I'm With The Band
The recently re-launched Hervé Léger label still manages to ooze early 90s sex appeal thanks to fresh interpretations of the designer's signature bandage effect on everything from mini skirts and tops to evening dresses. But the bandage theme doesn't end there. For fall, designers like Proenza Schouler and newcomer Christopher Kane got into the trend and gave the banded effect its due on their runways, proving that this is definitely a fashion trend on the rise. At home, a similar look is taking shape with hot decor items like Cappellini's ribbon stools. Bandage dress by Hervé Léger, $1,485, at Intermix stores. Ribbon stools by Cappellini, at Luminaire, Coral Gables

Needle Points
In the 60s haute hippies sported crochet and macromé on everything from sweaters to purses. These days, the dainty textures are still fashionable fixtures.
For proof, look no further than Dior's fur, macromé, satin and suede ankle bootie in delicate silver, and Moooi's white coffee table - both of which pay homage to the Age of Aquarius with subtlety and edge. Boots, $1,090, at Christian Dior boutiques. Crochet table, $1,297, at Moooi, Miami

Polished To Perfection

Patent leather Downtown bag with croc stitching, $1,895, at Yves Saint Laurent, Bal Harbour. Patent leather benches by Mariana Antinori, $2,400, at Saks Fifth Avenue stores
