If you ask us, studs and leather are the best combination of things since macaroni and cheese. And we’re not the only ones. Leather and studs have been a big hit for decennia. You can spot them anywhere in the streets. It doesn’t even have to be fashion week.
Yet if you wanna see some true treasure examples you’ll have to go to Milan, London, Paris and New York. During the latest fashion season we’ve seen the tough trend popping up everywhere. We saw some cool examples on shoes, bags and leather jackets worn by women as well as men.
Anna dello Russo wore her studded leather Versace for H&M dress as one of the first in the world. And since that collection has just been launched, we expect the trend only to get bigger.
In bloggerland there’s even a serious trend of Do It Yourself studded fashion items. So next season we’re sure going to be seeing many more studded styles on the streets.

They’re a nightmare if you wear them while riding a bike, but other than that the maxi skirt is one of the greatest fashion pieces we’ve seen in years. It has been around for two or three seasons now and it seems like we still haven’t had enough of it. More and more colors and styles are popping up. So besides black we now have bold colors and prints too. And instead of sheer skirts girls are wearing denim and velour versions. We expect the maxi skirt to stay at least throughout this winter, ’cause it can easily be worn with thick tights to keep you warm.
Here you can find our top 5 of maxi skirts we photographed during fashion week.
If you’re still figuring out what kind maxi skirt would be nice, take a look at the gallery below.

For years they were assumed to be dull and old fashioned, but thanks to designers like Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney polka dots are top notch again. A year ago wearing a polka dot dress might have been a woman’s worst nightmare, now all girls want to get their hands on this fabulous print. Dresses, skirts, bags and even tights with polka dots on them have become the it-items of this fall/winter.
The good thing about it is: you will never have enough. Besides the blouse you’ll need a skirt, tights, scarf and even shoes with polka dots. Plus, after you’ve collected all the classic shades (blue, black, white, red) you can always start to collection the less obvious colors like neon, purple and orange.
Once surrender to this trend you’ll discover it’s Way Fun!

There are a few things every woman should definitely have this winter. Some are more basic than others, but if you’re fashion girl these items are a necessity. They’re fashionable enough to be completely on trend. Yet there also simple enough to be able to mix & match them with items from your own wardrobe.
Our Winter Musthave list contains the following items:
A warm coat can become your best friend in winter. Make sure you buy one that keeps you warm, can last throughout the winter season and is stylish as well.
The minimalistic trend is still hot in fashion land. Make sure you get your hands on the simplest dress you can find and you’ll look effortlessly chic.
A great item to make a fashion statement and a great solution to a bad hair day too. Fedora of Floppy, choose your favorite!
Youthful & innocent; that’s the look you get when wearing a sixties dress. Opt for a version with checks and, if you dare, a Peter Pan collar.
You don’t have to be a bondage fan to pull of this look. Just opt for a cool black leather piece (jacket, dress) and style it in your own way.
(Fake) Fur is hot every winter, yet this time around it’s more colorful and playfull than ever before. If a coat’s too much, just opt for a vest or stola.
The jewel tones, introduced by Gucci, are the colors of this season. Emerald, Citrine, Amethyst or Ruby; pick your favorite!
As if they don’t have enough for their selves this winter the ladies are still borrowing from their men’s wardrobe. A cool masculine suit never goes too waste.
Stella and Marc nailed the polka dot trend with their f/w collections and now we all want to get our hands on this trend. You can see it on dresses, sweaters, skirts and even on tights. Sexy!
Wishlist
Don’t have enough curves of your own? Fake it with a round shaped dress or a jacket with puffy arms. Some shiny version might be your best option.
The forties are back, which means skirt lengths have dropped a few inches. This winter you wear your pencil skirt below the knee.
And while skirts are getting longer, necklaces are supposed to be short. The choker probably is your best option and the coolest way to wear it is over a blouse.
You eather love it or hat it, but busy prints are one of the big trends this winter. Wear multiple prints in one look if you’re a real daredevil.

It was one of the biggest streetstyle trends of this season: neoncolored fashion items. The bright and funky colors popped up at every fashion week. We saw fluorescent lime, eclectic green, bright orange and neon pink everywhere.
The daredevils wore neon in their actual clothing, others opted for bright accessories like bags (satchel bags, clutches) and shoes.
A smart choice, since a touch of neon is the easiest way to pimp your whole look and go from dull to daring.
Especially on a sunny day those neon shades make a great fashion statement.

Ladies, don’t try this at home! Unless you’re up for some kind of theme party, of course. ‘Cause these crazy beauty looks are best worn only on the runway.
Golden bags under your eyes (Gareth Pugh), highlighted strong brows (Frankie Morello), the nose of a Dalmation dog (Unique), some colorful confetti (Gray) or just a big splash of red paint (Viktor & Rolf), these were the craziest make-up looks we spotted for fall/winter 2011/2012.

Trend Report FW2011: Chunky Chokers

It can look kinda extreme, but if you mix a choker with the right kind of outfit, it will look stunning.
Now there are a couple of rules when wearing this neckpiece.
Unless you’re name is Anna dello Russo keep it subtle! A choker is already a strong statement piece so don’t choose the biggest one in the bunch.
Also, let the choker speak and don’t overshadow it by wearing an edgy outfit.
Wear a strapless top/dress or opt for a round neckline.
Leave your earrings and hairaccessories at home.
Never wear it too tight. You don’t wanna get out of breath.
Just look at some of the amazing examples Balmain, Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors, Yves Saint Laurent and Ungaro set. You gotta love it!

In winter time a good coat can be your very best friend. Rain, storm, snow or freezing cold; these comfy examples will get you through any kind of weather.
And it seems long and hairy is the way to go. Camel coats are over, it’s all about (fake) fur right now.
Also search for a jacket in which different textures are combined. Wool and leather, nylon and fur; it’s the mixture of fabrics that will make you(r coat) stand out.
Finally, if you bump into a structural coat, buy it! Accentuated shoulders, wide sleeves; this autumn it’s all about extreme forms and shapes.
Just look at the amazing coats Burberry, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Dries van Noten presented on the runway.
Trend Report FW2011: Minimalism 2.0

The Blumarine show was all about two of last season’s trends: color blocking and minimalism. And lucky for the Italian brand both trends are still a hit this fall.
Though slightly different, the minimalism trend is again very popular.
Chloé and Celine, who started the trend at first, have headed into a new direction, yet Calvin Klein and Jil Sander continue on with the minimalism.
The trend is shown in a slightly different way with more combinations of fabrics and even a print every now and then. Shapes however are staying very plain and simple, like we saw this summer.
Check the minimalism interpretations of Lanvin, Valentino, Rick Owens and Costume National in the gallery below.
