• Top 5 Pieces of Jewelry for this Winters Dusky Colours

  11.06.09 | 1 Comment

  This winter, the fashion colours are dusky shades from smoke through to plum. They are subtle, understated and unless you add your own personal sparkle to it, in very severe danger of being dull. One of the best ways to add your own personal touch, and brighten the look is with touches of silver jewelry.

  My top 5 piece of silver jewelry for Winter 2009/10 are…

  1) For a contemporary look, try a solid silver choker. Depending on your build and preference, you can choose something delicate or go for a big, chunky piece. Chokers look fabulous against bare skin, and look fabulous with everything from a little black dress to a business suit.

  2) If you like solid pieces of silver, but don’t like things around your neck, then a thick silver bangle is the perfect choice for this winter. Silver bangles look great with ¾ length sleeves and will bring instant sparkle to a cashmere sweater

  3) I love silver bracelets, but when you’re working they do catch on things and tend to drive you crazy. I have solved the problem be designing a range of stretchy silver bracelets. Solid silver beads strung on strong elastic and woven into individual designs make lovely, flexible bracelets that you can wear anywhere and add sparkle to any outfit. Read more…

• 4 Trends from Runway to Every Day

  10.30.09 | Leave a Comment!

  For the fall/winter 2009 runways, designers explored the combination of concepts as seen in previous seasons; re-examining texture, fabrication, and silhouette.  Cristophe Decarnin of Balmain can easily be credited with the overwhelming trends of the season, due partially to his formulaic aesthetic (seen in both fall/winter 2008 and spring/summer 2009 collections) that proved to be financially successful during a time when the industry was feeling the strain of the global recession.  That is not to say, however, that the evolution of this aesthetic as a whole was not furthered and in-fact reinterpreted wholly by other labels.

  The season yielded several other responses to the political climate (an undeniable factor in the design process, both financially and socially), referencing eras past from over-the-top 80s glitz, to structured 40s menswear.  Though there were a good number of designers who opted out of the total re-envisioning of punk and goth extremes, the seasons muted color palettes, happy-go-lucky accessories, and luxury detailing still maintained a somber and almost haunted tone.  Despite these seemingly conflicting references there were parallels in both construction and detailing, and especially in a few key trends that not only permeated fashion month, but trickled-down to the mainstream for the fall season.

  1. Embellishment

  Embellished details ranged from subtle to over-the-top and designers utilized them in drastically different ways and with different meaning.  Miuccia Prada and Doo-Ri Chung both sent tights delicately festooned with beads and sequins down the runway, while Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton revealed heavily patterned and textured leggings under matching balloon skirts.  Not limited to leg wear, Alexandre Herchcovitch fall collection featured entire looks covered in sequins and beads, layering contrasting three-dimensional textures to create shape and silhouette.  Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci used shimmering ombre and detailing, but the zenith of his fall collection were the almost armor-like separates covered solidly in sparkle.
