Tightly Woven
My wrist has never felt so naked. It serves me right for going back through my emails from Vivre. Blammo! Here is this beauty staring up at me like my long lost best friend. And the product description does nothing to sate my (now newly awakened) need for this bracelet. It begins like a novel, "Like a luminous molten lattice..." or a J. Peterman catalogue.
This woven beauty is by Kara Ross, gemologist and designer of jewelry and handbags. I'll be darned if she isn't just the cutest thing you've ever seen. In case you don't know her luxury brand, she won the FGI Rising Star Accessories Award in 2008.
I'll admit, I didn't know anything about her until I chased down this bracelet. But I love her style philosophy:
What do you think your pieces to communicate to those who wear them? What story do they tell?
I think that my pieces communicate modern elegance with an appreciation for the past and the world around me. Every where I go, foreign or domestic, I try and explore vintage stores, flea markets, bazaars (if they have any), and museums. Fashion to me is about incorporating all that I see and enjoy.
How do you imagine the woman that wears your collections?
A woman with an independent and unique sense of style, classic yet willing to take risks and stand out.
Makes me want that lovely molten latticework piece even more. For more on Kara, check out kararossny.com. I'm betting you'll soon be a fan as well.
