The combination of the holidays and a busy time at work have diminished my interest in fashion to almost none. This happens every so often and when I get into these fashion funks I find myself drawn to the more crafty, DIY side of fashion. One crafty trend I've spotted for spring that has peaked my fashion interest is, as Who What Wear calls it, the bib necklace. These crafty necklaces have been spotted in various places throughout the web from the avante-garde fashion photography of Todd Norwood at Calikartel (above top), to Anna Kathrin Rohr's Copy of an Imitation collection (above bottom left), to the Spring 2009 runway at Marc by Marc Jacobs (above bottom right).

These photos have inspired me to create my own crafty bib necklaces, however, if you find yourself lacking in the DIY department, head over to the Necklush store on Supermarket. Pictured below are just a couple examples of the "necklushes" they have for sale. "These free-form loops are multifunctional too, you can use your Necklush as a necklace or scarf or possibly a headband. Most of the necklushes are cut cotton jersey material, and a few are with poly. We screenprint designs on to our necklushes, making the multicolored ones very limited!"

Designer Style: Erin Kleinberg

July 23, 2010

Thanks to my newest issue of American Elle for introducing me to fashion designer Erin Kleinberg. Pictured here are shots from her Fall 2010 Lookbook featuring Annabelle Dexter-Jones, younger sister to Mark, Samantha and Charlotte Ronson. The clothes look so cozy but at the same time ready to wear to dinner, a night out, the beach, etc etc etc. And I love the touches of velvet which seem to move the casual sportswear to more luxury pieces with a relaxed, hippie vibe.

From the designer:

Launched in the Summer of 2008, erinkleinberg was created in an attempt to bridge a gap in the marketplace with a collection of semi-couture tanks, tees, cardigans, and novelty pieces.

With past experience at W Magazine, working under the guidance of Alex White, Kleinberg’s entrepreneurship and love of design were the driving forces behind her namesake line. Recognizing her design aesthetic from the get-go, Barneys New York picked up her very first collection and have since been strong supporters of her brand.

With an eco-friendly twist and hand-sewn beading and embellishments, Kleinberg seeks to provide the ultimate in luxury, yet still maintains the predominance of comfort embedded throughout her line.
