The luxe tribal neckware from the Lanvin FW10 collection fuses primitive motifs with fine jewelry craftmanship, reinvigorating a tired cliche.
Juxtaposing shiny talons with feathers, fringe, chunky wooden details, multiple neck cuffs and chunky silver chains, looks from the Lanvin FW10 collection recall the archaic pagan sensibilities of Pacific and African jewelry.
The jewelry provides the perfect complement to Alber Elbaz's Fall Winter 2010-11 collection, which includes luxuriously draped togas, lace tops and diagonally pleated dresses.
