keeping it real

“This is the most successful preopening we’ve ever had,” announced Kip Forbes to the overflow crowd who had come to have lunch and celebrate the 2008 Designer Showcase, an exhibition featuring the work of 30 contemporary jewelers that opens to the public on Friday. In attendance were co-curators Ralph Esmerian (whose financial woes have put him in the news lately) and Beth Rudin DeWoody and members of the Saks Fifth Avenue jewelry-buying team, as well as many of the jewelers whose work is on display, some from as far away as New Zealand. Contributions from Cartier, Bulgari, and Armani Privé mingled with lesser-known names, like that of Mia Fonssagrives-Solow (model Lisa’s daughter), who showed “solid gold worry beads for the very, very nervous.”
