Diadem and tiaras are all the rage, they can be precious or simple bijoux. Here is a selection and advice on how to wear a tiara or a diadem. And not just at the wedding ♦

Today, the word tiara has become synonymous with diadem. The tiara is often translated with a tiara-like word in many languages. Both words, however, derive from the ornaments worn on the head by men and women in antiquity. These ornaments indicated high status. But today this is no longer the case. The tiara is often worn on formal occasions, particularly if the dress code is a white tie, or for ceremonies such as weddings. And not only that: a tiara can also be worn with informal clothing. Of course, in this case, it will be different from the tiara used for a ceremony.

The first woman to minimize the royalty of tiaras, tiaras and crowns, the prerogative of high jewelery and high society, was Courtney Love, in 1995, when she showed up at a concert with a statement circle fakest crystals that looked like diamonds. Something similar to the crown of Miss America, pity the lipstick was deliberately smudged.

It was 20 years ago and now there are girls in New York who do not give up a jewel in the hair even to go to the office, while the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood wears a crown of coral when she goes on a bike ride to London. And so, like Borsalino hat is back in fashion for young men and casual dress, an outfit is not complete if it lacks the right ornament on head.

How to wear the tiara

That, pay attention, is no longer an expression of a rank, but a free choice. The most interesting thing is that the democratization of the tiara has even changed the label of the young princesses and queens in Europe, with Kate Middleton in the head, you should say, rather than the back door, in line with your ears and tilted at least 45 degrees, while the custom would like placed far ahead and almost horizontal. Now that you know even the proper way to bring here is a selection suited to weddings and less formal occasions.

Tiaras are often worn by actresses in movies, comedies and on television. In 2013, Cartier created a replica of the ruby and diamond tiara they had originally made in 1956 for Princess Grace of Monaco for the film Grace of Monaco, starring Nicole Kidman. But the tiaras can also be made of plastic, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals or any other non-precious material. They are worn by women on occasions such as a party or prom. They are also worn by beauty pageant winners and children who dress up as Disney princesses.

The jewels of Kirat Young, former muse of Yves Saint Laurent who became designer ♦

Few have a history similar to that of Kirat Young. Born in India, New Delhi, she became the top model in Paris, Yves Saint Laurent’s muse, one of the favorites of stylist (the designer kept a photo of Kirat in his room). They were the seventies. Then, friendship with Oscar de la Renta arrived. Leaving the catwalk Kirat has turned to another type of luxury, that of jewelery. From his side is the knowledge of the glamorous world of fashion, but also the artistic tradition of his country of origin. The result is a kind of jewelery that reveals both of the souls of Kirat Young. Annette de la Renta, Oscar’s wife, was her first client. By word of mouth, Kirat Young has begun to draw and produce jewels. He designed cufflinks for Valentino, earrings for Tory Burch, which the designer wore for a service on Town & Country.

Jewelery is made in Thailand, as the designer’s main house is in Bangkok. But jewelery is sold in the boutiques of Oscar de la Renta, Switzerland, Gstaad and St. Moritz, and in Los Angeles. The style of jewelery signed by Kirat Young is varied. He used a lot of South Sea pearls when he was married to an Australian. It now composes its jewels mainly with precious and colored stones, silver, vermeil, gold.

The view nature through a gothic lens, with an eclectic style that has wowed: it is the Gaelle Khouri’s jewelry.

Among Lebanon and Britain, London, Gaelle Khouri has learned that in life you must first of all have fun, I mean be themselves. So she left the world of Finance, after graduating in economics and a master’s degree, to devote himself to jewelry. Also because of an internship by Oscar de la Renta, in New York. Freed from the anxiety-inducing world of money, he has returned to his country of origin, Lebanon, and began studying jewelry design, at Elie Saab. Her debut is been brilliant. Her jewels are eclectic, fun, unconventional.

But perhaps the biggest compliment you can make to this designer is to have a sense of humor: rare gift as a four leaf clover in the jewelry world (and beyond). Look at his earrings Self-portrait, which have the shape of fish bones, made of rose gold, burnished silver, white and brown diamonds. Among other things, she does not look like nothing to a fish bone, but it’s pretty nice. Including a Gothic style, but also with a hyperrealism that leads her to play fruit, flowers or animals, the jewels of his first collection, The Garden of Earthly Delights, divided into Couture and Casual lines, surprised everyone. And it is only the beginning. Recently, the designer also introduced a line of wedding rings, naturally with surprising shapes, with a combination of oval and baguette diamonds, extreme angles and an aggressive volume.

[wzslider]Ha insegnato lo stile alle americane ma, oltre agli abiti, ha firmato anche collezioni di gioielli: Oscar de la Renta, lo stilista domenicano, è morto. Negli anni ha ispirato lo stile di quattro First Lady, delle dive di Hollywood e delle «socialité» d’oltreoceano, a partire da Jacqueline Kennedy, sua grande fan. Una passione che ha contagiato anche il grande pubblico con la serie tv Sex and the city, dove una delle protagoniste, Carrie, non riesce a resistere all’acquisto compulsivo di abiti e scarpe, che sfiora l’esaltazione di fronte ai vestiti di de la Renta. Ma la consacrazione sullo schermo in parte c’era già stata, con il film Il diavolo veste Prada quando la terribile Miranda, figura ispirata all’altrettanto temibile direttrice di Vogue America, Anne Wintour, rimprovera l’assistente allegramente ignara del fatto che nel 2002 il designer avesse proposto il colore ceruleo. Sfumature di blu a parte, è innegabile che le sue creazioni fossero negli Stati Uniti uno status symbol, tanto che Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush e Hillary Clinton, il giorno del giuramento alla Casa Bianca, sono apparse al fianco dei mariti neo presidenti indossando un completo dello stilista. Suo anche l’abito da sposa in pizzo di Amal Alamuddin per il matrimonio con George Clooney. Quale modo migliore per ricordare lo stilista, se non con una gallery dedicata ai suoi gioielli?

Hues of blue aside, it is undeniable that his creations are a status symbol in the United States, so that Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, the day of the oath in the White House, appeared alongside their husbands wearing a de la Renta’s suit. Its from him also the lace wedding dress chosen by Amal Alamuddin for her marriage with George Clooney. What better way to remember the designer, with a gallery dedicated to his jewelry?
