BOWS.

I've always loved bows, from the early days of toddling down the rows in Spotlight touching each one, lingering on the grograin, velvet and satin. 

And although other childish fancies have been shed such as Chips the teddy (alas), this pleasure has stood the test of time.

So it is with delight that I have noticed a growing increase in the acceptance of bows past the age of four.

Above are some of the best culprits over the past few years, taken from a selection of Luella, Jean Paul Gaultier, Valentino and Christian Lacroix shows; enjoy.
