Rodarte SS11

GOLUPTIOUS GOLD

The Mulleavy Sisters, have piqued my interest at New York Fashion Week SS 11, with the usage of leather pieces, textures of earth tones of whites mixed with golds, light browns and tans, merged with blues and dark plums, finding inspiration from their North California backyard, displaying the surburbia wood panelling and redwoods, radiated also to the footwear.

New York Fashion week SS10 Shoes

Rodarte SS10

Laura and Kate- They aged, painted, burned, shredded, sandpapered, and otherwise destroyed all of the materials including grungy scraps of plaid, plastic, cheesecloth, wool cobweb, crystals, macramé, leather, and more until they reached complete originality. I loved the omokuso brilliant mesh of colour and texture and print, amazing leather work. crochet and tulle, with the radioactive backdrop. Along with providing a dark sullen vibe but still with gentle romantic fluidity.  

Leather Everywear

Bike to Boudoir Leather 2009/2010

I feel acquiring leathers, are always a recherché investment, and all of my leathers are Jackets/Gloves/Hats. It seems now, leather should be welcomed as just another fabric, and not only resigned for outerwear. Designers from Alexander Wang to, Preen, Rick Owens and Balmain and dressful of others embraced leather as if it was the new sheer fabric. This just gives me another excuse to buy one more additional leather jacket and a leather skirt. Maybe I could wear my scooter helmet that I got from Barcelona with my leathers, who needs a motorbike for all out leathers.
