The leather blazer
As mentioned, a leather blazer is anything but new. Its history is a journey through time that merges elegance with rebellion. Emerging in the early 20th century, blazers were initially associated with formal attire. However, it was the 1960s that witnessed a transformative shift, as the blazer shed its rigid conventions and embraced a more daring persona. The infusion of leather into this classic garment added a rebellious edge, popularized by icons like The Beatles and rock ‘n’ roll stars. This fusion of sophistication and edginess continued to evolve through subsequent decades, with the leather blazer becoming a symbol of counter-culture movements and artistic expression. Looking at this week’s looks, the magnitude of Miu Miu’s influence on street style becomes clear again. Last season, Miu Miu introduced something best described as the “revival of the nerd,” with models walking the runway with undone hair, old-school glasses, colored tights, classic handbags, and – there she is – leather blazers. Besides combining elements of whimsy and high-end design, the collection showcased an exquisite blend of textures, patterns, and silhouettes that brought a fresh perspective to modern fashion. Not much later, Bella Hadid appeared wearing corresponding nerd glasses, and a trend was born.
