Karl Lagerfeld brooches: how to wear and what to combine with?

Jewelery and bijouterie

Following the theme of the past MET GALA, we examine in the smallest detail the scale of the personality of the great Karl Lagerfeld. From the latest observations - an absolutely masterful ability to combine a tremendous abundance of jewelry with the obligatory participation of brooches.

As evidence, we offer four eloquent examples that can be safely quoted or interpreted, arranging jewelry at your own discretion, for both men and women.

Lagerfeld's iconic look, completed and immortalized by the "emperor of the fashion industry" back in 2002, did not exist without snow-white hair in a ponytail, fingerless gloves, black sunglasses and an elegant tie. It was the last accessory that rarely went without precious additions. From the simplest - an accent brooch (most often these were Belperron products, of which Karl had an impressive collection), instantly attracting and tenaciously holding attention.

The next variation is with a slight complication. A brooch or a combination of several items is complemented by a pair of long chains (preferably made of silver) or classic beads in the spirit of CHANEL (possibly with pearls). The main thing is an ideally selected length and the absence of pronounced motifs that can conflict with each other and disrupt the overall harmony.

Not with beads and chains alone! Lagerfeld also experimented with rather bold combinations, wearing unusual medallions over a tie with a brooch. By the way, this not only looks quite refreshing, but also has a very beneficial effect on the quality of the reflection of individuality.
As a bonus, you can add emotionality to the image, and, if necessary, color (if you decide on the option with precious stones, colored details or enamel inserts).

Remember pendants! Karl chose them mainly from the Chrome Hearts brand (by the way, he also found massive rings there, which were extremely rare, but he wore them in several layers instead of gloves) and again combined them in an absolutely amazing way.
