From Oscar de la Renta to Louis Vuitton, the key to summer opulence is in your fabric choice. Be inspired by The Stillness of Summer
Wearing summer's most sumptuous fabrics is a sure fire way to add finesse to your wardrobe. What's most enjoyable about this year's offering? The inclusion of 'event-attire' fabrics in to every day pieces. Valentino's head-to-toe heavy satin white number is a perfect garden party option. Not just for night.
For something a little extra, Oscar de la Renta, as always, makes a plea for layer upon layer of tulle and sequins galore. Opt for a traditional princess style gown in sea blue with rivers of silver leafing. For something a little more sophisticated, head to toe black with a T-shirt style neckline works wonders.
Hair and make-up should remain raw and almost wild. Free-flowing locks and barely-there eyes and lips tone down fabrics which could otherwise be overly opulent.
