Leather: the 2012 Fashion Craze

Leather is the new 2012 fashion craze. Seen in a variety of colors, from midnight black to citrus gold to red tangerine, this popular textile first hit the catwalk at Hermes, Brioni, Zac Posen, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Doo.Ri, Derek Lam and Yigal Azrouël (all featured below). It's debuting on some of my favorite celebrities such as Blake Lively and Emma Stone (just scroll down to see). It's sexy. It's sophisticated. It's feminine. I'm challenging you to grab it in a dress, a top, a trouser or a skirt. Leather is your new 2012 fashion endeavor!

Thankfully today's designers are being more gracious to us with their tasteful use of leather (the 2012 fashion craze) than the jackets seen in this hilarious Saturday Night Live skit featuring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken (you've got to watch this; it's one of my faves)...
