It all started some time last year. Slowly, at first, a red ribbon perched above a ponytail, or a pink bow on a Christmas tree. Then, suddenly, it was everywhere. Pets, bottles, candles, and even the humble pickle were all adorned with a flourish. It was coquette-core, and it was taking over the world. And it's set to be this Christmas' number one table setting trend.
Now, one year on, the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Just take a look at your local high street if you don't believe me, holiday bows are the go-to embellishment for all of this season's best party dresses. And it's not just in the shops, it's on the screens too. Or, at least, it will be soon. If the trailer for the coming year's most hotly anticipated movie is anything to go off. That's right, ribbons appear to feature heavily in Emerald Fennell's upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation, with lingering shots of ruby red bows blowing in the wind.
