EMBELLISHMENT still holds us in its thrall, enriching our wardrobes both day and night. Running the gamut from barely-there glimmer to sumptuous sparkle, the collections offered up a rich feast for the eyes.
"Even casual sporty pieces carry some embellishment now, giving a whole new slant on day-to-night dressing," says Vogue.co.uk editor Dolly Jones.
Spring/summer 2014 is the time to shine – but not just come the witching hour. Sparkle from day to night by choosing embellished sportswear: bombers, blouses and bags have all had a razzle-dazzle makeover this season.There are a number of ways to take inspiration for this trend: Miu Miu went for quirky colour combinations and plenty of tassels to twist and turn in; Simone Rocha and Michael van der Ham both channelled it in a subtle, ladylike way; while for Emilio Pucci and Marc Jacobs, more was more.Visors, shopping totes, platforms and belts added the final flourish to many a catwalk moment. Our advice? Wear it all together for the ultimate total look.Words by Scarlett Kilcooley-O’Halloran.
