Oriental Influence.

 Fashion Week made it clear oriental designs will be featured in our summer wardrobe. Prada and Haider Ackermann have put a western twist on traditional oriental styles and patterns while Emilio Pucci used intricate oriental embellishment as a more glamourous approach to this trend.

Personally I feel the Prada show (Last 3 photos) did not execute this style as well as say, Gareth Pugh. the shapes were not complimented by the simplistic patterns. Though the idea of classical oriental designs being stripped down to the bare essentials could potentially be flawless, these outfits are too boxy and bold.
