This season we are looking for various elements reflecting the invincible power and allure of the ocean. It’s all about aquamarine and various shades of blue, the marine life, the nautical theme and the aquatic treasures. Incorporate in your outfits clam or other crustacean motifs, wavy patterns, anchors, ropes and other sailor-inspired symbols, corals and florals of the sea, fish motifs, and the all-time classic marinière, so much adored by Jean-Paul Gaultier and other designers. Let’s set sail for the shops!
