With romance in the air this month, it’s time to indulge a piece of fashion finery. Indulge yourself with brilliant brocade and you’ll be right up to the minute.

Brocade is this month’s hot fashion news. It’s right at home at New York Fashion Week, on royalty or while you are out and about. It’s intricate and opulent - so it’s great for a romantic or royal rendezvous. It’s even bordering this season’s modern chic look - how and when you wear it is all up to you. Be creative but be sure to include this sumptuous style into your spring wardrobe!

Looks to look out for:

• Brocade fabrics stun in shades of honey right through to golden copper sheens. Deep warm tones of red and purple give you the rich and regal look.
• Add a dash of brocade to anything. It’s giving the edge to coats, blazers, skirts, suits, clutches, boots, shoes, evening dresses, belts and even tops.
