A tranquil ocean belies billions of life forms acting out their natural cycles underneath the surface. It is from the mysterious deep that fashion has drawn some of its best inspiration in recent seasons, and this theme has made its way into the accessories world. Designers the likes of Alexis Bittar, Alexander McQueen, and Miu Miu have incorporated sea horses, pearls, shells, and more into their breathtaking accessories. Spend some time with these gorgeous products courtesy of our accessories editor’s scrapbook – the sight of beauty is as soothing as the sound of ocean waves.
