Fingerless Gloves F/W 06.07

I think they can look cool but definitely in my opinion they're NOT for outfits like that Lohan one above...

I bought a pair of the striped ones at Marc by Marc Jacobs, only to go to Search and Destroy and see the EXACT ones. Now I know where you stock your trinkets, Marc.

I totally agree. Lindsay's outfit was a disaster - she tried to mix such a beautiful, chic dress with cheap looking gloves. It ruined it. She went completely overboard. And the thing is... I actually LIKE fingerless gloves. You just have to wear them right.... not like she did, pairing a punk style, cotton-y pair with a dress like that.

i love them, i have been cutting the fingers off all my vintage gloves for years, but they are very punk rock and need to be worn with the right outfit.

Some Finger-less gloves especially the lace ones worn in the 80's by Madonna and Cyndi Lauper are very sexy...IMO

The hottest fingerless glove I've seen are from Dutch Magazine, the international art and fashion publication, I'll publish the web address and designer name here in a moment...

It's 2002 #38, I'm not sure about the ettiquite of advertising, though I understand blatant advertising which I haven't even done on MySpace at this point, I'm private clients and PM me if this breaks a rule or 2...

The designer is Laura Shepard and she creates very beautiful pieces as featured in Dutch, she's noted as Holland's only glove designer in the article.

She refers to them as T-shirts for hands...

Yeah, I'll fit in quite well at the spot, it was nice to see the gloves again since I haven't in about 1 or more years, even though the are intruiging to a degree...

True, though fingerless gloves can also be driving gloves and very chic if the wardrobe is constructed properly from head to toe; picture a woman in all black and charcoal, a luxury car driver with minimal jewelry and personal touches...

To be sure it can be either very seductive and vampire femme or very tomboy in nature...


For some it brings vision of street, for me it's visions of Europe...

Though we're disussiong trends and it's a bit outdated to be sure, and to create a seperate quotable comment, I always picture Madonna in her hitwoman video...

Yes, she picks up grandmother in the car with T-tops in New Jersey and goes on a wild spree, and yes it was banned from American television, though some Europeans and those on other continents may remember what I'm taling about, and when I picture fingerless gloves it's one of the first visions to come to mind, aside from current runway trends...

Then I go to what's hot and a reoccuring theme now, though that is my foundation element and reference to the fingerless gove, as if you were curios...!!!LOL!!!

I had better log many more studio hours before that becomes the hot topic of The Spot...! many more...!!!
