Once controversial, this trend with rock’n’roll accents will be the fashion asset that will boost all looks this fall. And Jennifer Lopez and Kate Moss wouldn’t say otherwise!
This is probably the most unexpected trend of the season. Long sidelined for its falsely neglected appearance, surfing with the flashy, this aesthetic, popular with glam rock stars, is nevertheless making a big comeback on the fashion scene. The advantage: it can be worn as a centerpiece or a discreet accessory. Decryption.
A resurgence in the 2000s, this fashion movement goes against the grain of the “Quiet luxury” style, known for its tidy and sober appearance. Indeed, worn by the biggest stars of the time, including Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera, it has the merit of infusing the wearer with a grunge aura, giving the illusion of an effortlessly worked look. A symbol of an avant-garde and rebellious spirit, it allows you to twist any classic piece and then covers sometimes denim shorts, sometimes the suits of the stars on the red carpet.
And while they may seem difficult to wear on a daily basis, studs are a good way to add an offbeat rock edge to your outfit. Versatile, they can be worn on jeans, along the seams of pockets, as well as on tops, shoes and bags. It is in particular to the Alaïa brand that we owe the strong comeback of the studded movement. Indeed, the house unveiled flat ballet flats decorated with imposing silver studs, which actually looked more like rhinestones. The model was an immediate success, making its way into the wardrobes of trendy girls. Among them, we can mention the Swedish model Elsa Hosk, the singer Rita Ora and the Italian Mariacarla Boscono.
For her part, Stella McCartney unveiled models in minimalist dresses adorned with studs during her spring/summer 2024 show. Isabel Marant, for its part, offered silhouettes with bohemian inflections, boosted by fringed jackets covered in studs, for its fall/winter 2024-2025 collection.
Getting in tune with the trend, fashion personalities didn’t hesitate to bring it to the streets. The latest to endorse it? Lily-Rose Depp, who regularly appears on the streets of New York with a studded bag designed by the Spanish label Gimaguas. And you, are you ready to get in line?
