TOM BINNS-Modern Day Anarchy


CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year Tom Binns's jewelry blends Dynasty glamour with modern day chic...just ask Michelle Obama.  The twisted effect of crystals mixed with pearls, chains, etc. result in show stopping pieces that will transform even the most simple of looks.  Beginning his revolutionary career in 1981, Tom Binns was and remains inspired by the early twentieth century Dada movement, the main theme of which includes deliberate irrationality, anarchy, and the rejection of standard beauty and social organization. Tom Binns has finally opened a 300 square feet jewel box of a store on Perry Street in New York, showcasing his stunning collection.

J'AIME ISABEL MARANT

There are few designers that epitomize Parisian chic quite like Isabel Marant. Her s/s 2010 collection does not disappoint and is full of must have classics that I am dying to add to my wardrobe. Finding stores that stock the elusive collection in Los Angeles can turn into a virtual wild goose chase and I have bumped into many like minded angelenos on the hunt. Time will tell how the opening of the first US store in NYC this Spring will affect the madness. I'm booking my plane ticket now!
