# Slithery Snakelaces Fiona Paxton's Bib Necklace is a Simple Bold Fashion Statement By Tisah Tucknott | Published 2009-06-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiona-paxtons-bib-necklace References: [loudreams](http://www.loudreams.com/2009/06/10/fiona-paxton-bib-necklaces/) & [fiona-paxton](http://www.fiona-paxton.com/) Fiona Paxton’s Bib Necklace most certainly makes a statement that can leave people speechless. These [slithery creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpenti-line) remind me somewhat of a snake with its [shiny patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standout-essentials); nevertheless, the different designs are all still simplistically beautiful. Throw it on over some plain clothes and voilà, you have the perfect outfit! **Implications** - The release of [statement necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot) such as Fiona Paxton's Bib necklace signifies a shift in what fashionistas find sexy. The neck is a once underestimated part of the human anatomy that is slowly becoming a fashion focal point due to a demand for less sexuality, and more elegance. This does not only effect the fashion industry, but the perception of sensuality as a whole. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Statement Necklaces:** The rise of statement necklaces like Fiona Paxton's Bib Necklace is disrupting traditional notions of sexiness in the fashion industry by emphasizing elegance over overt sexuality. - **Fashion Focal Points:** The increasing attention given to the neck as a fashion focal point presents opportunities for innovative designs and accessories that highlight this once underestimated area of the human anatomy. - **Shifting Perceptions of Sensuality:** The popularity of necklaces that exude elegance rather than raw sexuality reflects a broader societal shift towards redefining sensuality, impacting industries beyond fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of statement necklaces by designing and producing elegant and attention-grabbing accessories that emphasize the neck as a focal point. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can explore innovative designs and materials to create statement necklaces and other products that enhance the neck as a stylish and elegant feature. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The beauty and cosmetics industry can develop new makeup and skincare products targeting the neck area, catering to the growing demand for elegant and well-maintained necks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Ancient Coin-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talisman-collection.md) - [Romantic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-heart-love-link-necklace.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Fashion Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvia-toledano.md) - [LNY-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwoods-lunar-new-year.md) - [Elegantly Timeless Jewelry Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standout-essentials.md) - [Iconic Jewelry Cuff Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elsa-peretti1.md) - [Tarnish-Resistant Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-cos-winter-edit.md)
