Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2027 collection was unveiled this week, and the show served a handful of fashion lessons. We were reminded that little black dresses are a wardrobe staple, eyelet embroidery is the sweetest spring detail, and that shoulder pads are so back. Yet, the lesson that resonated with me most of all was the oversized gold jewelry trend—the collection confirmed that the style takes any outfit to a whole new level. Creative director Daniel Roseberry's ruffle details and sleek silhouettes were accessorized with oversized gold pieces that added a touch of theatrical glamour he's known and loved for.
We're in an age where some designers are upholding the quiet luxury standard, while others are embracing maximalism wholeheartedly. We saw oversized patterned and embellished bags at Dries Van Noten, unexpected color pairings throughout New York Fashion Week, and a general rise in pattern-clashing in our favorite street style.
In the latest example of embracing the drama, Schiaparelli went for maximal gold.

The belt, paired with a sleek all-black look, offered contrast and dimension. The necklace, with multi-textured thorn-like pieces, was paired with a glossy black top with a dramatic deep plunge. The necklace acts like a centerpiece or a work of art with the chest as the canvas.
Overall, Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2027 collection has even the girls committed to silver seriously considering investing.
