Who Looked Hotter in Vivienne Westwood?
I never would have guessed that supermodel Elle Macpherson and rocker Pink would both gravitate towards the same gown. Well, they did. Elle just happened to wear it first. The Body wowed the crowd in the strapless Vivienne Westwood masterpiece at the Marie Claire Prix de la Mode fete in Madrid ... in 2007. The "So What" singer, on the other hand, popped a pose in the fab frock on the red carpet at the 2008 American Music Awards just a little over a month ago. Elle undoubtedly gets points for donning the dress first, but I have to give the slight edge to Pink. Her sexy updo and wild personality just seem to fit the patterned piece a little bit better.In 2007, Elle Macpherson donned the Vivienne Westwood masterpiece in Madrid.

Fashion Disasters of 2008
Paris Hilton makes sure she's always the center of attention in getups like this one.
Anne Hathaway and Julianne Hough topped "The Thread's" list of the best dressed celebs of 2008. Now, it's time to focus on some of the year's biggest fashion offenders, like Paris Hilton, whose wacky ensembles seem to scream that she's desperate for attention!
Host Sarah Bernard also highlights some of the worst fashion trends of 2008, including wearing your man's baggy jeans. Not a good look -- even if you're Katie Holmes.
Ancient style involves in fashion design
Thinking of lingerie and intimate apparel may evoke images of bras that hardly keep ladies covered and barely-there underwear.
Donning modern-day lingerie means putting everything on display and showing off a woman's shape in its most flattering way.
In ancient China, though, a curvy figure was considered a temptation and a sin, so women were left with few choices of outer clothes and were strictly governed by status. The underwear then became a unique channel for women to let out their romantic passion and over thousands of years, Chinese women developed various styles of underwear with amazing craftsmanship and ingenious designs.
To illustrate the use of old-time Chinese lingerie in today's world, a fashion design competition calling for inspiration from ancient Chinese lingerie elements was held by the China Fashion Association and Ordifen International Group.
Chinese water paintings, minority embroidery, Chinese red phoenix and cloud patterns, ceramics and Hanfu (the traditional dress of the Han Chinese) inspired ideas from about 800 designers from China, the UK and Japan.
