Op Art Revisited

Last year Michael Kors introduced his seriously retro, op art 60's fashions and it seems like some of the European designers are continuing the trend this fall.

 

For fall Dries Van Noten's graphic tee with contrasting silk skirt is a perfect example of 60's graphics.

 

 

I also love Dries Van Noten's interpretation of 60's mod in this stunning coat with graphic shirt to boot!

 

 

Looks like Kenzo also picked up on this look by pairing a gorgeous graphic tee with a bold floral pant.

 

 

And then Kenzo took it a step further by showing graphic on graphic and accessorizing it with even more.

 

 

 

Wondering if inspiration may have come from something as simple as this garden gate.

 

Whatever the source, it looks like its a style worth noting!

Talk About Eco Friendly!

At the heart of my jewelry brand is the ethic to be both charitable and eco friendly. As you may know, I have been repurposing jewelry components in my work for years, but only in the past year have I added shed antlers to the mix.

 

It all started when I met Jerry, my source for shed antlers in all shapes and sizes. Jerry has been foraging the woods for the last 40 years looking for antlers shed by elk, caribou, deer, and moose. He is my resident expert on all things made from animal horn.

 

He is literally filled up to the rafters in all types of buckhorn.

I'm not exaggerating! You can see why I was so thrilled to add Jerry to my worldly production team.

With tools in motion, we have planned some interesting new concepts to add to the line in 2015. Stay tuned to see what we have up our sleeves. Our new designs will feature our signature style of using unexpected combinations of materials. Expect the unexpected!
