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 [1] from Gucci made with handmade Italian silk. And brands like Delpozo [2] are sewing them right onto their designs.
We saw hints of this modification trend in 2016, with the rise of patches by Anya Hindmarch [3] and Mira Mikati [4]. 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 [5], Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses [6], and Fendi bag straps [7].
This is number seven in our 15-part series on 2017 lifestyle trends. Check out the entire Big in 2017 feature [8] to find out what else will power your style, friendships, and home life this year.
