Today’s feature that has us clutching our pearls is the “The Jean Paul Gaultier 1977 Les Plongeuses Fin-Heels”.

PEARL FASHION: A Look Back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign

We at Pearl’s Only decided to take a look back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign and we loved it just as much as we did before!

The line featured great fashion but what really caught our attention was their gorgeous attention to detail with their jewelry—their pearls in particular!

The line created by Dior’s accessories designer, Camille Miceli, really caught the delicate beauty of pearls and gave it a stunning modern twist.
