Since I’m the only “woman” in the CD of Arrowsmith Shoes who rides a motorcycle, I know that we have many women customers and I like to think that they are stylish and trendy – like me! I also like to think that these fashion gals follow the fashion shows like I do but if you don’t this spring you’re going to see a lot of motorcycle inspired trends for women.

All the big designers have some sort of presence with this trend and I love it. I love ride motorcycles so I’m especially interested when I see this sexy trend growing. Look at the jacket in this photo. I would buy this jacket right now if it was available and I could afford of course but I love it. I know I would look so hot wearing this jacket.

What I find interesting is that this trend is a men’s wear inspired trend started from the 50’s when Marlon Brando and James Dean made bad-boy names for themselves riding motorcycles in the movies. Fashion always seems to follow the movies because it’s kind of like free advertising and research. No plagiarism involved and it’s not that hard to do.

A trend can start when a movie is made and when you see people start to bringing the characters to life through fashion or somehow in their own way and interpretation, the designers will pick up on it and there it is. Can you name a few trends that started like this?

The Matrix comes to mind recently with the long trench coat. How about the leather bomber jacket that Tom Cruise made famous in Top Gun. What about Madonna! Can you name any big trends she started. What about Flash Dance and leggings. the list goes on and some trends last longer than others but they have to start somewhere.

Movies are one thing but what about musicians and hair! Posh made her hair (and breasts) famous. The Beatles, Rolling Stones and now Justin Bieber. (Yes, I know I just said Justin Bieber. Sorry.)

Take a look at the new biker inspired jacket that just came in from Sean John.

Signing off for now.
