EDITOR
Q U I N T E S S E N T I A L S T Y L E
EDITOR’S LETTER
It happens every year, that moment—the breathless pause that occurs right around Labor Day, when fall becomes a vivid presence and not just an amorphous idea. No other season is as hard to let go of as summer; it’s like ending a relationship. Although you have enjoyed your time without responsibility, traveling somewhere sunny every weekend, your routine calls. (And living out of a suitcase has lost its luster.) Of course, it’s hard to say goodbye to the delightful, delicious, endearing days of summer. So in that difficult moment, all you can do is sigh and move on and accept that fall has, in fact, arrived.
When you do accept that it’s here, fall becomes the most exciting season. Fall is magnetic and full of rebirth and renewal. The city is flooded with people coming home from summer vacations, students returning to school, friends greeting each other after months apart… And as the wind picks up, so does the pace, and everything begins again. In the words of Thomas Merton, “[Fall] is a fine and dangerous season in America. It’s a wonderful time to begin anything at all.”
One autumn event in which I know many of are readers are particularly interested is New York fashion week. During the first week of September, designers from all over the country showcase their latest and greatest looks for the spring season in New York City. However, rather than focus on what to wear eight months from now, this issue of Q offers readers a complete and detailed look at what to wear in the coming months. Our trend pages cover everything from accessories and jewelry to the latest styles from top designers. Our fashion round-up provides an in-depth presentation of all of the top looks on the market.
Another excellent piece on fashion, “In the Details,” comes from Daly Reardon, our star-worthy summer intern whom we miss dearly and were very sad to see leave. Her piece focuses on the sensational fall collection from Tom Mora, J.Crew’s vice president of women’s design. J.Crew is a company that has evolved over the years to offer one of the greatest assortments of contemporary American women’s, men’s, and children’s apparel and accessories—and Mora is certainly bolstering the house’s fashion appeal.
Meanwhile, another star intern of ours, Megan Malloy, takes a look back at the house of Akris, the Swiss fashion label founded by Alice Kriemler-Schoch (and the only Swiss house shown during Paris fashion week). Akris is legendary for its beautifully understated and minimalist approach to luxury. And Q’s fashion director, Daniel Cappello, writes about Jennifer Creel, an actress (she has appeared on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” among other programs), jewelry designer, eyewear designer, and mother of three. Admired for her sophisticated sense of style, Jennifer Creel’s sunglasses and jewelry are as chic as she is.
Our Living Legend columnist, Liz Smith (a living legend herself), delivers a touching and poignant look at Judy Garland, the celebrated actress, singer, and vaudevillian who lived in front of audiences since her earliest years. Judy herself once pronounced, “I was born at the age of 12 on an MGM lot.” To quote Liz, Garland “lived and worked always one step from the abyss...
Hollywood and fame were her Oz… Judy traveled too close to the sun. She burned and withered and turned to dust. But… The indestructible power of her voice is eternal.”
Judy Garland dedicated her life to entertaining people, and she succeeded as few others have. Although Garland struggled enormously with her self-image and in her personal life, she was smart and she had courage. Judy was never afraid to speak her mind. And with that, we remember Garland’s wise words: “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” u
Clockwise, from bottom: Akris celebrates its 90th anniversary
with a new book, Akris (Assouline); Jennifer Creel’s sunglasses;
Britt Ekland, known for her style; a look from St. John’s Resort
2013 collection; Jackie Kennedy with John, Jr., in England; Asprey’s
Oak Leaf hoop earrings; a page from Akris; a Chanel clutch;
a Bulgari necklace; Judy Garland’s ruby slippers in The Wizard
of Oz; a look from Valentino’s Fall 2012 runway.

Daniel Cappello > As the fashion director of Quest and Q, Daniel regularly reports from the runways on the latest trends and themes in fashion. In this issue, along with editor Elizabeth Meigher, he walks us through trends for Fall and Resort. He also contributes a piece about Jennifer Creel’s latest ventures in eye-wear and jewelry. “Jennifer is one of the most beautiful and stylish women on the New York scene,” Daniel says, “So I loved watch-ing her translate her own style into two collections of her own.”

