Big Chains for Fall

After reading a New York Times article about how popular neck wear has been in these hot summer days I decided to do a little more research on big necklaces. To prove my theory right, here are a few designers that included statement necklaces on the runway for fall 2008.

The Originators

Givenchy is my absolute favorite. We'll talk more about this fantastic collection later
Vera Wang is now doing her thing with her new jewelery collection
3.1 Phillip Lim
Yves Saint Laurent - this is the most knocked off necklace of them all. note the Marc Jacobs and Girl Props version.

Spotted in Bushwick

The Ombre Trend

Ombre

n. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp.

It all started with the Prada patent leather ombre bag. The original, which retailed at $2,270, is no longer available in NeimanMarcus. I was very hesitant about this trend at first because it’s very reminiscent of tie-dye. While I can pull off a cute peasant blouse, the hippie/circa 60’s & 70’s is a look that I despise. …I digress. I watched this trend grow and grow and now you can even get the look at Target. While ombre isn’t for me, I found a few styles you can try for fall.
