The holidays have come and gone far too quickly. All our Christmas parties and New Years Eve festivities are over with and now we return to our normal days of school and work. But, it's fun to look back at our favorite fashions from the past holiday season. Sequins and glitter were hot during the holidays and this trend certainly added tons of glamour to all of the season's activities. These pictures are very special to us because they were sent in by our readers who wanted to share their glamorous style. * * Quin Jalbert, Isabella DeForset, Brianna Vallelungo, Veronica Cabral, Charlotte Caprice, Dalton Primeaux

  " Colonel Grangerford was a gentleman you see. He was a gentleman all over . His hands was long and thin, and every day of his life he put on a clean shirt and a full suit from head to foot made out of linen so white it hurt your eyes to look at it; and on Sunday, he wore a blue tail-coat and brass buttons on it. There weren't no frivolishness about him , not a bit, and he weren't never loud ." - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , Mark Twain By Joseph A. Federico, editor-in-chief of  Debonair Magazine  (www.debonairmag.com) D ressing like a gentleman is not as easy as it looks, some might say. We live in a day and age where fashionable standards are being lowered and less and less men care about what they look like. In my opinion, it’s complete travesty. It is perfectly fine to hop on the bandwagon of the latest trends and clothing styles, such as the never-dying “geek chic” fad and the “hipster” looks. Everyone does it, because we’re nothing but hu...

By: Dalton Primeaux I recently had the  privilege of interviewing   Joseph A. Federico the editor-in-chief of Debonair Magazine .  Writing has been Federico’s calling ever since he was in grade school. He described how he would edit his classmate’s work in his school’s computer lab out loud. “That would get me into such trouble,” he said. One of his latest major accomplishments outside of Debonair has been publishing his first book, Images of America: Galloway Township by Arcadia Publishing. Now, Federico is working his dream job as editor-in-chief of Debonair. Debonair was founded in 2005 by Eddie Hertzman of Hertzman Media Group. Hertzman said he had decided to create Debonair because he wanted a resource for guys that wanted to be stylish and look like guys in the magazines but couldn’t afford the lavish attire. Debonair targets young men who live in an urban area. When I asked about the certain type of guys that the magazine is designed for, Hertzman answered...

W e here at the WearHouse District are huge supporters of independent designers and boutique owners.   They are usually the key to a unique wardrobe, and are a huge inspiration for all fashion fans. This is very true for boutique owner Angie Hebert and local designers like Connie Chiasson. 

The hot hairstyle trend we will see everywhere in 2012 is long hair. For both men and women, longer hairstyles are making a huge comeback.

Let me first say, this fashion show really exceeded my expetations. The models were beautiful. They came in all different shapes, sizes, and ethnicities. And, their swagger was amazing, definitely worthy of respect. This event was held at Nicholls State University and put together by the Nicholls chapter of the NAACP and was sponsored by radio station Q93.3. The proceeds for this show went to Habitat for Humanity and the NAACP scholarship.
