If you love florals, why not show off your love in 3D? Appliqué flowers and ruffled embellishments are so Chanel – and bang on trend for the stylish year ahead. Check Chanel and Louis Vuitton’s collections for Spring Summer 2012 to be inspired by this trend.
OVERSIZED HATS
Some of the best fashion trends are not born of the catwalk; instead, our favourite celebs and the stylistas on the streets champion an accessory that sets the Western world alight. Cue the oversized trilby, the 70s floppy hat and the off-beat boater. We hope the hat is here to stay.
GOLD
Egyptian, strikingly bright Gold’s are back with a 70’s twist, check out Gucci’s line for Spring Summer, you’ll note the same inspiration for Salma Hayek’s dress she wore to the Golden Globes this year. Opt for Gold and stay away from Silver, as 2012 shuns all Silver hues and goes for the Gold!!
THE GREAT GATSBY / 20S COCKTAIL ATTIRE
With F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book The Great Gatsby due for release on the big screen courtesy of Baz Luhrmann late in 2012, the fashion world has been jazz-dancing towards flapper dresses, skull caps and long reams of glass beads to celebrate the 20’s era. A classic local example is the newly released campaign by Colombo Jewellery Stores who celebrated the 20’s when the Jewellery company was set up. Sadly though all 50’s inspired clothing is best left in the memories of 2011.
