    street-style-1London and Paris are known for their youthful approach to fashion, so it comes as no surprise that for fall, designers played with light-hearted embellishments – ranging from fruit-motif badges to pretty floral appliqués that reminded us of the novelty print trend surfacing in the past seasons.

    street-style

    Alexander Lewis used patchwork embellishments over a sheer base to make them stand out and be noticed as the star of the ensemble while Anya HIndmarch decorated a knee-length coat with pixelated embellishments that ranged from cherries to jelly fish.

    Runway

    Another designer in close proximity to the jelly fish element was House of Holland which incorporated jelly fish that were big, filled with colour and on positioned on either sides of black dresses.

    Even Paul Smith used a black base for his half-eaten apples while Emilia Wickstead went for a fully covered short dress.
