Innovative Leather Tailoring in Store for Spring 2019

Spring 2019 had a whirlwind of leather in numerous avatars. While it certainly is a surprise, it doesn’t look any bit like an oddity to see a typically winter material sashaying into summer owing to the silhouettes and colour palette (pastels and bright shades in place of the usual blacks and burgundys). From all-over leather dresses to leather-on-leather layering, it’s raining leather in rather unexpected ways. Tap in to the trend with our selection of fun yet polished outfits from the runways.

Loewe’s flowing midi dress with all its details and beautiful sleeves is a real heartthrob; and so are the patent leather sheath dresses from Max Mara.

Only a fickle thought of wearing a trench coat in Indian summer may make one sound like    a maniac – but we are ready to brace that tag if the coats are as striking as those in Max Mara’s Spring Collection of 2019. We’re already praying for a few overcast evenings this summer.
