San Diego's Gordana at The Emmys

San Diego's Gordana of Project Runway Season 6 appeared on the red carpet for the Emmys this past month in her hand dyed creation with four models in her couture Spring 2010 line. Her line was recently launched during Mercedes Benz Fashion week and will appear again in Los Angles on October 12.

I will be attending her LA fashion show so I must say I am particularly excited about her new line  inspired by Lady of the Lake. If you have been keeping up with this season's Project Runway as I have, her talent and skill with fabrics is obvious and her vision is truly one of feminine elegance. Her designs are perfect for an incredible event that requires silky sophistication.

Statement Jewelry Designed by Micha

San Diego houses some incredible artists and designers who's talent rivals those in New York and L.A. A perfect example is Micha Kuechenhoff.  Born in Germany, Micha made her move from Berlin to California 10 years ago and began designing her signature look: “knots that tie non-traditional and vintage materials into fashion which equate the fresh and original pieces”.

Which is basically a bizarre way of saying her designs are stunning wearable art. Talk about a statement necklace. Created from old trinkets, charms, chains, and recycled fabrics, each piece is absolutely unique and one-of-a-kind with a "Go Green" state of mind. Her line consists of necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings and jean bling (kind of like an extraordinary wallet chain).

From simple to intricate, each piece has its own personality and presence. I am a huge fan of these conversational pieces. Simply skip the earrings, wear an uncomplicated top to wow a crowd. Every time I see Micha she is always making a scene with her incredible look. I have seen other versions of found items made into jewelry, but Micha was one of the first and definitely the best. An amazingly creative mind lies behind her welcoming smile.
