Compared to the designer's past collections, the FW 2012 line is highly wearable and even street-savvy. The series is a curation of belts, shoulder pieces and necklaces. It holds a highly romantic, slightly feudalistic vibe. The leather is folded and worn into evocative conceptual structures, accented by dyes and studs of varying degree. Memorable pieces from the line include a full torso brace and a cylinder clutch. The torso piece is slightly reminiscent of steam punk culture, calling on futuristic and fantasy elements. The clutch boasts a large metallic hand piece, with several round pieces for functionality and bold decor. The line is romantic and rugged, perfect for the fashionista looking to make a super chic statement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ornate Accessories:** Designing and creating ornate accessories using leather or other similar materials is increasingly popular. - **Wearable Fashion Art:** Fashion designers are shifting towards creating more wearable art that can be worn on the street while still conveying a unique aesthetic. - **Futuristic Fashion:** The use of futuristic and fantasy elements in fashion design continues to grow. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** The demand for unique and ornate fashion accessories made from alternative materials like leather is on the rise. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers and artists are increasingly exploring and experimenting with wearable fashion art. - **Leather Goods Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of leather goods are tapping into the increased demand for unique, ornate leather accessories design and manufacturing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Artful Accessory Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-nash-designs.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Heritage Winter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter.md)
