Necklace layering… by top designers of SSNYFW17..

On the runway at the most recent New York fashion week we saw the trend of necklace layering in stacks used by some of the top designers and their brands, the likes of; Maison Margiela, Chanel, Mui Mui, Valentino and Etro just to name a few.

Necklace layering has been used throughout seasonal trends and for SS17 we will see it return to it’s vintage parisian form. With the use of pearls, chains mixed, and perfectly suited with denim, basic tees and sweats to elevate a fashion look into street style.

Designers featured above from SSNYFW17 are, Maison Margiela, Chanel, Mui Mui, Moschino, Valentino, Etro use the trend perfectly which enable anyone to translate the look quite effortlessly.

This seasonal trend is a must-have and a requirement for any collection. The look suits the everyday woman wanting to elevate their style in the most simplest fashion.

The Jewellery Edit: Dior Fine Jewellery 2014.. Extravagance on an entirely different level…

Cher Fine Jewellery.. Dior 2014…

I’m envious of the jewellery designers who are employed at big name companies such as Chanel and Dior, who get to design with seemingly limitless budgets. Previously on this blog we’ve shown some of the work of Chanel, and now we are featuring some of Dior’s fine Jewellery.

When it comes to these pieces, it seems that all levels of practicality have just been thrown out the door. There isn’t one diamond, there’s a billion, and they aren’t just one shade, but an entire spectrum of colour and flamboyance. How are you supposed to walk around in the real world with a million carats hanging from your ears? It’d be lighter just to use real carrots!

But it’s the flamboyance that we love. This design is so multi faceted that I first had to double check to make sure these designs aren’t just plastic imitations. The accuracy that would go into the crafting of these items is simply mind boggling.

Grab some herbal tea, a biscuit or two, and just flick through these pictures of pure grandeur.

The Jewellery Edit: Chanel High Jewellery.. 80 Years of Chanel…

Comete.. Chanel 2013…

Chanel Fine Jewellery is one of the closest things fashion has to art. A great piece of art isn’t just something that looks good to the eye, it has to be thought provoking, emotive and the execution of the initial designs need to be perfectly accurate. Even though I haven’t seen the original designs, I feel I can draw the conclusion that these pieces from Chanel have been crafted with great precision.

The detail and creativity in these pieces are something to be celebrated. I’d strongly advise you take your own time to filter through all of the photos from this collection. The layout on the Chanel website allows the jewellery to shine and adds to the grandeur of the Chanel label. I found some of the Gabrielle Chanel quotes to be a little tacky, but after the worldwide success Chanel has enjoyed, I suppose they are allowed to toot their own horn a little.

The different sections that make up the 80th Anniversary Chanel High Jewellery collection are titled: Comete, Soleil, Ruban, Franges and Constellation du Lion. Furthermore, each section then contains its own pieces inside, so there is plenty for you to look at. My Favourite would be the Comete.
