jones5 540x351 Genevieve Jones Accessories Collection

I have been seeing Genevieve  Jones in magazines for quite some time now.  I’m the gal who reads the small captions of who’s who in all the fashion publications.  Nonetheless the news of Ms. Jones’ collections made its way through  the media with very few images. I just took a look the newly launched  Genevieve Jones  accessories collection which comprises of jewelry with an ocean  inspirations  and very detailed  rings that totally won me over. The  bags,  I  had to take a minute to admire as they are simple yet very  sleek and refined.   A closer look at my favorite pieces on the next page.

Heidi Maris Jiline Sander, via Zimbio

When  news spread that Fast Retailing ’s Uniqlo tapped jil Sander, the woman  to create a collection launching this fall, the perception was that Uniqlo was collaborating with the Jil Sander label,  designed by Raf Simons since 2005. The apparel will   be  labeled  Heidi Maris Jiline Sander, since Jil Sander  AG owns the rights to   Ms. Sander’s label and trademark.  What really matters  in the end,   is the actual designer and her undeniable talent and aesthetic. That is one collection I might have to wait on line for. ..via Telegraph.

When brands like Pucci, Balmain and Lanvin are turning out edgy rocker chick looks on their runways, I always wondered if  the originators of these luxury icons would agree. Nina Ricci who brought us l’air du temps and a decidedly feminine aesthetic,  launched a handbag  available this fall,   from what we can see  these  are a good classic reflection of what we remember Nina Ricci to be. A few more looks on the next page.
