What are Fashion Trends?

Fashion is a language and like any language it evolves by absorbing influences from different cultures and traditions. Designers look to various aesthetics, craftsmanship and established brands to bring in new elements to their collections. Whether it’s the sophistication of Parisian fashion, the boldness of African prints or the minimalism of Japanese design, cultural influences are a treasure trove of fashion inspiration.

By incorporating these into your wardrobe you can create a style that’s yours and pay homage to different cultures.

Cut-outs are hot this season and adding an edge to otherwise basic pieces. This trend has been seen on tops and dresses and even swimwear. Strategically placed cut-outs can add a little sexiness without being too revealing so perfect for both everyday and evening wear.

Pair a cut-out dress with minimal accessories to keep the focus on the cut-out. For a more relaxed look opt for tops with subtle cut-outs and pair with high waisted jeans or a cute skirt.
