Paris Fashion Week: Accessories round-up

From the tiny little gold studs and detachable coat collar-necklaces in Perspex and metal, at Chloé ; the "lei" necklaces in beads, shells and feathers at Dior ; the confections of feathers, gold and lace which clasped the models' ponytails (don't dare call them scrunchies!), and the metal-filigree booties and gloves at Chanel ; to the vast gold, tribal hoops and disc chokers at Yves Saint Laurent ; the clumpy, multicoloured "ski boot" sandals at Balenciaga ; the leopard-print wedges at Lanvin ; the copper lace-ups at Vivienne Westwood ; and The Row's "Turkish"-look, alligator slipper-shoes by Manolo Blahnik - the Paris prêt-à-porter designers are in the mood for standout accessories.

Sarah Burton, in her first collection as creative director for the Alexander McQueen label, continued his legacy of exquisite, handcrafted detail, with gold toecap hobnail boots, raffia anklet-sandals, and high-heels, hand-carved like irises.
Bruno Frisoni at Roger Vivier, taking inspiration from "Le Sud", decorated sandals with ladybirds, carved a new, "box" "cubist" heel, and put crabs, lobsters and fish on little evening pouches, in raffia and crystal.
Delfina Delettrez, a fourth-generation Fendi, meanwhile, is echoing the tradition of her great-grandmother, Adele, grandmother, Anna, and mother, Silvia, with inspired collections of jewellery. For next season, she is in step with the masculine-feminine interplay and took her inspiration from strong women, such as Virginia Woolf and Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin, otherwise known as George Sand, and the photographs of Helmut Newton, for cuffs, necklaces and chokers in silver and handwoven, silver thread - mother, Silvia premiered one of the modernist metal chokers at Duran Duran's gig for Fendi, earlier this week.
