Jian of London’s Stardust press launch – gemstones, manicures and cupcakes!
Last Thursday saw the glorious launch of Jian of London’s stunning Stardust jewellery collection in the sumptuous surroundings of Four London’s beautiful Conduit Street Salon. This event combined exquisite jewellery with a host of pampering treats and lashings of champagne, canapes and cupcakes. The event was to showcase the stunning jewellery designs of Jane Massie and Jian of London before the official launch in September. I had a chance to be properly introduced to the brand, which only launched in the UK three years ago. Jane explained to me that previous to this, she had lived in the USA, and that she had found the UK market to be quite…

Jian of London Stardust Collection – one word – WOW!
September will see the launch of Jian of London’s eagerly awaited Stardust Collection. This is an amazing array of beautiful luxury gem set jewellery that is so innovative in its design, it has already been awarded with an International Jewellery London special editors award for technical excellence, even before its official launch.

Stardust designs use an interesting range of natural gemstones in a multitude of…

They bring the fun into make-up, and from September 3rd, they will be available from Harvey Nichols, Birmingham, when a new Benefit bar is opened. This is great news for all beauty fans. Harvey Nichols already has…

Fred Perry release Amy Winehouse’s posthumous collection.
Fred Perry released the Autumn/Winter 2011 Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry collection on Monday. A statement on their site says that this is with the blessing of Amy’s family, and that royalties and fees from the collection will go to the soon to be established Amy Winehouse foundation. The collection is really poignant, because it is completely, absolutely Amy. You can almost picture her wearing the collection in publicity shots, so close is it to her personal style. This has elements of 1960s mods and ska – think Quadrophenia and Rude boys. The collection is black and white, featuring dog-tooth checks on jumpers, shirts and mini skirts. There are also…
