Although there are different ways of interpreting [and naming] this trend, you can’t deny that it’s out there. I am quite fond of the term foulard, although I’m not sure it covers the whole breadth of the style. It’s part scarf, part menswear, and has a strong cross-over with the geometric styling of Islamic patterns. I love seeing how these designers have incorporated such a classic element into their spring collections.

I’m nearly caught up on all the new Spring collections and there’s so much goodness I almost don’t know where to start. There are a lot of strong trends that you’ll find in upcoming posts, but I wanted to start here with Threeasfour, who presented a collection that really stood out from the rest. The below dress caught my eye in particular, reminding me of a pretty photo I recently saw a while back on a great blog called Desert Dreamer.
