Jimmy Crystal Video

Remember the Jimmy Crystal event (click HERE to remember) I went to a few weeks ago? The video of the event is here! See below and make sure to watch out for me at the 2:37 mark (I sound like a whiny cheerleader).

Nothing screams I'm from the Middle East like crystallized camels and skulls

Two weeks ago Jimmy Crystal showed its Autumn/Winter 2011/2012 trends inspired by Swarovski Elements. I showed up half an hour fashionably late (I have a good excuse), but didn't miss a single thing! The rooms were filled with fabulous people and crystals, and near the end Stephanie Carcache performed (I didn't stay that long, I had a meeting afterward). Here are some pictures I took throughout the night.

Love that Louis! Love you for pulling a great Kanye!

Me standing next to a wedding dress. The rain was bad to my hair that night, I should have kept it up in a bun...lesson learned. Shawl, blue dress, black shirt, earrings: Forever 21. Shoes, belt: Calvin Klein (oh, Costa..). Glasses: Marc Jacobs.

I so regret not putting my hair up. I'm going to have nightmares now.

Crystallized feathers...love it!!

Here are the five collections for F/W 2010:

It was a great night, I loved the fashion! I love Jimmy Crystal, they are so great with customer service and their clients. Wendy always responds to my emails...that's not something I take for granted! Look around you, if you see anything (your blinds??) that you feel is a bit lackluster, shoot them an email for a quote. I totally want to get my I-pad decked out (when I get an I-pad, that is). Click here to contact them.

Crystalized

On a visit to the Jimmy Crystal showroom last weekend, I discovered two things: that crystal encrusted door handles make for quite the extraordinary entrance, and Demian Hirst. I stood in the lobby looking through the glass doors, at a room filled from floor to ceiling, with Swarovski Crystal-encrusted....everything. Everything was encrusted, from the chairs to the outlets and the light switches.

I know absolutely nothing about crystals or anything shiny for that matter. The only shiny things I have are a Tahari dress and a vintage sequin purse. A lot of designers use crystal in their collections, and when they do, they turn to Jimmy Crystal. They also do personalization crystallization (I couldn't think of another way to say that), meaning if you bring them anything, they will personalize it in crystals. I would love to engulf all of the random objects in my room with crystals.

Anyways, Wendy Chen is the PR rep for the company, does their marketing, events, and not to mention designs for them as well. She designed two collections for fall 2010. Later I will post about that, but for now here are some of my favorites from the showroom:
