The Tie-Dye Trend
One of the more surprising trends that I have noticed this spring is one involving tie-dye. It is in so many places these days and can even be found in another spring/summer 2019 trend, the bucket hat. There are so many elements thrown together into this particular trend. For instance, the fusion of color found in the tie-dye trend are similar but a more muted version of the colors we have seen with the neon trend. Additionally, there are also many aspects of the tie-dye trend that has taken over spring fashion that contain the specific look and feel of spring. In my opinion, this just goes to show that…

There is something so dreamy about the gowns that have these floral details on them, and I think they are such a lovely mix into an otherwise leaf dominated autumn season. Something that really surprised me about the Giambattista Valli runway was the fun,…
