Style Buzz Marc Jacobs references Spong Bob Square Pants for Louis Vuitton and Luella shows Batman outfits for the spring season. If you’re sick of scouring all those street style blogs, the Garbage Pail Kids and Archie comics are totally an untapped source of fashion inspiration.
Style Buzz This puffy Marc by Marc Jacobs headband as seen on Mary-Kate Olsen is the obvious evolutionary progression from the Prada turban. The only way to prove you’re a slave to fashion is by wearing headgear that is, objectively speaking, crazy.
Style Buzz Telegraph UK examines the phenomenon of women wearing minimiser bras to fit into trendy boy-cut clothing. Time to take out those breast implants! How else are you going to fit into the Spring 2008 3.1 Philip Lim collection?
Style Buzz We’ve been noticing floral and brightly-patterned tights all over the fashion blogs. Remember that weird trend from 15 years ago of sheer shirts that made you look like you had tattooed arm-sleeves? That’s what these remind us of. We wish we could be teleported back to a Contempo Casuals circa 1993.
Style Buzz This giant handbag trend simply will not die. Maybe it’s part of the eco-bag trend, but toting around a mini-suitcase guarantees that you’ll always pretty much be up for whatever, whether it’s a trip to Whole Foods or a slumber party.
Style Buzz Garments which use very few seams, creating a sleeker and less bulky shape. Fans include Cameron Diaz and Christina Ricci No more bulky knits! We could never quite get that belted-Cosby-sweater outfit to look right anyway.
Style Buzz Avant drop-crotch pants are the new skinny jeans. On one hand, you won’t have to worry about wedgies, cameltoe, or visible panty lines. On the other, we can’t imagine they’d be flattering on any body type.
Style Buzz Topshop’s new spring theme draws inspiration from tie-dye and ikat prints. We were picturing Sienna Miller dressed as some sort of cyberhacker, but the official definition is “Aztec with a technological twist.”
Style Buzz Sheer pantyhose are replacing opaque legs at the spring collections. Sure, they’re impractical, but you’ll make everyone else look frumpy with their cozy wool tights and warm legs.
Style Buzz Ikat—fabrics made with a resist-dying techniques—are a hit on the runway. Ethnic inspired looks are everywhere from high fashion designers like Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and Armani to chain stores like Zara and Top Shop and handmade items on Etsy. Even in home decor Ikat is the motif of the moment.
Style Buzz We’ve been seeing them around for awhile but these Balenciaga ads mean they’re here to stay. Sigh, we have no idea where to find a structured floral brocade dress. We assume even an eBay search would turn up fruitless.
Got 'em.
Bunny bathtime is the new hot thing. All the bunnies are doing it…
