In the latest episode of Style Coalition TV's Behind the Seams, I stepped inside the Flatiron headquarters of Lulu Frost. Designer Lisa Salzer chats about getting her start as a jewelry designer, the art of collaboration AND her most recent Spring '13 collection dubbed Let's Bring Back.
Let's Bring Back derives inspiration from three extraordinary and diverse women - Belle Epoque heiress The Marchesa Casati, Jazz Age activist Nancy Cunard, and mid-century Surrealist designer Elsa Schiaparelli. A capsule within the collection is devoted to each, with prices ranging from $130-$480.

Designer, artist and entrepreneur Robert Lee Morris is nothing short of a legend in the jewelry business. His stunning namesake collection, launched in 1971, is one that's instantly recognizable to anyone who has even the slightest interest in jewelry - pieces are bold and sometimes architectural, yet sensual, often deriving inspiration from organic forms. I'm particularly obsessed with the bold cuffs, which sit perfectly on the wrist despite their often striking size.
Last week, I had the pleasure of going Behind The Seams and in the studio with Robert in the Style Coalition TV episode below. In addition to a peek at his current collection, archives and workroom, we chatted about the art of designer collaborations (having worked with legends like Calvin Klein and Donna Karan, Robert knows a bit on the matter). His advice is worth a listen for any young designer.
Shop the Robert Lee Morris collection at Bergdorf Goodman, Kirna Zabête, or at Morris’ Soho store at 400 West Broadway.
In its three short years of existence, Rent The Runway has become one of the key weapons in my event arsenal. Their assortment of on-trend designer dresses offers something for any woman and EVERY occasion, and their user-submitted reviews and photos make shopping for something flattering ALL too easy. In the words of my Southern friends, bless their hearts!
At the recent launch of Our Runway, Rent The Runway's new social shopping platform, I had the pleasure of chatting with co-founders and Harvard Business School grads (yowsa!) Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss. In the Behind the Seams episode above, they share words of wisdom on both starting and running a business - I have a feeling you'll be as inspired as I was.
