London Summer Olympics 2012: Opening Ceremony Uniforms of the World--The Fab, Good, and Oh Dear!



London 2012 Parade of Nations Fashionistas







This past Friday were the much-awaited London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, officially signaling the start of the 2012 London Olympics of course. I was in NY on business and watched it at my hotel. I always love watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony for the fabulous spectacle that it always is (Can you say BEIJING!!!). This time around British filmmaker, Danny Boyle (of "Slumdog Millionaire" fame) was placed as the Artistic Director of the London 2012 Opening Ceremony and he put on a fabulous show, taking audiences on a beautifully chaotic
journey through many iconic moments in British history, music, and literature. While the show itself wasn't Beijing jaw-dropping incredible (it's hard to top that darlings!), the Boyle
opening ceremony made for an awe-inspiring beginning to the world’s most
legendary event.





Face Dress: The girls who held the names of the respective nations of the world, all wore these A line-shaped dresses featuring a photo of London 2012 Olympics volunteers--and sensible shoes.



But for me--as a fashion designer and fashion-watcher of sorts--what I most look forward to is the

Parade of Nations and the countries uniforms and "costumes". Here are some of my choices for the Fashion Fab, the Fashion Good" and the  "Oh Dear!" from the 2012 London Summer Olympics Parade of Nations, all sectioned by the separate "areas" and/or continents of the world:



Europe:







The Netherlands: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these uniforms. For me, these were one of the best of all the 204 countries. They were designed by Suitsupply and Kudos to them! The colors were GREAT and noticeable from the nose-bleed seats in the stadium I am sure (I wasn't there so I wouldn't know, but I can only assume). The neon orange trench coat (I want ONE!), the matching pants, the dark blazers with white piping, the royal blue dresses. Oh, and to finish it all off, each uniform/outfit had a large tulip in its lapel. How do you say FABULOUS in Dutch? The look was chic, upper class trust funder from a very WASPY college. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade:  A









Belgium: I love any uniform that looks like they should be on some FAB flight attendants. And Belgium's uniforms fit the bill to a "T". They're  sexy, fashionable, and cheeky. Pop of color: check. Sleek styling: check. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A







Czech Republic: OK, I am just not sure what Wellies, umbrellas, bedazzled-trimmed blazers with contrast lining and printed cropped leggings or white shorts has to do with the Czech Republic. I assume the rain boots and umbrellas were some sort of a nod to London and it's sometimes rainy weather. Nevertheless, there are so many things going on in these "uniforms" that it's almost as if their theme was "Tacky Tourist". For that, they get a Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: C+ (they get points for "kookiness")





Germany: Things I like: the bright baby blue and "Barbie pink" colors. We can certainly spot them from a mile away. But then the nylon puffy zip-up jackets seem a bit "Fall/Winter" for me and along with the white pants, do not really scream "Germany" (save the hats with the German flag colors). These uniforms look more appropriate for the crew of the Princess Cruises. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: C







Sweden: The fact that they could somehow transform the Swedish flag into a rugby shirt is fashion-commendable. One can certainly not confuse these kids with any other country that's for sure. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B-





Denmark: First off, the Danish are BEAUTIFUL! They all look like Nordic Gene Studies in Pretty. They all kind of look related. And well, the fact that all the women and all the men wore THE SAME outfits did not help the matter. They all look like they are either part of "The Sound of Music" von Trapp family...or flight attendants for EasyJet. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B-







Spain: Oh España!! Their bright red and yellow uniforms caused a bit of a controversy when they were revealed and especially when several of the country's Olympic athletes began tweeting photos of their outfits with commentary such as "Can You Believe the CRAZY outfit we have to wear??? #UniformFail" (in Spanish of course). At first glance they looked like McDonalds employees. But when they walked the Opening Ceremony on Friday, the outfits didn't look so bad. The fan-shaped purses and scarves are OK and the women had these cute red rose headbands--very "Bizet's Carmen". Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B-





