"Each model has their own signature "mirror face" which sets them apart from other models," continues Forte. "Models are trained to portray different emotions which is part of their role. It is paramount for these aspiring models to practice their own "mirror faces" which must convey the required emotion as naturally as possible."

So, with some coaching from Forte, I attempted the four most common 'looks': serious, seductive, confident, and the up squint.

Unlike Zoolander, whose four signature expressions - Blue Steel, Magnum, Le Tigre and Ferrari - are all identical, Forte tells me that real quartet are in fact very diverse. How will the real fair against the fictional?

1. Serious

"Firstly, the serious face," says Forte. "Give me strong eyes, a slight frown and very slightly tighten your lips."

I do so, with mixed and somewhat unserious results.

We've all seen our share of silly fashion trends during our lifetimes, but crazy styles are nothing new. When America was first being colonized by Europeans, the nobles back home across the pond were cooking up some pretty outrageous fashion fads. Historic A-listers put up with all manner of plucking and prodding, squeezing and strapping, gluing and overheating in the name of fashion. The notion of "beauty before comfort" was certainly at play, even 500 years ago.

Mouse Fur Eyebrows

A forward-thinking, fashion-minded woman in 18th century Europe would know the importance of having up-to-date and beautiful eyebrows. To achieve the "in" look, women would pluck out their entire eyebrows and glue on false ones made of mouse skin. The mouse fur eyebrows would look especially striking against the pale face makeup that was also popular at the time.

Chopines

These Renaissance-era platform shoes could put many modern platforms to shame with their dizzying heights. Originally designed to help women navigate muddy streets without mussing their skirts, the towering sandals soon became a status symbol. Chopines could reach heights of 20 inches, and teetering slaves to fashion would often need attendants to help steady them as they tried to walk.

Bombasting

Elizabethan fashionistas practiced the art of bombasting - that is, stuffing one's clothing with lots of extra padding. Both women and men would stuff their sleeves until they resembled giant pork chops. Men would fill their doublets with stuffing to make their bellies look rotund, using up to six pounds of filler under their shirts. The bombast they used was made of cotton or horsehair or piles of rags, or even bran.

Oversized Wigs

We can thank the balding King Louis XIII of France for kicking off the wig craze. The ever-larger wigs, also called periwigs, were fashionable especially for men in the 17th centuries. Periwigs were made of human or animal hair and often contained vermin like lice. Men would powder their wigs white, while high-class ladies would use hair extensions to bring their poufed-up coiffeurs to towering heights. The imposition of a large wig powder tax in England alongside the guillotining action of the French Revolution put an end to the giant wig craze.

Visard Masks

A visard (or vizard) mask was a featureless mask meant to protect a woman's pale face from the sun while she traveled in the 16th century. The mask was held onto the face not by a ribbon or cord, but by a button or bead sewn into the inside of the mask's mouth and held between the wearer's teeth. The masks were often covered in black velvet and sometimes did not even have a breathing hole at the mouth. A visard mask caused a lady traveler to be mysterious, dour, silent, and possibly oxygen-deprived.

Corsets

While both Renaissance and modern corsets are built for support with free breathing in mind, there was a period during which the point of the corset was to squish the ribs and squeeze the waist into as thin a space as possible. Around the mid-19th century, a wasp-like waist came into vogue alongside the advent of steel boning for keeping a corset's shape. The "tightlacing" fad caused women to put up with indigestion, constipation and some slight displacement of internal organs, all in the name of fashion. Even men who aspired to be "Dandies" got into the corset-wearing act in the 19th century to help them fit into the tight trousers and jackets of the period. Men were generally teased back out of their corsets by the 1880s.

Hoop Skirts

Reaching maximum circumference in the mid-18th century, round hoop petticoats were sometimes replaced with side hoops, called "panniers," which comes from the term for the big baskets slung over the backs of pack animals. These skirt supports could widen the hips by several feet on each side, causing a courtly lady to take up three times the floor space of a man. The extreme size of the "in" look posed a challenge whenever the wearer tried to walk in wind, get through a doorway or into a carriage, or, Heaven forbid, attempt to sit down.

