Spring Accessories Report: Plastics

by

Plastic isn’t generally considered a luxury textile. Right now, however, designers are enticing well-heeled shopper to spend thousands on accessories made from PVC, lucite, plexiglass, and other transparent plastics.

I don’t really see these as great investment pieces. Not only is the material less than luxurious, it’s not the most durable of trends. But if I had money to burn… these aren’t bad.

I think these are especially adorable, but I’d be very careful about how I wore them. Plastic heels inevitably remind me of strippers.

    I’m not a fan of the plastic trend either, but those Alexander McQueen heels are stunning
