Trend Report: Embroidery Makes a Comeback This Year



This year this artful trend is making a fierce comeback and we are loving it! The embroidery patches or full fledged hand/machine embroidery have been recently spotted at the SS17 runway shows like Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Anita Dongre, Sabhyasachi and Kunal Rawal to name a few.

Embroidery was prevalent in the fashion dynasty ever since clothing was realised to be something much more than just covering ones nakedness. The embroidery technique was widely used in Indian clothing , to some extent in Chinese clothing and in British fashion in the early ancient civilization. The embroideries done during those eras were exquisite and all hand done by skilled craftsmen and women. Fashion may be changing constantly but recently there has been a drastic change in the way fashion is perceived. The trends of the past are proclaimed to be the trends of the future. Embroidery on clothing is a thing of the past, yet its incorporation in modern silhouettes has created a fresh new fashion trend that is currently loved by all.

There are a wide variety of techniques that are associated with this craft, and it is suited for nearly any kind of raw material, so long as it can be spun into thread. Recognised for the beauty it can add to understated garments, embroidery can make your outfit really come to life.


Moving on, we have three kinds of embroidery trends going viral this season; Flora, Fauna and Geometry. Here's how here’s how you should wear it!

Embroidery on Outfits:
