Rara Avis - Iris Apfel, A Style Master

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Sun, 30 May 2010 17:51:00 +0000

We love Iris Apfel! Her bold look with striking colour combinations and Fab jewellery is a legendary one. Known for her eclectic mixing of haute couture with costume jewellery and exotic baubles, Iris Apfel has inspired bold developments in the fashion industry through her spirited irreverence and pitch-perfect taste.

Apfel is 88, a "geriatric starlet" (her own description) who has suddenly become a staple of hip New York life – photographed by Bruce Weber, admired by designers such as Isaac Mizrahi and Duro Olowu, featured in Paper magazine, Vogue and the New York Times, blown up beyond life-size in the window of Barneys department store. In the five years since a show of her clothes at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute was a word-of-mouth sensation, she has taken the world of style by storm. Her looks are now so legendary!

Long live the Queen!

Valentine's Day Gifts - A Brief Gift Guide for Men

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:49:00 +0000

It's never too early to start thinking (or at least start researching) for that special Valentine's Day gift that is approaching sooner then you think. This way they will be No last minutes panic attacks or Red roses picked up from the street corner!

So how do you choose what to give on this special day, dedicated to the romantics of this world.

Yes flowers are beautiful but they only last for 5 days.
Chocolates are yummy..but they pile in the pounds...BUT a piece of carefully selected jewellery will last forever (even if the relationship won't).
Here is a short "Focus" list that we though it might help:

A. Know the woman's style...that you shopping for.
B. Don't be cheap...especially since most women know the market and the prices!
C. Find out if she favours any specific designer or style of jewellery (pendants, earrings, etc).
D. Worst case scenario, select an elegant Heart shape design...but choose wisely. Avoid the tack!

For more have a look on our Valentine's Day Gifts page or go straight to our Heart Jewellery collection!
Happy Valentine's Day!

PS
and get her a bottle of Champagne too while you're there! Do you love her or what?

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:25:00 +0000

After a variety of different designer accessories projects, such as the tricks gadgets and customized belts, the Italian fashion house has now turned its attention in costume jewellery, offering a limited edition line of costume jewellery with a retro look.

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:38:00 +0000

A new line of 160 styles of cute mini "beetle" cufflinks for men (or women) will be launched by Barneys New York and Volkswagen next month. With a price tag of $550 ( around £345) these sweet handcrafted silver and enamel cufflinks are made in the shape of the iconic 1974 VW Beetle.

As part of a counterculture moment at Barneys commemorating the 50th anniversary of the peace sign, Volkswagen has joined forces with Barneys in this campaign, the theme of which is "Peace & Love: Have a Hippie Holiday" in celebration of the New Beetle's 10th anniversary.

Laura Soave, Volkswagen's general manager of marketing, quoted: "We recognize with the current situation, this will not be for everyone. But these are specialized items. It's like a collector's item.

So girls if you'll be around New York in November snap a few for a special Christmas present or a treat for yourself!

Designer Jewellery by Cora Sheibani | Sweet like a cherry pie!

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:31:00 +0000

Cora Sheibani, is a Swiss jewellery designer that creates jewellery inspired by pastry! Her inspiration, (as it's the case in most inspirational moments in ones life) came to her one day when she encounter problems in her production.

Frustrated and distressed, she spend her afternoon indulging in pastries in Zurich (well after all she is a girl..and we all know that this method works!). As luck had it, she then met a goldsmith, who so happened he had some antique copper molds for pastries and candies and that gave her a new kick start to begin collecting them herself. She even went to the great extend of taking courses in the historic confectionery (where is that class cause i wan to take it myself!).

Now six years later, her jewellery, created in precious metals and semi precious stones, are resembling a tray of petits fours. Her pieces are whimsical, fun and I might say very different; like her gold pretzels necklace or her candy and cup cake rings.

Ms Sheibani's pieces start at $4,000 and can go up to $9,500 and if you live in New York city, you can view her work at the Arts Corporation Studio from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Arts Corporation Studio | 4th floor, 35 Great Jones Street (Lafayette Street) | 646.509.3753.

For the rest of us that New York might be a bit too far fetched, you can see Ms Sheibani's exhibition tour and dates in London and Zurich by visiting her exhibition page.

Vicroire De Castellane - A Designer's profile

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:19:00 +0000

Even if you don't know the name Vicroire De Castellane, you definitely have seen, know (and probably suffer over) her jewellery! Vicroire De Castellane is the 42 year old designer of the Dior Fine Jewellery lines, that lives and works in Paris creating all these beautiful collections of fine jewellery for the Dior House.

In a recent interview this is what she had to say:

• Jewellery is like a friend! I don't feel alone when i wear it and it looks nice when you make gestures.

• When you get older, replace fashion statements with jewellery statements. That way it's harder to feel ridiculous.

• It's a mistake to wear spectacles with earrings. It's too complicated. (Strong point!)

• It's important to maintain your childish spirit in life. You feel more free, that everything is possible!

• It's a big job to be a girl in the world, mother or not. We ask a lot of girls; to be mothers, executives, cooks...Girls have to take care of themselves!

The biggest trend of all for this season are Statement Jewellery; And the bigger the better. Whether costume, designer or fine jewellery this season size does matter.

2. Bold Cuffs (still holding strong).

3. Pearl Necklaces, long, or short roll out those fab Swarovski pearls or freshwater pearls and mix them up as you wish!

5. Long Earrings , for an instant drama. The bigger the better!

6. Bold rings .Whether gemstone, gold or silver the Big rock still going strong!

And remeber, there is nothing wrong with pairing fine and costume jewellery this season or mixing multiple metal colors – gold, white gold, silver . Go for it.

Architect Frank Gehry Designs Jewelry for Tiffany & Co

noreply@blogger.com (Sonia Rimmel) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:41:00 +0000

Frank Gehry’s buildings are widely known and celebrated worldwide, with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain taking a large piece of the credit for that city’s newly achieved prominence on the world stage.

Although designing a line of jewelry for Tiffany & Co. might seem odd at first, the pairing turned out a success. Gehry often designs the preliminary ideas for his buildings in messy, rough sketches, eventually transformed into buildable models by his staff, and the process was likely similar for the jewelry. Tiffany describes most of his pieces as containing an “inner energy” and the label certainly fits when Gehry’s jewelry is contrasted with what you’d normally find in a Tiffany’s store.
