66 Melodramatic Collar Creations

From Wonderland Neckwear to Feathered Chokers

— June 11, 2012 — Fashion
High fashion is about having wild statement pieces and the flashy-frock-steeped renaissance period is grounds for inspiration for melodramatic collar creations of this age. Frequenting catwalks, editorials photoshoots and everyday neck-gear, collars are not just a boring business piece.

Our technology is continuously propelled forward, but our fashion choices see regular blasts from the past -- how does that work? Well, we always manage to find new ways to tweak a concept of days passed, like converting the conventional ruffled collar into a futuristic geometric wire men's neckpiece. A running trend amongst collar renovation is changing the round shape to one that is more geometric. Sharp angles and mismatching layers transform a classic look into one more like what's predicted in 'The Hunger Games.'

Following the same logic, perhaps the oh-so-popular circle scarf of last winter will be remixed next season -- square scarves, anyone?
