Sophia Vergara, Claire Danes and Allison Williams.. Minimal Accessories…

All of the major fashion weeks of the world converge on September. But almost more importantly, September sees the beginning of the award season in Hollywood, starting with the Emmys. Despite the lovely dresses that were adorned by some, and the not so lovely dresses adorned by others, I couldn’t help but feel there was something missing.

Almost more important than the fashion weeks, the award ceremonies provide a real focus on fashion under a very critical microscope. With that said, the 2013 Emmy Awards proved to be a fizzer for the accessories industry with many of the worlds most famous celebrities foregoing any standout pieces. Many necks were bare and the occasional bracelet was, occasional.

I understand that the fashion world can go through trends where some items aren’t worn, and others feature more prominently. This year, it is easy to see that necklaces and statement making jewellery were absent. But the world of celebrity award ceremonies should aim to cover all aspects of fashion. It was disappointing to see many prominent concepts not feature at all. Moreover, in a year where vibrancy and individual style have dominated the world’s greatest fashion weeks, everyone looked a little bit too much the same.
