Glitterati: Jessica Hicks

Who knew that swiss cheese could be luxe? Nantucket-based jewelry designer Jessica Hicks did. She allowed her husband to name her Lorraine jewelry line after Lorraine swiss cheese, because all the piercing and holes in her pieces reminded him of it.

Her actual jewelry inspiration lies outside the realm of cheese; rather, she finds solace in the shape of a leaf or the outline of a giraffe print. She is, however, fascinated by holes, and loves the fact that you can see through her jewelry. There must be something to that notion, because Jessica has garnered herself fans in SJP, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria...and me too!

Jessica Hicks jewelry runs $80-$800 and is available at JessJewels.com.

Sneak Peek! Roberto Cavalli at H&M!

November 8 may be a ways away, but the first photos of Roberto Cavalli's collection for H&M are already making an appearance. These specific pieces are a bit more toned down than I was expecting from Mr. Cavalli - there's no zebra print to be seen yet - but there is the requisite leopard-bibbed shirt, and a giraffe jacket can be seen in the background.

There's also a great little black trench, and Cavalli accessorizes with cigar hanging out of his mouth: all the better to work with, I guess! These pictures will have to satiate my curiosity for now, but hopefully more will leak soon...

Well-tamed Animal Prints

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 14:32:00 -0700

Every couple of years, the fashion world declares that animal prints are "in," and each time, I just can't seem to embrace the look. No matter how pricey the animal prints are, they always end up looking like something you'd wear to a Mississippi casino. One exception: This season's animal-print shoes and handbags from Donald J. Pliner. The designs use leopard and giraffe patterns sparingly and temper them with edgy red and black leather accents for a hip, urban effect.
