Must Have Accessories Brought Back to Light

Posted on 22 September 2009 by Angelique

To escape the bleak and cold winter season and gloomy economic climate, jewelry designers want to enlighten consumers by creating bold and vibrant one of a kind jewelry.

Bright emerald green fused with neutral olive green and yellow, sun-kissed hues of pink and deep purplish blue gemstones were staples at many collections for this upcoming spring/summer 2010 season at New York Fashion Week.

Subversive Jewelry, shown at the Accessories Exhibit at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, New York is inspired by the Baroque era philosophy of extravagance fused with intricate detail, high energy, flamboyant colors and dynamic shapes and designs.

From ivy-shaped amber crystals hanging off a small link chain necklace lined with bead clusters to thick metal cuff bracelets adorned with turquoise and coral colored beads, Subversive Jewelry is all about overstated elegance.

Alex Soldier?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s collection is extreme opulence balanced with elegance, presenting each piece of jewelry with fashion forward timelessness and class.

Overstated dark and light green gemstones set in a yellow gold cocktail ring is the perfect accessory to wear with one of Halston?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s white flowing dresses that reflect the true essence of summer.

Posted on 02 September 2009 by Angelique

marchesa2

The company will debut handbags at its spring presentation, which takes place Sept. 16 at The Chelsea Art Museum in New York. The collection of 28 clutches and evening cases are as elaborate as the brand?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s dresses, with such details as beading, pleating and corsetry.

Key styles include a silver clutch with a profusion of beading and embroidery in an elongated oval shape and clutches with tassels. There are also exotic skins such as alligator, crocodile and lizard done in rich colors like aubergine and ochre. The bags will retail from $995 to $5,000 for an exotic skin.

?¢‚Ǩ?ìSome people don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t always have an occasion for a gown,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù said Chapman. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìYou could wear these with jeans and a T-shirt.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù

The company has no plans to launch ancillary categories as of yet, but ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWe always keep our minds open,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù Chapman said coyly. In the past, Marchesa has tapped Christian Louboutin to partner on shoes for presentations. See entire article at WWD
