Harlequin patterns are the dernier cris. Early 2023 showed handbags with harlequinade motifs in virtually every international fashion brand's offerings. The Versace Virtus bag collection features quilting in Harlequin's distinctive elongated diamond shape on fur or leather.
I have been wondering why this influence is appearing again now. Could one reason be in the diamond shapes? Much like hexagons, triangles and diamonds are meaningful geometric forms that make up nicely into patterns, merging intelligence with aesthetics. And since any Diva worth the title is as smart as she is beautiful, dear reader, I bring this to your attention.
