Perfecting the patchwork trend

We have love the patchwork trend ever since designer, Derek Lam showed us perfectly stitched-together squares of suede and leather in one of his most recent collections. 

Want to try this '70s-inspired trend for yourself?

Here local fashion girl, Amy Scheepers shows us just how far a suede, A-line, patchwork skirt can take you this winter.

The look:

TOPSHOP skirt | MISSGUIDED crop | SUNGLASS HUT Miu Miu sunglasses | ZARA boots

It's all in the styling, really.

Try to pair patchwork with a piece with basic, modern lines, juxtaposing the vintage, '70s feel associated with patchwork.

This black, bell-sleeved crop still has a nice edge without over-complicating the outfit.
