Spring 2017 Key Accessories Blend Future With Retro
/
Watches, sunglasses, hats and personal leather goods, fashion’s finishing touches, will make an important contribution next spring. Wearable technology, from fitness band bracelets to smart watches and cell phone covers will become key. Simultaneously, there will be a retro design element. Eyewear in particular borrows shapes from the past but re-interprets them scaled up in size and in new materials. Hats will go from ath/leisure sport to garden party pretty, and personal leather goods will have to be able to accommodate a myriad of mobile devices.
Strictly modern architectural lines in a grey and black watch aim into the future
