Pick any color you want from apple green to peppermint, fuchsia to rose pink, turquoise to baby blue, coral to peach and canary yellow to pale pink. Rainbows the limit.
Hollywood glamour Glamour is back. Sparkle is back. The seasons woman is sexy and she wants to be noticed. Show pieces are luxurious, precious and full of shimmer. Excess is good taste again. Glitter and gold decorate the collections. Accessories are embellished with rhinestones, sequins and resin. Tools of choice are iridescent and metallic leather, see-through plastic and colored Plexiglas. Flower pins in fabric and plastic, butterfly accents, starfish, loads of pearls and fringes all complete the look. Layer bracelets for that of-the-moment look. Snake jewellery is also so hip. Dont be afraid to be noticed. Dare to be a Hollywood star!
Print frenzy Op and pop art, stripes, polka dots, abstract and colored sketches serve as eye candy. They appear in shoes from espadrilles laced around the ankle to sandals, pumps, open-toed shoes and flats. Bags, belts and hats also didnt go unnoticed. This season is not for the fainthearted. Its for the confident and daring woman. Its for the woman who doesnt take fashion too seriously and just wants to have fun!
Vintage This influence has been ruling the collections for many seasons. It is stronger than ever this summer. Now, we need not search the flea markets to find the perfect croc bag. The past eras influences are emphasized with the use of exotic leather like lizard, snake and crocodile, then modernized with the choice of colors from metallic to bright hues of green, yellow, blue, pink and orange. A variety of shoe shapes from pointy to round also reflects the influence. Chains used for bag straps, wedge heels, wood and leather clogs all give an old-fashioned look to this seasons reinvented style.
