One of the hottest fashion trends forecast for the fall and winter is Rock Chic. In other words, the rest of the world has finally caught on that rockers have a super sweet aesthetic of their own, and the fashionistas of the world want to capitalize by faking a hard, studs-and-spikes, devil-may-care, punk edge that is legitimately owned by those who really understand and enjoy the bands and fans who live the rock-and-roll, heavy metal lyrics that inspired this "trend." (OK, enough editorializing. I suppose it is nice that all of the true "metalheads" are finally getting to call everyone else "posers.")
Anyway, we decided to create a "Precious Metals" window display (to exploit the trend, I admit!) that focused on both metallic accents (also a hot trend) and a rock-and-roll theme. We paired silver stilettos with metal-band Tees, and wrapped it all up with some music-themed decor to create this fun display.
Most of the clothing items in this display were straight off the rack. You'll notice the reemergence of Maureen's silver "Tin Woodswoman" skirt. Also, Kris made the bright orange/pink necklace worn by the 80s chick in the left window. But the crowning achievement of this display is Maureen's handmade knit punk mohawk hat.
