Baroque - Dramatic Much?


Ornate details, gilded motifs, textured fabrics, heavy brocades, golden embroideries, rich velvets, tapestry-like patterns, elaborately sculpted high-heels, maxi colars, opulence, luxury, drama - this is baroque in fashion. Loved by some, hated by others this is  a trend that leaves no one indifferent! Rebelling against the minimal, it grabs our attention for its explosion of colours, metallic hues, laces, extravagance and unmistekable bold personality. Curiously enough, it can easily be adapted to a daily look in mixed prints, exaggerated proportions, overlays or sparkles [preferably all in the same look]. How do you feel about this trend - dramatic much?

Detalhes ornamentados, motivos dourados, tecidos texturizados, brocados pesados​​, bordados de ouro, veludos ricos,  padrões de tapeçaria, saltos altos esculpidos elaboradamente, maxi colares, opulência, luxo, drama - este é o barroco na moda. Adorado por alguns, odiado por outros, esta é uma tendência que não deixa ninguém indiferente! Rebelando-se contra o estilo minimalista, chama a nossa atenção pela sua explosão de cores, tons metálicos, rendas, extravagância e inconfundível personalidade ousada . Curiosamente,  pode ser facilmente adaptado a um look diário em padrões misturados, proporções exageradas, sobreposições e brilhos [de preferência todos no mesmo look]. O que acha desta tendência demasiado dramática?

  1. Personally I like baroque, however you have to be careful about not overdoing it if you have a small frame or pairing it with too many patterns.

  7. Are you better this morning? I feel that something is changing with the help of this colourful tasty post! :-)
    Baroque does not leave me indifferent when is in small dose! I'm for the minimal fashion, but semel in anno licet insanire!
    Have a wonderful day and a very positive week!

  8. Espero que estejas melhor da gripe! Eu sinceramente adoro esta tendencia, mas acho tão fácil de se cair no mau gosto, no tacky e no ridiculo com ela. Se bem que eu sou mesmo muito democrática em termos de moda, acho que esta tendencia não é para toda a gente - há pessoas que ficam mesmo MUITO ridiculas, lamento - e por isso deve ser sábiamente doseada. Digo eu!

  12. El barroco muy recargado no me gusta demasiado, pero combinado con colores lisos si. Algunos look son geniales. las gafas me encantan.

  15. I love baroque. Yes, it's dramatic, but sometimes you have to amp up the drama to make a statement.
    Those gold pumps--they pierce my heart.
    Much love.
