Spring Into Fashion: High-Low Hems
[Hemlines at Emilio Pucci]
High/Low Hem Lines: Hemlines this season are teasingly flirty by offering the viewer just enough without giving too much away. Dresses, tops and shirts have been constructed shorter in the front and longer in the back giving off a sexy but sophisticated look. Emilio Pucci has mastered this trend for spring.

African tribal prints, animal skin patterns and bold graphic designs are a designer favorite this season. I’ve even seen some mixing and matching between animal prints and tribal patterns, which can get dangerous if not worn correctly.
Secret Stylist Tip: Keep shape lines clean...
