Shopping: The Brooch is Back

Clockwise from left: Lanvin rose brooch $1071 Mytheresa, Lanvin cupid brooch $655 Kirna Zabete, Hakuna brooch $170 Swarovski, Jean Schlumberger maltese cross clip $9300 Tiffany & Co., Iradj Moini pin $2125 Marissa Collections, Bounkit pin $960 Marissa Collections.

Much-loved by wide-shouldered power-dressers in the Eighties, the bold brooch is back—but this time around it's not about jewel-encrusted serpents and cheetahs. Lanvin's Alber Elbaz designed two of our favorite whimsical pins, both perfect when piled on in pairs and worn with a ladylike dress or added as an afterthought to a favorite handbag.
