Gareth Pugh's Cut Out Tops A Popular Hit

The cut out trend started fresh early this year. Popping out in magazines, showrooms and runways alike, this chic, casual look hit the big time.

Though the designs are more prominent in this years fall fashions, we are eager to wear these lightweight styles through the summer heat.

However, no one has created this signature new look like Gareth Pugh and his rockinrolla top. The tight, slashed torso reveals skin in a sexy, yet stylish, way. Letting the cool air in and keeping your aurora, not your skin, hot.

Gareth is no stranger to the spotlight or creating trends that make a huge splash. The designer made his design premier at London Fashion Week in 2006 and hasn't looked back since. British Vogue called his Spring 2007 collection "an incredible, unmissable show" where "his genius is undeniable." And his most noted accomplishment was gaining the support and respect of American Vogue Editor and icon Anna Wintour.

Vogue Revives Global Consumers

In support of the failing fashion economy, fashion designers filing bankrupt, and fashion magazines closing, Vogue has decided to celebrate and lift spirts by financing fashion shows in 13 major locations in order to bring relief to the recession.

According to Carine Roitfeld, Vogue Editor, "It seems important to mobilize to celebrate fashion, and show that despite the difficult times we more than ever need the enchantment and pleasure fashion brings.”

The shows will take place in Milan, Mumbai, London, New York and many more. Readers of Vouge get special treatment by being welcomed in luxury stores in each of the cities hosting the events and will be greated by Vogue editors.

The idea of the celebration is to celebrate the global fashion industry on September 10th with the theme "to revive consumers' taste for fashion and shopping".
