Studs are the new sparkles according to designer Norma Kamali. Add some pizazz to your attire with studs this season!
Norma Kamali designed a whole collection dedicated to her love for all things studded and the gallery above proves that studs can in fact be quite stunning! Have a look and see the fashion forward truth for yourself.
Implications - The recession and concurrent revival of punk fashion created a perfect storm for angst-ridden fashion. Studs, spikes, chains, exposed zippers, combat boots and safety pins are all elements we've seen in fashion before, but they were resuscitated during this period to add an edge to everyday consumers' outfits. Instead of head-to-toe punk outfits, as we saw in the 80s and 90s, this era's angst fashion focuses on separates.
