By far the greatest Gatsby

1920s chic gets a slick, modern makeover at the Great Gatsby kick off event in Tokyo. I love the unexpected combination of flapper style with prints and textures reminiscent of 1980s glam rock bands. Top that off with sparkling retro head jewels = L. O. V. E.

Head Games

Hair jewelry! I insist this runway trend be here to stay and I take personal responsibility to rock it in a wearable way.  These gems are a staple in the definition of how to be postmodern royalty-- every queen  or princess needs a crown after all.  I love the east meets west vibe too, because fashion 2013 is all about a global sense of style.

The keys to unlocking the way to make this look work are dark, black eyeliner and even more attitude.  For inspiration think Nicole Richie, Aishwarya Rai, Marie Antoinette and 20s flappers.....
