Alaïa Launches a New, Sexy Denim Line
Fans of Alaïa take note: the French house, known for its sensual and feminine designs is adding a new denim collection to the mix. Thought as a second skin, the silhouette is defined by its defined waist and sculpted hips that molds to the wearer’s body. Designed to serve all types of bodies, the line comes in six different cuts: bootcut, palazzo, fit and flare, round, skinny, and straight. With “the Perfect Fit” in mind, these Japanese crafted jeans made with a deep indigo textile will hold, shape, and follow every curve.
Jewelry That Offers Celestial Energy
In case you haven’t noticed, everyone’s obsessed with space at the moment. On that note comes Jessica McCormack’s Orbital collection, a testament of astrological science and the equilibrium of the universe. Built on the jeweler’s signature Ball N Chain designs, this new lineup adds a modern yet ethereal component to the designer’s work. With an array of rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and pendants, they feature exceptional gemstones from delicate lilac jade to a singular star sapphire. If you seek inner harmony, head to the brand’s Madison Avenue townhouse and see them in all their sparkling glory.
Spring has Sprung with Ginori 1735
Florals for spring? In the case of Ginori 1735, it’s a perfect fit for the beloved Italian porcelain brand. Their newest collection, Florenza, like its name implies, is filled with dreamy, delicate blooms in shades of white, green, yellow, and pink. To celebrate, the brand hosted an intimate event at New York City’s Il Buco. With the theme “The Unframed Garden”, the beloved restaurant’s warm and woody interiors served as the ideal backdrop for a table set with plates and bowls in the shades Verde Acanto and Rosa Malva. Of course, real flowers were also necessary, as created by Alex Crowder of Field Studies Florals, with branches of azalea, spirea, quince, cherry, and plum naturally emerging across the space.