Claudia Cardinale was born in 1938 in Tunis, French Tunisia, to a family of Italian immigrants. In 1957, she won a contest for “The Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia.” Having grown up speaking French, Tunisian Arabic, and the Sicilian dialect of Italian, she even-tually learned to speak Italian for her film roles, which included some of the most recognizable European films of the 1960s and ’70s. We all remember her in 1963’s The Pink Panther, which involves a famous pink diamond that goes missing. This fall, reclaim a little Carindale-style glamour yourself with a dollop of diamonds, or any stones.

In the 1920s, given the advancements in mass production, decora-tion took on new forms. Costume jewelry was born, with all the sleek-ness of the real deal (and all the cheapness afforded by the Industrial Revolution). Suddenly, accessories were casual and sporty, inspiring a new wave of readily available designs. A little costume jewelry goes a long way, especially on the stage and silver screen, but when it comes to personal collections, nothing beats diamonds, gold, and precious stones. Whether metal with colored glass or gold with lapis is your thing, we’ve found some high-end finds fit for all your fall needs.

Grace Kelly was the Princess of Monaco and the queen of cool. She was the embodiment of sang froid even in the most harrowing of Hitchcock pictures, including Rear Window and Dial M For Murder. Nothing, it seems, could unnerve the actress or make her blush—which isn’t to say she didn’t know a thing or two about the color. This fall, the runways were awash in shades of nude, beige, and blush.

Marilyn Monroe might have suffered from feelings of insecurity throughout her life and acting career, but one thing is for sure: the blonde screen sensation was a phenomenal hit in any curve-hugging dress she wore. Though celebrated for her more buxom appeal, she could also squeeze (or be sewn) into a hip-defining waistline to show off the classic Sixties hourglass figure. Designers this season are prov-ing that the hourglass is indeed timeless—much like Monroe herself.

Givenchy, born Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Given-chy, was an aristocrat by birth and a fashion designer by talent. As soon as his lauded fashion house opened in 1952, he influenced not only the way women dress, but how they carry themselves—from the feminine forms of his designs to the accessories they in-spired. While long gloves might have fallen out of popularity since Givenchy’s day, handbags have never been more “in.” And there are no better designers than these to help you carry it with you.

Brigitte Bardot’s first French film, Crazy for Love, débuted in 1952. Her first American film, Act of Love, followed shortly after, in 1953. No matter what language she spoke, people quickly became enamored with Bardot. One dialect she mastered was the language of high style—on display here in her eye-catching over-the-knee boots. Take a cue from Bardot and make a fashion statement of your own.

The Legend OfJudy Garland

self-generated legend. (“Sympathy is my business,” she told her daughter, Liza Minnelli. And her business was her life.)
Recently, the white-hot, ice-cold finale of Judy Garland’s life was regurgitated in the Broadway show End of the Rainbow. This was Judy in extremis—London, circa 1969. Her voice shattered (again)… Her career on the precipice (again)… Her involvement with an inappropriate man (again)… Her fighting with agents and musicians and nightclub owners (again)!
Those who are old enough to remember still recall the tremulous wraith who impersonated Judy at that point in her life. She was encased in her glittering pantsuits, still trying to give her all on stage, sometimes achieving a miracle. But more often, openly asking (expecting) her audiences to
“If I am such a legend, then why am I so lonely?”That was a familiar refrain of the late, great movie star and
live-concert phenomenon, Judy Garland. It was a good line. She made people believe it. She came to believe it herself.
The reality of the situation was that Judy Garland was never alone. She was almost always surrounded by people—adoring friends, brilliant co-workers, bewildered but besotted children, an ever-present entourage. Husbands and lovers. (Despite crushing insecurities about her physical appearance, Judy’s wit, charm, and sex appeal were such that she didn’t miss out on much in matters of amour. Men adored her.)
She was one of the most celebrated, worshipped, and honored entertainers of the 20th century. If, toward the end of her life, the crowd around her thinned, it was Judy herself who had done the winnowing. Garland was never quite the victim of her

