Libertine for Target hit the web yesterday, and with it came the realization that skulls are still here.
There were the original high fashion skeletons from Galliano and Lucien Pellat-Finet.
There were the McQueen scarves co-opted by Urban Outfitters and still worn everywhere (this weekend I reasoned I couldn’t throw mine away, so instead I used it as a beach blouse).
And then there came the inevitable Sunday Styles story, the Damien Hirst diamond sculpture, the plates from Thomas Paul, the Cheap Monday pop-up store, and everything from Insight.
But despite complaints, scoffs, and annoying bedazzled skulls worn on annoying bejeweled MTV stars, the trend still hasn’t gone - in fact, it’s still going.
The kicker: It’s the fad about death that’s refusing to die.

many Target stores had the line already stocked by Friday night. I took a look on Saturday and I'm sad to say the shiz looked CHEAP and all in all was a big fat yawn. There were a few cute pieces, but nothing to write home about. My fave will always be Luella!
