The Butterfly is appearing everywhere – McQueen, Valentino and here – with this stunning silk jacquard skirt by the New York label Tome that you just want to touch and treasure.  I love the way it’s been styled with the long gloves against the short, loose v-necked cashmere jumper.

Freedom, innocence, peace, good luck, nature, femininity…the butterfly is a powerful symbol throughout  the world.

But there’s also it’s fragile beauty and delicate symmetry. No wonder we humans are obsessed with capturing it’s heart and soul, if only in an ethereal Cinemagraph.  This butterfly was let lose after it’s photoshoot, into the wilds of Manhattan because true beauty should only be admired….