forgive their long-lost Dorothy. It was not a nice time, those months in London; perhaps
an odd, even unpalatable, subject upon which to base this recent two-hour-and-ten-minute play with music. Supremely unappetizing for those with no appetite for a grisly wallow, but it was fascinating theater nonetheless. (Tracie Bennett played Garland, and does her volcanic best to make sense of the ravaged, latter-day Judy.)
It was a niche play for a niche audience about a niche moment in Garland’s life. I wondered, as I watched it, how a young person might react? Would they be appalled? Or would they think: “What the hell was that? Should I go to YouTube and check out the real Judy Garland?”
Most definitely yes, young person. Rent her films; check out Turner Classic Movies; pick up the legendary “Judy at Carnegie Hall” album (among others). You will find a genius—a woman who, in her lifetime, was referred to—without argument—as
“The World’s Greatest Entertainer.”Judy (née Frances Ethel Gumm) began in vaudeville. A child
with a voice so big some thought she was a prodigiously talented midget. No child could have such a powerful, soulful voice! Judy would later say she was “pushed” onstage by her monster mother, Ethel. Biographers have ascertained that the majority of Judy’s horror stories were exaggerated or invented. Ethel wasn’t a picnic but, the truth was, Judy loved to perform. She couldn’t be stopped; she loved the applause, the attention.
By the time Judy was signed by MGM, vaudeville was dead. The glossy studio that had spawned Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, and Jeanette MacDonald didn’t know what to do with this short, freckle-faced, pug-nosed, slightly plump dynamo. They put her in supporting roles, they put her on the radio. (Her rendition of “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” at the age of 13 is a miracle of emotion and musical expertise.)

