Future Fashions - TOUGH TRIBAL

Tough Tribal combines my two favourite looks!  The bright, colourful and interesting prints of tribal, mixed with the biker toughness of leather and studs. 

 
This jacket by BCBG Max Azria brings together the two looks perfectly.  Subtle embroidered detailing of tribal patterns and flat matte gold studs make for a classy leather jacket suitable for day or night. 
 
These boots from ASOS combine tribal, tough and femininty all in one.  The washed out tribal print at the back of the boot creates a tougher look, whilst the heel adds the height and lines of a feminine boot.  The smooth matte leather adds a touch of elegance.  
 

Future Fashions - GLAM GOTH


This look was seen on the catwalks of Yohji Yamamoto.  The dual tone lips are a more feminine and elegant slant on the black goth version.  If black seems too bold for you, a red colour (at least 4 shades darker) can be used. 




This Jasper Conran look is a subtle and classy take on goth eyeliner.  At the inner corner of the eye, instead of following the shape of the eye, continue the line straight, towards the nose.  This technique opens the eye up and creates the illusion of fuller eyes. 


 
This (by Anthony Vacarello) is the most dramatic of the three looks.  Although it is dark, bold and big, it is actually wearable as evening make-up.  The feathered edges of the eyeshadow create a softer look.  The blend of red and black is not to everyones taste, so silver can be substituted.
