A TOUCH OF SPARKLE TO EVERYTHING...

In todays fashion, there are so many fusions. From 50's vintage styles mixed with the futuristic chic look to mixing contracting colours.  But one trend that seems to have come to stay is EMBELLISHMENTS. 


Every fashion forward woman and some metrosexual men  want to have their outfit adorned with pearls, stones, diamante, crystals, gemstones, sequins, beads, buttons and anything that can add that touch of sparkle bling and glam to their outift.


Whether you are looking to revamp an old LBD or ankara (african fabric) outfit, or interested in an embellished tunic, kaftan or boubou with a personal touch or adding some bling to a jacket, blazer or back pockets of your jeans... Whatever the case may be, adding an embellised patch, motif or neckline is guaranteed to upgrade your style. Ofcourse, Bags and shoes are not left out.


Looking at necklines, motifs and patches on their own do not necessarily give a visual idea of their potential.  Its always best to place the motif on a piece of fabric or the actual outfit you want to embellish.

Below are some neckline motifs...














Now look at the motifs on the fabrics and i am sure you would appreciate the trasnformation.
