Rhinestone Fashion Taking Center Stage for Fall/Winter

When one of the finest Italian luxury fashion houses chooses to make a statement with rhinestones and appliqué, the fashion world takes note.

That's exactly what Dolce & Gabanna did in their Fall and Winter 2015 collections. From the rhinestone encrusted delicacies of the Alta Moda collection that float like ballerinas to the strategically placed brocade in the tres haute diva collection, trimmings are the medium of adornment in the fashion house this season. Even their nostalgic "I love you momma" ready-to-wear collection deftly utilizes trim adornments with a twist of childhood whimsy and retro 50s flair.

Rhinestone fashion and brocade fabric are definitely center stage this season, and the collections also suggest inspiring new ideas for incorporating trimming of any kind. Here are some trends we expect to see a lot more of in the next few months.
