New Punk Wedding








New Punk Wedding
I have noted my rather incessant hand wringing over the minimalist trend being pushed by designers, and its implications for all of us. God bless the end of July, when the fall fashion spreads start gathering force. The spread so far have assuaged my fears. It seems the teeth of this surge of minimalism is in a retro cool, pintucked sheath dress type glamour- which is utterly fantastic for me and every other woman out there with 40 inch hips.

The colors aren’t dimming either, but glowing in jewel tones, from hues of Kitchenaid teal or Mustang red. These fits swimmingly with the heavy necklaces and pave settings emerging in jewelry, but even these accessories have a season or two at most, given their decadence. Then it's back to studs and hoops in shiny silver!

With the reduction in accessories, there will be a return to designer names and logos. If there are less details, layers, and accessories, the one reliable way to stand out fashionably is to have immaculate tailoring (thus requiring upper end design) or to wear the logo of your favorite design house.
