Pin-Pin Situation: Brooches Make a Comeback



Just one of the jewelry takeaways from the fall 2015 runway shows: It’s time to broach the brooch subject. Brobdingnagian bejeweled and Perspex styles popped up at Prada; Chanel affixed clusters of gold button-size versions to its tweedy, tailored designs (for both men and women); Dolce & Gabbana used vintage-inspired varieties in models’ updos. Need an accessory to pull your whole look together? Put a pin on it.
