Fall Winter Trend 2012/13: Dark of the Night

Posted on December 06, 2012 by Harlequin&Lionhead


Another big trend we noticed during the fall winter 2012/13 shows was that there was a whole lot of black. The color black, classic, and always in fashion has definitely made its mark in several designer’s collections for the season. Givenchy’s show had a skin-tight black leather turtleneck dress that would mesh quite well with the likes of Cat Woman. Gucci kept it sexy and sophisticated by bringing on blouses in black sheer fabric with velvet sewn on embellishments. The overall mood for this dark trend is very sleek, cat-like, mysterious, and with just enough mystery involved.

Lucky for us, this dark trend fits the Harlequin&Lionhead’s Whirls collection spot on. Accessories are half of the fun when it comes to dressing trendy, besides, with accessories you can really express your own fashion sense and style. Accessories are best used to add that little extra ‘something’ to your look, and most importantly, your own flare and voice. A great piece from Harlequin&Lionhead’s Whirls Collection is the Whirls #7 Pendant (shown below). This pendant is the 7th design from the Whirls collection and features a beautifully set octagon metal centerpiece amidst a feather nest. This is definitely the ideal statement piece, and the high polished octagon stone looks wicked in oxidized metal, as well as the satin brass version.


 Another lovely piece that fits so well into this dark moody trend are the Whirls #3 Earrings. These stud earrings are inspired by chrysanthemum flowers, which give a very wicked feeling on their own. The earrings come in gold plated or white gold plated, your choice.



For more information on both of these lovely pieces, please visit Harlequin&Lionhead.

On Trend: Femininely Gothic Fall/Winter 2012/13

Posted on November 08, 2012 by Harlequin&Lionhead

With the chilly months moving in on us we look to warm up with thicker clothing, like knits and heavy coats. Staying up to date with trends is ideal for any fashionable gal, and this fall winter 12/13, it is all about the gothic vibe. Gothic inspired many collections and has become a key trend this season. Leather, velvet, and lace are the fabrics most used to convey this darker mood, and are definitely on trend. When going for the gothic trends opt for long silhouettes, and of course, the color black. Remember Roccobarocco’s collection that featured a stunning fitted knee length dress with a white collar and cross? (see above) This look is the perfect example of femininely gothic. The dress had a body conscious fit, yet still classic and sophisticated with the stark white collar, cinched belt, tights, and heels.


Harlequin&Lionhead features many pieces that will fit well into this gothic trend. While you don’t want to go overboard with accessories, for fear of looking like a vampire, keep things simple, and bold. The piece that I would like to mention is the gold plated Rose Bouquet Ring from Harlequin&Lionhead. This ring works amazingly for the gothic trend because roses are a classic symbol of the gothic era and this ring brings that beauty, in a colder way. The beautiful cocktail ring infuses a romantic feeling with old world charm, and works perfectly with the darker clothing this season. The ring comes in oxidized sterling silver, as well as pink silver, which has a lovely hue close to the more popular rose gold color. The ring is bold enough to make a statement and compliment the gothic trend well, while still being delicate and feminine enough to keep the romantic edge.
