Make a Statement

10Aug08

Statement jewelry & shoes were seriously all over the F/W 08.09 runways. Lanvin’s chunky mirror necklaces, jeweled cuffs, pearls & gold booties totally won me over. Balenciaga’s jewels were more sophisticated–– think leafy pearl and rhinestone pieces, gemstone-laden necklaces.

Alexander McQueen had lavishly decorated headpieces and jewelry––with egg shaped bags and British flag emblazoned clutches––that were totally over-the-top, but didn’t overpower the clothes. Givenchy had gold chain necklaces with crosses and other trinkets all over them. Louis Vuitton showed crazy wedge-heels and interesting headpieces. Last but not least, Marni had statement bracelets covered.

I’m really inspired by all the statement pieces, and I’m definitely going to try to incorporate more statements in my wardrobe this fall. How will you be dressing during the fall & winter?

    i just stumbled across your blog — and i love it! it seems we both share a love of knee highs and a fierce dislike of the summer :D
    i adored pretty much all of the givency F/W line, and those big ol’ statement necklaces were a stroke of genius, i thought.
    i’ll be adding you to my blogroll (:

    I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye out for a Lanvin-inspired statement necklace. But actually what I reeeeally want at the mo is a pair of Nicholas Kirkwoods – he makes some amaaaaazing statement shoes… *sigh* A girl can dream.
