Jacquard, it's 'on trend' yes?

Jacquard trousers. Skirts. Jackets. Dresses. Jacquard is all over Europe and North America right now and I can guarantee it'll hit the streets in a big way come our cooler months this year. It's not new at all but if we are talking trends, this will be huge.

According to fabric.com, jacquard is a 'raised design or pattern woven into a fabric as opposed to being printed on the fabric'.

When I first saw the jacquard pieces in the fashion cupboard at work a couple of months ago I was all 'gosh, those pieces are awfully shiny', but I must admit, the look has definitely grown on me. Most of the pieces constructed from jacquard appear to be more structured and statement-like.

I've scanned through asos.com and picked out a few of my favourite jacquard pieces. I suppose you could call this my first edit! Roll on AW13 I say.
