Leather in 2010 can take the form of pretty much any item of clothing. If you can name it the odds are that someone’s sent it down the runway in leather. Pants, skirts, shorts, coats, capes, vests; they’re all there. Hermes even pulled out a full leather jumpsuit as part of their aviation-themed collection. So this year Miami online fashion has items that will give you that leather inspired look.
While of course leather bags and belts are nothing new, leather in other types of accessories will, in 2010, be much more common. Leather leggings were huge on the autumn, fall or winter 2010 runways.
How to wear it?
Whilst some collections – like the afore-mentioned Hermes autumn, fall, winter 2009/2010, and Donna - used leather pieces for a classic vintage-inspired look, most 2010 leather fashion pieces fall into the rock-chic and fetish camps. Balmain epitomized the look with tiny skin-tight leather mini dresses, as did Miss Sixty with their zip-covered leather hot pants.
While 2009 fashion color trends featured a vast array on leather colors, the leather in 2010 will revolve around monochromatic and earthy tones.
Yes, Elise Overland’s 2010 collection may feature the likes of teal-green, but such colors are never going to find mass appeal.
Rather, expect to see a big comeback for grey leather, precipitated in part by Rodarte and their grey thigh-high boots. Black is, of course, a safe and unwavering option though if you’re after a country-inspired looks opt for tans and browns
