Marni s/s16
Chandelier Earrings
This season, designers got creative with dramatic earrings, presenting an array of avant garde jewelled pieces including Salvatore Ferragamo’s unique earrings with a single pearl on a chain; whilst the Céline show presented purposefully mismatched graphic earrings.
Emporio Armani s/s16
Chokers
The Nineties’ trend has been popping up on the spring/summer runways, transforming the once grungy accessory into a coveted piece of jewellery. Christian Dior had us all choked up, setting the pace with fabric chokers that were seen wrapped around the necks of their models. Anya Hindmarch used soft silk scarfs, while Elie Saab showed off a minimalistic style with polished metal as the material of choice.
Balmain s/s16
Tiaras
From Saint Laurent’s Diamante tiaras, Chanel’s preppy metallic headbands to Dolce&Gabbana’s solid gold floral crowns; the decorative headgear when worn over loose or low tied hair, elevates even the most simple of outfits.
Dolce&Gabbana s/s16
Body Harness
The contraptions in the form of chain linked body harnesses have been upgraded this season at McQueen with heavy armour-like metallic intricacies; while Calvin Klein took the minimalist approach towards thread-like body chains.
Alexander McQueen s/s16