Great Britain: Congrats London and Congrats Great Britain for getting the 2012 Summer Games. However, I can't even say anything nice about these getup's. Fashion designer Stella McCartney worked with Adidas to design the sporting gear and
"village wear" (lounge wear) for Britain's home team. I'm not sure who designed these but they should be fired. These were BAAD. They were white tracksuits featuring cropped pants, tops and jackets with tacky gold mylar-looking accents and collars. I can see these looks at the Lunch Buffet on a cruise but NOT at the Olympics Opening Ceremony. What a fail for the host nation and the British athletes. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: D



Asia:





India: I'm a sucker for a FAB Sari. So, they had me at Namaste. The bright canary yellow color of the women's saris and the turbans of the men, contrasted with the dark jackets made for a great visual display at Friday night's London 2012 Opening Ceremony. One of my Top Parade of Nations looks. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A





Malaysia: Three words: I Love It. Just look at those colors, those hats (songkok), the sarong-style overskirts (sampin) on the men...oh, and did I mention the women also looked great! THIS, is why I LOVE watching the Olympics Parade of Nations. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A



North and Central America, Caribbean:





Mexico: I mean SERIOUSLY. Mexico. You are SLAYING me with this! Absolutely Fab. It is so over-the-top, so-kitschy, so "Am I at El Coyote's Restaurant in LA?" that I feel as if someone will pull some  nachos with guacamole any minute now from their sombreros or colorful sarapes. I know many of you won't like these looks, but I love the fact that they really "went for it". Viva Mejico! Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A-





Belize: Well done Belize. Sleek, crisp and chic, sportif. They look like well-heeled members of an exclusive country club. For a small Central American nation, you done did well, kids! For that, I give them my Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A





Trinidad and Tobago: This Caribbean nation is here because of those FAB red with diagonal stripes wrap dresses on the ladies. I just wish the sleeves were not so long and the length didn't look so dowdy, but other that that, they get a Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B-











Jamaica: Cedella Marley for Puma designed Jamaica's uniforms and they are some of the most stylish of the Parade of Nations bunch. Neon yellow, apple greens, and black (the flag's colors) combined with a unique print plus the on-trend color blocking and sleek athletic silhouettes make for great ensembles. Puma knows EXACTLY what it is doing. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A





Canada: Khaki pants, sneakers and a zip-up jacket isn't really that creative when it comes to uniforms, especially when compared to say what INDIA came up with...however, I do give Canada points for how matchy-matchy they are (in a good way) and the fact that you could never be in doubt of WHERE these kids are from (Hello, can you READ??). Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B-





USA: A lot has already been said over the PR kerfuffle committed by the Ralph Lauren company for having the US Olympic Uniforms manufactured in China. It was a big PR #Fail for Mr. Lauren. But, as we all know, if they were made in the US, these uniforms would have probably cost Ralph Lauren and the US Olympic Committee FIVE to TEN times as much so that is why the turned to China. Next time, they just need to eat the cost. I am sure billion-dollar rich Ralph Lauren can take it. Nevertheless, yes, it was still an "Oops" moment. With that being said, I kinda liked these uniforms. They were clean, sharp and gave a slight nod to English prep schools and English Savile Row tailoring and of course, had the red, white, and blue of the US flag. To me, the only negative--style-wise, would be the berets and cut of the women's skirts which was not flattering on all body types. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B



Africa:



Nigeria: I loved these uniforms from the Nigerian Olympic representatives. The ensembles highlighted traditional Nigerian dress for both the men and women. They were festive and elegant and featured the colors of the nation's flag--green and ivory. Naturally, for me, my standouts were the women and those fitted gowns and draped and wrapped headdresses. And when they entered the auditorium dancing...well, I gave them a Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A





Senegal: You cannot go wrong with bright canary yellow. Look at those great suit dresses on the women and the kaftans on the men...I need one, like NOW! (the kaftan) I wished the women's headdresses were more "Miss Universe Parade of Nations" over-the-top though. Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: A-





Cameroon: These colorful robes and tunics from the Cameroon group stood out for me for its traditional and folkloric extravagance. I only fault them when it came to the consistency of their footwear (the one in the white socks and Pumas got my "Fashion Fail" vote). Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B+



Middle East:



