JOOR: What are your aesthetic influences?

Kimberly Ovitz: I studied art history and architecture at Brown, which broadened the platform to which I draw inspiration. I am also inspired by simple beauties in everyday life.

JOOR: What designers do you admire most?

Kimberly Ovitz: I love the old school minimal classic designers as well as Japanese and Belgian designers, BUT I wouldn’t say they influence my work, I just greatly admire the work they do.

JOOR: What is SS13 based upon?

Kimberly Ovitz: I took away buzz words such as nomad, ritual, and create your own mythology. From there I did research. I used a lot of raw edges and nomadic spirited fabrics. Prints that seemed ritualistic in nature, etc.

I then came across the work of Kazakhstani performance artist, Almagul Manlibayeva. She creates fictional imagery that is spiritual and ritualistic looking, not pertaining to any specific religion. I felt she provokes one to create their own mythology and I thought that was a really empowering message that I wanted to express.

JOOR: What’s your favorite look from the collection?

Kimberly Ovitz: Look #13 from the spring runway. I feel mesh is such a modern fabric and printed with this “streak” print gives the simple silhouette a feminine edge.

Luv AJ jewelry designer, Amanda Thomas, founded her company when she was just 16 years old after an internship with an Abbot Kinney jeweler evolved in to a full-fledged love affair with design.

“One day when I was in Fred Segal, one of the jewelry buyers complimented my necklace and I told her I had made it. Fred Segal picked up my line my junior year of high school in 2004.”

What makes Luv AJ’s line stand out is Amanda’s carefree, attitude toward fashion— a bio on her website proclaims her desire to “to adorn the whole world in bad ass bling.”

The line is comprised of trend-forward jewelry that counts celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens, Whitney Port and Nicole Richie among its fans.

Find Luv AJ at Revolve, Shopbop, Fred Segal and on JOOR.

jooreditor — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:20:00 -0400

Ted Rossi’s brightly colored stacking bangles and cuffs have graced the pages of editorial spreads from Teen Vogue to Marie Claire. And this coming year, his accessories will adorn Gwen Stefani on her reunion tour with No Doubt. Below, the designer chats with JOOR about the making of TR jewelry.

JOOR: What gap in the market were you looking to fill with Ted Rossi?

Ted Rossi: In 2001, I relocated to NYC from LA after accepting a position with a new company. Soon after, 9/11 occurred, and just like every New Yorker, life changed forever that day. I then lost my job due to company downsizing, and my perspective on my future, as well as my careers goals, seemed to take a new direction.

Out of sheer boredom, I started cutting up one of my partner’s suede belts and making bracelets from it. Friends started noticing the bracelets and asked to buy them from me. So, I started purchasing leathers from the Garment District and creating bracelets with more advanced designs.

A friend, working for an accessory wholesale showroom, spotted the bracelets and asked to present some samples to the showroom owner. Immediately, I was signed on, and DKNY was my first wholesale customer.

JOOR: What is your aesthetic philosophy when it comes to accessories?

My aesthestic philosophy is to “mix it up”. There really are no rules when it comes to fashion anymore. I didn’t attend a traditional fashion school like Parsons or FIT, so I always say “I didn’t drink the fashion school cool-aid”. Early on, I was an accessory renegade of sort because I was mixing all sorts of media that buyers found exciting and fresh. The largest response occurred when I started embellishing the exotic skins, in particular the python skins, with Swarovski Elements. The combination of the two media is almost magical, and it has now become a signature element of the Ted Rossi Collection.

JOOR: Ted Rossi has garnered a huge celebrity following since its inception. What do you feel it is about your line that keeps A-lister coming back?

Ted Rossi: When I started out, I was one of the few jewelry lines that used leathers strictly as its primary raw material. The collection was vastly different from those of my contemporaries, which were mostly metal, semi-precious stone, etc. centric. So, stylists and celebrities latched onto it from the start. And, once you start trends + continue to hit trends, they all want the original brand, so that keeps them coming back to TR.

JOOR: What of all the fabulous women you’ve worked with has been the most fun to outfit?

Ted Rossi: I just sent some custom jewelry to Gwen Stefani’s stylists for her upcoming NoDoubt Tour. Not only was I beyond honored to design jewelry for one of the most influential music + style icons of my generation, it was so much fun work outside the box of our main Collection to use materials and to develop styles that are in line Gwen’s unique orange county-ska rock persona. The result was quite cool, and I am excited to see how it turns out on stage!!!
