Accent of the Year: 3D Flowers

Are brooches back? Yes, but with an update. We'll be pinning our personality to ourselves with 3D flowers. These playful, feminine accessories add dimension and can change a look from season to season. High-end brands are creating options like this floral brooch from Gucci made with handmade Italian silk. And brands like Delpozo are sewing them right onto their designs.

We saw hints of this modification trend in 2016, with the rise of patches by Anya Hindmarch and Mira Mikati. Now, 3D flowers will offer a subtle and more mature way to get in on the personalization theme that started with these emoji-inspired designs. We've already seen them turn up on Dior sneakers, Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, and Fendi bag straps.
