Pearl Fashion Fact: Queen Alexandra of Denmark Wore Pearl Chokers to Hide Scar

Posted by

Alexandra of Denmark, full name Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia was born on December 1, 1844 and died on November 20, 1925. She was Queen consort of the United Kingdom and Empress of India as the wife of King-Emperor Edward VII.

Queen Alexandra was well known for her style, jewelry, and most importantly her pearls.

In a majority of her images, you will notice that she has layers of pearls and diamond dog-collar chokers, called a ‘collier de chien’ on her neck but the question is why.

According to numerous sources including Wikipedia, Queen Alexandra originally wore them to cover a small scar on her neck that was likely the result of a childhood operation.

Little did she know that by wearing the choker necklaces she was setting the foundation of a trend that would still be popular to this very day.

Isn’t that interesting? Comment with your thoughts.

PEARL FASHION: Chanel’s S/S RTW 2014 Ad Campaign

Posted by

Chanel is an iconic brand that has always been known for their signature pumps, fashionable tweeds, and their absolutely gorgeous variety of pearls. We at =&0=& love Chanel’s designs and we were more than excited how they showed off their well-known signatures in a new and fresh way– especially the pearls!

Chanel just released their new Spring/Summer Ready to Wear Ad Campaign for 2014 and we are happy to say that Chanel and their Creative Director, Karl Lagerfeld did not disappoint.

The campaign features, bright and inviting colors, youthful cuts, fringed tweed shorts, loose tweed skirts, tailored coats, crop tops, and amazing pearls of all varieties and designs including a daring metallic future-inspired pearl cuff necklace with multiple large pearls and also a three strand pearl necklace with a large statement pearls in the front and back of the piece.

The collection is quite chic and artistic which Lagerfeld attributes to his interest in both art and fashion. In an interview on Chanel’s online news steam he stated, “Andy Warhol really got the right idea that those things [fashion and art] can very well live together.”

He then went on during the interview on to say, “[His] idea was to make a collection that could be right for a woman to go to an opening of different artists.”

We completely agree! Nothing is more beautiful than the perfect combination of art and fashion.

The ad features a simple photo-shoot location and complimenting mirrors which makes the clothing the focal point of attention.

All together, we think that the images for the campaign, taken by Lagerfeld, look great and the models, Lindsey Wixson and Sasha Luss are an appropriate look for the ad.

What do you think of Chanel’s 2014 Spring/Summer Ready to Wear Ad Campaign? Will you be wearing the collection?
