Style Notebook : Fresh Cuts

style notebook: freshcuts

Emirates Woman brings you the monthly edit of the season’s top must-have pieces. This week’s trend is all about the fresh cuts of the floral variety.

It may not be spring yet but 3d floral appliqué brings blooms to life this season, rescuing them from their reputation as the staid reserve of grannies everywhere.

A modern air and a playful sensibility is all you need to start the year with a spring in your step. Scattered placements, oversized repeats and decorative appliqués in varying scales and compositions are noted across bags, shoes, jewellery and even eyewear. Exaggerated proportions could be seen on pretty A-line dresses at Rebecca Taylor while Peter Pilotto brought us more playful arrangements. Our favourite picks from below have to be Simone Rocha‘s brogues and Chanel’s shoulder bag, these pieces will be earning their place as our wardrobe staples from now and up to winter. Summer is going to be blooming.
