Project Runway Fashion and Your Jewelry

I must admit that most of the time I really don't understand what passes for fashion. I am not hip or trendy. It is important to keep an eye on fashion when you are designing jewelry. As an artist I want to create unique pieces while also having something that people can wear with their latest fashions. This can be difficult for me. I watched the finale episode of Project Runway yesterday. I watched it as a learning experience and thought about how could I translate the fashions into my jewelry.

While I couldn't really connect with Kenley's collection I did enjoy her use of color. I really like Korto's collection. With the big bold beading(say that 5 times fast)you could see her vision of how the clothing should be accented with jewelry. While I could connect my jewelry to her clothes through color, it still wouldn't be the kind of jewelry that people wearing Korto's clothes would wear. Leanne's collection really struck me. I loved the color pallet and I could see how I could take the wave inspiration and translate it in my own way. I can envision creating jewelry that could work. Now my ideas about waves won't be the same as Leanne's, but I will be trying out some designs with Leanne's collection as my inspiration. I'm not really sure how it will come out but it most definitely will be a learning experience.

If you don't already check out new and hot fashions, I recommend doing so. You can find new inspiration and new ways to get your handcrafted jewelry noticed.
