Luxury Separates
BY RUTH BASHINSKY
Hold onto your cocktail, darling ... it’s all about '50s glam this holiday season.
Think sophisticated styles like the vintage tuxedo jacket, lace peplum,
leather leggings, bejeweled bags and statement rings.
And for footwear, the chunky-heel bootie in velvet and the return of the
'50s pointy low-stiletto heel.
“Last season we saw full-on, head-to-toe bling, this season is more
carefully edited with one item standing out,” says Mitchell Kass,
founder of Trend Council, a Long Island-based company that provides
trend analysis and design inspiration for designers and buyers. Holiday
2018 is all about luxury and separates that make a statement,
says Kass.
“Bohemian looks are not as popular this season," she says. "Sequin was so
overplayed last year that is out and the bodycon/bondage dress is out too.”
For readers who want to get a similar look, Kass offers some practical
advice before you shop: “Local boutiques and online retailers will carry
these items, but be aware that some online shops have a very long lead time
on delivery and sizing will be different for each online store.”
