mhe is better alone than in bad company, as the old saying went. A proverb that for theFall Winter 2022/23 many designers seem to have taken it literally, applying it to the world of jewelswhere a new protagonist has been decreed: the single earring. Not only ear cuffs, but also pendants and small sculptures to shine alone. Flashy and extravagant or minimal and discreet, this season pairs of earrings explode, opening up to new (stylistic) adventures, without the help of a plus one.
From Givenchy to Balmain, the earring is single
You don’t need flashy chandeliers or large circles for effective looks. Never like now, in fact, just one earring is enough, word of stylists. For this season, for example, Matthew Williams from Givenchy he drew inspiration from punk and goth aesthetics, through piercings, nose rings and earrings in metallic tones, to be worn strictly alone. On the catwalk of the French maison they showed earcuffs that also act as a clip to tie the hair or pairs of earrings to wear on the same ear. Another great proponent of the trend is Olivier Rousteing from Balmain, which between armors that recall fencing and biker style, presented mono earrings in the shape of a padlock, complete with a key inserted. Accessories that do not go unnoticed, even on their own.
