The Markus Lupfer Fall 2018 Ready-to-Wear collection is not only dominated by playful tasseled designs, tonal floral patterns and head-to-toe plaid, but it also sets forward an array of differently styled crystal accessories. From the bejeweled ankle straps on the fuzzy stiletto heels to linear collarbone-length earrings, the sparkle of the eye-catching details is evident.
However, the most alternative and unexpected use of the crystal accessories is the way they are incorporated into the hairstyles of the runway fashion models. As Vogue details, stylist Tina Outen "meticulously encrusted the middle-parted [hair] look with a stripe of diamanté crystals" that ran down the center.
While the presence of the crystal accessories and detailing is a powerful indicator of high status, the Fall 2018 Ready-to-Wear clothing line bears independently sophisticated and elegant city chic silhouettes.
