The Inspiration Board: The Lookbook Video:

PLTNYC: Pyramids F/W 2011 Collection from Pretty Little Thing NYC on Vimeo.

Creating a new collection is always really exciting and sometimes really scary. I think every designer can relate to that uneasy feeling that the ideas will stop, and that creativity will cease. But inspiration can happen at random moments, and then things come together... For this collection, inspiration struck by watching a movie: Cleopatra, a true classic, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. I mean, what's not to love about this one?! The costumes (the jewelry!), the cinematography, that beautiful dusty pink color of old films, and of course the beauty of Ms. Taylor and the story behind her real life romance with Burton, which began during filming. All these themes came together in this collection, but with a 2o11 twist: statement pieces that can be worn with t-shirts or party dresses, mixed metals, different textures, and little bit of polish and edge. I wanted to capture the mood of the collection with the new lookbook video, filmed at the historic Egyptian Theater in LA. It was like coming full circle; the perfect way to wrap up this collection. I hope you enjoy it!

Must Read

2010-10-25T16:57:00.004-04:00

From the NY Times: "For legions of Rolling Stones fans, Keith Richards is not only the heart and soul of the world’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band, he’s also the very avatar of rebellion: the desperado, the buccaneer, the poète maudit, the soul survivor and main offender, the torn and frayed outlaw, and the coolest dude on the planet, named both No. 1 on the rock stars most-likely-to-die list and the one life form (besides the cockroach) capable of surviving nuclear war."

Retail Ad-Venture

2010-10-23T16:35:00.007-04:00

For the past year I've been splitting my time between East Coast/West Coast and PLT/DNA-- and things just got a little more interesting! My DNA business partner and I are now co-currating an amazing new retail/art/event space called The Common in San Francisco along with the guys from Taylor Stitch. Together we've hand picked our favorite lines of men's and women's clothes and accessories all designed and produced in the USA. Our lines are: "Centered around fine craftsmanship, and an educated aesthetic, traditional in tendency, contemporary in conduct." The space also houses a beautiful, adjacent gallery with a bar and a stage for live music. We're putting together an amazing calendar of art shows, concerts, shopping parties, movie screenings, and special events. For an incredible one-stop retail and cultural experience, please visit us at: 1077 Mission Street (x7th Street) SF.

Today!

2010-08-03T20:00:00.006-04:00

We've had some really great editorial pulls and special requests recently and a couple of them came out this week! Our Snakeskin Lucite Hoop Earrings were featured on the Today Show this morning during a special Daily Candy segment featuring "Fun Fall Jewelry Under $50". The earrings are from the Serpents and Rainbow collection and they are perfect for summer or fall looks. I'm actually working on some new color options for this style, so if anyone has any color suggestions--let me know! Check out the segment from the show here. Also this week, The Review Connection wrote a nice piece on PLT: how it started, what inspires the line, and editor "reviews" of some of our most popular styles. They sent me a looong list of questions for the article so it was cool to see it all come together. Now, back to Fall 2010 sample production and Spring 2011 designs. Eeek!

A Beautiful Life

2010-07-20T16:40:00.003-04:00

I checked out the Dennis Hopper exhibit, Double Standard, at MOCA while in LA this weekend. It was an amazing collection of sculptures, paintings, photography, and film by the late actor/artist. The photos were my favorite as they captured all the interesting people, places and eras of Hopper's life. (T-B): Biker Couple, 1961; Irving Blum and Peggy Moffitt, 1964; Double Standard, 1961; Jane Fonda (with Bow and Arrow),1965; Self Portrait, 1962.

Viva Givenchy

2010-07-08T01:45:00.003-04:00

This is probably THE most beautiful collection I've ever seen. The Frida Kahlo references ("Her three obsessions: religion, sensuality, and... the human anatomy") are beautifully interpreted and the intricate craftsmanship is breathtaking. Riccardo Tisci is a genius. (Givenchy Fall 2010 Couture via Style.com)

Some recent favorite acquisitions: The stars in the top pic are 80's Escada (!) clip-ons. I've been wearing the blue and gold v-neck choker with everything including t-shirts and party dresses. The hand-painted brass elephant cuff has also been getting lots of wear, and the geometric earrings on the bottom with the "confetti" effect are so amazing, the picture doesn't do them justice. The rest of the pieces are the icing on the cake. All circa 60's-80's.

Last week my friend and I were deep into a Soprano's dvd marathon. By the time season 6 rolled around I was "schooled" on the amazingness of David Chase and the genius that was this show. I mean, i loved it the first time around but reading THIS took it to another level. Blew. My. Mind. (Link is long but soooo worth it).

