An eye on accessories at Paris Fashion Week: Dog necklaces at Paul & Joe A/W 09

While the most unexpected accessories seen at Paris Fashion Week so far (and probably for a few more fashion weeks to come) were most definitely the Karl Lagerfeld furry helmets, these dog necklaces at Paul & Joe also had a certain element of surprise. If you're wanting a nice little reminder of your pooch throughout the day or just plain think it's cute, then this could be the piece of jewellery for you.

An eye on accessories at Paris Fashion Week: Furry helmets at Karl Lagerfeld A/W 09

Furry helmets aren't something you see on the catwalks every day, but if you're seeing these at a Karl Lagerfeld-designed collection, then I imagine no one batted an eyelid. He also sent out iPod-holding gloves (the most perfect product iPod-loving, glove-wearing Mr Lagerfeld has ever designed, no?) and draping chains on bags and belts.
