Leggings. . . Love'em

Hi Jennifer: Recently in LA some of the biggest designers showed off their fall 2009 goods. On the runway was the ever present leggings. I happen to wear leggings a lot so I was glad to see them in various colors and patterns. This is really a trend that everyone loves and has been around longer then expected.

The other big influence for fall was black leather jackets with all kinds of embellished collars and detailing. It seemed as though every designer was adding a leather element to their collections. Long, short, cropped and even a gritty motorcycle jacket was showing well.

The show also seemed to have more of retail element as the fashions looked as though you could slip it off the model and wear it out the door. I really like that because some of those designers can really get crazy with their collections knowing that it would be impossible to wear.
