KJL Duchess Cougar Brooch

In The Know: Kenneth Jay Lane certainly knows how to get a start in the fashion world! Upon moving to New York City, he began on Vogue’s art staff. He then moved to Paris (tough life!) to study with Roger Vivier, and eventually moved back to the Big Apple to work at the forefront of Christian Dior’s shoe division. 

Why STT Loves It: Brooches are back, but even if they weren't, we'd rock this feline add-on until the trend caught on! Come on, she's too cute to resist!
