Jewelry Details from Valentino & Fendi Fall 2023 Couture Collections

Valentino’s Fall Couture 2023 collection unveiled oversize earrings that redefine the phrase “shoulder-grazing.” These daringly bold statement pieces are the new ‘It’ chandeliers, turning heads and setting trends with every sway. And over at Fendi, the glitterati witnessed an haute couture revolution as the iconic fashion house flawlessly fused its first-ever high jewelry collection into the Fall Couture 2023 lineup

VALENTINO: This season, subtlety takes a backseat. It’s a declaration that when it comes to jewelry, more is more. The runway was a playground of extravagance as models strutted their stuff, flaunting shoulder-grazing waterfall earrings that could double as modern art installations – each studded with colossal jewels that dared to defy gravity. Let’s not forget the faux manicure statement rings consisting of oversized crystals! The Italian luxury fashion house isn’t just raising the bar; they’ve taken that bar, bedazzled it, and turned it into the ‘It’ chandelier of the season – a shining reminder that sometimes, more really is more, and going big isn’t just an option, it’s a fabulous obligation.

FENDI: In a spectacular fashion fusion, Fendi’s Fall 2023 Couture runway became a jewelry jubilee like no other. Kim Jones, the mastermind behind the couture concoction, didn’t just draw inspiration from Delfina Delettrez Fendi’s presence as a muse but drew heavily on her debut high jewelry collection. Jones boldly declared, “We worked on a template based on Delfina’s high jewelry. If there is no jewelry, the idea is still present through the color palette (ruby reds, black diamonds, and dark blue sapphires) and embellishment in the collection; the clothes themselves take on the idea of jewelry.” Jones turned Delettrez’s latest masterpiece, the “Fendi Triptych,” into the star of the show. If you look closely there are subtle references to house emblems abound, from a rectangular baguette-cut stone – a nod to Fendi’s Baguette bag, to gem-set FF motifs hidden in necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings.
