Bows N Bows N Bows

From headbands to necktie blouses, bows are back in a big way. We've always been a fan of a tie-neck blouse because we think it makes our hunched-over-computer posture look a little bit better. We also love a good headband--one of the only ways we actively accessorize anymore. That said, this bow-comeback we are big fans of. From Proenza Fall 08 to Armani Haute Couture, bows (both boyish and feminine) are making appearances. Such a simple turn of fabric can lend itself to DIY and vintage versions quite easy, making it one of those trends that will surely be popular if only because it's so democratic. Below, we've put together a trend gallery (in order, by: Topshop, Ashleigh Verrier, Proenza Schouler, Monique Lhuillier, Karen Walker, Brian Reyes, Temperley London, Bill Blass, Christian Dior, Charles Nolan, and Giorgio Armani) on the appearance of bows from fall through couture season, and farther down, a spread of the current season incarnations that have kick-started the trend on the street level.
