Pearls and Beads Make the Rounds for Fall

April 6, 2009  10:06 am

Karl Lagerfeld may have swapped Chanel’s traditional pearls for jade this season, but the lustrous gem showed up on plenty of other runways. Pearls were outsized at Moschino Cheap & Chic, strung onto ribbon at 3.1 Phillip Lim, and embroidered and buried in tulle at Comme des Garçons. Hidden treasures also popped up at Givenchy, where Riccardo Tisci hung strands of fabric-encased beads from draped tops, and at Sinha-Stanic, where twinkly buttons were applied to rock-chick dresses after the style of the Cockney Pearlies. At Louis Vuitton, meanwhile, ankle-strap party shoes featured pearl-pierced hourglass-shaped heels. Click for a slideshow, then tell us if you’ve taken a shine to this trend. Tell us below.

  1. I love that designers are not opting for the usual pearl necklace, headpiece ect. But instead their going or something a little more subtle and demure, such as the shoe at Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana, or the hidden pearls in the Givenchy clothing and the Lanvin necklaces. It’s all so beautifully feminine.

  3. Lanvin’s African inspired chocker manages to capture the restrictiveness of the real thing, while still being enticingly beautiful! I love the hidden simplicity of Phillip Lim. From a distance they don’t look like pearls at all! It gives them new breathe. But Sinha-Stanic’s is my favorite! Perhaps it speaks to my affinity for youth rebellion and sub-cultures, but that dress has undeniable energy!

  6. Ohhhh, the Sinha-Stanic dress is so beautiful. I love it!

  7. The juxtaposition of gum drop pearls within a tribal chocker is inspiring. I love it when designers marry visual themes while maintaining their original potency.

  8. Those Dolce & Gabbana shoes are fabulously cheeky! I love how they are quite kitsch, a bit silly but at the same time ooze luxuriousness. The Comme des Garcons is similarly farcical with ultimate effect… It’s about time someone reinvented the pearl!

  9. I love the hidden pearls, they lend a sense of fantasy and bit of mystery to look. Wonderful.
