Elizabeth Cabral, Fashion Director Flare magzine, before Giambattista Valli Couture, Paris, July 2012.
A summery version of the opulent trend for winter... metallic embroidery, jacquard, brocade, the more luxe the fabric the better!
Recreate Liz's look (kind of) in brocade/jacquard pieces:
Marni floral jacquard jacket, Tibi lurex jacquard top, Rochas brocade long sleeve sweater, ASOS skater skirt in snake jacquard, See by Chloe Bee Free brocade mini skirt , or Zac Posen metallic brocade pencil skirt
