Would you wear it?

But other than Givenchy's new edgy style, there are other accessories/styles that were featured in this season's defilé that we noticed. Balenciaga's futuristic theme with Cube shoes/Square heels, Lanvin's bathing suit with drop-waist trouser look, Nicolas Ghesquière's golden rings, Hermes's oversized Birkin,... There was a minimalistic yet simple twist in all this spring's collections.

Check out some of the pictures below and see if you can answer this question: When and to what occasion do you think you'd wear each item?
