Fashion trends may not be forever, but the memory of a good gift is! Keep mom young and trendy with the newest Spring/Summer 2018 collection from Aquazzura which draws inspirations from India and the iconic decade of the 90s. After creative director Edgardo Osorio fell in love with Rajasthan on a recent trip, shades of the North Indian province began appearing in his collections.
