The world of interiors serve as the starting point for Roger Vivier’s Fall 2017 accessory collection. Borrowing fine details from elements of décor that are spread across time and space, the collection creates a delectable array of modern day classics. A 19th-century ottoman fabric inspires the textile used in a series of pumps and ankle boots, while striped wallpapers translate into an interesting mix of patchwork on bags and shoes. Standing out in this mix is the embellished shoulder bag in plush black velvet with a drawstring fastening and gold metal base. A tribute to the ’20s, the bag’s gold-toned bottom opens to reveal a cigarette holder making it an interesting choice for an evening of dizzying cocktails and unrestrained revelry.…
The riches and opulence of Russian monarchs serve as the inspiration for Boucheron’s Hiver Impérial high-jewellery collection.

Mirroring the serene waters of Lake Baïkal in Siberia and mimicking the silhouette of the traditional Russian wedding gear, the necklace is the perfect choice for a regal bride.…

It really is just about wearing it with confidence Q: Tips for a day-to-night wedding. An Indian wedding is a celebration so I would say pick fun textures. Like glitter, for example, if you…
