Leather

when i first started as a member of SD there where hardly any leather items in the plaza. a fact which really annoyed me back than becauce i've always been a sucker for leathery objects. not leather in general but the black rock chick leather. i'm a fan of post punk, garage punk and edgy rock n roll looks and in order to create those looks, leather (or pleather) is very important. don't get me wrong i'm not talking about biker gang leather pants or vests, its the elegant smooth leather items i'm fascinated by.

i would strongly recommend clicking on the label names, the websites are really nicely done and you can watch the latest fashion shows plus get some informations about the fashion houses.

so why am i jabbering about leather you may think. it's because i recently went for a shopping spree at starplaza, i missed the last two LE collections and i desperately needed new clothes for my doll, and found a suprisingly large amount of pleather and leather clothes. inspired by this pleasant suprise i thought why not make a new countdown post and show my readers some of my favourite 10 leathery objects from my medolls wardrobe.

 

cross leather skirt by saint laurent tribute (vintage)

why? the ruffles makes it a feminin piece and the zipper makes it sexy but not cheap, you can easily combine this with a white shirt and some black heels and  have a perfectly nice outfit. 

slim black pleather dress by msw shop (vintage)

why? i'm a fan of shape, and this dress has this really graphical shape but still looks smooth and not to edgy. 

 

hotbuys top 

why? its inspired by a piece chloe sevigny designed for openign ceremony and of course that's why i bought it but it also looks rad because of the pattern. 

 

pleather top by elle (vintage)

why? it has this really eccentric armer look and it fits really tight so you can underline your medolls figure. 

 

dress inspired by christopher kane by archive  (vintage)

why? christopher kane is really one of my most favourite designers, and this dress is another good example for his brilliant work, the combination of leather and lace has just a wonderful and special effect. 

 

floral pleather jacket by archive

why? also inspired by fall winter ready to wear 2010 fall collection, this jacket has a very romantic touch because of the floral patches. you can use it for espacially grunge inspired spring looks. 

 

pleather platforms by bonjour bizou + heavy weight black plattforms

why? i know those shoes have quite a reputation, as many other users i really adore my pair (which bought from the plaza not from the bazaar, lucky me). i always combine them with the black fallen angel plattforms to make them look a bit more edgy. 

 

midnight lurex pants by ppq

why? normaly i don't like leather pants but this one has a nice shiny fabric, it has a skinny cut but not to tight so you can use it for more casual looks. 

 

hot buys cheap monday bag 

why? its part of the first cheap monday wave which arrived at the plaza and i was very exited about it. i love cheap monday it's a wonderful brand. the bag goes with many different looks and this is exactly what a good bag is suppused to. 

 

hot buys vest by bonjour bizou (vintage)

why? this one of the oldest items in my medolls wardrobe i used it at least a 100 times.

so that was my leathery countdown i hope you guys enjoyed it. make sure to visit the plaza and buy some of those newest leather / pleather pieces. oh and the reason i haven't put those new things in the countdown is because i haven't had the time to create as many looks with those new things as i did with the  older garments i mentioned in the countdown. so maybe in a couple of months there will be a new countdown (haha). 

so long
