Originally meant to provide additional warmth to cold
weather garments, quilting is no longer so much about functionality but more about
style. It spread out its stitches from winter coats and the occasional Chanel bag to
pretty much every item of the wardrobe – tops, shoes, belts and even
sunglasses.

This Spring/Summer is surprisingly welcoming to
the quilting trend translating it into lightweight fabrics in clothes and
bright juicy hues in leather goods, shoes and other accessories. The 3D texture
and cleanness of this geometrical pattern gives a feel of understated luxury
and undeniable sophistication even to quite common pieces.
Executed in black or ivory, quilting has become a classic statement of elegance.
