At Paris Couture Week, Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis Was All About the Accessories Inline

"But I trust my friends," she said, smiling. Here, I’m piling them on myself.

Photo: Courtesy of Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis12/17I absolutely adored the netted beanies worn with the Chanel classic tweed costume. Yes, we have seen it before, but we never get tired of it.
Photo: Courtesy of Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis13/17One of my favorite pieces from the show was this hooded flower piece, absolutely mesmerizing. I imagine hiding under it this summer in the wee hours of a great wedding.

Photo: Courtesy of Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis15/17At Armani Privé, the accessories were kept almost uniformly slightly sci-fi! Tube-like or square resin cases and bangles in all sizes came in a hypnotizing deep blue. Loved it!
Photo: Courtesy of Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis16/17At a Mytheresa cocktail for JJ Martin, we were spoiled by her first capsule collectsion of vintage pieces made exclusively for the site. The designer is wearing a big Ugo Correani piece; I chose a Gianni Versace remake.

Always the original, she arrived at Lauren Santo Domingo's house wearing a Fendi jacket and pants paired with a latex bra from House of Harlow. (And she promised to take me there.)
