This Fall/Winter 2013, it seems like bright colored fur prints and bags will be all the latest fashion.  Versace showed off an electric-yellow zebra stripped coat perfect for catching anyone’s attention on a gloomy day. If you don’t feel like attracting too much attention with a zebra yellow coat, how about toning it down with an animal print bag like Fendi’s pictured above?  This would be a fabulous accessory to make any neutral outfit stand out.  If brightly colored animal prints are not your thing, than you can still be glam with studded shoes and bags . Studded bags have been around for quite a while, but now the fierce decorations are going to be seen more on shoes.  Jimmy Choo’s black pumps feature crystal studs giving the shoes some sparkle without completely going over the top.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for H&M

Trish Summerville alongside models from her Dragon Tattoo collection for H&M

Fresh off its sellout collaboration with Versace, H&M is showing its next high profile collab, this time with costume designer Trish Summerville. Haven’t heard of her? She’s the creative force behind the dark, sexy costumewear worn by Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The collection includes lots of separates – hoodies, ripped shirts, slim moto pants, boots, and leather jackets - and hits stores on December 14. Target better step up its collaboration game ASAP!

Directed by David Fincher, the Dragon Tattoo stars Daniel Craig and is based off the best selling trilogy of novels by Stieg Larsson. If the standard trailer is not enough for you, they’ve just released an eight minute extended cut on iTunes.
