Kristin Hanson & Young&ng featured in ELLE Vietnam’s August 2012 issue
We love ELLE, and we love keeping up with international fashion! Our fashion and accessories PR team was thrilled to see that in the August 2012 issue of ELLE’s Vietnam edition both Kristin Hanson AND Young&ng were featured thanks to fabulous stylings of Emily Bess. This stunning photo-shoot spotlighted the Kristin Hanson purple starfish ring and Young&ng cuff in a peaceful atmosphere, very “garden of roses”.
High street stores are hot on the tails of this trend as you can see by the similarly styled chunky gold coloured bracelet pictured in the bottom image, retailing at only £12. If you look closely, the ripple effect of this particularly trend is already clearly visible with many people in the public eye opting for large chain necklaces and watches fromthe Lido Watch Club.
If bold pieces aren’t for you, why not try layering with a series of finer chains to achieve a more casual look.
Vintage
The term ‘Vintage’ is used frequently and can encompass a wide and eclectic mix of styles and motifs. In this instance, it refers to pieces which have an antique, heirloom quality to them. Things that you might expect to find in your mum or Grandmas jewellery box! Fashion Week saw designers pulling jewellery classics from the archives and mixing them together to create a melee of texture and colour. Think lockets, cameos, oversized coloured gems and classic signet rings and you won’t go far wrong.

This sort of look is easy to replicate regardless of budget. Why not try upcycling or recycling previously unwanted items? Charity shops make a rich hunting ground for all manner of interesting and unique objects such as these and won’t cost the earth……literally.
Hoops
Now, we are not talking your average, day to day hoops here. No. We are talking, bold, oversized and often irregular and not for the shy and retiring amongst us! Like much of the jewellery on show during fashion week, these hoops are statement pieces, head turners and talking points.
