Bras reportedly made from soy bean casings have been launched. Organic clothing online retailer FaeriesDance.com now offers bras that are reportedly made from the soy bean casings discarded during tofu manufacturing.

According to FaeriesDance, the bras are made from a new fabric called Azlon. The said fabric is reportedly developed using the fibrous outer casings of soy beans which would otherwise be thrown out during tofu manufacturing. When reclaimed and mixed with organically grown cotton, the casings are then processed using a closed loop system. The said system makes possible minimal waste and also guarantees no chemical residues.

According to FaeriesDance owner Adrienne Catone, Azlon is good for the environment since the fabric is organic. Catone also shared that a few years ago, her company found soy fabric panties. These were reportedly mostly conservative styles with a boy short and high cut brief from Canada-based Dream Designs.

The bras made out of soy casings are now available at Catone’s online store. Prices start at just $25 per bra and $16 per panty.

FaeriesDance is an eco-friendly online retailer that offers sustainable apparel and intimates. Named after the mythological woodland creatures that live in the heart of the forest, FaeriesDance also offers organic cotton lingerie. The company says part of their goals is to provide a complete environmentally conscious shopping experience for their customers and to sell more eco-friendly clothing, accessories and intimates such as the soy lace bras and panties. The company also says that they use other sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics as well as dyes.

You run off from facials or new regimens and usually uncertain to try new products whether your skin is oily or dry, smooth or wrinkled.

One of the latest fashion news that’s been buzzing the past few weeks is the announcement of French Vogue’s new editor. Less than a month after editor Carine Roitfeld announced that she will no longer serve as the magazine’s editor in chief, the organization revealed that it has chosen Fashion Editor Emmanuelle Alt to take her place starting February 1, 2011.

Alt already has an extensive experience when it comes to latest fashion and beauty trends and news. She’s been the magazine’s fashion director since 2000. She’s been credited for having created a bold look for the magazine. Her efforts paid off, with the circulation rising to nearly 150,000 last year from less than a hundred thousand the previous years.

French Vogue owner Condé Nast International came out with the decision, stating that the direction that the magazine is going will continue as per impressive sales the past year.

To keep up with latest fashion trends shown at the recently concluded Mango Fashion Awards in Barcelona, Spain on Wednesday, actress Scarlett Johansson attended the event with a new hairstyle.

The 25-year old celebrity was seen with her new chic cut that gave her hair a slightly tousled, sultry look with wavy strands extending beyond her chin.

The Tony Award-winning actress looked glowing and confident with her latest look as she gamely posed for the media and even chatted freely with French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. She was the one who presented the honorary Mango Button Award to the popular designer.

Though Johansson has yet to explain the reason behind the new look, speculations arose that this may have something to do with an upcoming film project but this has yet to be confirmed.

What probably matters as this point is whether her husband, Ryan Reynolds liked her new look.

The Lakme Fashion Week, which started late last week in India, has seen models strutting down the runway sporting more than the latest designs. According to reports, some models have undergone botox, face lifts and lip augmentation. The array of pretty faces have become brand ambassadors for fashion and quick fix beauty treatments.

A popular cosmetologist, Rashmi Shetty, said in an interview that there has been a significant increase of models that go to his clinic to undergo cosmetic treatments. Many treatments last less than two weeks thus making this so called “quick fix” the best alternative among aspiring models. This is fast becoming a major fashion trend in the local industry.

Shetty said that models used to undergoing basic treatments, like laser hair removal, especially for lingerie models. However, these days model are going one step further by turning to the more advanced and extreme treatments just to keep at the top of the modelling game.

Supermodel, television host and entrepreneur Tyra Banks dished out more information on the latest season of “America’s Next Top Model” which is currently on its 15th season. According to Banks, this season’s contestants are so far the “best” yet. The show chronicles the transformation of everyday young women into potentially fierce supermodels.

The winner of this season gets two spreads in Vogue Italia magazine and a lucrative contract with IMG Models. To stress how lucrative this contract is, this is where supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss are currently connected.

As for the Italian Vogue feature, this was made possible after Banks and magazine editor Franca Sozzani maintained a friendly relationship after the former agreed to be featured on the magazine’s July 2008 issue which featured all black models.

Banks said that they are expecting the winner to have an international appeal and may be featured in other markets and magazines – specifically in France and Britain.

Just when we thought that it was Paris Hilton who prefers the “simple life,” it is actually her sister who’s going down that road whenever she can.

Recently, Hilton was photographed walking with her boyfriend David Katzenberg and she was wearing a cotton dress and flip-flops and without any visible make-up.

Photographs reveal that Nicky Hilton prefers being fresh faced and wearing comfortable cotton dresses during her free time, as evidenced by her walking down the streets of Los Angeles recently. Hilton is one of the most in-demand models in the industry but if she does get her free time, she would rather exchange those sophisticated dresses and heavy make up with outfits that are simple & comfortable and allow her skin to breathe.

The older sister of Paris definitely does have an eye for fashion too, as is well documented. Earlier this week, she was seen carrying a number of Louis Vuitton handbags as she arrived at the Sydney International Airport. It’s been reported that Hilton will model for designer Charlie Brown at the 2010 Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival.

Sales of suspenders and stockings are increasing once more as more and more women copy popular celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue, wearing heel lingerie stockings during their performances. Their “underwear as outerwear” look seems to have attracted the masses.

High Street retailer Debenhams attributed the increase in sales in the cooler weather where consumers can get away by wearing the aforementioned items.

The retailer revealed that black suspender belts and stockings have become in demand with sales rising by more than 230 percent over the past month. This resulted to the store searching for more patterns to accommodate the increasing customer demand.

The interest in suspenders and stockings declined a few decades ago due to the emergence of supporting tights. However, Debenhams spokesperson Ruth Attridge said that the unpredictable weather has worked wonders on how they’re selling their products.
