Paris Fashion Week: accessories

The Paris shows saw a tantalizing array of accessories, with emphasis on soft clutch bags like Céline's fold-over model, and small box purses in hard materials. Clear plexiglass heels turned up at Givenchy and Alexander McQueen (where they were filled with crystals). Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton showed pointy sling-backs. Balenciaga's gold rings will be sold in sets, one for every finger.
