Fashion takes a turn for the exotic this spring with an explosion of tribal prints, textures and accessories.....
Fashion has gone global for Spring/Summer 2009, with designers drawing inspiration from every corner of the globe. A look which started with Yves Saint Laurent's legendary safari jump suits has been re-interpreted this season, and designers including Paul Smith have looked to Africa and the Orient for their muse.
Tribal themes can be seen with the strong use of animal prints, in cheetah and leopard print tops, combined with geometric shaped skirts in earthy hues such as grass green. Turbans also crop up again and again, most notably doned by Kate Moss earlier this year.
An African feel is also apparent in the Egyptian style drapery and sheer neutral toned fabrics at Paul Smith and Max Azria, which give the ensemble a regal chic reminiscent of Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra. Further majesty can be seen in the flowing kaftans at Reem Arca and Gucci in dusty gold and sapphire blue respectively.
To pull off this look you need to pick one of the outlined themes and stick to it - don't wear a sheer jumpsuit with a leopard print cardigan! For the daytime, the animal print look of Christopher Kane is a safe bet, as is the Safari casual, with beige shorts and simple sandals.
Keeping with all things tribal, Auguaclara's SS09 swimwear collection is injected with global themes taken from all over the world. Shop now.
