Tie One On
When it comes to fashion, we’re merry minimalists.
But after seeing Charlotte Hosten’s exquisite line of neckpieces, we’re rethinking our mandate. Sculpted from silk remnants, vintage jewellery and semi-precious stones, each handmade piece is like a fine work of art.The Deauville collar ($240) made with glass beads, Swarovski crystal and a man’s cotton shirt looks splendid paired with jeans and a basic tee.
For something special, bring her your grandmother’s costume brooch and she’ll customize a creation (from $300) like this one using family tartan and a gold antique pocket watch.
Our neck will never look naked again.
