Follow LuxArtRocks on Twitter
September 22nd, 2009Social 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.
