This embroidery trend has taken over the highstreet, I don't think you can find a store without a garment with a touch of embroidery on it! Truth be told, I'm so glad about this, the embroidery trend has to be one of my favourites for the winter. It adds colour, pattern and style to all our basic winter warm ups!
Whether its on tough denim or a velvet, don't wear this trend and expect not to get noticed. This trend is all about nostalgia and making that 'look at me' statement.
Chanel took this trend to new heights, by creating beautiful characteristic bees on a sheer, to give a more classic appearance but still keeping a sense of fun. ( I also love how every bee appears to be different!- giving them all a sense of individuality)
This denim jacket reminds me of a classic cross-stitch pattern my nan would do! The jacket demonstrates a vintage revamp on a wardrobe staple which adds a touch of femininity.
Gucci really didn't hold back with the embroidery with the use of thick thread to create a 3D look on this royal blue cardigan. The thick stitch represents for me the essence of winter - wrapping up warm. The bold birds are an unmissable statement with them dressed in jewels giving a royalist exhibition to a basic cover up.
Theres literally nothing that Valentino does that doesn't manage to amaze me, the Resort collection for AW 16 didn't disappoint. The whimsical nature of the emboridery creates a naturalistic look, which appears to glide across the shear fabrics to create a garment which is ultra feminine. (it almost reminds me of a sophisticated hippy- if there is such a thing!)
Ralph and Russo within this collection make this trend for me timeless, the simplicity used to create a cascade of gold flowers is elegant and exquisite. The use of space suggests that less can be more with this current trend.
To see whats on my current Wishlist for this trend look out for my next post!
