Who doesn't love a touch a sparkle and shimmer?

Metallic fabrics, shimmering beads and bright crystals have been used in fashion since people started using fashion to indicate wealth and status.

Gold, silver and bronzes all ooze and instant elegance and richness which fashion designers have utilised to their full potential.
