Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk & Couture
Book Launch at Colette
Saturday March 6th, 4pm – 6pm

To mark the launch of Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture, author Maia Adams will be signing copies of her new book at Colette during Paris Fashion Week. To accompany this event, there will be an exhibition of one-off jewellery pieces specially created for Colette by the jewellers featured in the book.

Colette will be the exclusive stockists of Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture until the book’s international release on March 22nd. This event is therefore an opportunity to see and own it before anyone else!

As the first book to explore this exciting field, Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture contains in-depth profiles of 33 international jewellers, as well as details of their collaborations with leading fashion designers including Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.

Packed with original interviews, the book also features specially commissioned photos and never-seen-before sketches from the likes of Jordan Askill, Alexis Bittar, Erickson Beamon, Judy Blame, Bless, Lara Bohinc, Natalia Brilli, Delfina Delttrez, Florian, Husam el Odeh and Scott Wilson to name a few…

Colette and Maia have co-invited a selection of the jewellers featured in Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture to each create a single piece of jewellery to be displayed, and sold, at Colette. If you’ve ever wanted to own a truly unique piece of jewellery, this is your opportunity to get your hands on a one-off work by some of the most creative designers working today.

Coming this month is a special edition book about fashion “enfant extraordinaire” the Belgian born fashion designer Olivier Theyskens. Published by Assouline, this book is a wonderful photography essay by Julien Claessens, accompanied with a text by Sally Singer, the fashion news and features director for the US edition of Vogue.

“When he was twenty, Olivier Theyskens dropped out of design school to create his first collection. Within the next year, Women’s Wear Daily head­lined his “Star Quality,” Harper’s Bazaar christened him an “Instant Icon,” and The New York Times singled out his work in coverage of the Metro­politan Museum’s Costume Institute, where it was already enshrined. That Winter, Madonna wore Theyskens to the Oscars.

The Alexander McQueen sale has opened… on www.alexandermcqueen.com

Browsing through ideas and potential christmas goodies, we came accross the most puzzling and therefore original high luxury accessory, “Cute at the table”… a Tach creation exclusively available from Tach shops in London and Russia, where the brand comes from.

Tach’s Cute At The Table comes bejewelled with diamonds, solid gold, platinum or simply stainless steel. The design can be chosen from a wide selection or can be bespoke.
Still, its streamlined shape left us wondering what it is: a luxury usb key, a lighter, a cigarette roller… perhaps a whistle? Imagination was buzzing full mode. The lovely PR lady came to help us solve the mystery. The enigmatic device unfolds to provide a hook, to hold your bag to the edge of a table…
Now your favourite bag will be kept from hanging dangerously from the back of your chair or resting on the floor, leaving it away from potential damages. Ingenious and stylish. For the bag lover who loves diamonds (a girl’s best friend, especially the one with an arm candy)
