Animal motifs have always been central to the work of Delfina Delettrez, and this season the theme took on a magical dimension. For her presentation in the gallery of the storied Parisian taxidermist Deyrolle, the designer scattered creations from her latest collection, “Garden of Delight,” across a menagerie of stuffed creatures. Materials at play included gold, silver, enamel, bone, tusks, teeth and fur. There was a range of gold and silver cobweb cuffs, a spider necklace dotted with gems, the brand’s new line of bejeweled mink cuffs, embellished with sapphires, crystal and Murano glass. Other highlights included a series of butterfly bracelets and rings in silver and enamel, as well as tribal neckpieces — one featuring wild boar teeth, amethysts and tourmalines — and a wooden skull capped with 100 diamonds.
