If you flip through any September issue or click through Street Peeper's recent snaps, you'll find that leggings are everwhere. Don't worry, that isn't the "big topic" of the post. The focus is the fashion industry's incredibly short memory. While the crazy pace of fashion is a common theme, this trend returned before some people could let them go the first time around. Looking back at 2005, leggings were definetly a staple in my wardrobe. By 2006, everyone was donning the body-conscious trend. Now its back, albeit in a fabulous, more textured variety, revisiting our magazines, blogs, and sidewalks.
Get ready for fashion week, chicsters. Its about to be shiny!
WWD reported a trend I've been watching intently, but never acted upon; that is using natural agate and drusy jewelry for fall. With shiny layers of colorful, glossed rock, these accessories, unsurprisingly, create a mysterious, earthy look. Too much, of course, toes the line of making you look like a psychic advisor.
So what's a girl to do if she likes shiny things but lacks fortune-telling abilities?
Anya Hindmarch's new line, Anya Hindmarch Bespoke, offers clients a luxurious, yet personal touch. Unfortunately, most only know her for her "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" and "Be a Bag" totes. But this line is more than a just new craze for the masses. But is it for us? Well, we'll have to wait and see.
Versus, originally launched by Donatella Versace in 1989, is coming back to Milan Fashion Week after a 4-year break. In February, Ms. Versace recruited Christopher Kane to relaunch the brand with an accessories presentation. Versace plans to open 20 Versus stores worldwide by 2010.
Will the world learn to love Donatella's lower-priced line this time around?
