Trend Watch: Zip It!
Zip it!
Dr. Evil may be evil, but he’s got the right idea as far as the hottest jewelry trends go. We did a piece last month on jewelry designer Kate Cusack. Ever since then, I feel like I’ve been seeing zippers in jewelry everywhere!
But, first, let’s revisit the original: Kate Cusack’s zipper jewelry!
I love how the light catching on the zippers’ teeth are reminiscent of the sparkle of pavé diamonds — but at a fraction of the cost!
And, since I love to see two trends in one, here’s an example of the zipper trend with my favorite pendant watches! Oh, Marc Jacobs, you get me every time.

And, finally, here’s the luxury option for wearing this trend: Van Cleef & Arpels’ version in white gold, dripping with diamonds!

Between these three designers, they’ve got this new trend all zipped up! Look out, clothes — you’re not the only ones sporting zippers anymore!
Zippin’ Out,
Olivia

We just love Kate Cusack’s zipper necklaces, so creative! If you are looking for other fabulous contemporary designers, have a look at some of Alan Anderson, Larry Vrba and Robert Sorrell pieces on our site, http://www.caroletanenbaum.com. They design some of the amazing costume jewelry showstoppers you see in all the magazines.
Best,
Carole
