The athletes were out in force for ESPN’s Espy awards on Sunday, a mostly fun event that gives nods to athletes and teams that stood out the previous year. The ladies showed lots of leg–that’s gorgeous tennis player Maria Sharapova above–while the fellas were all suited up and looking very slick. Though as far as style goes, I hate to say it but the NBA has it all over the NFL!

See Serena (with awesome mani, natch!), Estelle, Lindsey Vonn (who won female athlete of the year), Danica Patrick, Nicole Lyons, Laila Ali, Amare Stoudemire (sans Ciara, guess that’s over) and a few more.

We showed Super Fertile designer Kali Arulpragasam’s latest jewellery collection titled “Murder” (one look featured above) last week and today Stylelist has followed up with an interview with the designer. If you don’t already know, she is the older sister of M.I.A. and in the interview she was asked what her sibling thinks of her work:

What does M.I.A. think of the collection?
I tend to not give my jewels to celebrities, so she usually gets an invoice from me when she wants something. After I released the first images of “Murder” during the first week of June she tweeted it, so I know she approves. I’m experimenting with a new concept which is not to use celebrities to sell my work. I never use celebrities. I must be the only designer to turn down Lady Gaga. I don’t even have a press agent. I’m approaching this as art, my jewelry is wearable art.

Darn! Perhaps not the best of friends those two, but they certain share the commonality of wearing their intensity on their sleeves, a trait which of course we admire greatly.

Enjoy a look a the phenomenal Bijules’ latest project, Amasia as told to Vogue Italia–visually stunning in every way:

“I want to upset the quietness of the gold industry’s ’sacredness,’” explains the designer, introducing her film Amasia – Possible Future Supercontinent After Actual Earth directed by Robert Hamada with art director Guido Callarelli.

“With Amasia I wish to combine the force, at times brutal, of nature, to the purity of jewels. This market segment must reinvent itself all the time to live on and I want to be part of such transformation,” adds Jules Kim, while she explains that to get in the gold industry she has to carve out her space, breaking traditional barriers, beyond all expectations.

“I had the need to tell a story without limitations. For those who create jewelry it’s easier to portray a model wearing the collection,” she says smiling before the unstoppable flow of her film’s images.

The true leading lady of the video is nature, with all its power, uncontaminated and sublime. “Shooting the video in Iceland has been something unforgettable. I had never seen so much beauty,” says the jewelry designer that, despite New York’s schizophrenic rhythms, reveals a deep fascination for that remote island.
“I chose to go beyond people’s expectations, I wished to stimulate their perception with something unexpected so that they will ask themselves who they are and what they will become …”
