Square Biz


This Balmain motocross jacket is a fresh take on the classic biker jacket. Far more expensive, of course, this $10,505 jacket is top of the line with its detailing. The black shearling adds a warm touch, but its the padded angular shoulders that makes this jacket cutting edge. And for just under $20,000, you can purchase one complete look.

Classic Watch Trend

Since we explored the fad of watch this past week, I was interested and wanted to do more research on the watch trends of this upcoming year. But, what is the phenomenon about watches? We don’t wear them to tell time; at least I know I don’t. They are a fashion statement. We wear watches in order to spice up an outfit; make a simple dress look fancy with a dazzling new watch, or even a casual t-shirt and jeans with a watch added to give it more style. Mostly everyone owns a classic watch, they may be out of style or they may fit in with the new trend of the season. Rather than there classic watch companies, such as Rolex, Cartier, or Bulgari, changing their character, they took them up a notch in order to make them fit in with the new trends of watches. These new watches still have the classic look to them so that people can still distinguish what brand they represent, except they added a twist to them to create a bolder look. Here is a peek at a few watches I found on WWD that I think are gorgeous and innovative.

Romper Craze




This season, rompers and jumpsuits have become a must have for wardrobes all over. This is an item that will be continuing on into future collections. Especially after the recent release of Lindsay Lohan's booking photo, with her wearing the infamous orange prison jumpsuit. Thankfully, we have designers like Bottega Veneta to keep it high end.

Osklen Shoes


Osklen is a Brazilian clothing company that makes upcycled clothing and accessories. What caught my attention were the sneakers. Osklen's sneaker designs are very laid back, comfortable and fashion forward. Osklen makes eco-friendly products using and developing new materials like salvaged substances such as the pirarucu fish skins rejected by the food factories or the silk cocoons discarded by the fabric industry.

Not Just a Label

Hey guys this is a pretty cool site I found that features designers I haven't heard of and it breaks it down to what country they come from and the category that they sell under.

Mixing Prints





Although mixing prints used to be a fashion don't, now mixing prints is a fashion do. I've seen it on the runway as well as on the street. The contrasting of colorful patterns during the spring/summer season seems to be the trend. I think mixing prints is fun and trendy. Balenciaga, Erdem, Cacharel, and Proenza Schouler were all about mixing prints on the runway.

Fashionable Shorts These Movies Have Credits

Culture, Women's Fashion| By AMY THOMAS| June 23, 2010, 2:40 pm Not every creative director can be a Tom Ford, distilling two decades of sexy design into a cool cocktail of stylish cinematography, earning an Oscar nomination in the process. But that isn’t stopping everyone from trying. In a time when the iPad has eclipsed the September issue, and editorial channels are growing while advertising page numbers are shrinking, luxury labels have to promote their collections somehow. The result? A fashion film movement, in full swing. Sierra Roberts M 12:30 Trends & Concepts
