Statement Earrings and the Art of Ear Stacking

Why Big, Bold, and Bright Won 2023

The Rosette Renaissance

A single fabric flower pinned at the throat felt romantic yet decisive. Designers revived rosettes across satin chokers and blazer lapels. Did you try one in crimson or blush? Comment your favorite placement for maximum poetic impact.

Bows with Bite
