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,

Redesigning Intan's Vivienne Westwood Swatch watch Part II

As in my earlier post, I redesigned an old swatch watch of her's...to a bracelet watch, and used the remainding parts and created a long necklace...

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:

Beads for Summer 2010 collections

New beads for The Mod House Summer 2010 colleciton.

For the coming collecitons, apart from the usual glass and metal beads, there are some mother of pearl shell beads, handmade glass beads and  China Cloisonne beads. There are a few new types of pendants and footage chains as to spice up the collection.

 

I am in the mids of designing, plan to have about 12-18 sets of designs, will be scheduled to start production ( 10 sets each design, 1 or 2 sets for each outlet of The Mod House through out Malaysia.) by next week, and the delivery deadline would be by end of 1st week of April.

Necklace for LyneGo & DjNiza Minx

I have 3 special friends whom i met in facebook...ACE from Hong Kong, Lyne Go from Canada and Dj Niza Minx from Kuala Lumpur...well, I'm a fan of Niza  :) 

Recently I made a necklace for each of the girls... ( Sorry David, will make something for you when i design men's jewelry)

LilyTigerPom Necklace 

( I guess this is a fierce name but the necklace is more soft and romantic...)

Materials:  Gunmetal base, findings and footage chains, Rose quatzs, Star Rose and Pink Swarovski crystal beads.

The reason for using rose quatz and star rose because I think Lyne is an unusal good personality... she's smart, cheerful, full of humor and very supportive of my work.  She also has a great voice too! This is a tribute to Lyne, beading with love and hope she will cherish this friendship like i do.

 

The necklace that i made for DjNiza Minx, is actually a gift as a fan to a great female disc jocker - can call her a very, i mean very talented lady... with the taste and great ear for music and talent of mixing sexy, energetic and sensual electronic sounds.  I went out for dinner year end just before the new year and took home a promotion cd of hers for the hotel and  I am in love with her talent... then I search and found her in fb.  When i get to know her in person ( well, just texting and fb correspondance, i realised that she has a great personality too)

NizaMinx Necklace - episode 1.

material:  Nickel findings & footage chains, faceted glass beads, Czech glass beads, Swarovski cyrstal beads, natural stones, metal pendants and rhinestone beads.

Now that the girls already received their necklace...

 

and i'm glad they love it.

Veron.
