Lately head jewelery has been making a comeback. The once popular trend had been gone for a while, but we hope it’s here to stay. Head jewelery has always made a statement. It allows for everyone to express their individual style, while still maintaining a fashionable voice. There is often an issue of quantity when it comes to head jewelery, but if you keep it exciting and simple you really can’t go wrong.

Dazed and Confused:

Gender has seemed to find its way into a ton of ads and print lately. Marc jacobs recently featured Cole Mohr in dresses with handbags showing off his feminine side. Same goes for Luke Worhl who was shot in heels and a feather boa for his Dazed and Confused photoshoot. Then there was Missoni who recently did a photoshoot that was very sugguestive towards lesbianism. The images show one girl assume the facial and body language that a male would display while the other still seems to maintain her female aspet of relationship. 

These days, anything goes when it comes to gender, sexual preference, or fetishism. So why not display this in advertising? Bigger name fashion houses like Missoni are even playing on this idea, probebly haveing something to do with how much lesbianism has been in the news lately (think Lidsay and Sam). Whatever the reason, these ads are surely very attention driven. 

So loving this bag spotted by Susie Bubble. It’s a $180 vintage inspired gem from Olive’s Very Vintage, a Brooklyn based boutique. Don’t lie, you know you want it. I can totally see this becoming something, so show some support and pick up the egg.

Goddamnit!!! I was afraid this might happen. I haven’t been on The Cobra Snake for sometime but today I jumped on to check out some photos from recent events I’m not cool enough to get invited to. Anywho, aside from being shocked by the unforgiving amounts of Henry Holland candids, I spotted the photo above in one of the galleries. Why hipster scum, why?!? There is no need to support Crocs. They are ugly little monsters that make you look like a complete fly-over state reject. Please, do not copy this trend. No one needs to support Crocs rise. 

Wait. Just realized something. Crocs are to the Millennium, as Sketchers are to the 90’s.  Damn, that’s a scary thought. On a side note, isn’t it time Sketchers got cool again, eh?

Skip the bow and opt for a more geometrically pleasing gift bow effect on your accessories. Here are two of our faves from Mason Martin Margiela. Both available at BrownsFashion.

I am quickly becoming obsessed with looking like a bum. Seriously, it’s like some weird fashion turn-on when I see people dressed in designers labels that look distressed or carrying an iconic handbag that’s been destroyed with wear.  I sense that “instant vintage” is becoming a newish trend and that more and more mainstream designers will pick up the look that indies like 3:33 Footwear have made a must have.

One spot that seems to feel in agreement to the trend is Hollywood Trading Company, a little shop out of California that has an amazing selection of vintage feeling work boots. Of course, if you can’t find a designer willing to destroy their goods for you, there’s always Beacons Closet or Buffalo Exchange, where you will find a great selection of pre-worn boots and footwear at rock bottom prices.

Some might say “Crack is Whack” but a new slew of butt crack fashions have been hitting the runway and the bodies of some of fashions most notable players.  Suddenly Lindsay Lohan’s SNL skit on Coin Slot Exfoliants doesn’t seem so ridiculous.

Indie Media member Trend de la Creme has picked out some perfect little panties to showcase your back ends. Check them out here.

Loving this look from Armani, normally don’t like mainstream designers (obviously) nor would I buy any of these pieces, but I do love the fitted tux jacket, shear top, and really over sized neck tie bow that adds omph to the black and white outfit.

Another season, another questionable trend, although many have not appreciated runway trends we’ve seen so far (including the man clutch, pepto pink suiting, and tutus). Here is another one many won’t appreciate; man leggings. Corey has been talking about the look for weeks, and we still haven’t come up with a verdict. So we are asking you indies, what do you think? Would ya wear these?

Everything that is old is new again….

For all of you people who are shocked were doing this, buckle your fashion seatbelts because this is happening. There are some people who just look great pregnant (Angelina Jolie), and others who don’t (anyone under the age of 21). We were going to write about this weeks ago when we first noticed this obvious trend, but then all those skanks from Gouchester, MA had to get pregnant and ruin the trend for everyone. As much as we don’t really care about how politcally incorrect we are, we weren’t about to try to push a trend with that mess going on. Regardless,there are so many pregnant celebrities out there lately that the trend was unstopable. You know it’s a trend when teenagers are doing whatever they need to obtain it, hence beating up people in Toys R’ Us for Furbies or sleeping with a 24 year old homeless man to get pregnant. Say what you want but pregnancy is so “in”, and though I’m saying this, it does not mean that you should be going out and getting knocked up because it’s trendy. So unless you are absolutely ready for a kid, be mega trendy and go buy so Marc Jacobs condoms or just avoid the risk completely and keep your awesome clothes on.

Thierry Mugler

Dries Van Noten

Many designers used gray this season to highlight other brightly colored accessories. For example, Thierry Mugler used gray suits to punctuate the stark black and white gangster shoes, and Dries Van Noten showed us that camel shoes and man bags look amazing with patterned gray pants.

We’ve covered the man bag before, but as recently seen on the runways, I think the man clutch will soon be making its ways into store fronts. Above are two of the most famous men in fashion carrying non other than a man clutch.

How bout it man indies, would ya wear these?

I just received a comment from Sarah Zucker, a fellow blogger, who is wearing a trendspark we recently wrote about; pepto pink. Thanks Sarah for the pic.

Without a doubt, this will be all over the world in about a week. Coolest thing out of Williamsburg in some time, plus Aggy wears them. They’re Jewish Rosaries and they feature the jewish star on rosary beads. Yeah, genius.

Now you can totally recite the Torrah while praying over your favorite Old Testament characters. Judaism Rocks!!!  You can find Jewish Rosaries here.

This seasons collections have been filled with this bright sort of obnoxious color, and Fashionista has put together some of the current looks straight from the runways.

Would ya wear this color indies?

This season, we’ve seen some of the most surprising male models hit the runways. First, Vivienne Westwood sends out beef cake bodyguards, then DSquared showcased an almost all ethnic cast, now Yohji Yamamoto sent out several gray-haired models who were over 60, one of whom happened to be artist-turned-filmmaker Steve McQueen, who just won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival. “The situation is, I’m not a skinny white boy, I’m the complete opposite,” McQueen told the AP. “I heard the audience gasp a bit when I came in.”

Is this the designers way of saying that clothes can be worn by anyone, whether hot male model or old guy? I guess it works, but that really defeats the purpose of having hotties on the catwalk!

The last couple events we have attended have been featuring Organic Alcohol choices for drinks. The eco friendly movement has definately established its presence in the fashion world. These two drinks were suprisingly tasty, but on the weak side when it comes to the alcohol content. And when your day consists of talking about some of the worst fashion attempts known to man, well Fashion Indie prefers the strong stuff.
