Lego has conquered the runway as witnessed at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 fashion show. Worn by models as headband detail, belt buckles and as brooches, the Lego accessories may start a craze in the coming seasons.
Aside from Marc Jacobs, online entrepreneur Kasi Made caught onto the Legomania fashion trend several season ago. Made designs accessories all made out of Lego. The brand sells bracelets, earrings, barrettes and necklaces all made out of the Danish-made toys. They're such a hit that some items are already sold out.
The building blocks of a child's imagination, who would have thought that Legos can also build fashion accessories?
