Jewellery designer Jules Kim models her latest Bijules creation, conceptual ear art. In this case it’s an ear plug, constructed of twin amethysts that create a buzzing sound when worn. Meanwhile, check out the ever-lovely Kim’s “V-Gap” nail art!
Bijules designer Jules Kim revealed her latest jewellery offerings at a party titled “The Seize Kind,” held at the ultra-plush Gramercy Park Hotel on Friday evening. Waiters displayed her offerings on trays (which one lamp-shaded party attendee was incensed to discover she couldn’t sample!) and like fashion has shifted to brighter dreams so, too, have accessories, as reflected by Kim’s designs–ever original, yet more twinkly and lighter this time around. In the image taken at the event above, that’s galatic beauty Kim on the left, with her down-to-earth-gorgeous friend and design partner (they worked on the swimsuit line Nyked together), Lorenzo Martone.
Just in time for the holiday season our beloved Bijules launches the Glaçons (”icicle” in French) collection, an assortment of sterling silver icicle-inspired pieces. The knuckle ring, we luv! View the collection on the flip, available at Fashionstake.
One of our longstanding faves, accessory designer and artist Bijules‘ gold nipple pastie was among the items used to style SHOWStudio’s fashion film, “The Waist,” part of the site’s Fashion Body series. Directed by photographer Kristian Schuller and filmmaker Marie Schuller, the film also features designs by Viktor & Rolf, Louis Vuitton and Gareth Pugh. See the entire film at SHOWstudio.
Never shy to poke at the edges of darkness, Bijules designer Jules Kim designed this three-hinged ring from a mold of her own finger, and admits, “I wanted it to be a little part of me and it had to be weird. There are conversations to be had about everything I wear or design.” It’s available now on Ahalife, where you can also check out a video interview with Kim on her design process. More images of the ring on the next page. On another note, Kim is accompanying her accessory line on a bit of a world tour. First stop was Paris, which we’re told went well. Through today, you can find her in Bassano, Italia.
Jules Kim, the devilishly delicious designer behind Bijules just launched at collection called BJ by Jules Kim at Urban Outfitters. It features three different bar rings, a pinky ring and a nail ring. Those nail rings are semi-adjustable and fit over the the nail so if you were so inclined you could do a whole set and have quite the solid gold manicure.
While at the 80%20 event last night, one of New York’s most stylish residents, Bijules designer Jules Kim, popped by. When she enters a room, it’s really kind of amazing what happens, she has this sweeping presence and ephemeral beauty that stops everyone in their tracks to the point where people are flat-out staring. I mean just her cheekbones….for days! And yet she’s totally approachable and warm and magically charming. While we were catching up on all the latest, she reached under her top and pulled out her latest creation, a gold nipple plate (!!), which stuns with its original beauty. Not sure when we will see this as part of a collection, but you are definitely getting an advanced view.
Many more images of Jules after the flip, with close-ups on her shoes, bag, and of course those cheekbones.
Last night Jules Kim of Bijules unveiled her Autumn/Winter ‘09 jewelry collection, titled: “The Rock Collection” Instruments Of Pixie Style. The setting was dim lit a loft space, art gallery where the jewels were suspended in illuminated glass vases , allowing the guests to experience their supernatural appeal .
The collection, in true Bijules style is sexy, innovative and of course proves again that Bijules, is always way ahead of many of her contemporaries.
