Androgyny to Meet Goth Fashion Come Fall

Heather — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:33:25 +0000

Afira, a British label, is looking to bring back romantic gothic fashions in a major way — and, it has to be said, from what I have seen, they are doing it very well.

Androgyny is a major trend in the coming seasons; it is that one intriguing leitmotif that keeps cropping up again and again, both for men’s fashions and women’s fashions.

That is the signature twist for Afira’s fashions as well. There is something decidedly raw and masculine in the leather pieces of this collection, which perfectly complement the dainty elements to be found in the sheer fabrics and figure hugging designs.

So I for one am looking forward to seeing gothic fashions emerge into the mainstream. This is extremely well done, both elegant and edgy.

Women’s Leather Trend 2010: For Winter!

It seems that when you talk about fashion right now, it is all about colors and all about the breezy and flowing fabrics – however, come 2010, it is all about the hard-edges and leather fabrics in clothing styles. It is no great secret that the leather jacket is actually something that has become like a best friend in the wintertime; however, there are many different ways that leather seems to be peeking into the fashion world and down the runway for 2010.

Take these three looks you know – the leather pants is the first one and while I am not a fan of leather pants for the wintertime, I am certainly a fan of leather itself. The middle picture is a leather skirt, gloves, boots and jacket – and hat. To me, that is too much leather but to this designer, it’s not enough!

Finally, the last look is more futuristic in its look as the top is leather and the bottom is fabric. All together – it looks weird, but who am I to judge it? After all – I don’t even like leather unless it is shoes really!

Bangle Bracelets: They Are All The Rave This Spring Season!

Honestly, in this day and age, fashion is something that is constantly changing and it only makes since that the fashion accessories themselves would change as well and they did! Take the spring hot accessories – they are hot but do they really go with anything? Bangle bracelets is what I am talking about and I am not talking about the thin ones either, the bigger and wider the better.

The material and/or fabric that the bangle bracelet is made out of makes a huge difference too, leather and beads are very in nowadays but if you are looking for fabric, you can get one – just make sure that it is pretty wide and pretty huge and you should really be in fashion.

So do I like this fashion trend for the spring? Hell no! I think that giant bangle bracelets looks freakin’ stupid, but I want to make sure that all of you are up to date on all that is going on in the fashion world!
