As previously discussed, designers have decided that just because the economy sucks doesn't mean your wardrobe has to. Though most people are trying to save every cent they've got, designers think you should do just the opposite - spend every last penny you have on their fabulous furs, seductive sequin dresses, and lush leathers.
Just like fur, there has been a sea of leather sent down the runway. YSL's is offering leather jump suits. Givenchy and Nina Ricci sent out leather jackets. And everyone from Balmain (surprise, surprise) to Micheal Kors have shown us skin-tight, sexed-up dresses.Now don't go run out and buy a Sarah Palin jacket. Before you add leather to your "must have" list for next fall, make a note to yourself that black and brown leather is the extent of the leather love on the runway.
p.s. Totally unrelated, but every time I think of the word black I hear Belle Epoque's Black is Black. I know, weird. But if you are looking for some awesome entertainment, check out the live video here.

I looove leather jackets. A few weeks ago, I was in Boston at this incredible vintage store and they had the best selection of leather jackets I've ever seen... I wanted them all!
That leather dress in fantastic... I wish I had a decent leather jacket but the only one I have is a vintage one I picked up at a music festival when I was pretty drunk and if I added a few studs and patches I would definitely look like a punk.

Love leather,
definately a fave.
Love Balmain and Christophe's dresses too!
Love, B.
I love leather, but only black or tan..any other colour looks cheap in my opinion.
But still, I'm always on the hunt for something classic and leather to invest in.
I have a buttery soft leather vest that I love. Nothing like a quality piece to keep your wardrobe afloat.
Leather jackets add such a cool edge to outfits. I am still on the lookout for the perfect one!
Have you seen the leather shorts people have been showing for Fall? It is like there are no seasons anymore.
Lovin' the brown suit! Not sure if I am ready to be lovin' leather altogether though. Now, a great old beat up leather armchair...that's a different story:)

I hear you loud and clear. With recession being the key word, I love how this season has taken the opulence to a whole new level and then embraced it, urging the customer to indulge!
Still, I adore leather, fur (vintage or faux) and feathers, so I either buy from vintage stores or invest in leather products that I cannot stop myself from having.
Ah, yes, sold. Sucker.
Haha, have a lovely weekend
There's something about leather (especially leather skirts) that makes men go wild! I've always wondered why since its never really appealed to me. But there is something about a leather jacket that politely though bluntly says 'don't mess with me'! xxx
Thanks for commenting on my blog.
Yours is quite lovely.

I've always loved leather!! I have one leather jacket I always wear, I've had it for like, 3 years and I'm looking for the exact same one, so when this one is worn out and tattered I can have another just like it! lol! No luck so far, but I'll keep looking :)
Great post!
