10 Trendy Beats

It's NYFW time again and as a fashionista it is my duty to keep atop of all things trendy. And while I love fashion, I feel that there is more to it then clothes. It blends the boundaries between art, craft and culture and represents lives and loves of the individuals that we see daily.

Trendy beat #1

Peplums!
And I'm taking you backstage of Jason Wu


Here's an old Marchesa one



Trendy Beat #2

Textures
And that means quilting, studs, jewels, and funny hairy bits

Look! Texture on a peplum:


At Ralph Lauren


Tory Birch




Trendy Beat #3
Slick Pony's


 At Donna Karan and Bill Blass respectively

Ralph went simple and straight too.

Trendy Beat #4

Colours. Bright ones.



Aqua, orange, yellows



And as always, bright red. Pucker up!

Trendy Beat #5

Flower Power! and Tribal





There's an aboriginal dot painting on that dress :)

Trendy Beat #6

Tattoo Art
Amanda Wachob keeps with the flower theme

Scott Campbell's egg
On the back of Howie D

Trendy Beat #7
Androgyny
(is such a hard word to spell)

With American states slowly updating marriage laws, more boys embracing their girly side and transgender ops on the rise, culture is astonishing fashion and the world. Yet again.

First there was Marlene, Boy George and Grace Jones:






And now I give you, Andrej:






































Lea:



and Saskia:
 


















Trendy Beat #8
Oceans '12






Trendy Beat #9

Furniture and Fittings
Strangely enough, while looking through Casa Vogue and the net I realised that while interior colours comply with clothes, their designs do not. Huh.

Daddy Long Legs light from Downtown



From the designer of (my favourite!) the Bloom chair, Kenneth Cobonpue's Rapunzel chair!

Piro Lissoni for Living Divani

Trendy Beat #10

             
              Stripes            
             
Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, colourful, sequin-full or sailored for, stripeiness is back on the line

Bill Blass
