Spring 2013 Bomber Jacket Trend
There is one trend that will push through for Spring Summer 2013 and that’s leather bombers for women. The style is simple, (or not according to Loewe head designer) but the types of leathers used may inspire and push your boundaries of what is okay for day to day and what is just not going to get your vote. An exotic infused leather bomber by Proenza Schouler is a screaming testament to the front running fashion house that boldly goes where no one dares to trespass. At least, not so far for Spring 2013.
The collections have spomen and if there is one thing that you decide to splurge on this season let it be a leather bomber jacket. You can buy calf skin, snakeskin, or crocodile, but whatever you decide make sure the jacket is cut away from the body and the shoulders appear nearly “boyfriend” sizing. In other words, you want the piece to fit relatively away from the body and appear looser than you may be accustomed to.
All this being said there were several lines that used non-animal related options for their bombers including Erdem, Chanel, Stella McCartney, and Yohji Yamamoto. Herbivore, or meat eater, the object is to get a bomber jacket that looks great with a slinky skirt and heels. The Chanel bombers (which were sporty and fun and NOT made from hyde) would be a perfect addition to a vegan’s closet or any fashion conscious individual. Well… they may be a little too fashion conscious for most individuals because of their voluminous silhouette and enhanced shoulder definition. But remember what explodes the shoulders shrinks the waist leaving an enhanced hourglass shape.
This is the new little black dress, it is wise and suggested that you invest in a bomber jacket for Spring 2013, when the warm weather starts approaching. Until then be sure to follow my fall 2012 advice and dress accordingly.Nova Leather showcased outfits of leather featuring skirt, top, shirts, moncler down coats and others.
"On dress down Fridays at my office, a lot of us wear lederhosen," he told me. "I like wearing them with a T-shirt. It is comfy and I do not think it is political any more."
It is still not everyone's cup of tea. Another friend told me vehemently he would not be seen dead in lederhosen - or even a loden jacket. "It is what far-right politicians wear - never!" he said. But then he relented slightly. "Perhaps I might, if I was invited to a wedding."
And weddings in traditional costume are now very popular. At the shop belonging to Austria's Grand Dame of Tracht, Gexi Tostman, there are albums full of personal photos of grooms in brilliant waistcoats and knee breeches and brides in silken dirndls.
Mrs Tostman thinks that the change in attitude towards Tracht owes a lot to a remark by the British designer Vivienne Westwood on a visit to Austria in 2001.
"Vivienne Westwood said, 'I do not understand you Austrians. If every woman wore a dirndl, there would not be any more ugliness'." The quote caught on, Mrs Tostmann told me, and slowly young people started to reclaim their heritage.
"Can anyone wear a dirndl?" I asked her. "Or do you have to come from Austria?"
"You cannot wear the Tracht from the Bregenzer Forest region," she told me. "Traditionally, that is just for them - but otherwise yes, anyone can wear it. It is a gesture of respect towards Austria.Their presentation revolved around fancy shirts with jeans, skirts, moncler jackets men and others."
And here I have to make a confession. Despite having lived in Austria for more than a decade,Palazzos, a multi-layer skirt and a canada goose parka jacket for men. I had never been tempted to wear a dirndl. But that, I decided, was about to change. And so I asked to try one on.
A smiling saleswoman ushered me over to the changing area and handed me a dirndl.With raw silk saris worn under cropped canada goose jackets and thin belts. It had a dark blue bodice with tiny white polka dots, a black skirt and a pink and white striped apron.
