Recently, the luxurious, extravagant aesthetics used for jewellery and accessories have been fading in favour of the weird and wonderful. While brands like Judith Leiber, Schiaparelli and Olympia Le-Tan have been crafting kooky novelty bags for decades, the current popularity of these attention-grabbing designs is worth noting. Clock Moschino Fall/Winter 2022 show where lamp shades became headwear, grandfather clocks informed bag designs and champagne buckets became literal arm candy.

For Moschino’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection, designer Jeremy Scott took inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey and antiquated furniture one might find in a mansion.

In the spirit of wacky wearable fashion, we pulled together some of the most creative, novel accessories to cop.
