TREND: TRIBAL PRINTS

Want to take a walk on the wild side? Get decked out in African-inspired prints (as seen on Paris Hilton, left, in Diane von Furstenberg, and Nicole Richie). "The idea is a tribal-inspired pattern but made in a modern, more sexy way," says Kaufman. "A lot of the pieces have conch shells or pukka shells put into the fabric. It's the mix of the print with the detail of the embellishment added into it."
