S/S 2013 Vintage Inspired Statement Jewelry

I can't get enough of the vintage inspired statement jewelry being shown for Spring/Summer 2013.

Gucci Spring/Summer 2013

The jewelry at Gucci looks very much like the pieces created in the 1940s and 1950s by Miriam Haskell and Tony Duquette.

And I love the long forgotten trend of the necklace matching the earrings!

At Dolce & Gabbana, it's all about statement earrings.

They seem to be inspired by the look of Carmen Miranda in the 1940s.

Ebony Fashion Fair at Chicago History Museum

Run, don't walk to see Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair at the Chicago History Museum. The exhibit opens today and showcases just a portion of Ebony Magazine's massive collection of breathtaking vintage couture clothing. The pieces were collected by Eunice Johnson from 1956 until 2006. The collection is unique in that it not only spans a wide range of decades but also designers. Below, I have included photos of some of my favorite pieces.
