The [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) [Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-poem) August 2014 Opium Du Style editorial provides an excessively bejeweled look at model Imaan Hammam. In each shot taken by photographer Lachlan Bailey, Hamman is pictured sprawled out while sporting an enticing mixture of [gems, bangles and oversize beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment).

Stylist Geraldine Saglio opted to put together this collection of in your face jewelry. Although the pieces are each mixed into one another seamlessly, Saglio somehow ensured that they all stood out in unusual ways. Cuts of bright blue and deep orange added unusual hues, capturing the eyes of readers as they prepare for the end of summer.

Given the bold nature of the adornments, Bailey stuck to the basics. Hamman posed effortlessly, either lounging on an opulent bed or sitting slightly upright.
