When u watch Eminem or Snoop's videos, do u wonder why these ghetto guys are so hot? How the chicks get the dirty look they have? Have u seen boys and girls in Bulgaria representing the gangsta style like them? No, cause this is a hip hop trade mark. The clothes, the make up, the behavior... everything is too different. If some hip hop or R&B star decides to get involved with fashion business, the collection he makes is always in this black style.

Why do celebs wear sport clothes? When they r having breakfast with friends, or walking the dog stars always choose this kind of clothing. It's not just to hide from paparazzi, cause paparazzi will recognize them even if they r dressed like a hamburger. Going out without all the glamour that u have to bring with u every day is always easier. Every night when they go to clubs or to the premiere of their latest movie they have to have this divine look and it's really hard to achieve and maintain it. So during the day the comfort of a simple skirt and T-shirt is preferable.

And it's not only celebs that feel like this, it's the same for normal people. A friend of mine who was an ordinary boy from the block, got a job in a bank. He's 24 so he's not used to the official clothes people r wearing there. He hates suits and the best thing for him during the weekend is to put on his old sweaters and jeans. I'm sure everyone feels the same way.

The best thing with this kind of clothes is not their comfort, cause obviously this is one of their advantages, but it's their possibility to appear in every fashion that u can think of. If u look a movie representing the 60s and 70s style you'll notice, except the strange haircuts, the sport elements in every piece of clothing. And now when u watch fashion shows u can always spot the mixing of styles. The outlooks u can often see is a dress with a sport jeans jacket, a skirt with sneakers, etc.

No matter if it's hippies' ages or the new century, Nike and their sneakers and athletic clothing have ruled the market. "Just do it" with it's simplicity and it's direct approach has made millions of people to forget about boring black or gray apparel. Unfortunately, here in only a few people can boast with a pair of Nike's trainers. And even though we can't buy anything from P Diddy's clothing line Sean John or Justin's William Rast, Razgrad has smashing shops for sport equipment like "Spalding" - the shop near "Drujba" Supermarket:

Every year in Razgrad we have two fashion fairs - one in September and one in January. This year's spring fair took place in "Ludogoretz" Hall from 22nd to 27th Jan. There was a great lottery and you could participate with anything you bought. The prize is an iron. Yeah!!!
Everyone goes there with great expectations. The fair offers a lot of stuff from candies to bags, boots, clothes and jewelry, even key-rings. The whole thing calls on my mind the cool old fairs of clothes where you can find everything on symbolic prices. And probably from the get going the idea was like this. Unfortunately, for the past 5 years it has been ruined just the exact same way that happens with every good idea here.
The truth is that every year the wares are almost like the last year. They are supposed to be made by Bulgarian companies. But on the clothes labels it's written Made in China or Made in other country that it's not Bulgaria. So the whole purpose of showing Bulgarian products is stultified. It's cheap, but sometimes, surprisingly, some needle-works tear after a few hours of wearing:)
But, I can deny that, the jewelry is awesome. The first thing that u see when u enter there is a wall of all types of necklaces, collars, pendants, bracelets, earrings and so on. They are like too much, so there's no way to separate them and choose only one. There is also a stand for jewelry covered with 18-carat gold:)
The only animal things are coats and undies. For every Little Miss Sunshine is the kid fashion stall, and for men is an enormous variety of sweaters.
Basically, it's A BIG EVENT in our small town, so it won't be a mistake just to go and see it.
