“Kidrogony” is the term our editor-in-chief recently used to address the fact that people in high fashion seemed to be obsessed with dressing like children at the moment.

He’s not wrong. Miuccia Prada and Raf unveiled the latest installment of their powerful alliance this month, sending striped baby rompers for adults down the runway. Last year, Tyler, the Creator and Harry Styles wore Mary Janes on red carpets — a go-to choice of footwear for schoolgirls across the world. And Bottega Veneta’s second digital magazine issue pictures Travis Scott splashing around wearing a necklace not unlike the one your friend made you in middle school. The price? $3,400.

The true origins of this accessory aesthetic are hard to pinpoint, though it played a key role in ’90s teen style. Streetwear labels *EVAE+ and SALUTE played their parts in normalizing charm jewelry for men back in 2019, getting a valuable endorsement from A$AP Rocky.

High fashion houses then saw dollar signs. And is that surprise? The industry has a long history of putting its pricier spin on everyday items, like the baseball cap or sneaker, and this reworking of once-DIY goods draws parallels to a certain recently-revealed LV x Nike shoe. You only have to look at the monumental rise of the crochet hat and its newfound place in the showrooms of Marc Jacobs and Prada to realize that nothing is sacred — no matter how I-could-make-that-at-home it might be.

With DIY jewelry now firmly in high fashion sights, we’ve rounded up a selection of this season’s latest, from the pricey end of the spectrum to some options from people actually making them from home.
