Covet the high shine and shimmer of Miu Miu, Proenza Schouler and Saint Laurent this season, with one of the most opulent of all the spring trends.
From sex-up vinyl textures at Miu Miu to mermaid inspired iridescent pleats at Antipodium; designers played with texture and finish for Spring/Summer ’14.
Think of this trend as the new way to embellish. Instead of jewels and gems, high-octane opulence comes in the form of liquid gold accessories, petrol look finishes and holographic textures.
Here are our favourite high shine and shimmer pieces, sure to please your inner fashion magpie.
