"Pearls of Wisdom" (Marie Claire), and it is clear that fashion's
Pearl Revolution is still going strong for Fall/Winter 2022-23.
Not just for women – the gender-bending trend of men in
pearls also remains strong. Pearls for this season are delightfully
big – gobsmacking and gorgeous, "pearls the size of jawbusters"
(Vogue). Sizable pearl chokers were featured high on the
collarbone at Givenchy, Simone Rocha, and Versace, as well as
at Fendi menswear.
Large baroque pearls were also swinging as drop earrings at Tory Burch, Dior, Erdem,
and Undercover, or bouncing as fringe in fl apper style frocks at Givenchy. Bold pearl
statement rings also appeared at Oscar de la Renta, Adeam, and Versace. Pearls on the
runways also ran the gamut this season from eveningwear at Givenchy to casual hoodies
at Dolce & Gabbana to outerwear brooches at Simone Rocha, proving the enduring
relevance and versatility of the perfect pristine pearl.
