ACCESSORIES.......... Innovation..

    I had meant to post this closer to the show but it's just as well that I waited, as an interview with Margherita Missoni has popped up which actually answers a few of my queries about the stonkingly cool jewellery she designed for the first time for Missoni's A/W 10-11 collection (she's in charge of all accessories now - bags, sunnies and jewellery).  She basically echoes my initial thoughts about the jewellery which cleverly weighted down the highland fling-type knits...
    "We wanted something modern, smooth, chromed, shiny and a little bit futuristic for the jewels, the shoe stirrups and the sunglass lenses, since the basic idea was trying to create a contrast with the raw and rough materials incorporated in the designs. The collection includes quite a few rather heavy materials and natural colours and to avoid that such designs could become a little bit too ethnic or folkish and that the African and Scottish inspirations became too literal, we opted for metal jewellery."
    Beauty aside, I also wanted to point out a more practical point for my blog readers, though is that ridden me....not liking metal jewelry at all, me is a happy bunny indeed to see metal cuff bracelets and necklaces using knitted collars and thick sweaters to act as a barrier between skin and tingly metal and thus avoiding pustular rashes.its perfect adaptation of fashion....... very subtle, very practical and very cool...... what can we say about it........ MISSONI's.
