The black choker worn by the character Matilda in Luc Besson's 1994 movie, Leon, is a classic representation of this kind. Another movie that same year, Pulp Fiction, also features its unruly leading character, Mia Wallace, wearing a thin black ribbon with a ruby stone.
In addition to movies, celebrities were also among the choker-wearing trend setters of this time.
From actress Kate Winslet to singer Victoria Beckham, from Princess Diana to supermodel Naomi Campbell, a woman in a choker seemed to be a passport to the spotlight.
Now, the trend has resurfaced and choker is a commodity for fashion icons. It is also popular among fashion designers.
Deviating from being merely a necklace, the idea has developed into stylish choker-like tops of all kinds.
Now, are you ready to follow suit?
