VPL & Orly Genger Give Us Ties That Bind And Look Museum-Worthy, Too

Victoria Bartlett is known for pushing sartorial boundaries, so it's no shock that she complemented her sheer, subtly sparkly spring collection with alternately heavy, chunky, expectation-dodging accessories made from utility and climbing rope. The serpentine gallery'esque pieces in the Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer collection for VPL are a more organic and tactile take on the season's ubiquitous chain-and-chainmail jewelry and embellishments. The thick coral, light gray, and peach hand-knotted stunners, including a type of harness that takes on the body-chain trend and a breast-plate bib necklace, are all made for wearing--off the runway as well as on.
