Trend of the week

Feel the tribal vibe with a heady mix of vivid colours, ethnic prints and bohemian accents.

Inspiration

The perennial tribal trend gets a fresh twist this season as designers reinterpret traditional references.

Paul & Joe channelled bright Aztec patterns into slouchy suit wear, Donna Karen showcased tribal masks on girlish skater skirts; while raffia, fringing and crochet knits made textural warrior women at Missoni.

Although tamer trendsetters looked to Alberta Ferretti and Hermes for clean safari separates; Proenza Schouler proved a leopard can change her spots with some serious neon animal print.

Style Notes

* Pair a bold animal print dress with an army surplus jacket for weekend style snaps.

* Explore tribal craft with raffia sandals or a beadwork bag – perfect for switching up any outfit.
