One of the biggest trends on the streets right now is monograms. They are popping up all over again. Once identified only with luggage tags or custom tailored shirts, fashionistas now have embraced it with all their mind, body and soul. Monogramming has gone mainstream. Each person has their own unique fashion sense and style.
James Ferragamo, Director of Women’s Leather Products, said, “I think that exclusivity is very important in fashion. Today fashion is much more about doing something that is only for you rather than something that is for the masses.”
We saw designers like Burberry showing monograms on their runways. One of the ‘it’ items this winter was Burberry’s patchwork poncho which Cara Delevingne wore to the runway with her monogrammed initials.
What’s old is always new again. You likely know that Louis Vuitton has for quite a while championed the personal monogram. Its Mon Monogram service, for instance, allows you to customize your speedy, neverfull keepall bags, etc. Hand-painted, multicolour initials and stripes on a selection of Louis Vuitton’s most popular monogram handbags, small leather goods and luggage.
For a very long time Christian Louboutin has taken the hearts of many for their oh-so-amazing footwear customization with the red sole. Prada offered its London customers the chance to customize their own shoes from its Made-To-Order Décolleté collection, last march.
Another hot accessory seen on the red carpet was the Edie Parker clutch. One has the option of monogramming their clutch with a single letter, initials or nickname.
The personalized jewellery trend is certainly here to stay with different categories being created daily designed to accentuate their personal style through pieces of unique jewellery. Even people walking, or running, to their destinations are proudly promoting their own “me-centric” jewellery with custom designs and individualized accessories.
Tiffany and Co. is known for its monogrammed and engraved initials jewellery. They have always valued their customers and design according to their needs.
The fun with this trend is just beginning and the only boundaries are your individual creativity.
