Kate Moss is not only fashion-conscious, she is fashion-crazy, jewelry-crazy I would say! It was reported yesterday that the supermodel had been so taken with a bracelet one of fellow guests at a recent wedding was wearing that she bought it off the woman immediately.
The accessory was the creation of jewellery designer Ann Dexter-Jones. It was the black onyx, black diamond, solid gold and silver bauble.
Kate wasn’t confident enogh to ask about the bracelet herself, she asked her friend and boss – billionaire retailer and head of Topshop Sir Philip Green – to purchase the piece she wanted so eagerly. So, Ann was offered a large sum of money for the accessory plus Kate was ready to give away her own Chanel bracelet.
Ann Dexter-Jones commented:
She was so crazy to wear it so Sir Philip Green insisted Kate have it immediately and bought it for her right off my wrist. And Kate gave me her Chanel bracelet as a gift, so that my wrist wasn’t bare.”
Ann’s line of now-famous jewelry will debut soon.

Amber Le Bon is eager to become a fashion photographer after her modelling career ends.
The English model knows that her perfect looks won’t be forever with her and people might lose interest in her personality either. So being able to do something else to earn good money and, what is more important, find it exciting, is essential.
The daughter of supermodel Yasmin and Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon admits she likes taking pictures so much that it can be her future job.
She said:
I know modelling is not a lifelong career, and because I so love taking pictures of people I think my future is going to be as a photographer.”
The 20-year-old is very successful as a model at the moment. She has walked runways for Moschino and British store River Island and plans to continue working in this sphere until she is called-for.
Photography is just Amber’s hobby and the girl hasn’t developped any professional skills yet. But being a model helps her to understand some techniques that would be useful in her future work.
She told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper:
I am learning a lot about the work on the other side of the camera. I am constantly getting practical experience, although I haven’t studied it technically.”
Amber’s mother, British Iranian model Yasmin, keeps working in fashion industry. It has recently been revealed that she is planning to launch her own fashion line under the collaboration with British store Wallis. The collection will include clothing and jewellery.

This girl is really unpredictable. She can be elegant and sophisticated, sexy and flamboyant, and even cute and funny.
Rihanna amazed us again wearing a pair of safety pins through her ears when arriving at Heathrow airport. It’s something we could never expect from a world-known singer. Well, it looks funny.
Rihanna was wearing a long oversized sweater, jeans and a white T-shirt – very casual and comfortable style. And she hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses though it was late.

Jewelry can be different: not only those beautiful artsy pieces we see in designer collections but also something more impressive and ‘architectural’.
I guess you’ve never seen anyting like this before. Neither have I.
This jewelry is the mix of architecture and fashion by a creative DJ Joshua DeMonte. I’m not sure the pieces are wearable but you can try.
One thing is sure – no one will look as eccentric as you!
I wonder what it’s like wearing a staircase around your neck. Tell me what you think of the pieces at the photos.

Lanvin Spring/Summer 2010 collection is super-chic and super-innovative. Alber Elbaz was able to surprise us again.
The collection was presented at Paris Fashion week and includes lots of fabulous dresses, with frills and flounces, coming in black, red and pink colors. Luxury but simple designs were soon substituted with sumptuous drapery and layers.
Fabrics looked rich: leather, poliester, chiffon, satin, organza, etc. When combined together they made the outfits unforgettable.
Leather dresses were absolutely impressive. I imagine how much work was needed to make those beautiful layers and knots. Lots of outfits were embellished with gemstones and sequins adding glamour and femininity.
Accessory line was amazing. The first thing that attracted my attention was the size and number of jewelry piece each model was wearing.
Lots of massive stones, interlacing chains and metallic details were on girls’ necks.

Sometimes the statement that the best friends of women are diamonds can be true, especially if it’s Tiffany & Co. who make those diamonds so fabulous-looking in jewelry.
I have never seen keys so beautiful before. Of course no one would use them for locking and unlocking doors, there can be another way to make such keys useful. For instance, they can become perfect pendants.
Tell me: how will you use the diamond key like that?

We have already written that Alicia Keys is working on a jewelry collection. Now we have new interesting details revealed.
The pieces will be inscribed with poetry and prayers, the singer says.
The girl decided she needed to put her creativity into something else beside music. She has teamed up with the designer Gisele Theriault to make a collection of necklaces that is to become available next year.
She said:
I fell in love with the individuality of the pieces, but more than that, the words that were written on them really resonated with the songwriter in me. I knew at that moment, for the first time, that through a whole other medium I would be able to spread inspiration and that’s what got me started.”
Alicia’s jewelry collection will range from $85 to $2,500.
Gisele was excited about the work as the girls found a “beautiful harmony with each other”.

The Kardashians have tried themselves in jewellery designing. The three famous sisters, who have recently created a clothing line for Bebe, are being busy working on a jewellery collection for Virgins, Saints and Angels.
The line is named The Kardashian Collection and includes braceletts, earrings, rings and necklaces – all ‘romantic’, ‘edgy’ and ‘classic vintage’.
The preview pictures of the collection feature a large cuff bracelet, a cross brooch, a multichain necklace, and a set of hoop earrings with dangerous-looking spikes on them.
Kim wrote on her blog:
I am sooo excited to tell you guys about our jewelry collection! Kourt, Khloe and I have designed our own collection for Virgins Saints and Angels. The collection embraces our unique style…. Romantic, edgy, and classic vintage… or at least we hope so. Our Armenian culture is very important to us and we tried to incorporate that in the jewelry also.”
Khloe commented:
It’s inspired by our Armenian culture and each piece tells a story. We’re all really into fashion so it was cool having the opportunity to gain experience on the creative end of this project.”
The collection will go on sale on April 15 at boutiques including Blue Bee in Santa Barbara, Sparkle Fred Segal, Nordstrom and Ylang 23 in Dallas. But you’ll be able to see it earlier as it’s going to premiere at Project 2010 in February.
