Beading, brocade and intricate floral embroidery are making a seasonally apt return, bringing a renewed sense of romance and artistry to the new season. Seen across the runways of Dior and beyond, richly textured fabrics, delicate embellishments and exquisite threadwork are lending an artisanal sensibility to everything from statement eveningwear to everyday separates. The appeal lies in the detail, with craftsmanship taking centre stage in pieces designed to be admired up close.
