A spectacular set of 8 handmade “Brilliant Bugs” buttons, designed for the Todd Oldham Spring 1992 runway collection. Full of playful glamour and unmistakable early-1990s exuberance, these buttons perfectly capture Todd Oldham’s signature ability to elevate and celebrate the mundane—turning ordinary insects into dazzling couture objects.
Each button is richly 24kt gold plated and festooned with multiple Swarovski crystals in vibrant jewel tones. The set includes an assortment of whimsical bug forms—ladybug, caterpillar, flies, bees, and beetle-like designs—each with sculptural wings, tiny legs, antennae, textured bodies, and bold oversized stones.
These pieces are handmade, with visible casting character, including charming fingerprint impressions in the metal, making each button feel personal, tactile, and one-of-a-kind. Rather than hiding the hand of the maker, the imperfections become part of the beauty—an expressive detail that adds to the vintage quality.
The look is pure 1990s Todd Oldham: joyful, witty, colorful, luxurious, and slightly irreverent. These buttons are not just closures or embellishments; they are miniature wearable sculptures.
Measures from .75 to 1.0 inches
