DEIRDRE CARROLL / SENIOR EDITOR

WHO: Disenfranchised youth, Sid Vicious, motor-cycle enthusiasts, good girls gone bad, DIY aficiona-dos and Ke$ha’s head, as well as Valentino’s Spring 2012 presentations for women and men, Versace’s Spring 2012 gold renditions, Libertine’s Fall 2012 ready-to-wear show, the rocker-chic aesthetics of Ro-berto Cavalli and Ann Demeulemeester, and current fashion darling Isabel Marant, whose studded jean jackets for Fall 2012 will no doubt be the must have item of the season. Not to mention significant ap-pearances on All Saints Spitalfields’ leathers, Chris-tian Louboutin shoes and Alexander Wang bags.

WHAT: Studs; the metal kind, not the male kind, are no longer solely the purview of punk rockers. The stud has gone mainstream and eyewear design-ers are using the metal embellishment in all manner

of ways, from large and matte to sharp and shiny, to add a bit of rough and tumble trim to ophthalmic and sun styles for spring.

The things he has done with Burberry Prorsum have

elevated the brand from staid British label to fashion power house.
