Can Epigenetics Shine a Light On Fat

I found some photos of when I started my PhD in Space Telecommunications, its been on pause for some time just like these photos. I have been deep diving into the world of Epigenetics and that word that is like Kryptonite to many in the fashion world let alone the movie business. Its all ok until you start gaining weight or God forbid actually let yourself go and become Fat.

Epigenetics is about shining the light of what drives your fat genes in conditions that can be changed eg your either on or your off. Lots of environmental factors can determine them

What happens if you get Fat from factors outside your control like a course of antibiotics or getting sick. Some data suggestes that infections can actually turn your fat epigenetic on. Interesting

There are 11 types of Female Body Archetypes

There is 56% of female archetypes that have more fat than 44% of other female archetypes

16% of these 56% have the most amount of fat of all the female archetypes

Yet the fashion industry only cut their patterns for 1 of 11 female body archetypes what happens to the other 10 female body archtypes.

Like Joan from Mad Men

and The Presidents Wife in Scandal

This is really interesting stuff, men have less body fat than women and women have 11 different body types and need really 11 different patterns to be made for clothes to really fit them.

Its a jungle out there in the change rooms and the bedrooms at home all these female body archetypes trying to fit into something that is cut for 32 24 32 when they are 36 28 42 how does that work.

Environmental variables such as nutrition and lifestyle may contribute to this tendency. These variables have the ability to change gene expression without affecting the DNA sequence, which is a phenomenon known as epigenetics.

Fur Fabulous Fur

Posted in Dior, Elite Traveller, Fabric, Fashion, Fashion Design, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Movies, Uncategorized with tags , on July 28, 2020 by harlette

I’m releasing a controversial blog post today on Fur Fabulous Fur.

There have been a few moments where some really amazing fashion icons have bumped into me at an airport or sat next to me on a plane and the one thing I noticed about both these Fashion Icon’s is the same thing a Fur Coat.

So I am taking a look back at vintage fur and the chic that it brings to Fashion there is something very old school Hollywood Glamour when you see these images. As time marches on for everyone, tastes change and fashion dictates Faux instead.

I cant still think back to what iconic images have been created with Fur, and today I am remembering the contribution fur has made to fashion design as an iconic material

Homme – Nothing says Rock Star like Jim Morrison wrapped in Fur

They say that Diamonds are Girls best Friend but in a line up at the Bafta’s Velvet is a Man’s best friend.

When you look at how the Velvet stands out

compared to the classic style the suit or tux.

The camera just loves and adores the velvet.

So style tip from some of the best actors,

Designers & Directors in the world

If you want to make a moment magic

Wear Velvet

This weeks style guide is inspired with Magic, with  the mystere and mystery of Magic.

So the Go to Girl for dating a magician is Claudia Schiffer, before she became the beanie wearing mum in Love Actually, she was dating a mind reading magician David Copperfield (ohh very scary not sure most people would be up for dating a mind reader) and was known as one the “Super Models” of the 90’s

The reason magic is the theme this week is the passing away of Roy the big cat lovers and magicians Siegfried & Roy. The only one left to mentioned is the Swedish magician Jo Labero.

Here is Claudia’s Style File

 

Now if yor looking to create this kind of style here are some new pieces that have the Claudia style
