Sequin Sisters

Sequins and sparkles will never be outdated. In every fashion capital, glitter and glam go together indisputably – from designers such as Dior and Tom Ford all the way to Gucci. And the best thing about it is you can grab sequins on the high street, not just high end.

Unbelievably sequins have been around for centuries but were first made popular when King Tut’s tomb was discovered in 1922, as he was found with metal disks on his garments. He was alive in 1341 BC, this was when the fabulous trend began to unfold. From this discovery in the 1920s, women’s ball gowns were covered in similar metal disks.

Conglomerate Versace never disappoints, as the Spring/Summer 2018 catwalk was literally dripping in golden sequins! Aside from this being extremely sophisticated and chic, Versace pulls it off effortlessly. Other brands such as Mark Jacobs and Gucci also featured sequins on their 2018 catwalk, what more proof do you need that sequins are the next big thing?

Looking back in time, sequins were huge in the 40s and 50s especially when icons such as Marilyn Monroe consistently wore them! Everyone knows Marilyn for high fashion and complete glamour, and sequins were the way to achieve that goal!

Sequins are such a huge trend because they’re so diverse that anyone can wear them. They can be worn on a red carpet dress or attached to a Juicy Couture tracksuit!
