Embellished Clothing Fall 2012 Runway Trend

Whether it was with intricate embroidery, floral appliqués, or bejeweled embellishments, designers let loose with decorations on the Fall 2012 runways. We saw cool studs and ornate, Western-inspired stitching at Isabel Marant, inspiring us to adopt a cowgirl vibe for the season. On the runways at Valentino and Stella McCartney, pumped-up floral and baroque details got a three-dimensional makeover, thanks to gorgeous embroidery work — and at Chanel, the king of gorgeous, overstated elegance served up outerwear, tops, and dresses covered in rough-cut crystals and colorful beaded buttons. We're so excited for this over-the-top trend that we've curated a special shopping list of festooned pieces for you to snap up now. Click through to see them all now.
