Barbara Bui Does Silver Chains

CHAIN GANG: Glitzy French fashion brand Barbara Bui is launching a silver jewelry line, to be unveiled Nov. 26 at its Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré store. “I wanted it to be at once contemporary and timeless, based on the simple dynamic of chains,” said Barbara Bui of the rock ’n’ roll line, dubbed Atame, that comprises multistrand necklaces and chunky bracelets inspired by men’s chain-link bracelets. Certain pieces feature embossed snake-inspired details and rock crystal stones. (WWD)

Bronze, gunmetal gray, rose-gold and even cool purple hues headlined as the new metallics for spring. Alexander McQueen’s extreme, carved serpentine platforms in iridescent pastels set a new tone for cutting-edge colorways and silhouettes, while Christian Louboutin’s blue, scale-like plated pumps and Nicholas Kirkwood’s sueded treatment also hinted at a new direction for high-shine.

I am a HUGE fan of metallics!I have a silver metallic motorcycle jacket that I actually bought about three or four years ago, but it is one of those timeless styles that always looks fresh and new. I have sequined flats, but don't own any metallic shoes.....I'm going to rectify that. I'm loving the LD Tuttle "sling bootie," as well as Alexander McQueen's carved shoe....that one I certainly could not stand up in, but they would look great just sitting out as decorative pieces.
