She's A Rebel F/W 07.08

[Inaya]

It's being done so well right now by many... really a good look, imo.

[seahorseinstripe]

i LOVE them!
i tend to dress with the same "feeling" like those, i want to look feminime but strong at the same time.

My mother told me I was too tough - that no man would ever want to marry me (as thought that's the only aspiration I might have ). And her argument was only about what I wear on the street. I like the tough chick look, the layering, the ease with which I can add some little shiny things... it's easy to create and maintain since I can mix and match practically anything. With black as my basic color, I use satins, silks, linen and lace underneath in really brilliant colors or complex patterns - color and texture peeking out here and there. I have tried the look out in a couple of business meetings and I think it works in business just as much as it works on the street. What I really like about the current trend is that there is NO attempt to dress women up as men, or reduce feminity, or the superthin crap. Yes, it is a strong statement look, but it is totally healthy female for me. I look forward to seeing what other designers do...

[dizzytacks]

this is very much so my style

By far one of the best trends I have seen in a while. I agree with so many of your comments, its rock chick, without forgoing feminity or succumbing to oversexualisation, which happens all too often in these edgier looks.

 

[loubylou]

Id be interested to see how Marc Jacobs would interpret this.....

 

[Fewormany]

I'd love it when more girls here would wear that. It is so much better and fresher then the sexy-cute look that is all over the place. But i doubt if it would catch on, but you can always dream .

 

[oceanharlot]

LOVE IT! Every single picture I'm having heart palpitations-

I like to call is Bounty Hunter Chic.
har har!

 

[Feline]

This is definately MY kind of style - looking forward to seeing it in the shops. The recent flowery, smocky, floaty look is just not my kind of thing at all.
Rock-chic for ever!

 

[The_Ida]

I have nothing but love for this.

 

[ParadEyes]

i love this !!!

 

[Manuva]

I also see some of this style in Rag & Bone F/W (The name is hard enough!

Perhaps subtler references, but I love Tanya's loose dress with the matte leather trousers.

beautifully stated!

 

[jazspin]

Ditto for me. I love this look - it's powerful without being masculine. I've noticed that the F/W looks have a cleaner feeling than similar styles from seasons past. Personally, I'd rather look like tough chick than anything else - truth in advertising .

 

[Fly or Die!]

ew, not liking really any of it besides the Burberry
