Jewelry, Naeem Khan, Ranjana Khan, Spring 2011 Fashion Week

My first thought on Naeem Khan’s Spring Collection is that the colorful embroidered numbers belong on tan jet set women. The type of women that party in Marrakech, Rio De Janeiro and St. Tropez on a routinely basis. Daring dipping V lines call for perky breasts, and in the middle slits demand bikram toned legs. What of course peaked my attention was his wife’s, Ranjana Khan, Spring Collection jewelry. As a wife decors a husband, Ranjana’s long emblem necklaces and daring dangling earrings brought the finishing touches to the ensembles.

Emblems galore! This statement necklace adds glamor to this two toned creation.

Earrings that drop to the shoulders speak glamor

Such a strong coral necklace can only be worn on a classic styled & neutral colored dress

My favorite casual evening look from the collection

A more sophisticated version of the previous look.

The dress and necklace make me dream of warm nights in Rio.

The kaftan is transformed into an elegant, luxurious, and desirable gown

The dress I adored the most! The rich embroidery is to be worn alone, just like a woman who shines in her own beauty.

Statement necklaces are still a force of nature to not be reckon with! Which also means that they are here to stay for the next following seasons. But instead of resting high on the chest, Ranjana has dropped the length of her delightful creations to reach as far down as the naval. So ladies, start applying your face creams to your decollage and be prepared to show more than just a dangling pendant or charm.

I will be accompanying Miranda, DSL’s CEO, to Ranjana Khan’s Spring 2011 exhibition in Paris. Let me know which are your favorite pieces and I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for them as we choose which precious items to bring to the showroom of Doorstep Luxury.

Ralph’s Homage to the Great West

accessories, Ralph Lauren, Spring 2011 Fashion Week

Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2011 Collection appears strongly influenced by America’s expansion to the West in the late 1800′s. As I review images of tassled leather chaps, Edwardian long skirts, and fine lace blouses, I am reminded of my favorite childhood computer game, Oregon Trail. Yet, and this is no surprise, it is the accessories that greatly intrigue me. Bowler hats, messenger bags, and round wire rimmed eyeglasses are in abundance! These reflections of the Pioneer Era add masculine quirkiness to what would otherwise be an over the top romantic and pretty collection.

Edwardean sleeves, a cap and messenger bag creates a newspaper boy meets pioneer look.

The bowler hat adds an historic Masculine feel to a romantic fresh outfit.

A long flowing skirt matched with a structure blazer creates confined antique lines.

The prettiness of the white gown is toned down by the black bowler hat, giving it a more unusual and eye-catching look

Ralph

Will a bowler hat and a messenger bag find their way into my Spring 2011 wardrobe? Perhaps… but I will consider toning down my flowy feminine outfits with male accessories. It’s an intriguing look that makes my head turn and makes me say, “why the hell not?”
