the "Brooks Collection"....

Well, summer's here and we're all going places... events, openings, shows, parties, the beach, BBQs... the list goes on & on! In the meantime, Harlow's coming out with a new collection:
"the Brooks Collection"



*'Brooks Collection" fringe necklace w/rhinestone & pearl detail on vintage open-link chain in Ruby fringe*



Inspired by Louise Brooks and all the other women of the fabulous and over-the-top 'flapper' era, the collection focuses on fringe, sparkle and decadence. As always, no two pieces will be alike, and each piece is completely hand-sewn. Designed to accentuate what you're already wearing, these necklaces will almost appear as if they're part of the dress!! I'm also creating pieces that can be worn either draping down the front, or to drape down and sway across the back - depending on what you're wearing... a nice, open, scoop-back top or dress would look fierce with some fringe swaying back and forth. Incorporating antique elements such as a deco-era dress or shoe clip here, an antique locket there {and of course, what would this homage be without some pearls thrown in the mix?}, these pieces are most certainly created to make a statement! Brooches, bracelets and earrings will follow shortly!



**Custom pieces available!



**'Brooks Collection" fringe necklace w/deco-era rhinestone dress clips, Victorian steel-cut beaded shoe clip & rhinestone charm detail in Black fringe...



**'Brooks Collection" faux pearl and fringe necklace w/antique "B" initial piece, antique locket, Swarovski Crystal and vintage revolver charm in Ivory fringe...



Some of these new pieces will be featured in the dynamic and swanky Pepper Pastor Salon in NYC! Located by the South Street Seaport, and with a long list of superstar clients and stylists, this amazing salon is the perfect home for my new collection! The vibe of this salon is best described as "Coco Chanel meets Tim Burton", and a superstar client happens to be the amazingly talented and multi-faceted Theo Kogan, formerly of the "Lunachicks"; now of "Theo and the Skyscrapers" and "Screen test". After next weekend, you should pay a visit, update you 'do and take a peek at the new collection!
