer skirts can have to much fabric which can overwhelm your lower half, making you look short and frumpy. If you do opt for a longer skirt, go for a fitted style that hugs your legs.Try a knee length Skirt if your have wide hips and thighs.

Play with long skirts if you are tall. Long skirts can look elegant on taller women, since the extra fabric compliments their figure rather than overwhelming it. Stick with a hemline that stops just above your ankles. Showing the thinnest part of your ankles keeps your legs looking lean and slender.


Skirts are a huge trend this season so make sure you wear the right type for you body and size!

The skirts and dresses that I have designed for my House of Sadia Collection are in trend with this seasons hemlines! Check out the Sydney Dress and the amazing hemline!! This dress can be worn both ways with the zipper in front as well giving it a more night time look.  LOVE THE SYDNEY DRESS!

Here is a model wearing the Sydney Dress for Jersey City Fashion Week and Atlantic City Fashion Week.

The Elaine Skirt is one of my favorites. This skirt is designed to keep curves in mind! The upper part of this Skirt has boning to keep everything fitted and kept in to give a nice muffin top free silhouette! All around the skirt there are cascading pockets to give your hips more of a curve or to hide the unflattering cellulite. The buttons are handmade and the skirt is adorned with handmade dhabka and stone embroidery. And the hemline is appropriate for all body types! and of course can be customized!

Hemlines below the knee are the way to go for me. And these pockets make this a perfect party skirt! How will you look different this holiday season! 

Fashion Week and more...

Tis the season of Fashion Week. I know its been a while since I have posted but I Had a legitimate reason. I mean all my energy was going towards participating in and attending fashion week shows 2013! 

This year I had the pleasure of volunteering and Attending Couture Fashion Week New York. Lets just say it was a very exciting moment for me. I met several designers and was able to see designs from various designers around the world and related to different cultures! 

Now a majority of the world doesnt understand the time and effort it takes to a get a model strutting down the runway! That quote really does hold merit "Beauty is pain". I was lucky enough to be able to see the step by step process to prepare for the runway.

Unlike other fashion shows there was a team hired to do hair and makeup for the runways. I think everyone really showed their creative sides! The Energy was amazing! Here are a few snaps of the models getting ready! Yours truly was a part of the excitement! 

Now All my pictures are of different designers but the one's I enjoyed seeing and thought where really avant guarde where Harumi Momota  and Jorge Afanador. Check out my snaps.....it was a great runway!
