Iridescent fabrics turned up on the fall/winter 2018/19 runways in everything from shimmery ‘60s-style shimmy dresses at Balmain to trench coats and cross-shoulder bags at Sies Marjan. The look can go from mystical to sci-fi in ready-to-wear. In jewelry, it translates effortlessly into rainbow and blue moonstone. These gems have been popular since the Victorian era due to their “magical” effects and color, which change with the light.
