Few jewelry artisans today have achieved both cult status and commercial success, created iconic geometric jewelry pieces considered wearable art, while holding on to their visions or ethics, but Robert Lee Morris has. The award winning designer’s work is best described as an effortless fusion of the spiritual and the sensual, yielding a zen-like beauty. His creative collaborations are diverse, encompassing both the fine jewelry world and the fashion realm. Robert’s creative fashion collaborations with designers such as Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld and Michael Kors, have rendered some of his most interesting designs which showcase his cerebral and intuitive approach, as well as his understanding of what makes a woman both unique and beautiful.

So how giddy was the Couture team when we discovered that Couture would be carrying the line? Beyond! Couture.Zappos features some of his minimalist designs as well as his Warhol collection. We are craving the SS Tear Earrings with gold french hooks, loving the Warhol Collection Flower Chain Bracelet, and coveting the Warhol collection Dangerous Objects Pendant. For all of our fashionistos out there, don’t feel left out, Couture also carries the men’s jewelry line, and the Couture team is loving the Warhol Blurry Cross Pendant. But don't just accept our word for it, take a peek for yourself.

WANG'S WORLD INDEED!

Alexander Wang is a star, a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund star that is. Wang took home the top honor and the $200,000 prize which includes a year’s worth of mentoring, last night at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund dinner gala. Wang started his eponymous line at the tender age of 21, soon becoming the cult favorite designer amongst the modelistas and the downtown cool set. However, Wang, was not the only winner last night at CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava, and Albertus Q. Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus were this year’s runners-up. Each of the runners-up will receive $50,000 each and a business manager for a year as their take home prize. But we here at Couture would be remiss if we did not mention that Mr. Wang was already a star, as he was also awarded the 2008 Ecco Domani Emerging Designer award previously. Wang’s world indeed!

Boxy jackets are a great option if you want to have a retro feel but not look dated. For the right proportions, think boxy on top and sleek on the bottom, like pairing this kensiegirl jacket with boot-cut jeans and heels. It makes for a great, effortlessly cool look.
