Apiece Apart‘s fall collection is proof that simple shapes and impeccable tailoring is sometimes all you need to look effortlessly chic. Just about every look embodies head-to-toe sophistication, from the sizable hats to the hue on hue wardrobe staples to the classic d’orsay flats. Honestly, want it all.
This season Dries Van Noten sent nine of his models down the runway with ears encrusted with irregularly shaped pieces of crystals. Make up artist Peter Philips adhered the crystals with glue and placed each and every one by hand with tweezers, making a makeshift earcuff. The idea came from the big necklaces and larger than life brooches from the show. I want to try a smaller version myself and wonder if my favorite double sided tape will do the trick?

Kelly Wearstler is wooing us yet again with another opulent collection of jewels. We love the combination of bold industrial components like screws and bolts with natural elements like shells and stones – as if each bauble came out of a futuristic Cabinet of Natural Curiosities!
Working primarily with calligraphy ink and liquids like tea, brandy and whisky, Carne Griffiths draws both human and floral forms in the most unique and abstract way. “Alcohol has a curious effect on ink, taking the colour deep into the paper very quickly – it behaves very differently to water and gives permanence to some inks” explains Carne.
