SAFARI TROPICS

Escapism as a buzz word keeps cropping up. This time it's by far the most delightful, with a tropical-cum-safari feel. Gucci nailed this look with just enough of both worlds, incorporating vibrant tropical prints in warm hues next to khaki safari suits – pay particular attention to safari jackets this season. Other strong points from Gucci include mini caftan dresses and python which we see applied as both a skin and a print this season. Back to the safari; other leaders in on this look include Ralph Lauren, who nodded to a Moroccan adventure, though a very luxe one complete with gold sequin jackets and harem pants. Colors are rooted in neutrals with splashes of purple or aqua.
