It's already big now, and I really like it, it's one of my favourite trends theis season.

The coats in this fabrics look interesting, but difficult to wear.

 

[thedairycow]

I think I'll give this look a pass. They remind me too much of 1996.

great trendspotting here, i could adapt this but either on 'pastel or faded shades' or the red version (which goes very well with the new pales)as at the second Marni post

black looks a bit too 'punkish' /60s for me, but its could look cool on someone else

 

[MulletProof]

nice thread, skirted!.
it's been going strong since last season, hasnt it?. i wish i'd find a skirt..or a jacket...i find gloss accesories a little too overdone.

the gloss makes black more interesting than usual
but isnt this too 'winter-ish' for spring summer? ? ?

True, those vinyl pants must be very sweaty in summer.

Very sweaty, indeed. But I think some of the coats would work for spring...showers in particular.

I wore a pouff ball skirt in this texture(vinyl), I have been told that the material looks like I am wearing a plastic bag.......... what do u think? Agree or not? I sorta......

 

[MUXU]

funny
i just brought some gold/metalic shiny fabric..to make a simple sweaterdress out of

i dont know about the patent leather as coats/jackets though...it reminds me of the 90s in a not so awsome way
but for shoes and boots i think it looks great

i love those burberry ankle boots!

i'm afraid it will have a kind of plastic bag-ish 'edge'

together with 'the use of feathers' this is one of my less fave ss07 trends

Dominatrix meets hooker in a plastic bag. Not a big fan of this. This looks cheap on everyone. I mean if models like Carmen Kass and Gemma look a bit off wearing this then imagine someone like Paris Hilton wearing it. It is not going to translate into real life very well in my opinion. Though I admit I quite like some of the things on the runway, but yes.. I can't really imagine people wearing it.

 

[oanadobre]

On shoes, I like.
O clothes, I reaaallly hate. It's one of those looks that looks cheap no matter what it costs.

 

[lalablossoms]

hmmm i adore and own patent leather shoes, bags, belts, and i even have a shiny satin trench coat so i like... but it can be too much and look too dominatrix if styled really extreme, i like that it can look mod and goth at the same time, but i always try to make it look romantic too not so harsh or pop... i think it can work for spring, if you do black leave it to accessories and the clothes in white or cream can be really fresh

 

[Luxx]

In moderation its very very sexy. Overdone it does look very "fetish" and I don't mean that as a compliment.

I enjoy it when its paired with another more matte texture. Its adds a bit of a hardcore element to the clothes. I so can see people ODing on this though. And I agree that its so wrong for Spring/Summer. I wouldn't want to be out in the heat in that Jil Sander suit. Talk about uncomfy.
