Haute & Cool: The Butterfly Effect

GUCCI Printed Silk Twill Carré $520. Gucci Stores.

The butterfly is flourishing throughout the fashion world. It is a symbol of refinement and new beginnings, an inspiring theme for spring. Designers have long had a fascination with the ethereal creature. The mosaic wing patterns, vibrant colors and fluttering movement create a dreamlike aesthetic that translates beautifully into fabric prints, embroidery and artful accessories.

Several high-fashion houses have editorialized the colorful insect into their latest collections. Carolina Herrera is embroidering gilded 3D butterflies onto featured looks of the maison’s Resort runway. Gucci is known for its exploration of the icon, most often displayed within iterations of its signature garden prints. Butterfly-inspired frames have been crafted into Chloé’s luxury eyewear. The enchanting emblem can be found objectified in creative ways throughout handbag designs, statement jewelry and home décor.

The beautiful bugs have proven to have wide appeal. Their delicate nature and transient beauty make them a prominent symbol of grace and femininity in fashion and art. Are you looking to bring the butterfly effect into your personal style? Here’s how to capture its whimsy as we burst into spring.