over the success of Deanna Durbin.)Then came The Wizard of Oz, for which
she was actually too old—16, with her bust bound, but just right in so many ways. Her innocence was combined with a touch of irony and self-awareness. Utterly believable and true, she also allowed herself to stand back a bit, confiding in us in that she, Judy Garland, was really too sophisticated for this tale of tornadoes and witches and Emerald Cities. It was this tense, push-pull that came to fascinate her audiences, welding them to her even when she was depleted and strung out. Judy, in film after film (a relentless grind) brought something unique to American movie-goers, and later to her rapturous live audiences.
Judy was a natural, visceral actress, even in her Let’s Put on a Show! movies with Mickey Rooney. She was Method before The Method, wrapped in (mostly) silly musical comedies: Babes In Arms, Babes on Broadway, Presenting Lily Mars, For
Me and My Gal, etc.). Judy was the cheerful girl next door who, one felt, might cut her wrists over a callous boy. Her unique singing voice with its emotion-wrenching vibrato could convey reckless, raucous joy, as well as the plaintive cry of love embraced or unrequited.
She married and divorced. David Rose, the musician, bored her. Vincente Minnelli, who appreciated her sophistication and dramatic talent, tried to put that onscreen in Meet Me in St. Louis, The Clock, and The Pirate. But, like her mother, Minnelli tended to side with MGM. The studio expected her to show up on time, behave herself, be grateful for her good salary and the perks of stardom. Plagued by insomnia, driven to maintain an unnaturally slim figure, tortured by her insecurities, addicted to studio-provided drugs, Garland never felt obliged to be grateful, and she certainly never took responsibility for her actions. Also, she did not like to be told what to do—ever! (The marriage to Minnelli did at least produce the bedazzling Liza.)
Garland’s career at MGM careened to an end in 1950, littered with suspensions, firings, and suicide attempts. With the exception of Minnelli’s project The Pirate, her movies remained popular with audiences, but were too expensive to make. She was trouble that the studio could no longer afford. At the age of 28, a worn-out, furrow-browed Garland was written off as a “has been.”
Hardly! Judy met a new man, Sid Luft, with a new plan. She launched herself into a live-concert career that generated reactions unlike any other performer’s personal appearances up to that time. The fans who fell in love with her onscreen now saw her in the reality of her oft-abundant flesh—watched the enormous
black eyes well up and search the darkness, looking for that bluebird of happiness or the man that got away, galvanized by her dramatic body language, the use of those magnificent hands, which she used to punctuate her songs. (Judy picked up a lot of tricks from her pal, the performer and music arranger Kay Thompson.) She made history at the London Palladium and at the Palace in New York.
FA L L 2 0 1 2 / Q47
Hollywood called again. Garland would face the cameras as Esther Blodgett/Vicki Lester in George Cukor’s remake of A Star Is Born. Judy, now managed by husband Sid Luft, enjoyed a piece of the producing pie. The movie was over-budget, over-long, overwrought. Brilliant, but self-indulgent. Garland did her best to behave, but four years away from the discipline of movie sets hadn’t done her any favors. Still, the film opened to raves and rapturous audiences. Then, the film was poorly “edited” by Jack Warner, who wanted more bang for his buck: shorter movie, more showings. The resulting bad publicity affected the box office and Judy’s make-or-break comeback movie barely broke even. She was Oscar-nominated but lost, incredibly, to glamorous newcomer Grace Kelly, who wore glasses and her hair in a bun for The Country Girl. This impressed Academy voters. Judy’s loss was also a signal from Hollywood that they hadn’t quite forgiven her past and current misbehavior. The movie did, however, give
her that great torch song, The Man That Got Away.Now began a treadmill grind that surpassed anything Judy
had complained about during her years at MGM. The great star would spend the rest of the decade singing for her supper— literally. TV specials, nightclubs, and concert halls revealed an increasingly erratic Judy, battling her weight and struggling with that fabulous voice. Trouble seemed to dog her at every step but, always, she would rise again—back at the Palace, at the Metropolitan Opera House, and in Las Vegas—to screaming, appreciative audiences. She recorded splendid albums for Capitol Records—“Judy In Love,” “That’s Entertainment”—though none sold spectacularly well. Her catalog, compared to that of her contemporaries, was narrow, and her hit-making days were in the past. There were more children (Lorna Luft and Joey Luft), more money woes, more lawsuits, more marital problems, and finally, in 1959, total collapse and near death. Judy had abused herself to such an extent that her doctors warned her she had perhaps five years left and must never work again: her career, they insisted, was over.
Hardly! Less than a year later, Judy would begin recording again. She was cast in a small but crucial role in Stanley Kramer’s Judgment at Nuremberg, a poignant turn that would nab a Best
Supporting Actress nomination. Her weight dropped. She was pleasingly plump rather than shockingly bloated. Under new management, as the Luft marriage was in its final tumultuous throes, Judy began her concert career anew. It was no longer an “act.” Now it was Judy alone onstage, just the lady. A microphone and that voice. Audiences who thought they’d seen the best of her were dazzled again. A startlingly healthy Judy was booked into New York’s Carnegie Hall, backed by Mort Lindsay’s brilliant arrangements and orchestrating. The result was an event that became instantaneously legendary.
Better than rave reviews or idolatrous word of mouth was the live recording of the night. Judy at Carnegie Hall remained at the number-one spot on the Billboard for 13 weeks. Even people who thought they didn’t like Judy became fans.
She made two more films: A Child is Waiting and I Could Go On Singing. The latter contains a Garland performance that has to be seen to be believed. Playing an ersatz version of herself, she is magnificent. Never, it seemed, had Judy Garland been this much in demand, so in the moment.
TV beckoned. Two high-rated specials led Garland to accept what appeared to be a spectacular offer from CBS for her own weekly series. But the pressure and grind of this, her greatest comeback, was taking its toll. She had dieted drastically. There were suicide attempts. (Or at least theatrical cries for attention.) She was involved with one of her agents, the unscrupulous David Begelman.
Initially enthusiastic—especially with the promise of financial security—Garland soon became disenchanted. The very qualities that had made her a movie star and so beloved in concert were anathema to CBS. She was nervous, emotional, jittery, vulnerable. Producers, directors, and concepts changed three times. Although Garland was not always at her best vocally, and looked sometimes shockingly frail, she delivered dozens and dozens of stunning solo performances. If all that remained of Garland’s work were her renditions of “A Cottage for Sale,” “Poor Butterfly,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and “Old Man River” for the TV series, she’d still be a legend.
It ended after only 26 episodes. In truth, she was not ready for primetime. Not on a weekly basis. Not in 1963. Her intensity and realism was exhausting. The end of the series was, in effect, the end of the line for Judy. She had placed all her hopes on this project. She found herself in debt, again, despite all the promises of financial salvation.
Of the final years, there is little to say. She damaged her voice permanently after an overdose in Hong Kong in 1964. Caught in an unending cash crisis, she could not rest. One performance would be dazzling, the next disaster. She could still summon the old magic, but her “comebacks” were now endurance trials rather than celebrations of renewed strength. Audiences remained faithful, but even their patience could

