Tactical and industrial, our Armor trend is a nod to
soldiers of ancient and modern day, of fictional knights, and post-apocalyptic
heroines. It is all about metal, leather, and new-age textiles made to be
strong yet flexible. The color story is bold and dark, spanning from the
deepest blacks to the creamiest oxblood red, with accents of sand and stone
grey. Metallic finishes run the gamut from aged industrial steel to high gloss
chrome.
Dresses and tops can be seen with metallic and crystal
detail mimicking chest plates, while boots are chunky and highly adorned with
sparkle and spikes. Harsh linear elements of leather and geometric cut-outs of
new age fabrics add drama to clothing and accessories. Jewelry is bold;
necklaces are layered with a mix of metal finishes, crystals, and pearls, and arm
cuffs mimic those of ancient Rome.
Interiors are industrial and metal, leather, and suede play
a big role. Furniture uses elements from the past that have been re-imagines
into a new piece. Gears of unfinished steel and accents of rusty skeleton keys
can be paired with refined matte gold and high gloss chrome accents. Textiles
are deep, rich leathers and woven suedes in dark neutrals.

The mix of metallic finishes carry over into the holiday
season. Dark gun metal blacks can be accented with clear crystals, and deep
pewters and antique bronzes look fresh when paired on the same Christmas tree.
