emerging as a trend can be
traced back to previous seasons
with major players such as Dolce
& Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger,
Mango and Monique Lhuillier
releasing collections that
focused on concealed dressing.

been fast to pick up on

style.

reamy, soft textures
with a metallic brilliance
come to the fore this season
with a shift towards luxe
materials such as silk. A

put to rest by designers
who reintroduced the fabric
in dresses, handkerchief-
