As soon as I saw Marni’s AW12 collars I was reminded of these (old, granted) pictures of circus girls from Retronaut. In fact I may have already posted them, but the chunky jewelled collars with their slightly ‘off’ tones remind me of the old-timey gaudiness of the amazing circus girls. Kind of like coming across a bag of ancient, slightly faded Christmas decorations, the neoprene collars are a move on from your trad collar necklace and are right up my chunky jewellery street. Bring on the new season!
