Shine like A Star

This spring season comes with a new fashion look: clothes that make you shine like a star, literally.

Sparkling encrustations and appliqué on dresses, tops and jackets was seen on catwalk, throughout many spring collections: sequins, imitation glass gems, studs and opaque beads embellished necklines, hemlines and sleeve edges. Sequin covered dresses may not be such a new thing; the highlights of this style are the punk influence studs and mirror fragments, used especially on the neck and shoulder area.

Shine

My favorite: shoulder studded “amour” from Burberry Prorsum.
