Celebrity Style – Sequin Fashion

October 22, 2009

Sparkle and shine. Its all about making a statement these days whether its with colors, accessories or patterns, but what about textures? Sequin fashion is back and better than ever taking on our favorite fall trend of the boyfriend blazer.

Rocking on with sequin artistry, Mary-Kate Olsen wears her own Elizabeth and James sequin dress design. These dresses are great for special occasions, cocktail parties, and holiday events. DVF and Robert Rodriguez both have amazing sequin dress patterns and designs that are perfect for cocktail wear. One good piece of advice with sequins is to make sure they are of a quality design and craftsmanship.

Sometimes sequins can be a fine line, but with the right design and styling sequin fashions can have the ultimate “wow” factor. Too many sequins, accessories, or cheap fabric can make the piece seem gaudy, over-the-top, or just plain

trashy. So, buyer beware. If you think sequins are to girly or “out there” for you, try the trend in black as it isn’t as eye-popping as any of the metallics or colors, but still have the sparkle and radiates chic.
