Gold in Fashion - 'Must Haves'

GOLD IN FASHION MUST-HAVES WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD
By Samantha Murray Greenway
 
 ‘Must haves’ often turn out to be one-season-wonders, but this season there are pieces to be found that not only typify the current fashion moment, but will serve you well way into the future, too. 
 
PAGE ONE:
 
The Statement Coat
Christian Lacroix
 
Gold coat with embroidery down the front and embroidery on big patch pockets
 
Every wardrobe needs a coat that offers more than simple protection from the elements. Christian Lacroix’s extravagantly gilded, embroidered and bejewelled piece takes anything you would care to wear – even your simplest thrown-on black - to a whole different level. 
 
Couture Style
Krizia 
 
Gold sequin dress with small paillettes at neckline growing huge at hem
 
What’s not to love about beautifully made clothes that look so achingly lovely you could frame them on your wall? Dresses such as this, by Krizia, with fantastical paillettes which grow fairytale in size as they reach the golden hem, look purely magical. Details needn’t be so OTT, only lovingly executed and luscious in appearance.
 
PAGE TWO:
 
Structure
Yves Saint Laurent
 
Gold knee-length dress with huge black ‘belt’ detail
 
Structure is a buzz word for autumn/winter – it could relate to the jut of a lapel, the cut of a sleeve, or in this case, the way the skirt of Yves Saint Laurent’s bright golden dress flares out in modern, but still feminine, almost classic-Fifties-style arches. That’s they key to choosing this trend if you want it to last; find the piece that is fashionable but also enters the realm of stand-out stylish.
 
The Siren Dress
Diane von Furstenburg
 
Gold full length slinky dress worn with long black gloves
Made lush in glistening gold, Diane von Furstenburg’s seductive wrap-front evening dress will still look hot in twenty years to come. The truth is no matter what fashion dictates, a goddess dress is a keeper. If you have the body to wear the dress, it should never leave your wardrobe.
