None of us will ever forget the iconic shiny dress, the one worn by the most pop it girl of all time Paris Hilton – on the occasion of her 21st birthday in 2002. That very dress is now considered one of the most famous in the history of costume of the 2000s.

The endless fascination with shimmering dresses was also fuelled by many successful fashion houses. Of all of them, we remember the avant-garde sequins featured in Paco Rabanne’s collections during the 1960s. Today, however, this type of dress, and that particular sparkling effect, are experiencing a real renaissance among models and Gen Z. Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Miley Cyrus, but not only, fashion brands also continue to reintroduce this trend. Everything seems to be summed up in one key word: glitter. No matter how much fashion evolves, this certainly Y2K trend always remains a staple. From Ermanno Scervino to Valentino and Alexandre Vauthier, many are the maisons that have thought of proposing – for their Spring Summer collections – clothes and accessories that can also tell this trend in 2022.

Absolutely, sequins are one of the symbols of this trend. Many people believe that these glittery dresses should only be intended for glamorous situations. Instead, the trend is to wear sequins, crystals and shimmering details not only for occasionally elegant evenings and events. You just need to understand how to make a crystal-studded dress cool and young without looking like a disco ball.
OK, everybody, listen up, the secret is to shine unconditionally with sparkling fringes, sequins, appliqués and metallic fabrics.
