Balmain brocade and sequin dress
The season of the lace, sequinned or Little Black Dress. They are the trustworthy best friend at this time of the year. They require little thought and can be thrown on and you still manage to be best dressed at the party. Why change something that works so well?
But, if you would like to put your fashion foot forward, there is no better way to do this than with a brocade piece of clothing, a delicious, decadent item that exerts beauty and manages to look expensive, even when you've picked a piece from the high street. Opulent dressing at it's best, brocade is the way forward this festive season.
Balmain's Christophe Decarnin designed lavish suits, dresses and gowns in beautiful gold threaded fabric which inspires a rock and roll feel to the look.
Anna Wintour has forever wore the fabric, in a different array of designs. Coats, dresses and skirts are a favourite with the US Vogue editor.
As well as Balmain, Jason Wu and Etro are other high end designers to go to for this look with dresses that are fit to dress up or down, proving that they can be a 'forever' piece.
For the high street, Zara, Marks and Spencer and F+F at Tesco have key items that will transform your look at a very affordable price.
Next offers different accessories, like shoe boots and evening bags which introduces, the sometimes difficult to wear, look into your wardrobe.
