In the "Practicum" section, we give detailed instructions on how to beat this or that thing in order to look relevant without harming the wallet every week. In this issue, we talk about the little things that are available to everyone: laces, mitts and other things that will instantly make the image trendy.
Knitted sleeves
Make mitts a fashion accessory? It's easy when Raf Simons gets down to business. Everything that a fashion designer touches instantly becomes trendy. So it happened with knitted sleeves, without which we definitely will not live in the next season. They can be worn fashionably with T-shirts, floral dresses and, as Jonathan Saunders advises at Diane Von Furstenberg, with evening dresses.
Asymmetrical earrings
Let it be colored fur, as we are used to seeing on key chains, like in Acne, or earrings from different sets, like in the Christopher Esber lookbook.
Accessories for accessories
Your bag needs accessories too: long fringes, metal chains or large key rings. You can customize it yourself using the Diane von Furstenberg lookbook.
Fur collar
Fur works more powerful than it-bag and it-shoes, and turns even basic things into fashionable ones - this was proved to us by the lookbook of the autumn collection Ellery. Today in Europe and America, the industry is experiencing a fur free movement against natural fur, luxury brands unite in eco-associations and produce faux fur items. It only suits us: the accessory will cost several times cheaper, and it will be possible to wear it not only at minus twenty.
Plastic bracelets
We fell in love with bracelets from the Proenza Schouler show and do not want to wait for the start of their sales in September: therefore, we study 3d-modeling and print our own accessory on a 3d-printer.
Laces instead of a belt
The cult of the belt and girdle of dresses, jackets, coats and down jackets, which we saw last season, is on the decline. An ironic alternative is offered by Virgil Ebloh from Off / White: belting jeans and trousers with sneaker laces.
