You might not know Lele Sadoughi\u2019s name (yet) but you know her look: A bold, graphic necklace (or three) layered over something casual, like a cashmere crewneck or chambray button down; colorful enamel; chunky chain link bracelets stacked high. Considering the recent trend toward delicate and dainty jewelry, Sadoughi\u2019s aesthetic is defiantly more-is-more. It\u2019s a look she pioneered as the first jewelry design director at J.Crew (where she spent five years) and at Tory Burch before going off on her own.<\/p>\n
\u201cJewelry should be fun,\u201d Sadoughi tells us when we stop by her studio.\u201cIf you want to wear a big necklace with crystals and get that attention, you should! Fashion should not be intimidating, it should be fun and it should express your mood.\u201d<\/p>\n
Something else we took note of while peeking in on Sadoughi\u2019s studio? While her designs might invoke a 1950\u2019s cocktail party (her spring\/summer collection was inspired by Havana in the \u201850s), Sadoughi\u2019s process is very much rooted in today\u2019s technology. She sketches and then uses CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology to create her pieces. To design a necklace, for example, Sadoughi will begin by sketching one casting. This casting is then scanned, cut and pasted into a necklace, and the completed image is sent to a factory to be produced.<\/p>\n
Despite using the newest technologies to create her pieces, when it comes to inspiration, Sedoughi is all analog. She admits to preferring to flip through old fashion mags from the \u201850s than scanning Instagram or Tumblr. \u201cI rarely look at what the next big thing is on whatever website,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
And that seems to be working out just fine. Sedoughi\u2019s collection, now in its fourth season, resonates with a customer who wants to pile it on. If you\u2019ve been in a dainty, minimalist, jewelry rut, some styling advice from Sedoughi: \u201cI know that some people like to reserve their big necklace for a party when you are wearing a dress, but you could easily pair it with a denim button down and shorts. It is all about having your own style.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
