The leather jacket



I’ve been dreaming, for the past year, of this amazing leather jacket. The perfect one that I could put atop of a simple white t-shirt or even over a classic dress ( à la Sienna Miller). Since, a couple of years, the leather jacket has become as essential in fashion as the little black dress.   What use to be a practical piece is now an important fashion statement fueled by pop culture and the evolution of trends.

We’ve known this outerwear design under the name of Perfecto.  First for plane pilots, then for bikers and finally immortalized as the ultimate bad boy style by Hollywood’s superstar: Marlon Brando (The Wild One). Then came the Rebellion years and soon the Punk era of the 1970s erupted with its patch-covered leather jackets.

Today’s leather jacket features a slimmer, more tailored silhouette in line  and we could see on the Spring 13 runways the fabulous new and improved version of it by Balmain, Saint-Laurent, Phillip Lim and McQueen.
If you were to invest in one pricey outwear piece I would strongly recommend a classic and well fitted leather jacket.
 
Now tell me how you would you like to wear your jacket?

  2. Leather jackets give a royal touch. I really want to take the jacket with good affordable one. If you want to take the creative & handmade design of Italian Shirts then have touch on it.
