Three's A Trend: Fantastical

Three's A Trend: Fantastical

Three's a trend. Designers have plunged head-first into the realm of the fantastical. And we're gaga for it.

 

Case Study #1

Techies can get their 'digi-fix' from a glittering line of expressive cartoon-faced accessories that debuted as part of the Chiara Ferragni Collection. The Italian blogger and social darling drew some serious 'inspo' from emoji's popularized on social platforms like Facebook and Insta. Think winky eyed backpacks and kissy faced slip-ons. There's nothing like wearing your emotions on your... feet?!
