Leather Is Back

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jackets For Women & Men

— September 2, 2007 — Fashion
After spending nearly a decade in the back of your closet, it's time to swing that leather jacket back around your shoulders. No longer just for bikers, the look is hot again!

Leather jackets are timeless investments, and they instantly add that Euro appeal everyone is crazy after. The hooded leather jackets seen on Rachel Bilson, Paris Hilton and Cameron Diaz in the main picture are beautiful pieces, and each celeb made the look work for their particular outfit.

"Over the coming weeks, the creak and the whiff of leather will be filling the high street again," the UK's Guardian wrote.

The look is so flexible, and pairs with just about anything.

Ashely Olsen has been seen sporting a gorgeous black leather jacket with different outfits, taking the look from casual to chic and back again. Angelina Jolie cranked it up a notch when she stunned fans in a black leather dress at the Mr. and Mrs. Smith premiere. Eva Herzigova seduced her runway audience in a sexy black leather tube dress.

"As well as being the material of choice when it comes to our favourite accessories - shoes and handbags - it's a classic choice for jackets and coats. And, although you might not wear them all the time, a pair of leather trousers or a skirt can make a sophisticated addition to a wardrobe," said Sky Showbiz.

Trend Themes
1. Timeless Leather Jackets - The resurgence of leather jackets as a fashion staple presents opportunities for designers and retailers to create innovative designs and styles for both women and men.
2. Versatile Leather Accessories - The popularity of leather accessories such as shoes, handbags, and skirts opens up possibilities for brands to introduce disruptive innovation through unique designs and functional features.
3. Leather as a Wardrobe Staple - The enduring appeal of leather as a stylish and sophisticated choice for clothing items like trousers and skirts affords opportunities for fashion brands to reimagine classic leather pieces with modern twists and sustainable materials.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can capitalize on the resurgence of leather jackets and accessories to create innovative and trend-setting designs for consumers seeking style and functionality.
2. Retail - Retailers have an opportunity to curate and market a wide range of leather jackets, accessories, and clothing items, showcasing the versatility and timeless appeal of leather to attract diverse customer segments.
3. Sustainable Fashion - The leather industry can explore disruptive innovations in sustainable materials and production processes to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly fashion choices, offering consumers ethically-made leather products.
