Young fashionistas are about to say good-bye to sexy hip-hugging jeans and tops.
Clothing is getting back to its main role – covering the body. The 2006 trends reveal that fashion turns its face to modesty, romance and classics. It especially touches the teen fashion.

"We're seeing skirt hemlines that are at the knee and are very demure, very proper pants, prim tops and large pearl necklaces," said Gloria Baume, fashion market director for Teen Vogue.

Baume claims that designers are concentrated on "ladylike and almost old-fashioned" styles. It’s hard to believe that teens inspired by Spears and Aguilera will follow the style of 1950s, but Baume hopes that era of low-rise jeans is over. "I don't like them. That style has been around for four years and I think girls are getting tired of it" – she says.

The fashion editor of CosmoGIRL! Tara McBratney agrees with Baume about the new trends in fashion. "Fashion is a cycle," McBratney explained. "We got to the point where the jeans were as low as they could go, shirts were as cropped as they could go, baby tees were as tight as they could go, so the natural progression is for fashion to go the other way."

Some people claim that the modesty might be the part of a larger social shift. Modern teens, who learned the lesson from the previous generations’ experience, do not want to lead the kind of life their older brothers and sisters did.

"Any outfit should not be so tight that you can see the shape of underwear underneath it. And a girl should be able to reach for something on a high shelf, bend over and pick something up or sit on a chair without skin showing," said Pam Gunderson
Experts-educators say that most of today’s teens believe that their looks will help them become successful and popular. However, some teens like, for example, 15-year-old Michelle Ross say: "You can still be cool even if you're not wearing the same type of clothing as everyone else," said Ross. "Personality is what matters."

md model in ‘Get Gorgeous-2’

New reality show “Get Gorgeous-2” is to air on India’s V Channel to discover “India’s next Supermodel”. The show will travel to different cities across the country "looking for the one face that will launch a thousand products".

"One of the main objectives of the ''Get Gorgeous- 2'' is to provide a platform for good looking girls in various parts of the country who do not get a chance to make it in the world of modelling due to lack of resources or opportunity," Channel V VJ Gaurav Kapur told UNI to announce the launch of the show.

The final winner of “Get Gorgeous-2” will get a contract with Channel V.
