Snapshots from the Shows - Lulu Frost's Spring 2012 Collection

Christina Perez — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:28:28 PDT

>> For Spring 2012, designer Lisa Salzer culled inspiration from a childhood spent on sunny Montauk beaches and the 1960s surf-travel movie Endless Summer. These influences were evident not only in the way the collection was presented - retro-suited models lounged amongst surf boards and driftwood strewn with exotic flowers - but in the materials used in the jewelry as well: rough-cut stones, oversized pearls, and burnished metal. Amongst the glittering layers of statement necklaces, vintage-tinged cuffs, and mixed-media earrings was another accessory of note - one that's been popping up somewhat regularly elsewhere as of late: anklets. Here, they were plentiful and plenty intriguing - undulating leaf-chains crawled up the leg, while rock-adorned styles draped to the toe. Click through to see these, plus more pics snapped at the presentation.

>> A century's worth of antique finds goes into each bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings in Lisa Salzer's new 100 Year Collection for Lulu Frost. Inspired by Salzer's own collection of vintage jewels, this new batch of stunners was created with the same type of re-mix artistry that went into last April's 100 Year Necklace; each piece features no less than six vintage jewels, all originating from a different era between the years 1860 and 1960. Here's an up-close look at each of the new pieces, currently available in a special vintage sale at Moda Operandi.

fashionologie — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 11:46:46 PST

>> J.Crew hasn't scored a Christian Louboutin collaboration yet, but they are working with Lulu Frost's Lisa Salzer for a capsule Holiday 2010 jewelry collection.

“I had been in a California store called TenOverSix about a year ago when I was home for Christmas, and I bought this amazing necklace," recalled J.Crew president Jenna Lyons. "I said, ‘I work at J.Crew, would it be OK if I got in touch with the designer?'"

Marissa Webb, J.Crew women's design director, visited the Lulu Frost studio and selected pieces from Salzer's archives as the collection's basis. The vintage pieces are mixed with elements like handmade chains and glass crystals to modernize their look. The collection will be available both in stores and online and ranges from about $75 for earrings to $175 for a necklace.
