Shells are the oldest decoration created by nature itself. Many thousands of years ago, ancient people decorated themselves with shells and even used them as money. Therefore, it is strange to call shells a new fashion trend, they were on planet Earth long before the advent of our civilization and man in general.
Today, the jewelry industry uses precious metals and a variety of stones, but shells do not lose their relevance, they go well with gold and silver. Most importantly, shell jewelry pairs perfectly with cute summer looks. Therefore, in every warm season, designers offer jewelry with these beautiful creations of nature.

Designers with the help of pleating and a special cut give the outfits shapes reminiscent of marine life. Look at the collections of Gucci, Balmain, Valentino, there are very interesting examples there.

The fashion trend for dresses and blouses in the form of shells originates in antiquity, but the modern development is obtained at the expense of other trends. In recent seasons, designers have been actively using the heritage of the Art Nouveau style to create an original sleeve shape. The shell sleeve is an interesting fusion and development of these fashion trends.
In addition to the unusual sleeve, another trend contributes to the appearance of such unusual volumetric forms - the oversized style. Many do not like this style or are already tired of it, but so far the oversize does not completely go away, but develops and takes on new forms.
