New Year, New Rules

From sky-high platforms to statement jewelry and wearable tech, here are twelve ways to push your look forward in 2015.

1. Eye Candy

Dior

Pair a fresh face with an intense wash of colorful eye shade a la Spring 2015 runway models. 

2. Everyday Suede

Chloe

Napped leather may be the fabric of the sun-kissed seventies, but according to Louis Vuitton, Derek Lam, and Gucci it's also intensely of-the-moment.

3. Picnic Prints

DVF

Oversize checks put a fresh spin on the feminine pattern. 

4. Touch the Sky

Valentino

The daintier single sole moves aside for a shoe with a little more heft.  Viva la platform!

5. High Rise

Rodarte

The stovepipe jeans on Rodarte's spring runway reinforced denim's dominance on the street-style front.

6. Winter Whites

Michael Kors

Treat ivory tones as a glorious neutral fit for all seasons. 

7. Top it Off

Tory Burch

Spring runways were all about the 70s- especially at Saint Laurent, where Hedi Slimane designed miniature dresses and smart wide-brimmed felt hats.  

8. Back On Track

Will.i.am's new smartband, i.amPlus tells time, makes phone calls, and connects to instagram.

9. Big Drop

Eddie Borgo

Sonia Boyajian's object trouve earrings for Nini Ricci's spring show have inspired other adornments of fanciful whimsy.  

10. On the Grid

Louis Vuitton

Graphic accessories pack an extra punch, as seen on latticework bags at Louis Vuitton and Proenza Schouler.

11. New Heights

Altuzarra x Gianvito Rossi

The gladiator style - spotted everywhere- is an especially good complement to leggy looks. 

12. Short Notice

Burberry

Cropped jackets are the season's key transition piece.
