A Vivid Vision: Play on the Eyes

More and more I'm seeing really cool surrealist nods and tromp d'oeil prints that are a trick on the eyes. This dress shows stiching and pockets on a dress that adds textures and depth to a simple shift. It takes something as simple as a plain silk design and makes it look doubly expensive with designer details and elegant adornments. More and more designers are doing this as a festive touch and whimsical element and it's something fun to add into your look--and a fierce conversation piece.
