January 28, 2009 9:37 pm
Somewhere Nancy Cunard, the rebellious Jazz Age heiress famous for wearing armfuls of African bracelets, is smiling. “Bangles are making a comeback,” stylist Edward Enninful, who used them at Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s Spring show for Malo, told us. “The clothes were so urban, clean, and refined, we decided to pile bracelets on to give the collection a tribal edge.” Wilder still were the ornate leopard versions at Louis Vuitton, while pieced glass numbers added Arabian Nights sparkle to the Moorish lineup at 3.1 Phillip Lim. In her Christian Lacroix Couture review, Style.com’s Sarah Mower cited “chichi soubrettes, Belle Époque madames, [and] southern Mediterranean exotics” as inspirations, but the show’s colorful bangles are giving us Carmen Miranda. One thing’s for certain: These days accessorizing is all in the wrist. Click for a slideshow, then let us know if you’ll be adopting this trend.

Excellent! I love my bangles, and it’s nice to know that they’ll be easy to buy since they are still on trend.

I didn’t think they’d ever been away…
By chloehandbags on 01/29/09 at 1:58 amOne of the most wonderful things about fashion is that it’s repeating itself, so also the bangles or whatever jewelry will come back. Even the style of the thirties, also depression and recession time wil once again play a big role in the industry. It’s only up to the designers to make a modern design of all the old stuff, and I’m sure people will buy it again.

By cheweetina on 01/30/09 at 5:39 pmI don’t wanna repeat myself, but as you say cheweetina and I did in a previous comment, yes fashion is repeating itself, okay with some newer or different details but the basics are still there. Fashion is made by the people who wear a piece of Lauren, Karan or Marc Jacobs mixed with an very simple T-shirt, jacket or whatever from any ‘cheap’ fashion or retailer store. Streetstyle is important not Haute Couture, which is only available for the rich. The average (fashion) girl in the streets of whatever city on this planet knows how to dress themself and a few are the real trendsetters, looking for a new fashion adventure and in my opinion looking for something that has be done years ago but decide that it’s time the style of a certain period have to come back, because they feel comfortable in it. The idea of a collection of any designer is always inspired by what he/she sees on the street in whatever country. So the costumers or clients wear what they actually self explored with their choice of wearing this or that piece of clothes. With bangles it’s the same, some hate them and some love it. If you feel yourself happy and confident with the clothes or jewelry or bangles I would say wear it and don’t let others influence your choice of style. Every person is unique, and in fashion that’s the main word. Arriverderci
By Valerio on 01/31/09 at 3:23 pmI love my bangles… I never knew they went out of style.
By FSHNDVA25 on 02/1/09 at 12:46 pmI love bangles and cuffs and wearing several together. When I found a scarf on this site http://www.orijyn.com I also bought one of their bangles-kind of an investment piece but I can wear it with everything. I’ve been drooling over their jewelry.
