TREND NOTES: 1950s

With Spring just around the corner, it's no wonder that the ever-feminine and classic style of the 1950s is making a massive stamp on the Fall runways this year. Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Nina Ricci have all taken notes from"Mad Men" characters, Betty, Joan and Peggy and have created timeless pieces, with splashes of colour and silhouettes that will suit any woman. This is one trend that should definitely influence your next purchase.
