From the bejeweled ankle straps on the fuzzy stiletto heels to [linear collarbone-length earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-loop), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) 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.
