Gems and jewels. It’s all the rage right now. When once it was gaudy, it’s now just ‘gorgeous’. When once it was ostentatious, it’s now simply ‘opulent’. And when once it was over the top, it’s now ‘on fleek’. More is more and there’s no time to be polite or modest with your embellishments. This year, the louder you shout, the bigger the applause and the bigger your gemstones, the bigger your street cred.
Perhaps it was Dolce & Gabbana who started this trend with their Baroque movement in 2012 – a striking contrast to their simple, elegant, all-white catwalk of 2011 – adding more and more drama with every season ever since. Whichever brand it was that started this incredible trend, it’s become something of a style Renaissance, giving sunglasses centre stage.
