SUMMER SPIKES… from Runways to Sophie’s Closet

SUMMER SPIKES… from Runways to Sophie’s Closet


Giselle Bunchen wearing Balmain in V Magazine (April 2011)

There is nothing wrong with letting our inner tough girl shine: a little bit of punk rock can be just as glamorous as diamonds. And Burberry, Balmain and Jean Paul Gaultier all seem to agree.


BURBERRY F/W 2011;
NOIR Stackable Rings;
JOOMI LIM Gold Spike Bangles;
JOOMI LIM Gold Spike Ring

Burberry’s spring collection is an intriguing mix of tough and feminine. We’re thinking that Noir’s stackable rings and Joomi Lim’s spikey rings and bracelets have a similar feel.


BALMAIN S/S 2011; 
NOIR Gold Pave Cones Bangle;
CC SKYE Silver Pave Stud Ring;
NOIR Mini Pave Pyramid Silver Double Wrap

Balmain is determined to keep punk rock alive, in a very glamorous way — reminds us of something Gwen Stefani or Rhianna would wear. Instead of a plain old stud, go for sparkly pave ones like Noir and CC Skye (so ladylike at the same time).


JEAN PAUL GAULTIER Couture 2011;  
CC SKYE Pave ‘Wicked’ Ring;  
NOIR Long Drop Spike Earrings

We love the shape of this Jean Paul Gaultier purse. It kind of looks like a medieval weapon of sorts. And almost identical shape to Noir’s drop earrings and, if it was cut in half, the CC Skye ‘Wicked’ ring. Little spikey balls: it doesn’t get cuter than that!
