LITTER SF - Shoe Jewelry
As you may or may not know: shoe jewelry is trending. Not those little jibbitz you shove in your Crocs. Not sparkly shoelaces. More like chains, fringes, spikes, and studs.
LITTER SF makes/sells shoe jewelry. Beautiful, beautiful shoe jewelry.
Of course, there are probably others who make shoe jewelry as well, but I stopped searching as soon as I found LITTER.
Peep my favorites after the jump. & go to their site here: http://www.littersf.com/ AND BUY ALL OF THEM.
Please Don't Shave the Models.
Patrick Mohr's SS'11 collection (German FashionWeek) was worn by models in skullcaps with glued on fuzzy facial hair. Critics in Berlin have been comparing it to Yoda, hipsters, and even Brad Pitt.
The skullcaps were made to cover the ears, and some topless models even had clay covering they're nipples and navels.
Mohr says his clothing is unisex and based on his idea of gender mainstreaming... And he has been known to have an odd selection of model picks in the past: homeless people and transvestite body builders.
His collection is one of the most talked about from German Fashion Week. I have a feeling that it's not the clothing, however decent, though.
Peep more photos from the show after the jump.
I Want: Creepers
Up until I graduated highschool I frequented a local punk venue known as Southmore House. It's now gone, of course, but the kids still live on. Punk's not dead. Well maybe for the most part it is, yes, but there's still bits and pieces that will last forever. Like creepers!
These badboys have been popping up a lot over the past year, and I'm not surprised. Goth / Dark/ Bad Girl clothing has been trending for a long time now... these were bound to turn fashion heads sooner or later.
Emma Bell featured T.U.K. creepers in her SS'10 collection. (Styled by Alexis Knox)
Ziad Ghanem's collab with Firetrap "Maiden Britain" also had creepers in their show.
Nathan Jenden even had a look on his runway featuring a hot pink pair.
I want a pair so I can rock them, too.

Te Amo, Teamo!
Mexican designers, Teamo, are on point when it comes to trends this fall. Triangle and squares on your shoulders have never looked so not-ridiculous. Right? I would totally put these on my body. These aren't just poofy f21/UO "strong" shoulder looks. These are STRONG shoulder looks. And Fall 2010 couldn't be more ready for them.
GOD, I am so in love with the little square one. I want I want I want.
I tried to find a website for Teamo, but came up short. However, Style Bubble did an excellent post on the duo designers. Check it here: http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2009/01/team-teamo.html
Trend: Insane Hats
Overkill, perhaps. Yet, if pulled off correctly these large and in charge head toppers could be just what Fall '10 needs.
Above hat is TOPSHOP. I cannot wait to get it!
Check out some from the F/W10 runways -- these are better than grandma's church hats.