Codpieces

These stuffed effigies of male endowment evolved from simple pouch-shaped flaps meant to close the front of men's hose. Much more grandiose codpieces became a fashion craze among well-dressed men in the 16th century. The Tudor codpiece was shaped, padded and boned to be a prominent feature of menswear, and was even included on suits of armor. Codpieces were often elaborately decorated and doubled as pockets, serving as a handy hiding place for some of the family jewels.

Neck Ruffs

Starting out as simple ruffled collars, neck ruffs grew larger and stiffer until, by the late 16th century, they appeared more like giant frilly yokes than neck openings. The biggest ruffs extended to over a foot wide and required wire supports to hold them up. The many-layered, stiffly-starched ruffs would be laced closed around the neck and held in place with often hundreds of pins. Frequently adorned with jewels or metallic thread, ladies' ruffs were larger than men's and typically encased the entire neck, chin, shoulders and upper chest.

Patches

Patches were fake "beauty marks" made of velvet, silk or leather, affixed to the face with tree sap glue. While early patches were circular, after the fad spread like wildfire starting in the late 16th century, patches started appearing in shapes like stars, hearts, flying birds and sailing ships. Women would adorn their faces with multiple patches to accentuate different features or to send code messages. There was a whole system of symbolism by which a woman's patch placement could indicate if she were feeling flirty or bold, actively seeking a date or already married or engaged. Ladies would carry little boxes of extra patches in case they lost one or decided to change their facial fashion statement on the go.

After a fairly mild winter that teased us with spring-like weather back in February, suffice it to say we're ready for official spring weather-and the clothes to accompany it. For us, we've had our eyes on the new spring trends since they debuted on runways last fall. Tons of our favorite designers, and yours, showed pretty, edgy, groundbreaking, inspiring-and totally wearable-looks that we're ready to get our hands on. So take a look at our spring fashion roundup to get some outfit ideas, and start planning and plotting your style for this season...starting with the trend you see up above:

Slogan Tees

The slogan tee Maria Grazia Chiuri sent down the runway at her Christian Dior debut immediately stole our hearts. Indeed, we should all be feminists. And there will be plenty of others to choose from come spring-from House of Holland's "Free to Roam" to Haider Ackermann's "Be Your Own Hero" tops to Prabal Gurung's dreamy literary and political-quote tees.

The New Sport

2016 has officially been the year of the hoodie. So what about next year? We're happy to report that this piece, made hugely popular by Vetements, is here to stay-at least through spring-as evidenced by lines from Alexander Wang to Versace. Thought it's a little less street, and a bit more sport this time around.

Romantic Patchwork

Call it the Balenciaga effect: after Demna Gvasalia showed patchwork florals for fall, we were convinced the look was anything but hippie dippy. Which is why we were very happy to see them return for spring in the form of floaty dresses at labels like No. 21 (with sequins no less) and Rag & Bone.

Robes IRL

After a two seasons of pajama dressing and slip dresses, it was only a matter of time before we started wearing robes. Spring 2017 will offer them in a range-from uber laid-back (see Band of Outsiders) to evening appropriate (hey, Jonathan Simkhai). And by "evening," we mean a night out, not in with Netflix.

Pink Passion

There was a day in Paris during the spring 2017 shows when three designers-Balenciaga, Céline, and Valentino each showed some pretty lust-worthy pink dresses. And they weren't your average rosy hues. We're talking pink pink. And you know what they say about three making a trend... Could it be next spring's Lemonade yellow?

One Shoulder

You didn't think the cold shoulder was going anywhere, did you? The spring 2017 fashion trends have an answer to this summer's off-the-shoulder phenomenon: the one-shoulder top (or dress). The options range from '80s-inspired (thanks, Saint Laurent) to deconstructed shirting, as seen at Monse and Self-Portrait.

Vibrant Stripes

You'll find stripes in several shows every season, but we can't remember the last time they were this bright and bold. They're especially fresh in the form of a knit dress, which popped up in collections from Altuzarra to Proenza Schouler.