be tested. She returned to the Palace in 1967, but her voice was in shreds though the theatrical charisma remained. Two more incredibly inappropriate husbands accompanied her descent during this era.
It all ended shortly after her 47th birthday and a series of controversial appearances at The Talk of the Town, a nightclub in London. An “incautious self-overdose,” the coroner declared. Judy had literally taken one pill too many. Her death generated sensational headlines and thousands passed by her open casket at Frank Campbell’s Funeral Home in New York.
What killed Judy? It wasn’t, I feel, her maligned mother, her adored father (who died too early to disappoint her), or the hierarchy of MGM, who treated her like a product—which, of course, she was. Not the men who “used” her, either. No, she was just too damn talented.
Normal life was never in the cards for her. (Did she even want it?) She lived and worked always one step from the abyss. She complained but never took concrete steps to make life easier. The maelstrom was all she knew. Chaos was part and parcel of her art. It gave her that edge. It made people scream and cry and
rush the stage. She gave her genius every step of the way. Once after a particularly good concert, Judy, who was
swamped by admirers, broke away from the crowd and locked herself in her bedroom. Later, someone on her staff asked what was the matter. Frantically hyped up by the adulation, inured to the inevitable letdown, she said, “What more do they want? I just couldn’t say ‘Thank You’ one more time!” It was her audiences that should have said “Thank You.”
James Mason, as Norman Maine in A Star is Born, tells Judy’s character: “You have that little something extra that makes a star.” The real-life Judy had a lot of something extra. Her legacy—that passionate commitment to give every ounce she had—is even more impressive today, in this era of auto-tuned vocal fakery and hollow “American Idols” stretching for the big notes. Not to mention the tense, ironic vulnerability of her underrated acting.
Judy traveled too close to the sun. She burned and withered and turned to dust. But unlike the stars of the universe—or the silly, transient rainbow—she could not die. The indestructible power of her voice is eternal. u

In 1983, J.Crew mailed out its first catalogue, filled with classic cuts and timeless pieces. Nearly three decades later, J.Crew is one of the most well-known and consistantly impec-cable brands in women’s fashion. Tom Mora, Vice President of Women’s Design at J.Crew, shared with us the story be-hind this season’s looks and everything that inspires him.
Q: What was your inspiration for this season’s collection?Tom Mora: This season I was inspired by the photographs of Irving Penn. His photos are classic, elegant, and timeless—that’s the kind of clothing we continually strive to design.
Q: How does this collection reflect current fashion trends? TM: Amazing graphic sweaters, head-to-toe prints, and beauti-ful novelty pants were all key parts of the collection.

Q: Can you give us any insight into what went into this col-lection’s presentation—what it was like building up to the presentation, the day of, any behind-the-scenes moments that stand out?TM: The whole experience was a dream. Putting the looks together was so much fun, we could have done 30 more! The fittings on the models were also a great experience. You really have to stay calm even if a look you have picked for a model doesn’t work or if a model cancels at the last minute—that was the only thing that was stressful. Backstage at the presen-tation, there was so much going on between hair and make-up, the models being photographed, interviews, and making sure everything looked perfect, but it all went very smoothly. I was so overwhelmed by the number of people who came to see what we had done, but it was a really great feeling.

Q:Your looks have a classic and timeless appeal, but are so modern and invigorated. How do you keep your ideas fresh?TM: We get to work with the best fabrics in the world so that in itself is incredibly inspiring. I also work with the chicest, most talented people, whom I am inspired by every day.
Q: Where are you looking to expand in the future?TM: The great thing about J.Crew is that we haven’t maxed out anything we are currently doing. There is still so much growth to be had in every department.
Q: Do you have any fashion role models or designers you especially look up to?TM: Carolina Herrera, Derek Lam, Stella McCartney, Tom Ford, and Ralph Lauren. These are people in the industry who conduct themselves in a manner that is as chic and elegant as their clothing. Even though they are no longer with us, Coco Chanel, Perry Ellis, and Geoffrey Beene will always be a point of reference for me. Q: Who is the “ideal” J.Crew woman today? TM: She is a woman of any age—that is the best part of what we do. The emotion that J.Crew brings to women and men crosses generation lines. She is chic, smart, understated but not dull; she has a sense of humor and a sense of herself and she loves color! Q: What inspires you the most in designing women’s fashion?TM: Walking around every day and seeing women on the streets, in restaurants, and on TV, all wearing J.Crew proudly. uC

