Winter Must-Have - Chokers
It seems the long reign of the long necklace finally comes to a close this season with the catwalk turn of the choker, heralded by designers and ladieswear wholesalers as a must-have glamour injection for 2011's winter months.There is no doubt that old school, high octane glamour has been the name of the game on the catwalks of New York Fashion Week for winter 2011, and few pieces capture the elegance and sophistication of '40s glamour like the choker.The famous New York Fashion week boasted the versatility of the pieces with a variety of different pairings by every designer.From the simple sophistication of tailored forties dresses to the sultry sumptuousness of the fur coat or greatcoat (both hugely popular this season,) the choker took pride of place in the outfit, adding a final glamour injection.On the subject of her collection for the season, Donna Karan, American fashion designer and creator of the Donna Karan New York and DKNY labels had this to say; "This collection was about the empowerment of women, their words of wisdom and their ability to be strong and take a stand without giving up their femininity," a sentiment shared throughout the pre-war forties.Karan's collection led wholesale clothing manufacturers and ladies wear wholesalers alike in defining the definitive choker for the season, again harking back to 40's glamour with a strand of pearls gilding the necks of her models; demure yet undeniably chic.Meanwhile, glamour veterans Yves Saint Laurent and Dolce and Gabanna blew the competition away doing what they do best, with a collection of stunning pieces in striking gold.Like so much this winter, chokers hold an elegant sophistication that could only be dreamed of two years ago.Simple yet sophisticated, the pieces are not only classically beautiful but exceptionally forgiving, as a simple addition to the neckline detracts attention from all but the most imposing of sins.2011's glamour seems less of a trend and more of a total shift in zeitgeist within continental fashion houses, ladies wear wholesalers, wholesale clothing manufacturers and the rest of the international fashion community away from the grunge of the glam-grunge romanticism of the last decade and towards a return of pure, unadulterated, high-octane feminine glamour - There is no doubt that women across the world will be enjoying these pieces throughout the rest of 2011 and long into 2012.Check out the latest catwalk collections of gold and silver.
