Bing Bang's Anna Sheffield On Her New Commitment Collection and Why She Loves Fashion Week

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:16:24 PDT

>> We caught up with jewelry designer Anna Sheffield at last night's Creatures of Comfort Fashion's Night Out event, where she told us not only why she loves Fashion Week, but also all about her new project: a bridal and commitment line. Read on for more from our interview with the designer.

What's your favorite thing about Fashion Week?

"The best part about Fashion Week is that you get to see people from all around the world around this time every year and how awesome they look. It's really good inspiration for designers."

What are your FNO plans?

"I just launched a capsule collection called Bing Bang for WeSC. I just came from the party at the store on Lafayette. It's a small capsule collection of jewelry inspired by NYC and I also created these rose gold headphones for them - it's my favorite thing."

How do you stay sane during Fashion Week?

"Lots of green tea and cookies."

What are you currently working on?

I'm launching a new bridal and commitment jewelry collection next Tuesday. I have about 40 styles, so with all the variations, there are hundreds of pieces. It's based on the idea of bridal and commitment so you can mix and match. Promise rings, stacking rings, or anniversary pieces.

What shows do you plan on attending?

"I'm definitely going to see Jeremy Scott. It's the most inspiring part of the week for me every season. I'm also going to see Mara Hoffman. Those are two people I love. I'll see what else I fit in this week."

fashionologie — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 09:53:41 PST

Blame it on Art Basel taking place in Miami right now, but we're feeling like bold prints, graphic lines, and pops of color this week. Proenza Schouler's mochila print now comes in a compact, more affordable wallet form; the Marc by Marc Jacobs lace-print scarf has the chic look of lace without the Winter wind-allowing holes; and we love the idea of Mociun's mismatched turquoise stud earrings - one sun, one moon.

Left to right: Anthropologie Bold-Stepping Booties ($158), Mociun Sun & Moon Turquoise Studs ($270), Proenza Schouler Mochila Wallet ($145), Bing Bang by Anna Sheffield Zuni Charm Bracelet ($72), Preen Petal Skirt ($940), Marc by Marc Jacobs Lacey Print Scarf ($198)

Fall 2009 Fashion Week: Baubles, Baubles, Baubles

fashionologie — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:59:33 PST

>> Fall 2009 is jewelry's time to shine, judging by all of the collaborations debuting during Fashion Week. Besides Alexander Wang working with Paris Kain of AbraxasRex on "industrial," "animalistic" pieces, Bensoni commissioned Bing Bang's Anna Sheffield to do candy heart necklaces with pyramid pendants, Jason Wu enlisted Philip Crangi to add a "tough element" to his collection, Gilles Mendel and Subversive's Justin Giunta teamed up for chains and jewels to will appear on and worked into the J.Mendel collection, Eddie Borgo channeled his triangle obsession for Jen Kao, producing a sharp set of baubles - and he also working with Joseph Altuzarra. Not to mention a variety of other partners in jeweldom: Hervé Van der Straeten and Ruffian, Thakoon and Fenton's Dana Lorenz, DanniJo and Trovata, Roxanne Assouline and Brian Reyes . . .

Needless to say, the bijoux will be aplenty this season - especially because those partnerships are a good way to for jewelry designers get pieces out there without spending money - "You'll see a lot of collaborations going on with designers - like Irene Neuwirth is doing jewelry for Richard Chai - so you can see the talent at the same time," says CFDA executive director Steven Kolb.