Oman: The men wore traditional Omani robes (dishdasha) and headdresses (muzzar and kummar) which is fine but who really stands out is that woman in the royal blue with gold trimmed traditional ensemble. She ROCKS! Parade of Nations Fashion Grade: B



The Fashion Miss and Mr. Hottie of the London 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony Are: 





Paraguay: Take a look at her! Paraguayan athlete Leryn Franco (she specializes in the javelin throw) is WORKING her cap-sleeved wrap dress, above-the-knee and more importantly, THAT plunging neckline. And need I add that she's GORGEOUS! She became a HUGE internet sensation during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and well, her stock is still WAY up after Friday night's appearance. She stole the "World's Sexiest Athlete" show. Even in those sensible ballet flats she could still STEAL YOUR HUSBAND. She wins my unofficial "Miss London Summer Olympics Parade of Nations Hottie".





Fiji: Finally, I have to give a title to a man. And boy is this A MAN. When the Parade of Nations happened on Friday and they got to the F's and Fiji came up, I could not focus for TEN minutes after that. This is who was holding the flag: 5' 9" tall Hottie McHottie Josateki Naulu, a Judo Olympic Athlete. Look at that body, the arms, the chest, the abs. Only Josateki could make wearing a grass skirt look SO manly. I wonder if he realizes that after Friday night's appearance, he will soon be the Poster Boy for Every Gay Hot-and-Sexy Body Blog. Mr. Naulu, you sir, are my "Mr. London Summer Olympics Parade of Nations Hottie"



Happy Summer Olympics!!!

Animal Prints - A Timeless fashion print


A TIMELESS CLASSIC THAT NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE


When someone says ‘animal print’ the first thing that comes to our mind is the leopard and when worn in a classic silhouette, it adds a visual interest and a bit of glamour to your look.  Even though it seems as if animal print comes in and out of style every couple of years, it's always in and always highly glamorous.

Earlier animal prints were born out of the skin and fur of select animals, they were used by men and women as it offered protection from the elements. Throughout history, kings and other high-ranking people have worn animal skin and use animal rugs as a sign of status and power. In the 20th century, fashion designers, high-ranking people, Hollywood stars, and celebrities turned it into a fashion trend. Nowadays, many famous brands, like Prada, Betsey Johnson, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior are big supporters of animal print. Supermodels, Hollywood stars, and celebrities are also big fans of animal print.


animal-print-quotedAnimal print is a fashion style that is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as leopard, cheetah, zebra, tiger, and giraffe.  Animal prints are similar to a neutral—they’re made up of brown, beige, and black, after all.  They’re seasonless, and you can wear them with almost anything, plus, they add a little edge to your wardrobe.

These wild prints can create attention anywhere you go. So going overboard won't make you more fashionable. Remember, It is always a good idea to start small and keep it simple, less is more when it comes to animal prints. Simply adding animal-print inspired jewellery, a key accessory (scarf, shoes or handbag) or one wardrobe piece (blouse or jacket) is all you need to spice up your look.

Add bright spots of colour with animal print to make a bold statement. When used in moderation this pattern is an exotic and elegant addition to our wardrobe and an edgy, yet classic, addition to our outfit.

These days animal print dresses are worn with chunky earrings are perfect for a night out. You can also opt in for cardigans with animal prints rocked with a shirt and a dark coloured trouser or a jean or a scarf to keep it stylish and subtle.

Animal print can really look great on anyone, It’s one of those timeless patterns that can work for any season.  Here are a few chic animal print pieces that will ensure you are on trend this season.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Drama of the century! Famous designer Marc Jacobs tortures a young girl!


My name is Angel Barta. I am fashion designer.

American designer Marc Jacobs has been stealing my unique ideas for 5 years. He copied all my photos for many big brands and fashion magazines without my permission.







Why is Marc Jacobs torturing me?

He is a sick, egomaniac person.

He can't stand the fact that I denied to do the humiliating things he asked me to.
( He asked me to do many disgusting things in order to be a model) Jacobs asked Jennifer Lawrence to take naked photos in order to get a well-paying campaign contract. Read more here



What is his goal?

1. He wants to be the most powerful fashion designer in the world. 

2. He wants to break me by using MY talent meanwhile he suppressed my efforts at creating a career for myself through psychological torture.

