A stretchy crepe column was embellished with an armorlike jeweled collar, while the standout beaded nude chiffon number was studded just at the neckline with golden brooches. The duo were most successful when they pinned heavy brooches on wispy fabrics. "It's the contrast that makes it interesting," Mischka said. It's true.
