OLD SOCKS BECOMING HIGH FASHION?

OLD SOCKS BECOMING HIGH FASHION?

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Fashionistas in New York City have figured out a way to turn old socks into high fashion accessories -- just wear them around your wrists. It's the latest look in cuff bracelets, according to the folks at DailyCandy.com, a webzine that spots new fashion trends. Website founder Dany Levy says the sock look was first sighted on a bartender in a hip New York restaurant, and has since been sported by Britney Spears in her Super Bowl half- time ensemble. The sock bracelets are part of a bigger trend: Do-it- yourself clothing, which entails everything from rock 'n' roll ripped t-shirts to studded pants created on a Beadazzler.