Early Spring Arrival!! We've created a really cute and very sweet necklace exclusively for one of our favorite online stores: Moxsie. Besides having a super cool name (fun fact: Pretty Little Thing was this close to being called Moxie at one point!) the online store offers an amazing selection of designers AND contributes a portion of every sale to a charitable organization. The Flying Swallow Necklace is perfect for Spring as it will look great with t-shirts and summer dresses. Get it here, and check out the rest of the designers at Moxsie for major guilt-free shopping.

We're taking a break from the arctic NYC winter and spending some time in warm and sunny California working on our next DNA (designers+artists) Pop-Up Shop at Space 15Twenty in Looooos Angeleeeees! PLT will of course be selling all of our favorite and most popular pieces as well as a Spring 2010 sneak peak. Check out our DNA blog for more info on the event and for the latest in fashion, art and shopping from coast to coast. We've got a twitter too-- keep up and check us out!! UPDATE: We also have a flickr. Check out some pics from this event here.

We're 5!!

2009-12-22T03:07:00.010-05:00

Yes, PLT is 5 this week and I can't believe how quickly time has flown! 5 years ago around this time I had just started to sell a very small collection to a couple of boutiques in my neighborhood-- Shop (which sadly, closed this summer) was one of them. After being there for only a week or so, I got a call from one of the Shop girls letting me know that an editor at Daily Candy had seen my jewelry there and that they were running a feature on me. To say I was shocked is an understatement. Above is that first press hit and as they say-- "the rest is history". Thanks to everyone for their support through the years: customers, boutique owners, buyers, editors, bloggers, friends and fam!

Three's A Trend

2009-11-09T22:45:00.006-05:00

The Mix Metal Earrings from our current collection, Concrete Jungle have emerged as clear editor favorites appearing in three magazines recently. They were featured in Life & Style a couple of weeks ago and you'll find them again in the December issues of Lucky and Cosmopolitan out now. These earrings were created in about 15 minutes as I was rushing to get ready for a party and couldn't find any earrings to wear. I made them for myself but got so many compliments on them that night (and any time I wear them), that I decided to add them to the collection at the last minute. I think their appeal is that they're bold and pretty and look great with casual or evening looks as seen in the two different fashion stories above.

POP!

A few weeks ago over drinks at a Fashion Week event, my friend Myra and I were talking about how the shopping scene has changed in NYC since the emergence of Pop-Up Shops, and how this fresh and innovative concept has kept a lot of young designers and entrepreneurs afloat in these unstable economic times. Not only have pop-ups helped to stimulate our economy, but they've also introduced consumers to a fun and interesting way to shop again that will likely stick around for many years to come. Myra and I are both somewhat bi-coastal, so we decided to bring a little New York flavor to the Pop-Up Shop concept on the west coast, where the trend is just starting to catch on. Hence our brand new venture: DNA (designers+artists)! We've been busy scouting for fresh and established talent for our grand opening tomorrow in San Francisco, and we've put together a nice group of amazing clothing and accessories designers for our first event. SF has been very welcoming to us and our concept-- Daily Candy and 7x7 (the city's fashion and culture bible) have recently given us nice shout-outs! We hope to bring DNA to Los Angeles in the new year and back to NYC for a little homecoming event. In PLT news: Spring 2010 is looking HOT! Get ready for dangerous heavy metal action. Stayed tuned...

New York, I Love You

A while back I was approached to be a part of a fun and creative promotion behind the upcoming movie New York, I Love You. Needless to say, I was very flattered and excited. The film is about interwoven love stories that take place, where else, in magical and romantic NYC! The stories are told in a series of vignettes with an amazing ensemble cast including: Bradley Cooper, Rachel Bilson, Shia LaBeouf, Orlando Bloom, Natalie Portman, Ethan Hawke and like a million other great actors. Since the movie is all about love, the production company behind it, Vivendi Entertainment, started a contest where people were asked to share their stories of love via essays based on story plots from the movie. The winner gets a great prize package which includes a PLT NY Hearts Me tote! The contest ends Oct. 9th and the movie will be in theaters Oct. 16th. Check out the trailer above.

Taylor Momsen wearing PLT's Rivington Necklace in the streets of NYC on the set of Gossip Girl! Love how she's layered it with pearls and a dainty charm necklace-- it all looks perfect with her simple Tee and leather look. The Rivington Necklace is part of our Mercury Rising collection and comes in two lenghts: 24" and 36" and comes in a bracelet version as well. Taylor's is 36" long and looks awesome just as she's wearing it but can also be wrapped twice around the neck for a shorter, layered look. Also loving?? GG this season-- so good!
