NEXT: Super Bowl Style

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on February 6, 2010
Honestly, I’m not even going to pretend I know squat about Sunday’s super bowl, or football in general. All I know is the fashion industry has a surprisingly large number of football fans as evidenced by some SS10 collections.
.
Let’s start of with the easy stuff. Alexander Wang & Alexander Herchcovitch both showed football shaped clutches in their SS10 collections:

I love the “Brady” clutch. I was holding it the other day, trying to decide if it’s the kind of thing one could actually use in everyday life, or if Wang made it just for kicks (no pun intended). It’s pretty fantastic in that it’s not as gimmicky as a football clutch could have been. I’d definitely wear it!

The rest of the Herchcovitch & Wang collections are pretty straight forward. They both have the big shoulder pads going on & most of the Alexander Wang pieces look particularly sporty…

Which is why we’re moving on to the abstract!
Alexander McQueen showed this glossy black football shaped clutch in the SS10 show:

Oh wait, she already rocks that look everyday

TREND: Miu Miu sets the tone for 2010 Grammys Red Carpet

Posted in By Em, TREND by styleinspades on February 1, 2010
There is no question that last night’s color of choice was…well a lack of color I suppose. Nude is definitely in style for spring.
.
Additionally, nude with a little sparkle seems to be the look people are going for.
Most likely, inspiration came from the Miu Miu SS10 runway.
