  • TREND ALERT: Pretty Punk

    As the punk trend grows ever more popular, its anarchic spirit is infused into accessories, onto shoes and all over leather separates. Not only was punk a key theme on the AW2013 runway shows with Chanel, Saint Laurent and Versace just a few of the designers embracing the trend, the style set also know how to rock punchy punk (we’re talking influential fashionista’s Rita Ora, Pink and Jessica Alba).

    Stand-out spiked necklaces and bracelets add edge and a quirky-cool dimension to every ensemble, plus punk is always appealing and contemporary.
