To wear a garment, a collection or even jewelry is to wear a part of yourself. Indeed, by carefully choosing to favor certain styles, materials or shapes over others, we make a subtle personal statement. This choice reflects our values, our state of mind and the way we wish to be perceived (directly or indirectly) by others (implicitly or explicitly).
Belts are no exception to this subtle rule, which frames the choice of accessories as a form of self-expression. The world of accessories is vast, and through the ages we've seen iconic pieces emerge that have marked their time: the corseted belts of the 19th century, a symbol of elegance and posture; the Kelly bags by Hermès, which have become the epitome of timeless chic; Gothic jewelry, charged with symbolism and dark aesthetics; or the metal chain belts popularized by the 1990s.
