Alber Elbaz designs simple, feminine and sometimes ethereal dresses for the 101-year-old high fashion label, Lanvin. However, as beautiful as an outfit may be, it is often only made complete by the perfect jewelry. To complete the Spring/Summer 2010 Lanvin look, Elbaz finished his creations with a touch of the animal kingdom. You can build your own Lanvin-inspired look with the many critters to be had on Max & Chloe.
Go wild in your favorite new diaphanous spring dress or a simple jeans and t-shirt outfit with enamel and gold bangles and rings from Blu Bijoux and Kenneth Jay Lane, respectively.
Though wearing a large, bejeweled cougar wrapped around your neck may not be a practical look for the office or classroom, the Lanvin look can be easily evoked by adding the sparkling Blu Bijoux Black Cougar Bangle amidst a heap of bangles, having the green Austrian crystal eyes peaking between gilded slats.
If you’d rather channel the animal kingdom in a simpler way, the Kenneth Jay Lane Elephant Ring will awaken the animal instincts with the coral-colored bead sitting atop the serene black enamel elephant heads— there’s a matching magnifying glass necklace too!
Whether bold or simple, these untamed and unforgettable pieces are the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.
