 2006 Design Innovation Award WinnersEight of the best jewellery designers have been awarded the prestigious Design Innovation Award with the winning pieces showcased at International Jewellery London.This year, in tune with its increasing maturity, the Design Innovation Award has been judged under a new two-part system which recognises designers with more than five year's experience (Established Designers) and those with less than five years (Emerging Designers). This continues to strengthen the Award's intention to encourage young designers, but gives place to those who have been working for a longer period. Both categories yielded exciting and innovative work, proving once again that jewellery designers in the UK are leading the world. The winners were selected by a distinguished panel of eight judges including renowned jewellery designer Stephen Webster, Gary Williams of Bien Passionate Jewellery (B&N), Ruth Donaldson from the Platinum Guild International, Fraser King from sponsoring company Lonmin, Nick Fitch from Nicholas James, Lee Southey from The National Magazine Company, Jyoti Trivedi of Johnson Matthey and Nicole Cooper, publisher of the Platinum Collection. The eight winners will receive their award at a lavish ceremony at London's modern hotel design icon, The Hempel. more www.the... (1,021) added by Jigs |
 Fashion Gropes for a FutureToward the end of Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel show on Friday morning in Paris, several models appeared on the runway with pills of all shapes and sizes seemingly spilling down the fronts of their black chiffon minidresses.Pills were also strung along the gold chain handles of those famous quilted bags. It was just one small detail in a chic show, but somehow in this lackluster fashion season it resonated. Has fashion come to this: A medical emergency? At the spring 2007 collections, questions seemed to plague the posse of journalists, buyers and hangers-on who follow the biannual fashion romp through New York City, London, Milan and Paris: Who is driving fashion forward? Who is providing an idea inspirational, catchy and new enough to get people excited about getting dressed? Where is fashion going to go? more www.tim... (386) added by Levent OZLER |

 Georg Jensen Autumn Winter 2006 2007 Jewelry CollectionThe Autumn-Winter 2006/2007 jewelry collection reveals new designs in 18 carat gold with colored semi-precious stones and diamonds.A recent collection is also reinterpreted in sterling silver giving it an alluring expression. The men's collection sees the reintroduction of some retro-classic cufflinks from some of the company's most prominent designers of the last 50 years. Created by Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe, the Savannah collection was conceived while Vivianna had her studio in the lush tropical island nation of Indonesia. The lushness of the grasslands and rainforests coupled with the purity of light and color acted as an inspiration for many of her collections from this time. The collection captures these natural elements through the brilliant warmth of the 18 carat gold and the fluid craftsmanship of the form. To add intrigue and depth to the design, a buff-cut stone in either citrine or smokey quartz has been added. The cut of the stone creates a kaleidoscope effect when light transcends the jewelry. The Savannah collection consists of drop earrings, ring and long necklace with a delicate pendant. more Georg Jensen Autumn Winter 2006 2007 Jewelry Collection added by Senay TOPCUOGLU |
