One of the trends I noticed on the Spring 2012 runways, especially in Milan, is what I will officially dub "Punk-Deco." Art Deco era silhouettes and architectural-inspired graphic designs were everywhere this season, and designers freshened them up with a slightly punk-rock edge. Pull your hair back into a tight bun, smudge on some dramatic, smokey eye make-up, mix and match your choice of the pieces below-- and you just might be mistaken for a model at Gucci, Etro, or Roberto Cavalli!

It's not very often that people describe my style as edgy, but when I'm feeling like having one of those days, these looks are right up my alley! Will the Punk-Deco look inspire your wardrobe anytime soon?
