Givenchy & Derek Lam sure do know how to add a hint of leather here & there, giving an EDGY yet classy look. It could be 1 leather glove to a belt, or a leather shoe to a leather jacket. Both designers Fall 2009 RTW looks, each with their own vision, emphasizes that a women can remain very femine yet also elegant & fierce all in their own way! I love using such looks & finding new inspirations from them.
Leather has also been used in many recent photo shoots (Elle, Vogue, W, WWD) & I will definetly use my own vision in my next shoot! Its all in how you rock it!!!

The funny thing about this pair of leather shorts is, I found an exact pair in my mothers closet. She wore them in the 80's & I wore them last month. Just a reminder to take care of your garments because in many cases fashion is a cycle.
