Top 10 Trends & Must-Haves for Spring #2: Tribal Beat

dancin' to the beat of the tribal vibe: Diane Von Furstenberg, Balmain, Matthew Williamson, Etro & Oscar de la Renta

Oscar de la Renta, in particular, incorporated traditional tribal fabrics and patterns in way that the most city-dwelling fashionistas have been lusting after.  The trick to rocking this bold version of the season's popular prints is to keep the accessories earthy but eyecatching - try wooden jewelry and tough leather bags & footwear.
