Rhinestones and crystals to shine better
The first chapter of this magical night is written by the hypnotic reflections of stones and crystals, which capture every slightest hint of artificial light. The model in satin signed Giorgio Armani covers himself with all-over rhinestonesbecoming almost a firmament to squeeze between the fingers that illuminates the entire silhouette. On the visual experimentation front, the clutch bag by Aquazzura exceeds all expectations by enclosing the soft suede in a box of transparent plexiglasslike a contemporary art find protected under glass, to then light it up with the flashy ones crystals in colour.
Echoing these two models perfect for summer ceremonies, the baroque poetry of the model Vega by Carolina Herrera. Where golden flashes welcome one shower of hand-applied rhinestoneslike embroidered constellations that welcome secret dreams and desires.

The aesthetic becomes bolder, and joyfully gothic, with the Thorn Knuckle by McQueen. Here the woven metal with an antique gold finish meets the famous jewel handle. A multiple ring handle – punk inspired – which transforms the bag into a precious and scratchy extension of the hand.
How to wear the sparkling clutch bag
How are these little masterpieces coordinated? The game of combinations is a entertainment which ranges from chromatic contrasts to fluid consistencies. For an evening with an urban and sophisticated rhythm, the glittering clutch breaks up the fluidity of the classic combo like a flash black tank top and wide satin trousers.

Another solution is to lay it naturally on minimalist sleeveless dresses in the warm and buttery shades of browndel cream white or of butter yellowcreating a sunny and chic harmony.
Finally, when the sun has long set and the occasion demands maximum scenographic romanticism, the small and flashy it-bag becomes a – necessary – maximalist accent. Together with the fuchsia chiffon dress, but also with the studded bustier pearls and sequins. Sealing with class a modern fairytale elegance, which smells of summer flowers and breezes that come from far away.
