TROPIC THUNDER
Wrap yourself in the splendour of Brazil’s Amazon jungle through life-like prints and embroideries of birds, and lush greens that recall the dense foliage of the world’s largest rainforest.
WINTER’S TALE
Icy blasts of blue on your ensemble will immediately transport you to the breath-taking landscapes of Iceland.
NATURAL ORDER
Roar into Africa with the wildest animal prints transformed with bold splashes of colour.
SPIRITED AWAY
Embrace the siren call of India with an exotic mélange of dresses and high-shine jewellery steeped in an ethnic vibe.
EARTH HOUR
Capture the sublime beauty of Australia’s Uluru using rich tones of maroon, rust and red.
WALK IN THE PARK
Because idyllic afternoons in the English countryside are best spent in snug knits and tweeds.
HOW TO WEAR ART-INSPIRED PRINTS
Take a trip through art history with gallery-worthy wardrobe investments
Fashion and art share an inexplicable link, with the latter inspiring some of contemporary fashion’s most memorable works. Take Elsa Schiaparelli’s famous lobster dress, a couture masterpiece that referenced the twisted genius of Salvador Dali. Or Louis Vuitton’s successful partnership with Jeff Koons, which saw the artist rework world-famous paintings on the brand’s iconic bag styles. With fashion also considered wearable art—with the list of collaborations getting longer and longer—there’s no better time than now to channel your inner museum curator. Turn your wardrobe into a mini Louvre of sorts: Pop Art graphics on a handbag add a colourful jolt of interest to your ensemble, while Impressionist-style florals blossoming on a flawless coat give it a priceless and rarefied quality.
