The Evil Eye Trend

Lately I've been seeing many different versions of 'evil eye' jewelry.

Jewelry designer Kara Ross has teamed up with her childhood friend Tory Burch on a line of evil-eye cuffs, rings, and necklaces in the palette of Burch's fall 2010 ready-to-wear collection.

Fashion goes affordable with Zara

Zara has opened its first outlet store in Delhi. They want fashion to be affordable for all, they decided to open its first outlet flagship store in Delhi because they are aware of Indian women being more fashion conscious and they thought the time was right to branch out. Zara wants to focus more on the customer in this particular store, the merchandise is based on the consumer's demand. The store has something for everyone, they covered all bases from classic to trendy for men, woman, and child. They are not going to hire a brand ambassador, they want the customer to decide for themselves.

I think Zara is on the right track, India is one of the new trends in fashion. There will soon be a race for this market as their desire for fashion grows.

Bic

Vivienne Gibson is the founder of new lable Chewed by Tuesday. Limited-edition designs (each piece comes with a signed authentication certificate by the designer). Her first collection takes the simple, everyday “bic pen lid” and makes it an art piece to wear around the neck in precious metal. As to where the name came from, “Chewed by Tuesday is based on those random items that people chew (but aren’t meant to)."

J Crew meets Bridal

The opening of the J.Crew Bridal store on New York's Madison Avenue at 66th Street, Tuesday evening (June 1st) Tracy Gardner (J. Crew's president) said, "We see this store as a platform to continue our mission to show off our incredible design, our service and personality. We've always had a really loyal following with bridesmaids and as we added more gowns, wedding gowns were doing so well. We thought we could bring something different than what's out there."
