THE COLLAR NECKLACE IS THIS SEASON’S MUST HAVE ACCESSORY.  Talk about a statement making piece. Designers like Miuccia Prada and Phillip Lim sent them down their fall 2012 runways and the fashion world rejoiced. The street style set posed in them outside Lincoln Center and independent creative types starting making their own versions. Even if you’re not brave enough to rock Miu Miu’s exaggerated zip collar, you can certainly wear an elegant crystal version. It’s an easy way to enhance ensemble. Would you stick your neck out for one of these?
