Vogue's Accessories Guide for Fall 2014

Edited by Rickie De Sole

Fall 2014 was all about the novel accessory. From unexpected fur trims to eye-popping floral necklines to the seductive power of a single, mesmerizing piece of jewelry, these were the offerings that took front and center over the once-ubiquitous handbag. In a season of limitless look-changers, such a range of options may leave you wondering what to choose, but the brilliant part? You don’t have to pick just one.

    Spring’s take on botanicals was oversize, untrimmed (that is to say, wild), and vaguely nostalgic. Fall’s florals, however, are sprouting up as decidedly more contemporary and noticeably more kept. From **Phoebe Philo’**s proposed corsage abstractions to Fendi styling models with freshly cut orchid brooches, designers placed singular blooms and bunches—and many in 3-D—front and center.

    The reprieve from teetering heels continues, and the idea is taken up a notch by a spate of flat boots entering the mix for fall. When paired with a ladylike dress or skirt, they provide an instant, insouciant cool factor and, seeing as they come in all varieties—from mod to utilitarian to divine (we are talking to you, Saint Laurent glitter boots)—there is no dearth of options from which to choose.

    Whether it was lining boots or adorning gloves, fur trimmings showed up everywhere during the fall collectsions—as luxurious stoles at Marni and Lanvin, huge hoods at Fendi, and around the neck at Tod’s. If you need one transitional update for fall, may we suggest a touch of fur?

    The singular, eye-catching earrings at Céline and Louis Vuitton combined with the oversize, one-but-looks-like-many statement rings at Nina Ricci and Proenza Schouler got us all thinking: Is this the season where—jewelry-wise—a single amazing piece is finally enough?

    While great gloves dominated the collectsions, no two offerings were alike. Our favorites included embellished versions at Lanvin, Rochas, and Dolce & Gabbana, transparent at Givenchy and brightly, bi-colored numbers from Balenciaga and Dior. They were ladylike—with a lot of edge.

    There was an abundance of richly embellished pieces with feathers, beading, and intricate embroidery making an appearance across every category. Everything from the bags at Dries Van Noten, to the crystal necklaces at Givenchy to the amazing metal hand that thrilled at Alexander McQueen reminded us that while the big picture is important, what is vital often lies in the details.

    Are scarves the new statement necklace? By the look of things—including floral options from Burberry Prorsum, knit numbers from Marc Jacobs, and and the skinny menswear-like offering from Prada, the utilitarian item is poised to replace the necklace as the easiest way to change up your wardrobe with a single, eye-catching piece.
