As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, brighten up your evenings with a cheerful dose of bling. We’re talking about crystal-embellished dresses from the likes of Gucci and Christopher Kane, or accessories dripping in sparkles—think Christian Dior’s sequinned iteration of the Diorama bag or Roger Vivier's dazzling boot. Alexander McQueen takes the high-octane look to new heights with a collection “infested” with jewelled beetles, including a skirt bedecked with as many as 700 versions of the insect. Fall is a time to shine, so get your bling on. Words: Rosana Lai | Photography: Jason Lloyd-Evans (backstage, runway, and street style)
