Beaded Lanyards and Eyeglass Chains Caught in a Fashion Fusion
This spring's collections show a mix of cultural fashions from
around the world. According to Bloomsberry International, Spring
2005 was an exotic exchange of worldly attitudes which took
fashion on a fantastic journey from South Asia, via the
Mediterranean, and on to Africa. The principal styles this
Spring are the Luxe Boho look, the Grecian Goddess, and African
Safari Chic.
The Luxe Boho look is a revival of hippy styles from the 1960s.
This style is young, free, and fun! Boho fashion has a gypsy
flower-power appeal and is dominated by flowing styles and
fabrics. Typical cuts include tunic tops, flared jeans, and
flowing peasant dresses. Fabrics of Boho fashion include paisley
florals, silk, embroidery, beadwork, and patchwork. Gypsy
jewelry designs go well with a bohemian look. Natural
materialssuch as stone, shell, wood, and bone beads are a great
asset. The New
Horizons beaded lanyard is an excellent example of an
accessory made to suit Boho attire. New Horizons is made of
natural tiger eye stones and bone speckled medium seed beads.
Earth coloring combined with youthful simplicity gives the
desired look. A chunky New Horizons choker, or other accessories
made in this style, are a great asset to a bohemian outfit.
Spring fashion also saw the revival of the Ancient Greek
Goddess. Modern Grecian fashion took ancient Troy vogue to
create modern togas. The Greek Goddess form is raw, plain,
natural, monotone, and flowing. Grecian clothing is simple with
plain garlands of knotted cotton or silk - creating a flowing
fabric cover over the body. Calvin Kline and Roberto Cavalli
showed wrapped Grecian dresses in monotone pastel colors such as
pink, cream, light teal, white, mauve, and
taupe. Jewelry in
monochromatic styles and colors blends perfectly with the
Grecian look. Beaded jewelry made of matte beads in the simple
shapes of circles, squares, or rectangles, is an excellent
choice for this type of attire. A Pr
estige beaded eyeglass chain, accented with rectangles, is
made of monochromatic matte pastel silver beads in a delicate
understated pattern. Twisted marble-like pearls make Prestige a
fine addition to a spring toga. Spring's African Safari apparel
dominated the collections of most fashion houses including those
of Jean Paul Gautier and Versace. Safari fashion is light,
sporty, and clean. It boasts clean lines and sharp cuts in matte
cotton fabrics. The colors reflect those of the Savanna such as
khaki, cream, and sand. Tribal colors and styles, influenced by
native fashion, are a great choice for jewelry. Creative
patterns of zebra, cheetah, leopard, and giraffe would be ideal.
Medalye Design's Cleopatra
beaded lanyard was inspired by the ancient North African queen
and is a wonderful Safari match. Cleopatra's black and white
seed beads provide the desired ethnic accent. Matte gold beads
offer a natural touch and bone-shaped raw brass beads match
traditional Safari colors and textures.
