Whether sprinkled with diamonds in chandelier formations, or conjured in artistic enamel, the statement earring took full force on the SS15 runways. Leading the way was Nicolas Ghesquière's futuristic versions for Louis Vuitton shaped from clear, oval perspex and enamel. Marni's familiar abstract approach transported the simple earring in graphic, blossom-like shapes. Maintaining a classic approach was the Oscar de la Renta's Upper East Side beauty, dressed in crystallised chandelier versions.