3. He wants to go on using MY talent since he  knows that my style and talent is the certain key to success.




How does Marc Jacobs copy me?

  He copies every single details on my photos. He uses each photo for more times.
He copies the background, the concept, the colors, the poise, the mood, the outfit.

He copies anything I do. He has ex-colleagues and friends working at almost every big fashion brand. He can bring my ideas to Dior, Nina Ricci, Chanel, Prada, with the help of his friends. (Katie Grand, Camille Micheli, Peter Copping, etc.)


After 5 years of silence... A couple of months ago I started spreading my true story with Marc Jacobs, he and his friends seriously life-threatened me! They want me to shut up and accept the fact that they are using my talent meanwhile ignoring my person from the fashion world.






























 You may ask how is that possible?

Well, everything started at the beginning of  2008, when I was only 16 years old.
 I met Marc Jacobs at his gym in Paris. He noticed how special my style was from the first moment. He invited me to his Louis Vuitton fashion show and the dinner after. He has been stalking me since then.

   He promised he would make the biggest topmodel out of me, because he could sell anything with my face. He said I was the first woman he fell in love with. He fooled with me with love, marriage, kids and topmodel carrier. I believed his every word!






He asked me to inspire him with my photos, my designs, my energy and my love.



   In 2008 Summer he invited to his office, where he did a private casting, only for me and he took my measurements personally.

He mentioned our meeting at his office on his profile in New Yorker Magazine in 2008 Sept.1. Click here, to read the article

   For two years we spoke 10 hours every day. Jacobs wanted to know everything about me. He became obsessed with my personality and the unique style I represent. He said my energy was vital for him. He told me he needed me, because with my talent he could be the new Picasso, he wanted to write his name with Golden Letters into the Fashion History. He copied my photos in his campaigns and replaced his long-time photographers with MY favorite photographer Steven Meisel. Since 2008 Meisel shoots all his Louis Vuitton Campaigns.


Marc Jacobs in the Industrie Magazine, dressed up as Angel Barta. The stylist was Katie Grand.

Jacobs copied my style for his fashion shows. It was a huge success! Marc became overwhelmed by the success.

   He told me he loved me and he would tell the fashion world the next time that he designed about me, and he would make the biggest fashion designer out of me and we would work together officially. I believed him that he would support me to be able to work in the fashion industry and I helped him for free. I did not get anything for my ideas, only his nice words and fake promises.

  Jacobs kept torturing me: Saying he loved me, sending me love messages, poems, he wrote love songs and asked famous singers to sing it. He made those singers to wear the clothes he designed about me.  For example Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift. ( Rachel Zoe, famous stylist supports MJ and dresses the celebs) 






   After more seasons I started to realize that MJ was just using my talent for his own success. I noticed that he hacked my cell phone, he knew all my text messages, emails, he was checking my facebook. He contacted my friends from fake accounts and sent them messages.










   After a while I stopped talking to him. I realized that he never loved me. He just loved the success he got from my talent. He took advantage of my pure feelings for him.
I wanted to break up with him!  He kept calling me, texting me, but I never answered. I stopped giving him photos.... I wanted to forget him... but he did not leave me alone. He wrote me every day that he would kill himself if I don't answer.

  Jacobs became more and more obsessed with me and did many crazy and cruel things to steal my ideas and keep me in a secret. He is afraid of my talent. He does everything to hide me!

He stalkes me. He hired people to follow me all day and take photos and videos on me on the street for Jacobs. This way he could copy everything I was wearing. Marc Jacobs started to make fashion videos, copying my life, my memories, my moments. The models has to act and poise the way I do. They have to copy my movements.


















Marc Jacobs, the Manipulator

  Jacobs wants to lead the everything. He tries to crontrol the celebrities also.
Rachel Zoe, famous stylist from Hollywood dresses up the stars in Marc's clothes. (For example in the last minute Anna Hathaway wore a pink Prada dress- designed by MJ for the Oscars instead of the Valentino gown she was planning to wear.)
     

