An incredibly detailed Moschino safety pin jacket.
Love the use of multiple pins shaped as a brooch - surprising.

Behold it upon the back of reality queen Lauren Conrad (or is that Miley Cyrus?).
Bazaar Magazine fashion shoot.

Norma Kamali safety pin trimmed jersey dress. With daring and a bit of patience, you might try this at home.

A Lanvin chunky knit keeps its shape with a subtle pin and tuck in front.

Forever 21 - pearls and pins.

How to use an entire box of safety pins in one go. But the results are beautiful.

Love this post and the way you started it with Lucille Ball, very creative.
Thanks Laura - it's such an interesting idea. A far cry from those safety pin flag brooches of childhood :)
Love the Moschino jacket. Gorgeous.
[And Yours, Mine and Ours is an all-time favorite of me. I adore Lucille Ball.]
I love this trend! That last detail shot is fantastic!

Love the Moschino jacket on Lauren! Fabulous!
The Lanvin cardigan is amazing! It looks so cozy!
We did a post on Safety Pins back in May on Style Redux showing some great pieces, right after returning from NYC and seeing all the MJ safety pins. I especially loved MJ oversized safety pins with a huge semi-precious stone-they were amazing. A very chic look here-I'd like to see the Norma Kamali dress.
Beth - just found your post on MJ safety pins! LOVE the necklace. http://styleredux.blogspot.com/2009/05/accessory-alert-safety-pin.html
I have seen THAT Moschino dress and I love it!very tempting. G
The Moschino jacket has a postmodern meets classic look and I love the Marc Jacobs bag.
Thank you for the very kind comment at my blog. It is lovely to meet you! You have a gorgeous blog. I will be back!!
Wow, that Moschino dress is GORGEOUS. I love it. I like the Norma Kamali too. Very elegant.
Oh, that Lanvin sweater! It has my name all over it! Because I don't have enough gray sweaters, you know. ;)
I love safety pins! A couple of years ago, I purchased a Dolce & Gabbana navy silk jacket -- I can't wait for the weather to turn so I can wear it again...thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
