Style Panel: 6 ways to incorporate fall’s edgy black-on-black leather look into any wardrobe
As we’ve already attested to (twice!), one of fall’s most dominant trends is undoubtedly the black-on-black leather look made staple by fictitious mastermind Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Since such a tough as nails getup isn’t, well, everyone’s cup of tea, we challenged our Style Panelists to appropriate some portion of the look into their every day wardrobes. From Adventures in Fashion’s Vickie Laliotis’s girlie peek-a-boo sweater and faux leather skirt to Hello Elo’s Élodie Parthenay’s sleeve tattoos, this look varies in degrees of perfect execution.

H&M does Lisbeth Salander: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo collection to launch in December
After reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you’ll most likely want to become the twisted anti-heroine Lisbeth Salander. However, given the lack of job openings for high-tech crime-solving vigilantes, it’s much easier to dress like her—and now especially so with H&M’s newest collaboration. The Swedish retailer is bringing the Swedish character’s signature style to the masses: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (that is, the American version of the film) costume designer Trish Summerville has created a dark and industrial collection inspired by Salander. The pieces all have a worn-in, personalized feel and include slashed T-shirts, rough-cut denim, and tight-fitting leather jackets and pants—in a range of moody greys, maroons, and black. And thankfully, there’s not an actual dragon tattoo to be seen.
