I saw these beasts of neck pieces on style bubble and thought they were pretty cool...totally impractical for this time of year but interesting none the less... and wandering through Covent Garden last week I happened across Kabiri which I had no idea was there, even though I've been in it before. I'm such a muppet. Anyway, I digress...In the window was one of aforementioned neck pieces and of course I had to go in and try it on and see how it was made. Turns out I loved it which I wasnt expecting! By this I don't mean that it didn't look impressive on the stand, because it really did, it was just that once it was around my neck it looked amazing (not because I have an amazingly good- looking neck at all). I wasn't exactly wearing attire to complement it but teamed with a t shirt dress it would really stand out. Another way in which it may perhaps stand out is the fact that any wearer would be walking around not being able to bend their head forward due to how cumbersome it is...
For those with a short neck there was other pieces which were equally impressive...and slightly cheaper!
A quick thing I wanted to include in this post was this necklace by Johanne Mills. Of all the interesting things to browse in Kabiri, this one caught my eye straight away. Again I couldn't not try it on:)
