YSL Brings Back Bold ’80s Glam with Oversized Earrings at SS26 Show
We can’t seem to get over the accessories worn at Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, especially the earrings. The models all had chandelier-style ornaments on their ears.
These earrings were crafted by jeweler Philippe Grand whose work tends to lean toward architectural designs. The pieces consist of large clusters color of gemstones, each framed in a silver web-like setting. At the end, teardrop-shaped gems were hanging. Each model had a distinct color: ranging from amber to a dark burgundy shade. All fitting into the collection’s palette.

Founder and creative director Tremaine Emory taps Lauryn Hill to front Denim Tears’s latest Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, marking a new installment in the brand’s ongoing in-house denim project. The shoot places Hill in a black-and-white denim design and it’s cultural roots.

Shot by Liam MacRae and Justin Sarinana, the campaign frames Hill against a school-style backdrop. She appears in layered denim piece featuring Denim Tears’s signature embroidered cotton wreath motif placed closely across the fabric so the pattern becomes part of the outfit and not just a detail. The styling is completed with denim accessories, wide clear-framed sunglasses, and stacked bangle jewelry.