Kissing with Rachel Zoe
 He puts his friends, ex- collegues at many differant fashion brands.
 He has Camille Micheli at Dior ( She used to work at the PR Louis Vuitton, with Marc Jacobs for more then 10 years, before MJ got her " Creative- Jewelry Director" Job at Dior in 2009)
     Peter Copping at Nina Ricci. ( He used to be the right hand of Marc Jacobs for 10 years at LV before he got the creative director job at Nina Ricci in 2009, thanks to MJ)

And his main supporter....
KATIE GRAND


   Katie Grand supports him in his cruel game against me. Katie Grand works for many big brands and fashion magazines. She is the editor of LOVE and POP Magazine. With her help Jacobs can copy my ideas and spread it in the whole fashion world. Marc Jacobs is egomaniac and wants to control the whole fashion world. He makes the topmodels, he decides who's gonna be the next IT Girl, who will be in most of the campaignes, not just in his ads, but in every brand.

Marc Jacobs " the soul-terrorist"


    I wrote a 500 pages long book about the first 2 years of my relationship with Marc Jacobs. The title is " The Secret Love Affair in Paris". I was hoping MJ would leave me alone after reading my book. I wrote honestly about my dreams, wishes and feelings. Jacobs used every information against me. He gave all my dreams for other models from my country in order to break me. Katie Grand casted the Hungarian girls for all the shows that she works for. (for example, a Hungarian model, Vanessa has been the face of Prada for 3 seasons already, this is the first time someone gets such long Prada contract) They have to dress up in my style and copy me and my poises in the editorials. Anywhere I go must face the photos he copied. I see my ideas in the magazines, on the campaignes on the street etc.
 You can read more details on how he pressured me with the Hungarian models, click here


Marc Jacobs does not want me to have the energy to let the truth out so that people will know that all of his creations were originally my ideas. He designs my style, my soul, everything that is  me!
 Marc is more than pleased to show me how other girls easily get success in the fashion world through him, meanwhile he ignores me from the fashion industry.


Marc Jacobs the sex addicted Porn Baron


Marc Jacobs makes his acting debut in a new film "Disconnect". He plays Harvey, a character he describes as 'sleazy' who lures underage kids off the street with the promise of shelter and income, for web-chat porn and prostitution.


'In the end, I’m really not a bad character. I’m actually the one who is protecting them in a way. I’ve taken them off the streets, and they don’t get harmed. They’re doing something that is virtual, though they are talking about sex. But you can look at it two ways,' he explained. text via dailymail
  Well, his role in the movie is very interesting since Marc Jacobs is really into chat-sex in real life too. In my book I already wrote in 2010 how much he loves sex on the internet and how many perverse messages he sent me for years. He has been harassing me since I was 16 years old. Jacobs is playing himself in the movie actually... his real perverse side.

Watch Marc Jacobs ask a 15 years old kid if He " Jerks off" in new Disconnect clip 



18 years old Lily McMenamy had to walk topless on his latest fashion show in New York. She said Marc told her how to hold her breasts in one hand. Marc did not let her go home until 2.am. Read my article with details: If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway, all you have to do is to satisfy his perverse fantasy.






Guess, I don't need to tell you why you see Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately. MJ and Katie Grand supports her. She is in the latest cover of Grand's LOVE Magazine.

Did you know that Marc Jacobs controls Miley Cyrus?

He is to blame for her shocking new image and for all her perverse perfomances. You can read the truth, click here

My other article: Marc Jacobs is obsessed with women, it seems that he is not gay really. He supports the Hungarian models, click here



You may ask now, what does Marc Jacobs think about my articles where I unfold his dark side ?

               
Marc Jacobs sent me
   a serious life-threatening message
               
I ask everyone who supports the truth, to help me and share my link on facebook or twitter. Please help the truth to be out in public!
I'd like to have a free life without Marc Jacobs stalking me.

Please share the link of my blogspot : http://styleangelique.blogspot.com/






I made this video in 2012 summer. I was wearing my own designes stripped Angel Barta dress. In 2012 summer polka dots were the must have trends of the summer. 2 months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripped outfits... each single outfit was stripped! 





Here are a few examples...









Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton Tent during Paris Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows... knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I.. I have to be standing outside...
