Board with global chic
June 30, 2010
Even if you’re not getting your passport stamped with exotic locations, you can still transport yourself to global destinations via your wardrobe this summer.
Traveller chic is one of this season’s hottest trends but don’t even think about digging out your rucksack unless it’s a Louis Vuitton duffel bag – the look is more business class glamour than economy scruff, thanks to the designers luxe take on this nomadic trend. True Religion Jeans
International catwalks have adopted an air of jet-set chic with the four corners of the globe providing the backdrop.
Paul Smith, Dries Van Noten and Marc by Marc Jacobs all took the fashion world on a far-flung adventure with elements of African tribal brights, Indonesian Ikat prints and Egyptian gilt-edged detailing. links of london bracelet
You don’t need a round-the-world ticket to channel the global vibe.
Go fully on board with one destination style or mix-and-match your international inspirations for a neo-hippy edge. Think plane-hopping traveller who collects style souvenirs from every vacation and flings them on in an eclectic way that always looks picture postcard perfect.
