It's official - sequins are back

Ever wonder where the sequin trend of 2009 went? The iconic looks created by the likes of Emma Watson, Katy Perry and Selena Gomez are now coming back.
Sequins have been traced all the way back to King Tut, and the "sequin-like discs" found on clothes in his tomb.
Originally made from gelatin, the sequins had a tendency to melt off your clothes if you became too hot.

However, Herbert Lieberman began to create acetate sequins after realising that gelatin sequins just weren't going to work.

In 1952, DuPont invented Mylar, and this was used as a coating to protect the sequins from the washing machine. 

Eventually the Mylar acetate was replaced with vinyl plastic, which was more cost effective.

And this was how the sequin that we all know and love (or hate, each to their own!) became the iconic statement piece worn by legends such as Michael Jackson.

London Fashion Week 2017 presented many bold looks, from the front rows at all the shows, to the infamous afterparties. Here are just some of the best picks.
Mabel Mcvey stole the show with some bedazzled boots.
