Biker fashion: men’s & women’s elements 2012-2013

Biker fashion: men’s & women’s elements

---

Motorcycle jacket

Can you imagine the military trend without a military jacket? Not possible. And so it goes without saying that the motorcycle jacket isthe key statement piece for the motorcycle / biker fashion trend. Naturally, not any motorcycle jacket will do. While we undoubtedly will see fast fashion stores give us motorcycle jackets in the now-subdued vein of the ‘Brando jacket’, the motorcycle jacket in 2011 needs to be much more of a statement piece.

And so it goes that it’s not merely about an overused cut and simple black colour. In fact, many a colour will suit. You can take the lead from Burberry’s colour offerings (above in a traditional Burberry colour, immediately below in silver, and further below in two-tone leather), or you can look to spring 2010?s colour trends, specifically those for leather, for inspiration.

Of course, just because the biker chic trend is about more than Brando jackets and black motorcycle jackets doesn’t mean to say that the trend is completely devoid of both styles. Take Balmain’s, pre-spring 2011 offering for instance: it’s a motorcycle jacket that is somewhat military-cum-Brando.

So with everything from boring blacks to statement silvers having been designed, what key elements should a fashioniser be looking for in a statement military jacket for 2011?The answer is two in particular.

Zipped sleeves

Leather pants

You may think of biker pants as anything skin tight and black. But again, that’s not necessarily so in 2011. Christopher Bailey’s leathermotorcycle pants for Burberry can grab attention just as well in neutral tones, with mesh side-panels and an exposed, feature zip. As with other elements of the bike chic trend it’s all about the detail, and last season’s plain leather leggings won’t quite cut it. Panels, quilting and padding, and zips all add to the tough yet ultra-slick and modern feel of the neo biker pant, while other thick, skin-hugging materials like neoprene can also work as an alternative to leather.

The skirted alternative

As it is with other elements of the biker chic trend, there’s also an alternative to biker pants. Drawing on the quilted motifs of their motorcycle jackets, Burberry have produced a neo-mod leather skirt with quilting detailing that not only sits perfectly with the bike fashion trend, but also acts as the perfect alternative statement piece to the motorcycle jacket.

Motorcycle boots

And last but not least, motorcycle boots round out the key elements of the biker fashion trend – hardly a surprise given no trend is complete without a tie-in shoe trend. Biker boots, having been in fashion for some time now, won’t be hard to come by. You could consider that a plus, but don’t rest on your laurels: mass marketing of biker boots means that a lot of very average styles are going to be seen on the streets already, so in order to get motorcycle boots right in 2011 look for a statement pair; something that exudes quality and style – a pair such as the Chanel biker boots.

Biker fashion: men’s elements

What precedes has largely looked at the motorcycle fashion trend for women, which is the norm given that modern trends generally start for women before being modified to suit men’s tastes. The motorcycle trend, however, emerges into men’s wardrobes at the same time this year, albeit it to a much smaller degree.

Spearheaded by a number of design houses, including Burberry, the main element of the men’s version of trend are statement jackets – unlike women’s where we’ve also seen a number of additional pieces. The colour palette is much muted as well: it’s all black, a fact that makes the trend rather cliche for men but not so cliche that the only motorcycle jackets on trend are Brando jackets.

Curvier and Thinner with Opticall Illusion from Your Dresses 2012-2013

For women, curvier waist is so proudable. In the past, undergarments did the bulk of the work, from whale-bone corsets to Real Housewives–designed faux Spanx; women’s waists have been nipped, tucked, and cinched underneath their clothes in every which way. But now, thanks to a slew of optical-illusion dresses hitting red carpets and runways, the dresses are drawing the curves.

At the Venice Film Festival in early September, Kate Winslet pulled off a seemingly antithetical miracle: Wearing a clever skintight shift dress fromStella McCartney’s fall 2011 collection, the Oscar-winning actress appeared to be curvier and thinner. The secret to Winslet’s dress was ingenious color blocking—black side panels gave her a high, tiny waist that, when added to the white panel around her bust, gave her an hourglass figure that’d turn Jessica Rabbit green with envy.

The 5 Most and Least Successful Models Turned Actresses 2012-2013

The 5 Most and Least Successful Models Turned Actresses

---

 

Angelina Jolie, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Cameron Diaz are just a few of the many models who have launched extremely successful film and television careers. But other models don’t make the transition from modeling to acting quite so smoothly.

1. Bijou Phillips

Actress Bijou Phillips, perhaps best known for her role in Hostel II, began modeling at the age of 13. She became the youngest model on record to appear on the cover of Italian Vogue before she quit the industry after four years. She’s now engaged to former That 70′s Show actor Danny Masterson.

2. Malin Akerman

When Malin Akerman was 17, she won Ford’s Supermodel of Canada search, signing with the storied agency and appearing in several television commercials. She later shot to fame with major roles in The Heartbreak Kid, 27 Dresses, and Watchmen. Akerman has modeling in her genes – her mother was a Swedish model.

3. Tyra Banks

Not everything Tyra Banks touches turns to gold. Banks started her acting career with a role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but it wasn’t until 1994′s Higher Learning that Banks made it onto the big screen. She’s not known for her dramatic skills – does anyone remember her turn in Disney’s Life-Size with Lindsay Lohan? Exactly.

4. Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich was just 12 years old when Richard Avedon photographed her for Interview magazine. The favorite of both Miuccia Prada and Gianni Versace jump-started a successful film career when she starred in the ultra-fashionable The Fifth Element in 1997, positioning Jovovich to become one of the most popular action film actresses in the businesses.

5. Iman

Model Iman remains one of the most successful models of all time, having played muse to Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Yves saint-Laurent. But her catwalk success did not parlay into a solid film career, as Iman’s most memorable film role is probably that of a shapeshifter in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
