Autumn Spotlight: Dripping in Drama

It's true when they say that not every trend to grace the runway is for everyone. Some seasons we're hit with luscious waves of to-die-for looks and others can only be described as a cacophony of bizarre juxtaposition. The A/W'19 runways most definitely hit the latter category between kick-flip 1930s glamour, goth-come-raver technicolour to everything giant, furry, fuzzy and faux. That being said, when it comes to shining a spotlight on jewellery, all the looks to touch the runway are not only wearable no matter how daring your style maybe but showcase all the personality you will need this season.
