Looking for an alternative to black tights and leggings?

I'm a huge fan of leggings and tights of all colours and textures. It does not take a genius to notice that, yes, this trend will not be leaving our drawers any time soon with it's prominence in Spring 07 and Fall 07 collections. A new spin leggings can be seen in Danielle Scutts youthful and funky take on the over-worn trend.

Pictures are from the London East show " A nursery for new talent" as style.com puts it.

Giles Fall 2007

Giles Deacons collection was inspired by a love of nature. His outerwear was bombarded by over-sized, thick cable knit scarfs and head wraps, however, his use of colour grabbed the essence of a fall forest with bright orange, green and brown hues. Feathers decorated everything from head pieces to footwear. The large wool sweaters were not on my list of things to be desired, their bulkiness did nothing to compliment the female form. My favourite pieces were the playful, colourful and texturized evening dresses. Among my favourite was a short, deep rich purple satin cocktail dress with puffy 1800's inspired sleeves and embellished colar.

LONDON Fashion week Begins

The fashionista's of this world will be making their way from NYC to London this week to embrace and review the British designers take on fall fashion. I found many of the shows in NY to be on the conservative side, and rightfully so, with a target audience of the wealthy american socialite. However, it was great to see a fresh colourful street-trendy collection from House of Holland with slogan tee's littered with kitche catch phrases such as "Wham, Bam, Thank you Stam" and "I've got more than a handful for Naomi Campbell".

GREAT accent for skinny jeans and tights!
