Ties and handkerchiefs aside, this aristocratic teardrop is making a comeback with mischief. Unlike its heritage, the new paisley this spring is not overwhelming with dense gold or silver opulence. Whether in bright bold colours or soft pastel it is playful and easy on the eyes.

A demonstration of expert improvisation.

“I designed it in fifteen days, right after Prada,” declared Miuccia Prada referring to her improvised collection for Miu Miu Spring 2012. Inspired by Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps, the collection managed to allude to many trends set forth by the shows prior, including colours, a clean silhouette and feminine lace.
