The Z Spoke by Zac Posen 2011 Collection was a fabulously crafted contemporary collection highlighted by vibrant colors and eye-popping prints. If there is one thing that this collection isn’t lacking, it is attitude. Intended for a youthful, trendy shopper, each piece is flirty and funky, sometimes bordering on outright silly. Comprised of blazers, high wasted trousers, ruffles, and lace, this collection is simply a blast- perfect for the girl who loves fashion but doesn’t take it too seriously.

Minimarket
Inspired by voodoo and superstition, Minimarket presented an eclectic collection comprised of strong cuts playing tribute to the female shape. Elaborate hair ornaments made of straw, leaves, wood and feathers underscored the allusion to dark arts. Comprised of semi-geometric patterns and solids, the looks adhere to different shades of a trio: apricot, aqua and blue, accented by either cayenne or black. Accessorized with John Lennon sunglasses and two meter long necklaces, the three Swedish designers behind the brand managed to produce my favorite collection of the week.
Henrik Vibskov
Held at the eerie pedestrian bridge in a very dark Copenhagen park, the last show of the evening was worth the wait. Adorned with a thick black fabric wrapped from crown to chin paired with opaque goggles, models plodded down the make-shift wooden planks in simple-yet-dynamic garments. Maintaining his eccentric reputation, Vibskov sent a wooden sailboat down the opposite end of the runway, creating an unfortunate distraction to the otherwise strong collection.

Wood Wood
Soaked in H2O and rocking tangled knots with the odd fabric weaved braid, models sauntered the through the numerous rooms hosting this season’s show with a jaded attitude to match the utility-inspired garments. Kiss-printed dress shirts and graphic A-line skirts and shorts ran throughout this light-hearted collection, while the backpack adorned many backsides, proving the practical accessory is here to stay.

Repurposed, upcycled, one-of-a-kind — these terms are everywhere these days, but independent jewelry designer Kay Adams doesn’t use them lightly. She does take vintage jewelry apart and puts the pieces back together in the most dramatic yet delicate fashion; and when she makes a piece, she’s not going to make it a second time. So if you’ve bought it, you’ve got the only version out there.
Kay makes all the pieces in her Richmond, VA studio, using hundreds of different tools and selecting from over 1400 categories of sorted jewelry. According to Kay, her work is “the tangible result of insatiable curiosity, obsessive collecting,fervent love of vintage treasures, intense imagination, overloaded passion. . . and TOOLS!” Yet, it doesn’t hurt that she and her mom, Judy Rogers, have been dealing antiques from their shop Anthill Antiques, for the past 14 years. It was only a matter of time before her unique perspective found its way around a woman’s neck.
The approximate starting price of a Kay Adams necklace: $65. Shipping and handling fees from Richmond, Va: $8.95. Knowing you’ll be the only woman wearing the necklace, ever: priceless.
For more information, you can call Anthill Antiques at 804.254.2000 , or email them at info@anthillantiques.com.
