Bracelets Trends

Just off the phone with a buyer for a MAJOR fashion-store chain. She says the trend for bracelets is big, brassy, and bold. Reminds me of the old fashion-industry motto:

“Brassy is classy, gold is bold, copper is crappier, tin is in.” (This was back when everyone wanted bracelets made out of tin because of the Tin Man character in “Wizard of Oz.”)

Can’t wait to see what Christine Dior’s new line of bracelets looks like! Also, I heard Malcolm Gladwell is designing a line of bracelets for Lord & Taylor called “Blink Bracelets, the bracelets so shiny they make you blink.” Can anyone confirm that rumor?

Also, another rumor I heard is that Swamp Thing (yes, the actual monster who lives in the swamp) is designing a set of rings for Barney’s called “Swamp-Thing Rings.” This could be a major power play by Barney’s. Who knows? Maybe people will pay for slimy rings that smell like a swamp. (LOL, like any ring Paris Hilton wears while masturbating.) LOL, can you believe I just typed that?

“Living on the edge of taste, where darkness meets desire.”
