Getting accessories into Focus

With the wealth of accessories out there, and the buying season just about to start, the new Focus issue covers the key areas - tiaras and jewellery, lingerie, shoes, hats, veils and even cover ups, from feathery shrugs to rainy-day brollies

BBEH, 14-16 March, will be home to some 250 collections and among them you will find the best possible selection of accessories to cater to every taste and any budget. The latest issue of Focus has been designed to give you a head start when planning the collections you want to see at the show, and its directory page gives all the contacts you’ll need to make appointments in advance or to stay in touch in the months ahead. Here are the companies you’ll read about in Focus:

TIARAS
The new season’s headdresses positively shimmer. Crystals and pearls, often worked with abstract twists of metal are both delicate and exotic. Vintage is key, and side detailing leads the way. In jewellery, the focus is multi-dimensional. Chandelier earrings, gleaming pearl chokers, and the latest fave, pendants.
