Close Ups with Caro Marketing

A press preview with Caro Marketing at the trendy boutique hotel Ink 48 yielded a fantastic sneak peek at what is to come in the springtime of 2011 for eleven different collections. It was a mix of some awesome brand new lines that will be launching this spring, such as Jia and Bishop (the diffusion line of Bishop of Seventh, who is best known for their clean tailoring and amazing fits...Bishop of Seventh also happens to be collaborating with Los Angeles artist Michael Chearney this spring on a sick limited edition, feng shui-inspired t-shirt and denim collection!), as well as some long-time favorites such as the always on-trend Aryn K, the classic and sophisticated McGinn Collection, and one of my personal obsessions, Plastic Island (which I first laid eyes on here). Overall consensus? Let's skip the winter and go straight to spring. Any objections?

Crossed Up

MASSIVE cross necklace. Avant-garde, yet holy at the same time. LOVE the innovative, contemporary and unexpected way that Maria Francesca Pepe presents the most ancient of symbols in her fashion jewelry.
