More than a novelty or boldness of a designer fashion or another, the so-called plus-size women are taking the catwalks, shops and fashion magazines. This is nothing new and it doesn’t seem to be a fad at all! It seems that finally the great brands of the fashion world are leaving aside the canon of skeletal beauty of the past decades, a radical change in tone, “beauty is in all the forms, not only in thinness”.

This necessary change to health and happiness of women started from the fight against anorexia and bulimia established by Donna Donna Onlus, an association that has given respite to the world of fashion. On 2007 was the London catwalk establishing the requirement of their models wearing at least size 0, with the phrase: “London gateway without anorexia” and was the first to demonstrate against the stereotype of beauty, which until then, just four years ago, was indisputable.

From then until today, the scene has changed considerably. The last version of Fashion Week in Milan started with a parade of XL models called “Ladies of the Desert” by designer Elena Miro, which involved the “XL super models” Tara Lynn and Lizzie Miller, who showed their curves to the world. Moreover, the magazines V-Magazine and Vogue have devoted entire editions to fashion and XL models, with the slogan: “Curves up”

Today Milan is the city that marks the change with numerous boutiques for plus sizes, to name a few: XL Moda and Lady XL located at: Strada Statale Padana Superiore, 18, 200063, Cernusco sul Naviglio, Milan.

Just something else: Enjoy fashion, beauty and Curves up!

When a woman dresses, she chooses strategically what to wear every day. But not every day they feel the same way, not everyday they are the same person, and this also influences the way they dress, especially when it comes to underwear.

Women use underwear as a seduction weapon, like a well-guarded treasure that only few will be able to discover and therefore the appearance of their panties and bras are extremely important. But different types of women use different types of lingerie. A tough woman dresses differently than a woman who wants to call attention of men on the street, or than a woman who stays all day at home and is a little depressed. The colors of women’s underwear have a lot to do with their self-esteem.

A Research was conducted on this subject at the University of Leicester in the UK, as well as in other countries in the world. Some interesting conclusions of these studies are already helping changing women’s attitudes towards their underwear.

The classic underwear colors (white, black and red) are the most commonly used and each has a special meaning, but other colors are also very interesting to evaluate: calm and classy women, for example, wear blue. Happy and very lively women wear yellow or orange and very feminine women prefer pink.

But let’s return to the classic white. White is worn by natural and innocent women, those women who feel clean, pure and in balance with themselves. Men really like this color, because in the summer, it contrasts with the tan color of the skin of the ladies and that drives them crazy.

Black, especially the cotton ones, is worn by women who do not feel quite good about themselves. The color of mystery can be quite provocative in lace panties or thongs.

And finally red, the color of passion is worn by audacious, hot women. Red shows a highly secure self-esteem, a woman who has much confidence in herself, and a lady who is not ashamed of her body and is willing to have fun.

This information can be very useful for men to get to know what kind of women are they dealing with, for women this is also important, because they can use underwear as therapy to improve their self-esteem. If you dare to go out with a hot red, surely you will have a better day at work although nobody apart of you should know what color she wears.

In the increasingly populated contemporary art world, photography continues to be one of the languages which young artists prefer to use. In the show “The Water of Chemistry,” which opens on the 7th July at the Click Gallery in Milan, will be a collection of works highly focused on the idea of attention to detail – something which fast paced modern life tends to neglect – and which photography hopes to bring back.

Mario Washington is a young Italian artist born, living and working in Milan. Like many today, he studied rights, and started to devote himself to photography in 2006. Two years later, he decided to move to New York, the global center of contemporary art to do an internship at the Bruce Silverstein Gallery, where he learned the techniques to hone his own artistic style.

Upon returning to Italy, he participated in the fourth edition of “Premio Arte Laguna” (Venice 2009), and exhibited the same year with the show “Nocturno Metafísico” at the Click Gallery. His first one man show, “The Water of Chemistry” took place between the 7th-27th of March 2011 at the civic aquarium in Milan, and on the 7th of July, the show opens at the Click Gallery – with which he now has an established relationship.For more information visit: www.clickgallerymilano.com

Washington decided to dedicated himself to photographing landscapes, nature, and a kind of “dead nature,” made from urban detail and artificial illumination. He is always in search of new ways to manipulate light, whereby colour (which are sometimes almost psychedelic) contrast, forming a spectral image upon whichever panorama he chooses. His aim could be described in the words of William Gibson; to “photograph what is not there.” Gibson was the godfather of “cyber-punk” literature, who in the story “The Continuum of Gernsback” places one of his characters in front of a building for whole hours, waiting for the light to develop, or disappear.

In Washington’s photographs there is a powerful sense of silence. He encourages the spectator to learn to look at the details, and see something which can only achieved through photography.

In “The Water of Chemsitry,” water is studied through its numerous manifestations, and physical states, captured in 30 photographs, which show its extreme versatility, as well as its corrosive, destructive powers, and how it can slowly penetrate any material, and change any shape with time.
