Spiked Clothing: Next Big Thing In Avante-Garde?
Alicia Keys
Rihanna and Adam Lambert
With the revolving door of fashion constantly in swing, it’s no doubt that at any given moment, given the right co-sign (à la Jay-Z “all black everything”), something new is the next big thing. I have a critical eye for fashion and I can spot trends and patterns from a mile away, so I first noticed the approach to this new era of raw, uncut, “I was double-dog dared and paid off to do this” style of fashion about three years ago. But about three days ago, I noticed this more literal approach to “uncut”.
This spiked clothing trend (is it official? Can we call it that?) popped off most recently when Alicia Keys released her promo pic [above] for her new The Element Of Freedom album, with the knee of her jeans spiked. Okay, that’s cool. Go Alicia, you’re throwing some edge in your look. Then we kept it moving. Fast forward several weeks later, the AMA’s are on, and Adam Lambert is rocking the spiked detail on the shoulder of his suit jacket and on his gloves. Okay, I think we’re on to something.
Soon after, Rihanna‘s stylist, Mariel Haenn, took us there when she put the singer in a gold spiked dress with matching spiked Christian Louboutin booties for her Rated R album release party. Absolutely crazy, head turning red carpet look (wonder how many hugs she gave out that night). Once again upping the ante, she donned a risque red dress for her second look, keeping the spikes to a minimum, now only on her shoulders with a connecting chain.
I think there’s something in the water. Do you see the bold spike detail becoming a trend? Or is it a red carpet/stage look strictly reserved for superstars?
The damage I could do with some spiked kneed pants. I think this will fade because hospital bills will go up lol. Someone tells a knee slapper or brushes their shoulder it could be game over.
I hate it. Leave it to Judas Priest.
I love the look, would I wear it on the street? No. It’s not practical for everyday wear. Looks great on the stars and they, like Rihanna and Lady Gaga are always expected to take fashion to the next level. But if the average joe wants to try it out, I think it takes a certain kind of person with a certain sawg to wear things like this and not come off looking like a fool. It’s for a select few.
