Follow LuxArtRocks on Twitter

September 22nd, 2009

Social media is the new black and with it comes some­one new to fol­low on Twit­ter: LuxArtRocks. You might rec­og­nize the logo but the cul­tur­ally well-informed tweeter will remain anony­mous this time around. Why? Because here you will find up-to-the-minute infor­ma­tion on all things bright, beau­ti­ful, boun­ti­ful, and a lit­tle bit brag­gado­cio too. There will be of-the-moment red car­pet reports from side­lines a lit­tle closer than your flatscreen, and high-profile auc­tion prop­erty list­ings, jew­elry col­lec­tions and related news, inspi­ra­tional links cross-referencing to art, exhi­bi­tions — as much of the lat­est pop cult news from around the world that can fit into a con­tin­u­ous dia­logue of one-hundred-and-forty char­ac­ters. The ser­vice is exclu­sive, so any­one curi­ous should make con­tact through the LAR page on Twitter.

Gin­nifer Good­win at The 61st Emmy Awards

As for the 61st Emmys? Well, Fred Leighton, Chopard, and Neil Lane were the big con­trib­u­tors there. Lor­raine Schwartz was on a few celebri­ties. One new player on the red car­pet was Ivanka Trump Jew­els — Gin­nifer Good­win was wear­ing them and the look was young, fresh, and not overly styled (many atten­dees were). Loved it.

In the antique and vin­tage cat­e­gory at Leighton, the win­ners were nineteenth-century old mine dia­monds and early Art Deco (think 1920s). You will see more Deco dia­monds in the com­ing months, this peren­nial favorite is again see­ing renewed inter­est — styl­ists love it because it pairs gor­geously with black — fashion’s main­stay. I recently worked a pair of cos­tume Deco clips (a 1930s Coro which can also be clipped together and worn as a sin­gle brooch) with the neck­line of a black trop­i­cal weight wool dress. A clas­sic look for those who want to give a lift to a solid dark can­vas. It’s fast, easy, and if you find a great exam­ple for not too much $$, you’ve got a go-to that will endure for years.