by Brigitte Lacombe,
1986. > Opposite

Time To
Grow
Memorable roles and comedic charm in films like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Gremlins made Phoebe Cates a household name in the 1980s. The daughter of TV producer Joseph Cates, she grew up with ties to the film in-dustry, but she says business has always run through her veins. Now married, Cates Kline is at the helm of her own successful boutique, Blue Tree, located at 1283 Madison Avenue.
Blue Tree is filled with unique and interesting products, from magic tricks that evoke a memory of childhood to an original interchangeable ring line, aptly titled Change Rocks. Phoebe Cates Kline has a passion for her store and her title as a stor-eowner, and everything she picks reflects her charming person-ality. She has never been interested in following trends, which is precisely what makes her a natural trendsetter.
You worked a lot growing up. What was your first job and how did that experience help you to become the business-
woman you are today? > I’ve always been a pretty good businesswoman. I’ve been working since I was 10 at my first summer job at Gallery Drug, near Bloomingdale’s. I was a plain-clothes security girl, ensnaring unsuspecting shoplift-ers! (Well, actually just one poor old lady stealing Band-Aids.) I also started my education in jewelry at the illustrious Fred Leighton. My sister and I both worked there several summers in a row. Modeling and acting came fairly soon thereafter.
What makes Blue Tree distinct? Are there rare finds customers will find there? > We pride ourselves on the variety of the mix: small, thoughtful gifts; spectacularly illuminated, hand-carved lucite boxes; off-color greeting cards; and Victorian sterling-silver baby rattles, for example. The core of our business is and always has been jewelry, women’s clothing, and accessories. I personally have never cared about name-brand anything—only special, wearable pieces. Ones you won’t find everywhere and on everyone. And it seems I’m not alone.

Q U I N T E S S E N T I A L S T Y L E
How has Blue Tree evolved over the past seven years? > Blue Tree started out as a “neighborhood” shop, one that I hoped would be a fresh take on a general store, but a general store ac-cording to me! So actually, there’s nothing really general about it, I guess. To my delight, the neighborhood completely em-braced us, but interestingly, over the last few years, Blue Tree has also become somewhat of a destination store. We have customers coming not only from all over the city, but from all over the world. Also, a few years ago we expanded the back of our physical store space and created a home department, which has emerged as a major attraction.
What do you look for when buying products for Blue Tree? > I look for things that I would either love to have myself or for any kind of whimsical item that I could easily give to someone. The buying is, of course, personal, but after seven years of knowing what my customers respond to, I will also often buy something
I know they will simply love too. I also particularly love to carry items that might cross over age and gender barriers: puzzles, for example, or a simple black umbrella with the hardware dis-creetly placed on the outside, rather than the inside.
Does your style change often? Do you have any personal likes or dislikes? > I have never been particularly interested in following fashion trends. I don’t read fashion magazines or go to shows. I think it’s odd to look around and suddenly see that everyone is wearing cheetah or neon or something,

and it’s not a coincidence! People should wear what they love and not what they are told they should be wearing. As far as personal dislikes, I really just have one. I have a phobia about the color mauve. I don’t wear it, won’t have it anywhere near me, don’t even like the way it sounds —and I would never purchase anything in mauve for the shop either! But that’s about it; everything else is fair game. I think I shop for Blue Tree clothing and accessories the same way that I shop for myself. If I love it, I’ll try it, whether it’s de rigueur or not.
What are some of your favorite fall items that customers will be able to find at Blue Tree? > Some of my favorite upcoming fall items are the bright, flowered silk scarves with gold-bead-ed fringe by Prova and She-Bee’s brand-new color-block skull necklaces, made just for Blue Tree. Sofie D’hoore is a wonderful Belgian designer, and I always snag a couple pairs of her amaz-ing pants! Also, Japanese hand-knit sweaters by Hiromi.

