Scorpio Season Must-Have Accessories

Nothing is more cyclical than fashion. What was once deemed dead, dull or irrelevant has now been resurrected for a new age. Naturally, the dominating emissaries of style — from Edith Head to Anna Wintour — belong to the sign of death and rebirth, Scorpio. Perhaps the most feared sign in the zodiac, Scorpio commands metamorphosis — via transformative relationships, changes of circumstances, and literal or metaphorical death. If our understanding of what we are and what we wear is always changing, Scorpio leads us to our next incarnation.

Scorpio’s ruling planet is Pluto, god of the underworld. Up here on earth, the agents of the scorpion can peer into the abyss — underground scenes, abject or taboo movements, outsider voices — and raise the future from the depths. Chloe Sevigny can unearth any outdated look and make it instantly relevant: that’s the power of style resurrection.

As the brisk winds of winter creep in and we exhume the leather, wool and fur of seasons past, we’re in for a review of who we are now, and who we were then. What of your old style self is truly gone forever, ready to be released? And, as you reintroduce yourself to your 15 year-old trench coat — long thought lost in the caverns of your storage locker — what of your past are you ready to integrate and unleash upon the world? This Scorpio season, how will you command your style rebirth?

Imbued with a vision of the big picture, Scorpios make for excellent editors, curators and projectors. The eight-time Oscar winning costume designer Edith Head knew how to shape the fantasies of the movie-going public, creating definitive looks for Katherine Hepburn, Mae West, Natalie Wood and beyond. Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue, has long played Wizard of Oz to our collective cultural imagination. Both women are known to show up, get to work, and turn it out. While they trade in extravagant and expansive styles, they keep their own looks concise: chic, sleek, and armored with bangs. What do they have to prove? Affirm your mastery by keeping it simple: step out with the Chanel Black & Gold Premiere Watch Medium, and the Prada Black Saffiano Bow Zip Around Wallet.
