Designers: Bensoni

When I visited the great Seen on Stardoll blog I seen that two of May's hotbuys are inspired by pieces in the Besoni Spring 2011 RTW collection. The dress comes out 27th May and the top on 31st May so there is a long wait before they come out. I wish stardoll never changed the top as much as they did, what do you think?

Here is most of their Spring 2011 RTW collection, there are some beautiful pieces but which is your favourite?

Now time to learn more about the designers themselves. Well this time there is two designers, their names are Bengamin Channing Clyburn and Sonia Yoon. They are American and met while studying at the Parsons school of design. They have apprenticed with Giorgio Armani, Donna Karan, Brioni & The Gap. If you haven't noticed yet, Bensoni comes from Ben and Sonia xD Here is a picture of them together at the end of the above catwalk. 

Do you like these designers? Who should I post about next?

Designers: Donna Karan

I'm sure you've all heard about the famous DKNY shop on stardoll which is sadly gone from stardoll and probably wont be coming back. Here is a chance for you to learn about the designer who made all those amazing clothes, Donna Karan.

Donna Karan (born October 2, 1948) is an American fashion designer and the creator of the Donna Karan New York and DKNY clothing labels. Karan was born Donna Ivy Faske in Forest Hills, Queens, USA. She grew up in Woodmere, Long Island, New York, with her stepfather, a tailor, and her mother, a model. Karan started selling clothing on Cedarhurst, New York's Central Avenue at age 14.

She graduated from Hewlett High School in 1966, and then went to the Parsons School of Design (later known as Parsons the New School for Design after it became a division of The New School), for two years. She left to work for Anne Klein. Read more HERE.

Jewelry by Rocquelle

I love my new necklace!! The front of it is cute with the pearl and chain combination. It's dressy enough to wear to work, but would also be cute with a cocktail dress. I also love the back, with the animal print ribbon. Just a touch of naughty and nice! Great combination... ;-).

This necklace was created by a Jewelry designer by the name of Rocquelle. Here is more about Rocquelle, her contact information and where you can see more about her and her jewelry line.

I am a 24 year old fashionista, stylist, closet auditor, crafty d.i.y.er (my made up word, lol) and philanthropist from Houston, TX. When I am not working in the fashion arena, you will find me in the schools as an Community Outreach Associate for Girl Scouts, or spending time with my family and my awesome Babe! After experimenting with creating jewelry and accessories from a variety of sources to rave reviews, I decided to turn my hobby into a business venture, Eclectically Feminine Jewelry and Accessories! I love all things feminine (I am very much a girly-girl) and lovely,especially pearls, which is evident in my eclectic yet feminine designs.

Rocquelle also creates custom pieces. So if you have something in mind, email her the details of what you want. You can read more about her at Eclectically Feminine or you can email her at eclecticallyfeminine@gmail.com.
