This presentation is such a wonderful marriage of collaborations between jewelry, fashion, beauty, and styling. How did it start to come together?
Lisa: "I had contributed to Leslie’s book Let’s Bring Back. I wrote two entries about forgotten jewelry trends that we should have in our lives again; non-diamond engagement rings was one of them, and those coded amazing rings that spell out words in gemstones. So, we had always been on the same wavelength with loving the past but wanting to bring it into the modern era. We had talked about doing a collab for a long time. So Leslie and I and Jen share a love of vintage, but interpreting it in a modern way, so it made sense to focus on three of the icons from Leslie’s book and actually use them as muses and build three collections around them. So, you have the Marchesa Casati, which actually turned out to be the most Lulu Frost-esque collection because it’s very Victorian, very classic. Then Nancy Cunard was such an amazing woman, and we did hers with a more tribal, almost barbaric look (that’s what people used to call her style, barbaric). She would just wear amazing bangles, stacked up to her elbows, and so, we created a collection around that style. And then I designed a third collection around Schiaparelli, and this sort of surrealist effect in jewelry. But, of course, we tried to give it a very modern twist like I always try to do when interpreting something vintage."
