Style Week Providence, RI

by trish on March 31, 2010

wireDresses

Providence, RI gets it. They are dedicating a whole week of style events inviting local designers to take the stage. I am happy to shout this out for two reasons. One, I love the highlight on local independent fashion designers because, as we all know, fashion in the US doesn’t only happen in NYC. And two, because a couple of the painstakingly chosen designers are part of our community. There is another bonus here, the emphasis is on style. I like independent, personal style … it makes me happy knowing not every one will look the same.

StyleWeek Providence is a week long celebration of the fashion, design and culture. At its core are daily formal, invitation-only runway fashion shows for buyers, press and stylists from the Northeast and major metropolitan areas throughout the country. Modeled on major Fashion Weeks in cities like New York, Milan, Paris and London; StyleWeek Providence is New England’s only fashion week event that focuses on the business of fashion. StyleWeek’s shows feature a range of designers, introducing both new talent and latest collections from internationally recognized fashion houses to buyers and media.

Darling designers showing during Style Week include David Chum – Selah D’or, Catalina De La Torre, & Andrea Valentini.

Two Peas in a Pod Necklace

Who’s the sweetest pea in the pod? We won’t tell if you don’t! But I do know that you will feel sweet as can be wearing or gifting this necklace with hand wrapped pendant shaped into a pea pod.

Two (2) green quartz beads beads lay snuggly together as peas in a pod. The pendant hangs from a delicate sterling silver 18 inch chain.

A great necklace for anytime wear. A great gift for a best friend or sister(because you are like two peas in a pod!), a mom, or just a sweet pea person.

– These beads are in limited supply, so these will only be available for a limited time –

Beautiful pendent designed by Lucky Accessories, shop the full collection here. See more Smashing Darling featured items here.

Twine Pendent Earrings in Steel Medium

Two recycled steel intaglio pendants, inspired by a simple ball of twine, are hung from sterling silver ear wires. Fibrous and organic, twine represents the ties in life that bind us together with ease and a sense of belonging; these strings that we choose to connect to each other. These pendants stand out beautifully combined with a heavy cable knit cardigan, or hanging above a simple V-neck tee. Pendant is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Ear wires measure 3/4 inches in length. Designed by independent jewelry designer, Joy O for Kyler Eco Designer Jewelry. Shop the full jewelry collection here.

About the fiftyseven-thirtythree:

Oakland California based fiftyseven-thirtythree focuses on designs that are at once simple, graphic, sexy and disconcerting. Loretta Nguyen and James Dawson design and produce screen-printed and stenciled t-shirts and appliquéd hoodies. We draw from an urban aesthetic where multi-culturalism and pop culture merge with inner city decay, graffiti and a lo-tech DIY sensibility. We strive to reflect and celebrate this to some degree in our designs. We derive inspiration from politics, history, media and our sexual identities. We look back at our culture to see what has endured and use it as a road map as to where we’re going. As a culture, we are mixing elements from around the world to create the future. It’s important, as Americans, that we see beyond the regression of our recent past and focus on the fact that the world unfolding around us is incredibly exciting.

Strawberry Field Dress (Eco-friendly) – Buy Now

This is a gorgeous navy blue dress made from soft, super drapey, natural bamboo jersey. We love the beautiful delicate details of the shaped bodice with braided straps. An elastic empire waist gives the dress definition. The skirt  is full with a lovely sweep. The whole dress is lined which gives the dress lots of body so dress won’t cling. We also want to mention, the dress is made in NY. We love seeing all the product made right here in America!
