Molly Sims at Mulberry's Chateau Marmont Dinner

A gigantic pink/purple glittery Mulberry leopard and the brands Creative Director Emma Hill hosted an intimate dinner poolside at The Chateau Marmont to fete her Fall 2010 collection. Emma has been with the brand under 3 years, but already earned accolades with her first “It Bag”, the Alexa.

The inspiration for the vintage feeling bag came when Emma met the English TV Presenter/DJ, Alexa Chung, globe trotting around with her briefcase, and knew she had something better for the tastemaker, taking the iconic Bayswater Mulberry bag and crossing it with the men’s Mulberry briefcase. The Alexa is relaxed and formal at the same time, and roomy, available in lambskin, snakeskin and nappa leather.

Everyone snapped photos of one another with their disposable cameras found at their seats, wearing the leopard-print masks found on each dinner plate.

Guests were hopeful that a Mulberry Los Angeles store is in the works, but Emma spoke nothing of it, instead focusing on her own Margaret bag and the new collection inspired by the 1967 film “Valley of the Dolls”. “Naughty royalty, good girls gone wild” were the words Emma used to describe the line, which includes new Alexa styles, the Edna and Neely totes, along with some unique touches like Mulberry’s own crest, two English bulldogs and slogan, “We believe in tea and cake,” as hardware on the Margaret bag.

Emma will be moving to Malibu in October, housing herself and her team to create the next Mulberry line, surely it will have some additional California flavor to it. www.mulberry.com

Sometimes we start off on one path and are lead to another, which changes everything. This can be exciting when you find yourself in love, which is what happened when NY Fashion Institute graduate Meredith Kahn went from clothing designer to jewelry creator.

“Jewelry is given to share one’s heart, and it’s amazing to be a part of that.” Meredith mixes diamonds with feathers, various metals and plastics with multiple colors, textures and styles. The feathered bracelet here makes for a delicate, yet hip and romantic accessory. Its also so different than anything else you can find, it really feels special when you wear it.

Plume Bracelet

Hollywood talent like Rihanna, Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Kate Bosworth and Eva Mendes are among her devoted following. Editors, tastemakers, entertainment executives, and Lower East Side hipsters are all coming together to agree that Kahn’s creations merge soft romantic with edgy chic, appealing to both the romantic and inner rock starlet in each of us.

Check out the story from Life & Style with a Q & A from Meredith;

Prices range across the board, meaning there is something for all budgets and we believe you will be seeing a lot more of her beautiful wearable art. Kahn creates limited amounts of each design and style, but a variety enough that you can purchase everything from rings, to necklaces and bracelets or even handbags to wear year round and with nearly anything. Her funky and fun style is inspiring to us here at Style Seen Daily, where we believe that we all need to create our own style and people like Kahn make it possible to do that.
