Today's hottest trends focused on clever design and stunningly offbeat artistic works.
Perhaps one of the most striking jewelry designs we've ever covered, the skeleton hand bracelet garnered a huge amount of attention. It's a clever twist on the ring bracelet, and would undoubtedly get people to take notice. Bound to be worn well past Halloween, it's clear that slightly eerie accessories are appreciated by many. Elsewhere in the fashion world, United Colors of Benneton released a Spring Lookbook with its classic bold colors and a slightly streetwear inspired vibe.
On the art front, artist Joongwon Jeong impressed readers with his incredibly realistic paintings of people. Though they could easily pass as photos, yet his work is hand-painted.
