KTZ S/S 11 Byzantine crown Chanel Pre Fall 2011

Chanel's Pre Fall 2011 collection calls on ancient Byzantine references for a truly inspiring take on costume

jewelry and hair accessories. Yellow gold, colored stone cabochons, clusters of natural geodes, and

pierced metals are materials and details that were popular during this period. Reticulated collars and bejeweled

cuffs in this ornate style are the next evolution of modernist metal cuffs and torques. Ornate crowns, head bands

and hair accessories are also prominent pieces, confirming the heritage look and the influence of the ancient

world for S/S 11.
