Everything Embroidered

Topshop Limited Edition Wrap Skirt
Claire Knebl

For her wedding Angelina Jolie wore a custom Atelier Versace couture gown embroidered with her children's doodles. And with that, embroidery begins to trend...

  1. Topshop Limited Edition Wrap Skirt: The embroidery on this multi-layer skirt looks home-sewn, in a great way. To counter the high-contrast pattern, try it with a white button-down.

  2. Altuzarra for Target Embroidered Blouse: Ah, the peasant blouse: a controversial topic. Altuzarra’s version for Target gets it right with plenty of detail work and sleeves that aren't too long or puffy.

  3. Zara Embroidered Dress: This dress takes the easiness of a nightgown and makes it work for all hours—no jewelry necessary thanks to a streamlined mesh neckline.

  4. Carven Sweatshirt: French humor a la Jolie-Pitt doppelgänger sketches (a falling unicorn, for instance) is scribbled all over this crew neck. All the whimsy, but built for day-to-day wear.

  5. Nicholas Kirkwood Embroidered Patent-Leather Pumps: These pointed pumps are the Maserati of needlework; they’re made in Italy with micro-embroidery that channels Mexican tradition, and a sexy patent heel for good measure.
