Jacquard Joy

From micro minis to full length gowns, designers are positively jolly about jacquard, characterized by intricate woven patterns often produced on a jacquard loom.

    I've actually been noticing a lot of jacquard on spring runways as well! It's kind of an interesting fabric for texture, but not exactly spring-like. :)

    Beautiful! I'd love to design jewelry that would complement!

    Jacquard is a little heavy for Florida for anything but a skirt, maybe a jacket...but I love it anyway!

    I love Jacquard, found a lovely little pink jacquard skirt a while ago.
    Adore the this season D&G and 'D&G metallic jacquard top'. The Anna Sui top is so cute and the Zac Posen would be rather divine without the trim, I love the way the hair is styled with it too.