You and your sister Valerie started a jewelry line specifically for the store. Can you tell us a little bit about the inspiration behind it? > Yes, Blue Tree has its own jewelry line, which is called “I’d Like to Give You The Moon and Then Some...” My sister Valerie and I worked on it together. The idea is that you can give someone a charm —starting with the moon—and then add on charms that symbolize other things you wish you could give them: the stars, a good night’s sleep, unconditional love, a silver lining, a snow day, good fortune, a pet monkey, and so on. We have over 40 charms to choose from and we continue to launch new ones every year. u

Shark Attack Sounds / To celebrate Fourth of July weekend, the young and the guest list departed New York City, bypassing towns like East Hampton
and Southampton for Montauk, where Ben Watts, Ben Pundole, and Mazdack Rassi hosted their 10th annual “Shark Attack Sounds” at Rick’s Crabby Cowboy Cafe. The Milk-
sponsored event attracted thousands, decked in everything from cut-offs and face paint to glitter and Hawaiian-print everything as they listened to music by DJs Chelsea
Leyland, Zen Freeman, Carl Kennedy, and Victor Calderone. Between cups of rosé, revelers mixed and mingled on the sand—and in the DJ booth. So, like, AMERICA!

Jennifer Creel is a woman of varied passions, many tal-ents, and indisputably good taste. She is touched by what might be called star quality; not only is she always one of the most stylish women in the room, but when she enters, she glides past gracefully in an aura of luminescence. Yes, she literally glows. No matter where she goes—riding horses at the stables, sitting front row at a fashion show, entering a black-tie gala on the red carpet—people want to know what designer she is wearing. And when it comes to her accessories, like sunglasses, cuffs, brace-lets, and necklaces, her answer of late has been, “My own.”
Creel’s designs in eyewear and jewelry have launched three distinct lines that are the talk of the town: MODO for Jenni-fer Creel, a sunglass collection for MODO Eyewear; Jennifer
All Eyes On Creel
Creel Custom Jewelry, a bespoke jewelry line; and Creel-Mack, a collaborative jewelry and accessories line with fellow designer Christine Mack (all available at www.jennifercreel.com).
“It all happened very organically,” Creel explains on a late summer afternoon, relaxing comfortably by the water on the east end of Long Island in a pair of her own Sabrina sunglasses. And it began with her own search for something unique. While vacationing in Italy, Creel spotted a gold jewelry designer in Florence and asked him if he could create a necklace for her that would incorporate each of her three children’s names. “Jewelry is such a highly personal thing,” Creel says. “Everyone is looking for something that’s unusual and individual. And when I passed this designer in Florence, I thought, ‘What could be more per-

sonal than keeping my children close at heart?’”The necklace, as it turns out, almost didn’t happen. “We were
in the car driving back through Tuscany when I realized I never picked it up. My daughter was shouting from the back seat, ‘We have to go back!’ Of course she was right, so back we went.” And that necklace would inspire and help launch Creel’s own creative outlet. When she wore it out, friends and strangers alike would ask her where she had it made; eventually, they were ask-ing her to make a similar one for themselves, so she decided to take the plunge and begin her foray into the jewelry business.
It makes sense. After all, nothing has ever seemed to stop Jen-nifer Creel from taking on a new role. Her career has spanned an impressive array of titles and occupations. She began as a gemologist before working as an interior designer with Pamela Banker, then moved into retail at Polo Ralph Lauren, where she got the design itch and eventually started creating pieces for the label’s active lifestyle lines. Motherhood called next, and after her third child was born, she began acting lessons with Harold Guskin that would land her on television in CBS’s “The Bold
and the Beautiful,” then on Plum TV. So when going back to jewelry and design beckoned, Creel took the call.
Her eponymous bespoke-jewelry line caters to the customer who wants a one-of-a-kind piece. She creates cuffs, pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and even belt buckles in gold, diamonds, and many combinations thereof. As one of her many fans, the actress Kelly Rutherford, says, “Jennifer has amazing style... I am such a huge fan and proud owner of her designs.” Vintage jewelry often inspires her—looks that have faded but have a timeless appeal. And memories of her family’s jewelry, including her grandmother’s Maltese cross cuff, childhood charm brace-lets, and ID bracelets, have come back to life in pieces from her collaborative Creel-Mack line. Her definitive style in both col-lections is classic but with an edge—be it upscale or boho.
And speaking of classics, perhaps nothing will stand the test of time better than MODO For Jennifer Creel sunglasses, an environmentally conscious collection of eight enduring styles hand-crafted in Japan of natural fibers. Worn by bold-faced names everywhere, they are available at luxury retailers like Punto Ottico in New York. The leather and titanium frames fea-ture vibrant colors like oranges, blues, and purples, which lend a distinctive feel. They’re designed for the moment, but also to stand the test of time. “You can put them in a drawer,” Creel explains, “and not pick them up again for 10 years. And they’ll still look great.” As will Jennifer Creel, we’re pretty sure. u

