Those spiked shoes in the first picture are fierce. I've been coveting a spiked headband myself - I saw Mischa Barton wearing one not too long ago nd fell in love. Gorgeous post, as always! :)

M said...

Spikes are intriguing... on other people! This is one of those styles that I'll be perfectly content admiring, and not trying myself.

OmNomNom said...

Unknown said...

Great title :D Wondering about those spiked thigh highs....what happens if I cross my legs? Ouch!

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Oooh those spiky necklaces are SO cool!

(you rule. thank you for the comment!!!)

i like your editorial, it's a very clear story that lets readers see for themselves.

spikes, armour, serious fashion for everyday wear; it makes me so hopeful....

fashion seems to be seeing how far it can go. the rules are off so the spectrum of creativity is through the roof.

for me the new aggressive fashion for women seems to be saying, "i dress for me, not you. this is My armour, my defense for the world. i'm not your pretty doll anymore- you can be polite and tell me i look good, just don't touch."

thank you for your work.

Belle de Ville said...

I enjoy a little edge myself! :)

Good finds - thanks

MizzJ said...

This trend scares me, it's so dangerous!

Averill said...

I love a little bit of an edge to an outfit and spiked accessories would be such a wonderful way to incorporate that into an otherwise more conservative look.

Everything is so violent these days!

The Anthology said...

Stunning. But you know what's so sad? I'd probably hurt myself wearing something so spiky.

hot, but ouch! hehe

Christen said...

I love how glamorous and rebellious spikes can be all at the same time!

Sam said...

Hey! I've been noticing a few spikes and studs lately - it's a pretty cool look - perhaps not for me but it looks terrific here. Love that top shot in the bath!!

Hello~ This is my first time visiting your website. And I really love the pictures and your description. Make me understand the runway collection better.

But I really have trouble understand which pic is from which collection. Have you ever planned to change the format of your post? At least put in captions or even put in a, b, c to refer each pic to your respective descriptions.
Btw, I'm using the safari browser so I'm not sure whether your website displays the same for mine to the usual internet explorer browser.

Hope I didnt offend you. ^-^

i've always loved those louboutin ones....

Ashley said...

Oooo look at the shoes in that first picture! I die! And I'm still so sad about the Christian Siriano shoes that could have been, they were so hot!

I love spikes in fashion, gives the runway a rocker edge! Couture Carrie! I need your help! I love how you along with other fab bloggers format the pics side-by-side, i don't know how though, that's why pics in my blog are always cascading down, it would really conserve space on my blog to learn how! Thank you, I'd appreciate your help!

If you ask me, the Highline has pumped a little too much life into the area. It's just jam packed!

This post makes me want to listen to the RAMONES.

Keith said...

Very awesome. Some really killer photos. Cool stuff here. Hope you've had a great weekend. Cheers!

Life's short. Type fast. said...

These outfits are so cool! I just bought a tuxedo shirt, and can't wait to wear it out somewhere! Also, I love all the jewelry! SO cute.

Jaime @ laviejaime said...

Spikes aren't really for me...but I like those earrings you chose!

Anonymous said...

Well this is for me ! I love the pustpunk, or punk chic, but not only as a 'trend', also as an ideology, punk was one of the most utopic and touching ways of life of its time... Patti Smith, Debbie Harry, the londonian scene, Sprouse... how many great artists behind that ?

Jessica said...

That barbed wire ring is fantastic!

Swetha said...

hot heels.. blue heels are hot!! and the ear rings are devilish :)
Gr8 post dear!

Intrinsically Florrie said...

Ahh I remember that British Bazaar, December 2008 article. Very sexy shoes indeed!

missDTM said...

these pieces are calling my name!!! i love the ones you picked out.

Noble Beeyotch said...

Such fierce accessories....must try my hands at spikes now!

Peter Breese said...

Wild. You know I used to be a bit of a punk rocker in high school and I never would have imagined this sort of style would ultimately grace runways... I have a feeling some of the punk bands are shaking their heads ;). Of course I'm quite sure the styles have changed since I was a punker.

Love those fingerless gloves! I wanted to buy a belt yesterday with spikes but they didn't have a small size. Happy Monday, CC!

xo, becs

LadyLUX said...

Love the spikes! Some of the pieces look a little painful, but overall a beautiful post.
