Style Guide: Faux Leather
Once upon a time, long ago when the styles were few, far and in between - there was the great war between hard-edged biker girls and preppy sorority sisters. But as the leather trend has infiltrated the fashion mainstream, there's finally some middle ground. And thanks to this movement of uplifting women, the different kinds of style are besties now too - so that defs helped elevate the faux leather trend.
