Fiona Paxton Does Twenties Glamour

There couldn't be a better time for Fiona Paxton's range of embroidered statement necklaces inspired by 1920's glamour.

There couldn't be a better time for Fiona Paxton's range of embroidered statement necklaces inspired by 1920's glamour. But don't chalk it up to mere coincidence, the designer has worked on prints and embroideries for the likes of Moschino, Armani, and Chloe so it's safe to assume she knows a thing or two about trends. The collection, launched in 2008, is already selling out on Kabiri (a great place to find jewelry from up-and-comers) and is only bound to expand as 2009 is slated to be as accessories-dominant as ever. Paxton's necklaces start around $210 and are hand beaded. To learn more about the designer, click here
