A silk scarf gives elegance to a simple suit, a colourful tie accents a grey one.<br></br>Apart from expressing the uniqueness of a style through accessories, they have always been objects which serve a basic function. Accessories are worn as a jewel or used as a means of seduction. Others represent a symbol, a belief or a certain social prestige. Before people used clothes accessories already existed.<br></br>Accessories mirror the lifestyle of the times….
