Sequins are such an emotive embellishment – their appearance always makes me feel more festive. They’re like a chic little flash-mob that once gathered together, imparts a sense of sparkly joy.

They were the star of Saint Laurent’s most recent Spring 14 collection, that had a distinct Debbie-Harry-meets-Michelle-Pfeiffer-in-Scarface feel I like to call ‘rocktail’. My favourite piece saw these magical paillettes transformed into a red and black tiger striped shift dress (pictured).

Feeling like you need more sequins in their life?