creating clothes women actually want to wear—a quality that is rare among designers, and even rarer among male designers.
“It is not enough that clothes should look beautiful or in-teresting,” says Kriemler. “They need to feel good, to be wear-able and modern.” Akris’s looks exude power, sleekness, and effortless beauty. They are uncluttered and never distract from the body of the wearer, fulfilling that elusive desire of the mod-ern woman to be admired, but also taken seriously.
Tailoring is approached with similar nuance and skill.“Wear-ing a good item of clothing is a little bit like inhabiting it,” Kriemler explains, a philosophy akin to the way architecture
Trends are the bread and butter of fashion journalists. The focus on looks that change minute by minute can often be the nerve center of the fashion world, while more discreet, timeless brands are frequently overlooked.
Such is the case of Akris, the Swiss brand founded in 1922 by Alice Kriemler-Schoch, who began by creating embroidered aprons on her home sewing machine. The Akris recipe for per-fection is demystified in a beautiful new book by Valerie Steele (Assouline), with 150 stunning images that display the majesty of Akris’s sartorial strengths. The current creative director and Alice’s grandson, Albert Kriemler, talks about the importance of

is approached. Lines, contours, and silhouettes are sleek and feminine without any fuss, opting instead for understated pat-terns and striking photo prints. A particularly poignant exam-ple is the 2009-2010 Trapezoid Collection, which featured a squat “A” shape—in a sense, a very subtle logo for Akris—that recurred in the shape of silhouettes, in embroidered dresses, and in quilted jackets.
But perhaps Akris is best understood in the wide range of women who have worn its fabrics, a diverse crowd that includes Condoleezza Rice and Angelina Jolie. “Fashion should not tell a woman who she is,” says Kriemler. Akris has created a brand that modern women can reinvent as their own, showcasing their individuality and refinement without any distraction. u

STAFF SELECTIONS
1. ElizabEth quinn brown, associatE Editor after years and years of wearing a barbour, i'm looking for something new. this puffer with fur by Moncler looks toasty,
and i love the color! 2. jihad harkEEM, intErn i was fortunate enough to get my first barbour from my English teacher at avon old Farms academy. although there
are a bunch of rips and tears, i like it just the way it is. i could've gotten it repaired, but then i wouldn't have been able to tell people that i had a fight with a bear.
3. chris MEighEr, publishEr and cEo My field jacket from l.l. bean, of course—been shooting in it for over 40 years! 4. stEFan doyno, assistant Editor burberry's
trench coats are my fall staple. you can wear them in formal or casual settings, and they're a perfect fit for those cold and rainy days. 5. lily hoagland, ExEcutivE Editor
the military styling of this burberry jacket complements the feminine embroidery for a look that's on trend this fall. 6. jaMEs stoFFEl, crEativE dirEctor as much cooler
weather sets in, i like to gear up in patagonia and enjoy the bold autumn colors along the trails. 7. valEriE Fox, art dirEctor Fall is the time to be colorful and, in my vintage
burgundy pea coat, i feel like i'm in harmony with the season. 8. daniEl cappEllo, Fashion dirEctor i have my eye on everything belstaff is doing for fall, including this
leather motorcycle jacket with some of the greatest detailing you'll see all season. 9. ElizabEth MEighEr, Editor i just love this classic from barbour for fall!
