Metallic threads and surfaces crop up as fashion seasons come and go. As with other design areas, technology is a helpful ally to this trend.

Sometimes the trend goes too far into the sci fi arena or the over-laden cosmopolitan but at times, it is artistic and worthy of a modern-day Cleopatra, as in the items above. Technology has enabled the easier creation of effects that are complex to achieve. Metallic threads in cloth and leather, when properly executed, are an other-wordly effect and will make you feel festive. Grab some stunning metallic fashion armor and storm the city and burbs.
