SHOP Bess: Thigh Tights, $396

My leather binge strikes again! Leather leggings are all the rage right now, and leave it up to the designers at Bess to make a pair worth every penny. Bess’ thigh tights are a cotton lycra pant with stretch lambskin leather, thigh high legs. The stretch stitching and seems at the knees make these leggings not only fashionable, but comfortable and resilient!

SHOP Oak: Black Asymmetric Studded Skirt, $124

The merchandise at Oak keeps getting better and better, and just in comes this awesome black asymmetric studded skirt! Honestly, what’s better than leather (ok, it’s faux leather…but that’s besides the point), studs and zippers?

SHOP Pixie Market: Leather Prize Ribbon Brooch, $132

I’ve been looking for the next clever accessory, and I think I may have found it in this awesome, 100% leather prize ribbon brooch! Complete with a gunmetal fastening pin, I love how what used to be a charming little ribbon is morphed into an edgy, leather conversation piece. No need for scarves or jewelry, this ribbon does all the talking!

RUNWAY: Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2010


Ann Demeulemeester has done it again! Combining the world’s two sexiest elements, leather and skin, Demeulemeester’s Spring 2010 collection is a minimalist version of biker-chic. We’ve seen a lot of leather this season, and while I can’t get enough of it, the best part of Demeulemeester’s collection is undoubtedly the birdcage inspired accessories and shoes.
QUEST: Which S/S 2010 Trends Best Translate to the Streets?


This season, we’ve seen everything from the one legged pant look, courtesy of Bernhard Willhelm, to the multi layered look from Rodarte and tons of leather via Gareth Pugh and many more…what do you think we’ll see on the streets of NY?
STYLE: Dita Von Teese in Head to Toe Leather


Dita Von Teese rocks an all black leather look to the John Galliano for Dior show.
Earlier she tweeted: “Headed to Dior in full blown 50’s domina leather. If Mr. Dior were to design a suit for a dominatrix, this is how it would look.”

AD-DICT: Christy Turlington for Yves Saint Laurent


Christy Turlington shines in the new Yves Saint Laurent campaign, a series of photos that never fail to make me wish I was a 35 year old women in Paris (so I could maybe rock these looks). Click to Christy posing in a leather jumpsuit, not an easy feat even for an expert supermodel, and the new Yves Saint Laurent “it” shoes.
RANDOM COOL: Laser Cut Leather

Dresses by Iona Crawford, this laser cutting (which is easy for designers because leather doesn’t fray) gives the backs of her dresses a dead-tree look, which I have some odd fascination with. The bottom patterns are by student Kasia Bishop, and show how the laser cutting works. Look out for this trend, as a lot of designers are catching on.
