New Fall Collection: 'the 'Metal Collection'....

Well, summer's come and gone, and fall is when we start jazzing things up a bit: more focus falls on fashion, events, nightlife! It’s getting colder so we tend to stretch our creative side and express ourselves further when we dress... events, openings, shows, parties, galleries... the list goes on & on! In the meantime, Harlow's working on several new collections, starting with "the Metal Collection".

**’Metal Collection’ Vintage Draped Multi-Chain Collar Necklace**

This collection is slinky, sexy and created, of course, with 100% vintage and antique components. Some feature vintage and antique brooches, all are dripping in chains, featuring artfully draped chains, charms and accents… As always, no two pieces will be alike, and each piece is completely unique. Designed to accentuate the collarbone and chest area, or to add a bit of an edge to your LBD! These pieces are most certainly created to make a statement!

**’Metal Collection’ Vintage Brooch and draped Multi-Chain Collar Necklace**

Some other projects currently in the works include: shoe ‘jewelry’, recycled leather and feather/chain-trimmed cuffs, re-purposed, one-of-a-kind vintage gloves as well as a collection of shoes! I’ll also be bringing back my feather-trimmed vintage clutch bags & working on a new collection of hairpieces!

**Custom pieces are always available!

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!

HIC- Calling All Models!!! Open Casting Call!!

HARLOW IN CHAINS: CASTING CALL!! ♥

Have you purchased a piece from Harlow? Have you absolutely fallen in love with it? So much so that you'd want to model it for my new website?? I'll be featuring the best of the best on my soon-to-be newly refurbished website!
------------------------♥------------------------

I'm holding an open casting call - calling all ‘real’ models!! All of the beautiful women who’ve chosen Harlow In Chains to add to their unique collection of personal adornment: rather than hiring professional models, I want you to represent my line!!

Whether it be an urban DIY shoot on the streets of Brooklyn, or a beautiful antiqued indoor shoot - have your Uber-talented photographer friend set you up and shoot you like there's no tomorrow! I'm not looking for a family portrait here; I'm looking for your best, most creative, fun and artistic shots. So, if you've had any ideas bouncing around your head regarding a hot series or a dark, and alluring set of shots, now's the time to pull those out!!!
------------------------♥------------------------

Amateur or the real deal - take some amazing photos of yourself, wearing my pieces; get brave - use your Polaroid/Lomo/Holga/Diana cameras and your imagination; take one shot, several shots - hell, make it a series; if they look great and show my pieces in the best possible light, they'll be up on my site{s} for all to see!! I need the pieces to be shown in all their glory, and since I know that you're all as lovely, unique and mysterious as the pieces I've created for you, jump in and come up with something amazing! If you decide to shoot a full series, you'll get your own section in my gallery; tagged, linked and ready-to-go. No restrictions or limitations - the styling's all up to you!!

P.S. – Don’t worry about sending too many. If you send 30, only 10 may make it onto the HIC site, but the remainder will end up in my other galleries, so don’t worry about a thing.***Large resolution photos are welcome {and preferred}!!

Have fun with it!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!

xoxo

------------------------♥------------------------

The {not-so} fine print: It’s easy – this is a simple, fun exchange…

Deadline: July 20^th, 2009. If I receive some excellent shots after that date, I will use them, it just may take a little longer to get them up on the site.

A} I'll be using these photos on harlowinchains.com, as well as my other gallery sites. I’ll use the best in my table-top look-book. I may even use them to promote when interviewed or when a blog/magazine requests photos, so for any aspiring models out there, this will be great exposure!! You can use these in your own look-book/portfolios, as long as credit is given.
------------------------♥------------------------

**All MUST be credited as follows {both you & I}:

Jewelry by: “Harlow In Chains/link”

Model: “Name/link”

Photographer: “Name/link”

Location: “Location/link”

------------------------♥------------------------

B} You'll be able to do the same - put them up on your flickr, your myspace, personal website, modeling portfolio, etc.**The only requirement on both ends: Credit.

I will happily credit you {the fabulous model}, as well as the photographer, any stylists as well as any clothing designers that are involved. All I ask is that you do the same. "Jewelry by: Harlow in Chains/link to my website"
