Embellishing summer 2012: embellished dresses & accessories.

Embellished clothing and accessories abound every season. They’re not a trend, but a staple. Despite this, the use of embellishments changes year by year, season by season, slowly evolving with society’s tastes.

Contradicting their own past status, embellishments are experiencing that same shift in spring / summer 2012. Whereas in a not-so-distant time embellishments entailed loud and over-the-top metallics, this season is about accenting the wardrobe with hints of colourful crystals, appliqué work and needlework embroidery. With a an accent here and a glisten there, your summer wardrobe is about to embark on a journey of intricate craftsmanship.
