Browsing through style.com...Chanel spring 2010 RTW collection is a must see...
I was astonished by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld's choice of fabric and ton and tons of fascinating details that he put in every piece of garment and accessories in this collection.
It's like a continuation of his story of AW 2010... A more exciting, young, chic and "No" it's not toned down at all...The story has another climax...
From the riddled holes outfits, mixture of texture using different fabrics - chiffon to tweet, selvedge and rugged even feathered edges etc...

DJ NizaMinx's statement necklaces: Silver Sensation & Seductive Grey

An amazing order from an amazingly talented Dj Niza.
She provided 2 photos of necklaces, as reference and I was given a free will of creativity to turn the original into something special for her.
The 1st necklace is a silver piece:

Original idea is from the above metal and rhinestone necklace... which was not using beading technique.
It's interesting to transform a certain silver jewelry or fine jewelry into beadwork because it's challenging.
I selected a variety of different shapes of metal beads and metal findings, rhinestone beads, silver pearls, rhinestone spacer wheels and  multi color coated glass beads.

Revamp SooChin's Natural Crystals Part I


I have promised my dear friend Soo Chin to design some jewelry for her, and weeks ago, she,handed me a bunch of her "EXPENSIVE" precious natural crystal collection during our dinner session.

I feel so thrill to see those "collector items" which she has been collecting years ago and still keeping them like precious.. I know that some single bracelet cost few thousands  for each.  I'm glad I have the honor to redesign and make them fashionable, special and most important made by me  :).

All 13 natural crystal bracelet has 5 very interesting varieties of Rutiles, 3 Amethyst, 2bStar Rose quartz, 1 Star Garnet, 2 Green Phantoms, and some clear crystal beads which was originally beaded with the rest of the crystals using just elastic cords.

Soo Chin's Natural Crystals collection.

I start with Rutiles... especially the one which are most pricey... There is the Round beads Cat's Eye Golden Rutile bracelets.., Oval Rutiles and I had combined 2 multi color rutile bracelets into one design and decorated the beads with some metal bead caps...

One look at the name of the design, you already know that it's something with flowers.
This set is a combination of ivory mother of pearl carved flower with white base cloisonne beads in oval, round and coin shapes.
The bracelet has almost the same design as the necklace but i added 2 strands of metal chain to make it look chunkier.  The earrings are the simpliest, just white based cloisonne beads and white with purple spacer wheel.

Lady Gaga's costumes & accessories

First of all, I have to give both thumbs up to this amazingly talented recording artist who has a great stylist.
Yes I am talking about Lady Gaga...whose the darling of the fashion world... I guess all designers and stylists must love her.
Imagine, who would though of wearing all those art wear, head piece, face mask and accessories which I can say some, are not even comfortable.
Especially seen her using hard core costume/art wear masters' creations like the late Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Thiery Mugler etc...

Amazing fashion jewelry designers: Erickson Beamon

The duo designers who make amazing fashion jewelries inspires me most and I've been following their creations for years and they always produce excellence and breathtaking creations.

Erickson Beamon has been a driving force in costume jewelry design for over 23 years. The brand is a partnership between Vicki Beamon and Karen Erickson, hometown friends from Detroit who share a passion for music, the arts, and fashion.
In 1982, the two girls left their lives in the Midwest for Manhattan, where they happened into jewelry design by chance while working on a fashion designer’s runway show.  Frustrated that no one would lend them jewelry to accessorize the collection,

Inspirations of the upcoming The Mod House 2010 Romantic Summer Collection.

Used to think that wearing pearl jewelry are concervative, and only suitable to proper functions...or wedding etc... seems old school...
But that was before, now I think pearl beads, mother of pearl jewelries are feminine, so chic and modern...even romantic! 
Pearl beads or mother of pearl beads are so easy to match with other different beads and materials...even metals, antique silvers, gemstones and leather too.
For the upcoming The Mod House Summer 2010 Collections, I'll be using a lot of pearl beads, mother of pearl charms, pendants, in different color and shapes.

Here are some pix by various designers and brands which i find inspiring:
