LEATHER.LEATHER.LEATHER



From tough love, to trendsetter, leather has been around forever & just continues to be reinvented in bigger & better ways. The leather micro mini is a perfect staple for any fashion lover, with its hugging fabric, its shiny or worn texture & the classic shape, creates the illusion of sky high legs. Worn with a simple tee the leather mini is for everyday, wear with a sheer black chambray & your ready to hit the party scene. Throw on a leather jacket & some lace stockings & your winter ready for those cold months. For the daring try leather shorts in a simple paper bag waist and cuffed hem with a statement belt & a look that shows less is more while showing your tough side. The leather A line dress is big this summer, being lightweight and asymmetrical, the cuts are perfect for showing your boyish side & emphasising your legs, & facial features with your hair pulled tightly back into a neat chignon. From this we can venture towards the leather tee, worn with bike shorts or simple black jeggings, the leather tee is perfect for those with a smaller bust as it emphasises the shape of the body rather & takes the focus from the bustline. & for the absolute daring, the leather bustier makes a return in a casual way, worn with denim cutoffs or a printed skirt, a bustier emphasises the womanly shape & shows off your most flattering parts, between the breasts & stomach. Whether asymmetrical, embellished or studded, the bustier is for the brave at the heart & will definately steal the show.
 So be brave, take a walk on the wild side & show your inner animal.
