Even though we don’t think that this trend will emerge until Fall 08, we are constantly seeing this leather leggings or faux leather leggings trend on the runways and media. See Scarlett Johansson on the cover of Nylon Magazine below. You can also look at our previous Trend Watch posts to see other pictures.
Remember our post in March highlighting Balmain’s Fall 08 looks? Well, plenty of celebrities are latching onto his stylish creations - such as this dress worn by Christina Ricci on May 6th as she continued her press tour for Speed Racer, landing at the film’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere in a frilly keyhole dress and Manolo Blahniks.
How can you forget this dress from Balmain’s runway, worn by Kate Hudson on April 14th as she bared her legs follwing the U.K. premiere of her latest film Fool’s Gold.
The actress complemented the dress’s splash of shimmer with metallic peep-toe pumps.
Fashion is turning in the direction of his kind of dark, romantic, faintly goth aesthetic…
Note the skinny leather pants and ankle / gladiator boots - these trends are emerging.
Dark , mysterous - the tone is set for Fall 08.

Here’s Katie Holmes at the 2008 Critics’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica. The actress needed little other than peep-toe Louboutins to complement this gorgeous dress. We’re seeing the one-shoulder look come around full force this season.
The one-shoulder look on dresses is definitely a trend happening right now. You can catch every designer label making a version of the one-shoulder look. I think it is rather elegant to see on women. A beautiful way to show off the decolletage.
See these looks from the Balmain Fall 2008 Show - gorgeous.
Love, love, loved Alexander McQueen’s show for Fall. It was creative and beautiful. The peacock details throughout his line were imaginative and I am definitely seeing that detail becoming a small trend in print.
