Walk on the Wild Side
13.03.2008Feel the heat this season in a plethora of tribal-inspired pieces. The ‘globe trotter’ trend encompasses a little bit of everything from fringing to prints and embellishment to rainbow colours – and will inevitably evoke thoughts of tropical climates and balmy summer nights.
Luscious lightweight fabrics adorned with beading and sequins are the perfect compliment to leather accessories. Team Antik Batik’s Jet dress with their Foster pouch and Juddy sandals to really indulge in some safari-style.
If you’re looking for jet-set-chic make sure you pack Papillon Bleu’s Sahara kaftan. The aptly named piece is a striking mixture of animal print and beading embellishment – wear it for the beach or during the evening.
This trend isn’t restricted to daywear, Georgina Goodman’s Rio shoes add that extra magic to your little black dress so you can dance the night away – get those tiger feet moving!
Prints needn’t be overtly tropical in appearance, See by Chloé’s Aztec print dress epitomises the colourful vibe of the trend perfectly, team with a fringed accessory like Meli Melo’s Bon Bon bag to keep to the theme.
Whether you prefer colour or neutrals, this trend really has something for everyone and manages to fuse glamour with casual-chic – a real fashion feat!
