What is the Modern Wanderer trend?
Modern Wanderer: The image of the gypsy is associated with enchantment, mystery and allure, all of which designers are translating into contemporary couture. Creating looks based on luxe, printed headscarves, chunky gold jewelry and full, floor-sweeping skirts, designers are providing the modern fashion consumer with the chance to feel like a beautiful, free-spirited wanderer -- a welcome divergence from the more corporate and clean-cut aesthetic dictating today's attire.
