From intricate jacquard to pretty paisley, versatile motifs are giving off an urban, tribal vibe in summer collections from Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana and more

Patterns like jacquard or brocade are no longer the sole preserve of winter jackets and coats. Designers from Dolce & Gabbana to Dries Van Noten have given the element a lighter life and transformed it into a prevalent new style for spring/summer 2020.

Celebrities such as Maluma and Cate Blanchett have embraced the new summer motifs, which exude a tribal vibe for evening wear.

Morocco, whose cities such as Chefchaouen are known for their Instagram-friendly blue streets and alleyways, stunning deserts, striking architecture and intricate patterns, was also home to legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent and an inspiration for Saint Laurent’s creative director Anthony Vaccarello. W e took models Chris and Bianca to the exotic North African country to show how best to display the stylish designs.
