PFW: Alber Elbaz Piles On The Necklaces For Lanvin Autumn/Winter 2013

One of the reasons Lois and I often frown on the  stereotypical representation of the Bon qui qui’s of the world is that they tend to inspire fashion, not just what we see on the streets, but high end fashion. Of course the piling on of jewellery as we see in this Lanvin show can be traced as far back to the Romans, kings and queens of the Middle East,  Africa, Asia etc. However to bring this little expose of  closer  to this century I can also site Mr.T , Run DMC , most rappers of the 80s’s and 90’s, and most recently Trinidad James in his ‘All Gold Everything’ video . Honorable mention also goes to the incomparable Iris Apfel (She rocks). Needless to say as an accessories fiend I want every single chain assortment in the show.
