As promised I am back with volume II of the Styllogy lesson- ' The Deadly Fashion'
So girls here is another staple for your wardrobe- SPIKES & STUDS!
Don’t give me that weird look! It’s not the usual deep kholed eyes, fishnet stocking or spiked hair that I'm going to tell you about. This season’s spikes & stud trend is a perfect mix of the feminine and the masculine, a mix which is lethal yet subtly classic and uber fashionable, just like a Bond movie! Rolling cars, hard core action, obnoxious villain, beautiful tuxes, the hot 007 bond but the most important part, the even hotter bond lady! Just the perfect feminine add on.
Going down fashion timeline this style trend wasn't even a fashion in the first place, but an anti fashion urban youth street culture, emerged way back in the mid 70’s in London as an anarchic and aggressive movement. It was only when designers Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren merged together to open their store ‘SEX’ and personified this fashion trend that this style took main stream and got popular as what we now know as the ‘Punk fashion’. Spikes, studs, metal, leather and military boots, all became a strong statement and synonymous with punk.
This trend has inspired movie costumes, runways and the red carpets. The latest flick, Snow White and the Huntsman's costume designer, Colleen Atwood, has done an exquisite job with spikes and studs for the movie's larger than life costumes. Likewise, world’s leading fashion house, Versace has joined hands with Swedish based H&M for a exclusive collection that has distinctive emphasis on spikes and studs embellishments. This trend is a favorite of Grammy award winners Rihanna and Lady Gaga and is displayed by many Hollywood celebrities on red carpets as well as in their everyday wear.
