I’ve been so focused on tracking down jewelry designer Delfina Delletrez based solely on the merit of her designs, which juxtapose whimsy with darkness and irony with beauty. And now I’m learning that she’s an offspring of the Fendi family, fourth-generation Italian. The proverbial apple surely does not fall far from the tree in the style and impact of these designs. Impeccable! Unique and edgy but timeless. We need her in the Talisman Collection

Had a fun dinner in Las Vegas with designer Rebecca Michaels. Rebecca, a Los Angeles-based designer, hails from my hometown, Central Pennsylvania. Given her sartorial savoir faire, I never would have guessed it.
Wholesale rep firm extraordinaire, Positively Ewe, brought us together. Rebecca, not only with her designs, but also with her engaging and sparkling personality, spreads happiness and beauty wherever she goes. A former engineer, these designs meld high intellect with esoteric beauty from the inside-out. It’s fitness wear for the future. Watch for her name. She’s spreading beauty far and wide with colors, shapes and comfort.
What’s not to love about an Azurite Headband?
Not to mention some really special yoga and resort wear.

Having just come back from two months of spring shows, and about to leave for more spring fashion and design shows, including Coterie, we’re having a good time seeing what colors wholesale buyers are running toward, vs. what trend-spotters are saying.
Buyers are crazy for white this season. Especially white jewelry. The trend-spotters are on-target with predictions for orange, yellow, navy and lilac. But one super-trend they appear to be missing is emerald green, both in fashion and jewelry. We’re so happy to see that this color is back. Dove grey, cement, concrete, and other hues of light grey hopping in the neutrals category, as are nude colors of light pinks and light beigy-browns. Bright turquoise/aqua blue is also a standout color this season in both fashion and jewelry.
Black, everyone’s favorite safety color, never seems to be a bad choice. There’s lots of interesting black jewelry coming out for spring/summer 2012, with both bold and delicate stylizing.
Yellow gold has the edge this season in jewelry trends, far moreso than white gold and silver. Although, silver and white gold jewelry really looks great with the light neutral greys and whites. Pink/rose gold is all over the place. We’ll see more and more of it this year.
