Beaded Lanyards and Eyeglass Chains in the style of Coco Chanel
The Fall-Winter collections of 2005 were occupied with a revival
of Coco Chanel's classical styles. This revival included a
plethora of Bloomsbury fabrics, tweeds, tartans, and equestrian
suits. The classical Chanel look includes simple jersey dresses,
box-jacket suits, knit suits, and pullovers with white piqué
collars and cuffs. To complement these styles, luxurious pearl
accessories were shown as the accent 'de jour'.
Coco Chanel's costume jewelry collections were intended to be
worn blatantly on tweeds and with feminine day time wear. Coco
Chanel originated plain styles worn with several rows of fake
pearls. Chanel started the fashion for gold and bead chains,
charm bracelets and jeweled belts, often combining junk jewelry
with real jewels on plain garments.
The classical Coco Chanel style found in this year's Fall-Winter
collection is best complemented with simple and elegant beads.
Pearls and stain finish beads in solid colors will harmonize
with the classical look seen on the runways. Feminine sporty
beads can also be used to complete a Chanel look, especially if
tweed fabrics are in your wardrobe. When selecting beaded
jewelry look for classical colors such as black, white or cream.
Any beaded jewelry that has a chic, clean, and savvy appearance
would balance any classical outfit.
The current Medalye Designs collection offers various pieces
which are ideal for classical attire.
Forever Classic is an especially appropriate piece and was
inspired by the house of Coco Chanel. In this design, satin
finished oval black beads offer a clean line and a rich
luminescence for a simple yet dynamic pearl piece. For office
suits of Coco Channel caliber, the Forever Classic beaded
lanyard may be your best bet. For the sporty tweed look, matte
beads combined with luster beads can offer a sporty yet feminine
finish to an outfit.
Innocence is an excellent example of femininity combined
with practicality. If you wear an eyeglass chain or eyeglass
necklace but want to maintain a classical look, then the
Innocence design is an ideal choice. In this design the matte
finish of the beads have a sporty appeal, while the round shape
of the beads offer a feminine line. As well, the cream crystal
and cream luster beads in Innocence offer a final rich feminine
touch.
