Micro-Trend: Draping

Draping is the micro trend making a quiet power move – showing up on everything from fluid dresses to softly structured tops. Elegant yet effortless, it adds a refined, sculptural edge to everyday pieces. More brands – and influencers across the region – are taking note, with plenty of styling inspiration from the likes of @emelieolson, @valentinamarzullo and @karenwazen. Safe to say, we’re here for it.
