Memoirs of a Geisha Fashion Trends

Will the bohemian look with its long flowing skirts and fun beaded jewelry be replaced soon with geisha glamour a la Memoirs of a Geisha? According to a report by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, this might be the case:

" The film "Memoirs of a Geisha," [...] tells the story of a poor Japanese girl who goes to work as a servant in a geisha house and ends up learning the art of the geisha.

But Sony Pictures Entertainment, parent company of Columbia Pictures, has already mastered the art of the sell, inking licensing agreements with a handful of retailers and manufacturers for merchandise tie-ins with the film.

Japanese-inspired products range from makeup to tea - and even include leather goods, such as shoes and bags from Icon and a high-end cherry-blossom candle from the D.L. & Co. that's available at Barneyslinks New York.

"Lots of these products bubble to the surface after people see the movie," said Amy Klaris, a branding specialist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon Associates. "The geisha look will bring a bit of the Asian touch, through higher neckline [mandarin collar] tops, beading and embroidery."

For fashionistas, that may be a welcome change of pace. Japanese-inspired fashion is a stark contrast to bohemian-chic styles that are now in vogue, featuring earth tones, flowing skirts and chunky beads.

"Asia is already in focus as an alternative ethnic inspiration to follow tired old boho," David Wolfe, a trend analyst with the Doneger Group in New York, said via e-mail."

I personally think there's room for both the bohemians and the geishas, but I'm curious to see what kind of jewelry trends will be inspired by the movie and book (which I love....hoping the movie does justice to this great book). I'll be keeping an eye out for geisha jewelry trends.
