From Vuitton’s 1.000 euro plastic rain coat (Spring Summer 2011 collection), plastic boots and bags at Burberry to Christian Louboutin’s new stiletto’s, the so called ”trashy” trend has been gaining momentum.

More brands are set to embrace the concept and further expand either entire product lines or ranges as well as capsule collection.
