Far East Fashion Revolution

Far Eastern Influence - an essential trend for A/W 2012

This season is going to be all about the Far East, from Dries Van Noten's raid through the Chinese silk collection to Jason Wu's east meets west style dresses, expect to see lots of silk and oriental print for this Autumn Winter. Here at Javelin, we are loving the crane print on the Bombshell Bird Cap Sleeve Dress. This dress is the easiest way to wear the trend because it teams a classic hourglass cut dress with the traditional eastern print of crane birds. Cranes are lucky in Japanese culture - it is said that if you fold 1000 paper cranes you will be granted a wish by a crane, so get folding! Alternatively, you can just wear the dress and hope it brings you good luck because it'll certainly look good. We also like the colourful cherry blossom print on the Darling Arabella dress and tunic because it has a hand painted appearance. Team the tunic with a wide belt (or use a big piece of ribbon like we have) and some wide leg trousers for an on trend evening look.
