As a member of the Vogue Influencer Network, I am so pleased to give you an exclusive first look at the Fall/Winter 2011 SERPENTI Accessories collection from Bulgari.
You may have guessed from the name that this collection does indeed involve snakes. For the first time in decades, Bulgari has revived the enameled serpent for their newest collection and reveals the heritage behind their iconic serpent.

This photo of Bulgari’s snake accessories ran in a 1971 issue of Vogue, connecting two iconic brands and introducing Bulgari to the world of high fashion.
I found these photos interesting and was intrigued that a look which was hot in the 70s is now back for 2011! I love when that happens. The next pair of jeans I buy WILL be 70s style for sure!
What do YOU think of the newest accessories collection from Bulgari? What do YOU think will be hot for Fall 2011?
