SUEDE AND LEATHER


write down 2 words:
LEATHER and SUEDE


This summer a new trend has come, winter fabrics are again into the runways. Leather and suede are the two favourites. It might be because those two were massively used in the seventies that designers have brought them back.

If we talk about leather i would say go for a

... A line mini skirt

or go just a bit tighter if you want to keep it short...

and if you want to wear a pencil skirt make sure is long enough, stay classy.

Celine
Kate Moss in leather

Dresses and playing suits can also be made by leather, i would say be futuristic in terms of construction; (clean plain pannels of fabrics) but add a touch of equestrian.

Cynthia Steffe

Chloe

Hermes
The leather is so in, some brands like Celine has used an outfit made of it for their advertisment campaign.

and if We do talk about suede...

This summer the earth colours from the Sahara came, these tones look amazing in suede. This fabric although is a normally used in winter has a summery style, because it has this casualness and bohemian appearance, that remind us to a nomad life.


Jackets, blouses, pants, and of course shoes and accessories. Suede is use throughout all our wardrobe.

Sienna Miller
Combining suede, with soft silky materials it is a great idea, to be more dress up in this trend.

Loewe
I will not advise you to combine leather with suede as although it is beautiful, you may feel you are boiling inside your outfit.
