FIT TO PRINT
We're beginning to sense a pattern...
When Givenchy sent a black silk bomber jacket embroidered with orchids down the runway last Fall, they may not have predicted its repercussions: Celebrity endorsements (thanks, Liv Tyler), vintage versions from Chanel and Moschino emerging in the tabloids (hello, Rihanna), and finally, the fast fashion echo-boom happening now.
Since these bombers are just hitting stores, it's a safe bet they'll continue to be on-trend through Fall. And if you don't want to channel Kanye West (or Rosie Huntington-Whitley, or Zoe Saldana, or the myriad of other celebs rocking their own printed bombers), you can always say your inspiration comes from its '90s origins - Queen Latifah, Salt 'n Peppa, Blossom, Clarissa, and Blanche from The Golden Girls all wore them back in the day.