Iridescence

The unsung, not-not-done-to-death '90s trend? Iridescence. For spring, it gets an update in pinks blues and greens. Done in sequins and sheers, it's the 2017 way shine.

15 fashion and clothing idioms and their meanings | Milkround

The English language is shock full of expressions to do with fashion and clothing - but what do they all mean?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many women think of the old adage, "beauty is pain" everyday as they undergo painful beauty and fashion rituals, including tweezing eyebrows, waxing bikini lines and squeezing into breath-constricting skinny jeans. But some of these fashion and beauty practices from history make the act of pouring burning hot wax on sensitive skin, and mercilessly ripping it off look like a simple walk in the park. Taking a look at these excruciating beauty trends reveals how beauty standards can can vary widely in different cultures. Next time you have to lie on the bed and take a deep breath just to zip up your jeans, be thankful a servant isn't lacing up your corset. With all of the dangerous fashion trends throughout history that lead to maiming, discomfort and even death, perhaps the answer to these dangerously restrictive fashion trends can only be found by living in nudist colonies.

10 Europe - Crinoline

9 Worldwide - High Heels

8 Japan and Vietnam - Tooth Lacquering

7 France - Powdered Wigs

6 Europe - Lead face paint

5 Europe - Corsets

4 USA and Europe - Rib Removal

3 Burma - Neck Extension

2 Europe - Stiff High Collars

1 China - Foot Binding

In China, in the 10 th and 11 th century, foot binding or 'lotus feet' became common because tiny feet were revered and seen as more feminine and delicate. The goal of foot binding was to create a foot that was a mere three inches. This could only be achieved by breaking the bones in the feet and restructuring them, a process that sometimes resulted in death from infection and shock and inevitably lead to medical problems throughout one's lifetime. If you survived, mobility was severely limited. The practice didn't end until the early Twentieth century, so some women in China still have feet that are deformed from foot binding. High heels may be uncomfortable after a long night out, but at least they don't result in death.

Head-to-toe retro checks, trainers with everything and '90s tracksuits are making a comeback this season. Wondering why you don't know about all these trends? With working hours getting longer than ever and a hard-to-keep-up social life, it's tough to keep a track of what's happening in the world of fashion and style. To help, we decided to bring you all the cool trends that everyone is talking about, and you should too.

Let's discuss:

1.Check Me

Suits have finally escaped from a total formal zone, into an experimental wearable-for-all-occasions zone. This season is all about check suits in earth tones like clay, moss, and sand.

2.Cool Kicks Are In

Recently a lot of male models and fashion-forward men are opting for smart trainers instead of their regular classic (read: boring) shoe. No matter what your look is you can easily perk it up with a pair of cool sneakers.

3.Ditch The Overcoat

The world of fashion is now looking at bomber jackets as a cool yet fun alternative to overcoats. Pair it with simple T-shirts, distressed jeans and white sneakers. We think it's time to trade in your coats with these cool piece of elevated streetwear.

4.Try A Track Top!

The Tracktop-which combines the attributes of a tracksuit with a top-is possibly the hottest piece of clothing in the market. Pair it with a turtle-neck sweater, skinny jeans and you are good to go.

5.Totes Travel

Tote bags are huge this season. They are spacious, can fit everything and are travel-friendly.

6.Bringing Sexy Back

Love denims? Then there's no way you can lag behind in fashion and comfort that jogger shirts have to offer. It's finally time to ditch old school denim shirts and opt for this cool new invention-like this pair of hybrid denims from MUFTI which will give you the soft feel of a jersey paired with the look of denim.

Why does the Guardian's Weekend magazine major on women's fashion, with a men's lineup only once in a blue moon? We need regular help too, you know.
Rob, by email
Rob, Rob, Rob. My poor fashion-deprived chap. Look, I could spin you a line about how, ACK-SHU-ALL-EE, the magazine now features menswear once every four weeks, which is much more than once in a blue moon, and the Guardian covers the menswear shows, and we do menswear features, and, and, AND ...

