Here are some shots from the Lizzie Fortunato Jewels Fall 2011 Collection launch at the Soho House New York during fashion week. Here, twins Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato were inspired by the ultimate pioneering woman, branching away from their signature vintage fabric bib necklaces, and galloping full speed into the world of enamel, metals, and even precious stone settings.
"I had this vision of a woman who can get by in any situation -- she reads stars, uses natural medicine, makes fire -- and wanted to translate that to the fearless modern girl, " Lizzie says.
The collection is filled with dreams. Navajo beaded and pony-hair leopard accessories, leather fringe, embellished scarves. Dreams! Kathryn and Lizzie have pioneered their way straight into my heart.
Lizzie Fortunato Jewels are $150-$700 at Bergdorf Goodman, Kirna Zabete, Henri Bendel and Maryam Zadeh.
