This year is sporting the rock and roll look for 2010, think cult biker jackets, divine day heels, over the knee and over the top patent leather killer boots, rings galore and an uber oversized statement bag.
Any of the above can be teamed with a pretty little dress in order to add an instant rocker edge. This season
Up and coming jewellery designer Dominic Jones only recently launched his debut collection of gold and silver fang inspired pieces and the jewellery connoisseur already has a cult-like fan base. The designer released the uber cool collection in the spring of 2009; he currently employs model and good friend Alice Dellal as his business partner.
All of the pieces in the line offer the perfect mix between dangerous and sexy which is just one of the reasons why his name is currently on the fashion radar. He has in fact been spotted by some of London’s most fashionable.
He creates unique and desirable pieces in the shape of repellent living things and punk symbols which have been made lavish and enviable; his style is extremely simple and chic yet each piece has that added edge which is guaranteed to cause an impact. His gold and silver fang enthused collection is the perfect addition to any outfit, adding a certain rebellious twist to the ensemble. His work is created using five times the usual amount of gold than conventional hard gold plating, due to this process; pieces are able to offer a much higher quality finish.
His jewellery range for autumn and winter 2010 is said to offer a similar style in the shape of a variety of statement animalistic pieces, all of which conger up a hard-hitting yet striking style. Dominic Jones clean cut jewellery is sure set to be on the wish list of every fashionista come autumn.
You may think the new ‘pretty’ trend would be perfectly suited to the more polished and cutesy individual, but this trend has a certain edge and a difficult one in that to pull off. Yes this season is certainly embracing all things pastille and pink combined with girly bows and over the top frill embellishments.
The new pretty suits the likes of controversial stars such as Lily Allen and Florence Welsh. These girls have a definite edge and a lot of attitude and when you think of girly attire, they are not the first to come to mind. They are however the ones who have reinvented the prom dress by simply adding her own style to it and taking that goody two shoes element away from the ensemble, either through the addition of one of this season’s dramatic wigs or a pair of old school sneakers. This is the new pretty, a look thats girly yet still screams don’t mess with me.
This trend shouldn’t look like hours have been spent tweaking it, forget the glossy lashes and polished skin and think something more edgy. Team a backpack with a lace number; add a cute floral cardigan to a rock tee or throw a pair of killer chunky clogs into the mix and you’ll have this trend down to a tee.
This look is all about adding a little individuality and a little fierceness to the mix, don’t be scared to rip the hem off that girly prom dress and most importantly let your character shine through
