Trend Report: Modern Metal Chokers

A Tribe Called Quest

For every moment it took me to think I wasn't in love with the current tribal trend equaled an additional thirty minutes of finding pieces that absolutely moved me. The more I thought about it the more it made sense. Tribal inspired pieces are everything I am, or at least everything I strived to be. Strong, bold, powerful, and full of intent. More important than that, these items symbolized a journey, told a story, and represented a people. Struggles, triumphant and unity displayed through art. Lets have a look at a few of my favorites;

1. Rich and Rebellious "Rio de Oro" Tribal Necklace
2. Nicole Romano at Marissa Collections
3. Banana Republic The Tribal Chainsis
4.Surevolution Gujarat Cuff
5. ASOS Wide Patterned Textured Cuff
6. Lanvin Necklace

Chanel Tattoos....I am soooo with it

This isnt the first time that we've seen tat's on the runway, Jean Paul Gaultier, Catherine Maladrino and Rodarte all showed up inked, but never quite like this. Chanel's take on tattoo's are everything you would expect from the brand. Body transfers in floral designs, beads and bangles, gave it a soft yet edgy feel. Available in March at boutiques and concessions, these are the new IT accessory of 2010
