Kai Milla Spring-Summer 2016 Collection

The CLEAR | Kai Milla Spring-Summer 2016 Collection is set to blaze a bold new path in every modern woman’s journey. Acclaimed designer Kai Milla unveils her latest line of sophisticated separates, dresses, and a few floor-length red-carpet gowns that all strike a carefully calibrated balance between graceful movement and functional structure, between standing out and providing a coherent montage of looks that may be seamlessly blended into current wardrobes. Crafted from fine cottons, silk blends, silicone lace, organza and a revolutionary lightweight, slivery thin neoprene, the collection is dominated by muted shades of blush and gainsboro but punctuated by dashes of scarlet and cobalt. While the line undoubtedly bears what fashion observers have described as Kai’s signature design aesthetic of “sculptural fluidity”, CLEAR | Kai Milla truly marks the next chapter of her creative and as well as personal quest.

At her very core, Kai Milla is an artist first and foremost. Having earned a degree in fine arts from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in her native Washington DC, she went on to a successful stint as an art director in New York. It wasn’t until she attended a showing of Dior Couture in Paris when she felt irresistibly compelled to finally plunge into fashion. Inspired by modernist forerunners like Paul Poiret, who effectively freed women from the confines of corsetry, and Claire McCardell whose American fashions were revolutionary, Kai explored concepts of simplicity and draping without losing any of the romanticism of women’s dressing. Since the debut of her eponymous collection in 2005 during New York Fashion Week, she has been among the industry’s most esteemed designers. Her elegant designs inevitably drew A-List devotees such as first lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Academy Award winner Halle Berry, pop superstar Rihanna, and actresses Olivia Wilde, Salma Hayek and Eva Mendes. Kai also became a contributing board member for NY Fashion Week’s Harlem’s Fashion Row, the premiere organization championing the careers and success of young black designers. And much like fashion itself, Kai too inevitably continued to evolve.

As both career woman and single mother raising two boys, Kai conceived CLEAR | Kai Milla to reflect not just her own but indeed every modern woman’s evolution. “Life is in constant flux and I want my line to be just as transformative. By stripping away the superfluous distractions that already crowd our lives, I tried to capture a neoteric clarity in design,” Kai says of her line’s brand name. “These pieces were designed to bring out a woman’s sense of self even as they become an essential part of who she is.” The result is an array of choices that enable women to look confidently alluring while affording them the flexibility to go through a hectic day of activities and shifting priorities without breaking stride. Clear | Kai Milla retails from $200 to about $1,000 and will be available at major department stores and online.

Anya Engel Adams Emerging

With another addition to the “Spike Lee Joints”, a new star has been named to emerge in Hollywood as a contender for the throne belonging to Halle Berry & Angelina Jolie. Spike Lee’s recent most movie, “Chiraq”, is due to be released this Christmas. The movie is starred by popular Hollywood heavyweights including John Cusack, Samuel Adams and Angela Bassett along with the new face, Engel Adams A.K.A Anya, who has managed to create quite the buzz in Hollywood as the new it girl. 

She can be a movie star or fashion model in our opinion.

Anya has been anticipated to be the next big female leading movie star with her role in the movie of popular American director, producer, writer and actor, Spike Lee. There is much buzz around the performance of Anya or Anya Engel Adams in the movie and there is much anticipation for the movie itself. Spike Lee is known to make movies based on controversial social and political issues and accepting a new talent in a drama such as that has always been looked upon as quite an impossible task by Hollywood in general.

Having Spike Lee handpick her has certainly added to the buzz surrounding her debut but there has also never been as much anticipation for a debutante’s performance in a movie as hers for a long time now, in Tinseltown. 

About Anya Engel Adams: Anya is starring in the movie “Chiraq” her break out leading role in a highly anticipated film to open on Christmas Day by  renowned filmmaker Spike Lee. 

Learn more about Anya Engel Adams at her website.

She is smoking hot.  Don't you agree?

Legend Amrapali Contemporary Indian Jewelry

With bold looks in both 18k gold and silver, celebrities at every age, from 20s to almost 70s, are clamoring to wear Legend Amrapali.  This new contemporary fine jewelry line is modern and fresh, drawing inspiration from Eastern mythology and captivating women with the meaningful symbolism behind the Indian inspired designs.  The line is extremely robust including fashion-forward modern collections, as well as more classic, heritage pieces.  

Legend Amrapali will finally go LIVE with its new E-commerce platform, Legendamrapali.com, its first direct to consumer experience for North America.  The site will serve as the online introduction of Amrapali's new contemporary fine jewelry brand, Legend Amrapali, which recently debuted this past fall, in-store, at Dover Street Market New York.  Handcrafted in Jaipur and inspired by the rich culture and heritage of India, Legend Amrapali breathes new life into centuries-old Indian jewelry-making traditions and infuses a contemporary twist by delicately combining the mystery of India's traditions with modern design.   

The new E-commerce platform will be the first opportunity for consumers to enjoy a much broader assortment of Legend Amrapali.  From breathtaking 18k yellow gold statement pieces to big and bold pieces in sterling silver, the collection is chic and modern for everyday easy elegance.  Petite stackable silhouettes and diamond solitaire pieces set in a traditional stone setting technique called Kundan capture a more traditional Indian look and feel. Believed to have originated in India, Kundan is considered to be one of the world's oldest methods of setting gemstones, and the Kundan Vintage Diamond Collection has already become a favorite of celebrities and retailers alike with pieces that start at $650.

Jewelry from India has influence around the globe

Legend Amrapali's Indian influence can be seen throughout the new site with its powerful, visceral campaign imagery of an ethereal beauty embracing the grace, spirituality and complexity of emotion expressed through dance, of which the Legendary Indian courtesan, Amrapali, was known.  Bold hero pieces featured on raw surfaces symbolize the harmonious blending of rich history and tradition with new, modern ways.  Prominent references to the Lotus, revered as the flower of India, can be seen throughout the site and various collections, as well as immortalized in the Legend Amrapali logo.
