Metrofashion Fall 2000 - Leather
You can't really discuss the mod trend without considering the next Fall 2000 fashion trend, leather. Leather everywhere! Leather in jackets, pants, bags, and as trim for bandeaus, furs, and tanks. And not just cowhide or lambskin; there's snakeskin carried over from summer, and even crocodile. It seems that 2001 will see the emergence of leather as a basic wardrobe component, a trend that started in the Northwestern U.S. cities and is spreading.

Here we see Bottega Veneta Fall 2000, a two-peice color-coordinated leather city look that includes checker pants and a halter top in the Fall 2000 royal camel colors. Dressed up with wooden bracelet charms and the look is silky chic. The halter has the appearance of single-cut pattern; one of the recurring themes in Fall 2000 leather is the luxurious use of large garment cuts. Another is the racy hoop collar that makes the outfit appear to be hanging from the model's head like a mannequin. While alive with color and movement, the peice is crisp and clean in line with classic fashion rules.

London and Italian designers present a wealth of leather choices this season, including Prada, Victor Alfaro, and Shelley Fox. The Fox collection includes cropped short copper and rust jackets that go splashy casual or sophisticated dress. There are few buttons, with emphasis on large sections of polished hide. They wrap and zip and even hang for schoolgirl look, while the message is always "leather looks and wears well."

The Fall 2000 Helmut Lang collection includes a powerful series of leather pieces with jackets, pants, and vests that have a futuristic yet refined. (more Helmut Lang coming soon!) In addition, look for leather designs in Fall 2000 colors of burgundy, brown, and black from John Bartlett, Hermes, Calvin Klein, and Cerruti (with fur borders).