But you're right, of course. Womenswear does get more coverage than menswear, in this paper and everywhere else. I wish I could tell you about the secret cabal of fashion gurus who conspire to make this happen, and the annual Bilderberg-style meetings that take place in a chic salon in Paris, where GQ's Dylan Jones is ritually humiliated by Vogue's Anna Wintour and Alexandra Shulman as he begs to be given more attention and they laugh in his face and spray his made-to-order Armani suit with Diet Coke (NO SUGAR!!!!!). But I'm afraid that, if I did, I'd be found strangled tomorrow with a Fendi cashmere scarf. So instead, I'll give you the more prosaic answer.

You want to know why womenswear gets more attention than menswear? Because womenswear can be fabulous, gorgeous, weird, ridiculous, breathtaking, game-changing, enviable, exciting, desirable, wonderful. Menswear, on the other hand, can only be two things: weird or boring. And there's only so much mileage you get from those two qualities.

It's an impossible situation, really. Because men, by and large, are much more conservative about their dress than women and they have fewer garment options to boot; this means there is only so much menswear designers can do. Two options lie before them: don't bother appealing to the mainstream and instead make three-legged trousers and boiler suits, or make boring but nice jumpers and suits. Womenswear can be like this, too - heaven knows there is weird womenswear and boring womenswear. But there is also beautiful, lovely womenswear, and men very rarely get that sweet spot of a middle ground. When they do, they practically implode with excitement, as happened when Hedi Slimane, then at Dior Menswear, managed to make the suit look so cool at the beginning of this century that the menswear magazines all collectively wet themselves (and their new skinny suits.) Since then, somewhat proving my point, Slimane found making even his suits boring and he has ditched menswear for womenswear and is now at Saint Laurent, making some of the coolest dresses and shoes around.

Men can have style - Jarvis Cocker and Charlie Watts have style - but it seems they can't have fashion. What I mean is that men don't have the fun of reading about changing trends, as women do, and playing dress-up, being a severe monochrome one day and then a fun 50s flirt the next. Changeability, I think, is seen as girlish, or something, which is ridiculous. And while it means men do save a lot of money by not trying out trends, it also means they miss out on a lot of fun.

But this isn't just about the limitations of the industry, it is also about the limitations of the customers. We can't blame menswear for being boring because boring, to be honest, is what most men want. Some menswear designers attempt to do more fun-but-not-weird clothes, such as Jonathan Saunders and Marc Jacobs. But the fact is, men don't buy those clothes in the same way women do. Too many men, in my experience, have a grave fear of breaking out of their navy-T-shirt-with-jeans or button-down-shirt-with-dark-trousers rut, fear that they will look stupid. Laughable. Attention-seeking. Camp. Far better to stick with the uniform that renders one invisible than to risk something that makes you visible and might - might - result in you being mocked. Sometimes I marvel at what it must be like to be a man, so riddled with terror that swerving from the tested and oh-so-tired path will result in instant disaster. It is, really, the sartorial equivalent of obsessive dieting, when a person assumes that even a crumb of bread will lead to spontaneous fatness and therefore subsists purely on carrot sticks.

Anyway, the point of this is that men generally read fashion coverage less than women do, as you can see by comparing the circulation figures of men's and women's fashion magazines, which is why newspapers such as this one cover women's fashion more. But the real problem is that we are all caught in a vicious circle when it comes to menswear: men tend to be conservative in their clothes - therefore menswear designers make conservative or, as rebellion, crazy clothes - therefore men don't like to read about men's fashion - therefore they stick with their conservative clothes.

There is only one solution here, Rob. You're going to have to be the trailblazer that breaks this tired mould. Embrace changing trends! Wear fun menswear such as Jonathan Saunders! Encourage your male friends to talk about fashion! Overthrow the status quo! What I'm saying is, BE MENSWEAR'S GANDHI. Make the change! It's a lot to put on one man's shoulders, but I feel sure you can handle it. And, yes, you might think that buying a brightly coloured jumper might not make a difference, but remember: the journey to a million fashion-clued-up men begins with a tiny step. Or jumper.
