this is one of my fave new trends. especially when worn with dull unlikely fabrics like cotton or kakhi

man those lagerfield gallery gowns worn by liya and dewi are rather unflattering. I cant imagine how the everyday woman would look in it especially a very thin woman or one with abit of a tummy

Interesting and quite a nice change from the sequin trend that has been done to death in almost every store here.

I love the coppery shades....quite beautiful. My most recent purchase was a black top made from this beautiful worn-in looking fabric that's cotton and metal. In certain light, it gives it this amazing but very subtle sheen.

Thanks for the pics everyone.

Agreed. I prefer the more matte metallics over the shiny in-your-face colors, but when you pair a metallic with say, a simple pair of slacks like Proenza Schouler did in the S/S 05 pics posted on page two, the metallic is much less overpowering, more sexy than tacky.
