Vera WANG

NEW YORK, September 09, 2007 – The backdrop to Vera Wang was a large and ancient-looking tree. And, as the show began, lighting behind it faded from deep orange to white in a sort of otherworldly time-lapse sunrise to the sound of, very fittingly, “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles.

However, though it did offer shimmery gold in the way of a gilt column dress and vibrant purple, aquamarine, and rusty orange, Wang’s collection, inspired by Roman antiquity, wasn’t exactly sunny. Some of her pieces, like a chestnut duchesse satin belted dress, felt more appropriate for fall. But maybe these days the chicest women don’t worry so much about the calendar when dressing (after all, Amanda Brooks, sitting front row, was wearing the prettiest watercolor print dress from Thakoon resort). “She always does draping so beautifully,” Brooks said after the show. Her favorites? The long, jersey evening dresses.
 
It was an hour before show time, and while the music blaring through the speakers backstage was more like the playlist at Socialista, the mood was anything but the usual frenzied madness: The designer herself even had a moment to get her hair blown out by legendary hairstylist Orlando Pita. While Wang was sitting pretty, Pita’s team of stylists was busy twisting models’ hair into sleek, low knots. “You know when you see Kate Moss out, and you know she tied up her own hair, without fuss?” said Pita, looping a model’s long ponytail through an elastic band. “That’s what we’re doing.”

For makeup artist Lucia Pieroni, the bright, jewel-toned palette of Wang’s spring clothes—fashioned into draped, column-like layers and strong silhouettes—called for a suitably more simple face. “We went for a very pure Grecian look, no mascara even; just some taupey-browns and gold shimmer,” said Pieroni, who explained she didn’t want the makeup to compete with the rich shades of aqua, fuchsia, and purple in the clothes. Clé de Peau’s new spring eye color compact (in a shade called “Calming Breeze,” out this February) did double-duty, with Pieroni dipping into the nude-colored shadow for lids, and even using the pink on lips—dusted over a little bit of foundation (common backstage magic), for a matte, pale-rose effect.

Added an RSS file for those of you using RSS aggregates and I’ll soon be adding a sitemap.

Question : What is a RSS feed?
Answer : RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a “feed”, “web feed”, or “channel”, contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

Question : How do you read a RSS feed at kenembijoux.com ?
Answer : RSS content can be read using software called a “feed reader” or an “aggregator.” The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds. Several RSS “aggregates” or “feed readers” are suggested below.

    Main Menu Updated

    Entirely re-vamped the main menu as I found out this last week while at a friends house that the previous menu was not working for those of you using IE 7.0 and Firefox. If anyone seems to be still having problems with it please let me know.

    While I was at it, I added the sub-menu “News”, which is where you are now. I also added a category explaining a little about the different types of beads that I use in my jewelry, called “Bead Types”. It should be up later today. I also re-arranged the “Vote for Kenem!” section so that all the different websites where you can vote for my website are grouped together on one page and now called “Jewelry Giveaway!”. You can find out there how you can win free jewelry just by voting for my website. The “voting” is nothing more than clicking on a link that leads to another website.
