37 Ribbons and Bows

Festive Ways to Dress Up Everything from an Outfit to a Building

— January 13, 2010 — Fashion
Ribbons and bows add playfulness to anything previously thought ordinary. Flat hair can be spruced up with a bright big bow, and otherwise boring architecture can be made modern with ribbons of steel. The influence of these 40 ribbons and bows on their respective industries is really quite astounding. Check out all that's possible with ribbons and bows.

Implications - Ribbons and bows are no longer only seen on small children anymore. The ever-changing fashion world has opened its arms to bows and ribbons and accepted them as stylish staples. Businesses can use these decorative pieces not only on clothing, but also to catch the eye of consumers. Bows are often associated with gifts and everyone likes getting a present!
