For the sixth installment of its collaboration series with visionaries from around the globe, British fashion designer Matthew Williamson signed on to create oversized statement pieces inspired by the artist Jim Lambie that perfectly mimic the head-turning graphic prints and geometric shapes that Williamson frequently sends down the runway.<br /> <br /> Jason Wu—the designer best known for whipping up Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown— imagined feminine yet subtly tough earrings and rings, in which he merged strands of chainmail and burnished metal with delicate clusters of crystals. Even famed architect Zaha Hadid got in on the action and fashioned sinuous bracelets with colorful crystals suspended in clear resin. Don’t delay! Collections like these tend to become the most covetable of the season. –Erica Blumenthal<br /> <br />
