Art Deco Is Alive and Well
I’ve recently read that Art Deco is dead, but I could not disagree more. Lately, it’s been one of my biggest inspirations.
In fact, I recently did a collection for W Hotels the Store’s “Global Glam” program, and Art Deco was the main theme. The pieces I designed were inspired by old Hollywood glamour, and featured deep crimson reds, jet black, sparkling silver, and smoky grays - a color palette perfect for a screen siren. Think Veronica Lake.
Here’s a sneak peak of a few of the pieces:
Deco Cuff featuring red silk and chain-embroidered tulle covered gems
Deco Fan Earrings
Deco Chain Necklace embroidered with large gems and cascading chain loops
This collection will be featured exclusively at the W Hotels this spring, so be on the lookout for it, and bring out your inner movie star!
