Judging from the swinging, statement-making earrings at Oscar de la Renta’s fall 2011 show, jewellery is back in a big way (cue the Hallelujah chorus).  From Karlie’s ‘40s-inspired beaded tassels to Carmen’s gunmetal and ruby crystals, shoulder duster earrings have swept back onto the style scene this season. Watch for these movers-and-shakers to make a red-carpet appearance at the upcoming Academy Awards.

Ever since Prabal Gurung threw his colour-block party last spring, he has been on every ed/buyer/blogger’s mind, lips and twitter account.  He’s no longer an up-and-comer. He has arrived. Exhibit A: In demand cat walker Karlie Kloss appearing in Gurung’s fall 2011 show for the first time ever, opening in a crimson hand-draped off-the-shoulder dress. Three words: Be My Valentine. Other heart-hitting looks included his black fox shrug, laser cut leather dress, goat hair and mink coat, fuchsia chiffon dress and black techno wool cutaway jacket.  Gurung’s lace details, leather accents and cinched waists (oh, how Wuthering Heights!) created a distinctively innovative take on modern-day romance.  Could this be love? Je pense que oui.
