A sparkling add-on

Thanks to the big Y2K throwback of the moment, supported by a +356% growth rate of  2000s related content on Instagram, the body chain is back. From chains to peals and crystals, novel statement pieces are seeking to adorn the liberated body shapes of the moment.  Further, the movie Dune and other phantasy inspired shows or avatar figures are accelerating the adaption of the bejeweled style. Made from chains, pearls or crystals, the jewel piece can take many shapes. Recent runways and emerging brands and designers across social media are creatively exploring the possibility of such pieces. Especially the possibility to dress up an entire silhouette by adding the right body-chain responds to the need of contemporary versatility that is demanded by dynamic lives. Edgy styles might even convert the jewel piece into the garment itself, while more commercial interpretations should focus on belt details or braletttes intended for layering.
