Creative touches and plenty of colour give the season’s newest accessories plenty of punch.
DIVERSE NOTIONS
Whether it’s a roaring tiger set against a camouflage background or abstract motifs inspired by the work of the late Russian painter Nicolas de Stael, fashion offers various ways to be a moving canvas right now.
Canvas and leather bag, from Valentino. Oliver Peoples metal sunglasses, from authorised retailers.
FORCE OF NATURE
Incorporating flamboyant animal prints into your outfit can be a challenge. Coach’s abstract “drip-leopard” pattern offers a cool, artsy way to be part of the jungle fever.
REIGN OF TERRA
Earthy tones are anything but boring when they’re combined with incongruous images: Givenchy, for instance, mixes camouflage with dollar-bill imagery, and surrealist motifs with hardy material in sensible brown.
DEFINING DETAILS
You don’t need a whole lot of bright colours for onlookers to pay attention. Strategically placed strips of vibrant cobalt or an artistically graduated brown makes as much of a statement.
Leather sneakers, from Berluti. Cotton shirt and leather bag, from Salvatore Ferragamo.
FOR ALL AGES
Some of our favourite illustrations for spring come straight from the kids’ department. While wildlife playfully disrupts the Louis Vuitton monogram, sombreros and cacti enliven a light-blue coin purse by Prada.
