For 2016,

metallics

continue on favoured fashion status-

generating a “razzmatazz’ factor to any article of clothing.

 

 

Of shine, sparkle and shimmer quality

metallic pieces

are of visual and textural interest.

 

Add a glam and glow metallics feature piece

as a wardrobe essential;

pair with a contrasting material type for

a modern look of mixed fabrication.
