The DKNY Women’s Spring 2014 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2014 on September 8, 2013 in New York City had a new trend in store for us. The extremely colourful and eclectic use of badges on jeans caught our eye. As per dictionary definition, badges are small pieces of metal or cloth or plastic bearing a design or words. A range of badges, patchwork, emblems, epaulette, alphabets and cartoons were seen. The look was very casual and relaxed yet trendy and chic. The fashionista amongst ya’ll can definitely try this look and turn some heads!
