How about Ants & Veins?


In the past seasons I have noticed that tights have been top accessory in the runways. Some of the designers have taken some risks but have passed for popularity and editor’s choice. The crazier the prints, the more attention they have earned. I think some of the outrageous ones are with ants & veins prints which have been identified for the brand of Les Queues De Sardines. By also adding color to your legs, these have become a substitute for scarves and hats. You think you can find tights with prints of tears, alphabet letters, clouds or rain drops? Now you can on Les Queues De Sardines. This is totally cool for the new spring season. Again, new year, new - me, we are being influenced by the bright colors and funky prints.

Lady Gaga’s Wide Shoulder Trend


I guess not only Michael Jackson has been trending with wide oversized shoulder pads during his "This is IT" concert rehersals but also Lady Gaga has brought this trend into life by incorporating shoulder pads into every possible outfit she wears. It makes sense for people who have passion for one of a kind look, something trendy and eye catching. Most of the designs have distinct style which remind me of the futuristic characters in the Star Wars movie. Bringing back the 80s and its oversized shoulder pads has created rush for these coming back fashions not only at the high end designer level but also some of the intermediatary designer stores. And Lady Gaga is known for her shocking & intrigueing influence to that trend with so called "wow" appereances.
