Lately I've been focusing on making a section especially for jewelry made from our leftover materials, recycled and vintage jewelry and parts. And it's almost here!

Giveaway with Pop Pilates Winner!
I'm really excited to congrate our contest winner Jacqueline in Anaheim, CA for December's giveaway via Blogilates! Jacqueline will be receiving her very own Capelet body chain. And thanks for all the rest of you who responded with "what makes you feel beautiful?" Some other responses included: "Little things, coming out of the shower after a workout... getting dolled up for holidays," and "when I am strong, and dripping with sweat after a great workout."
Whether you've been indulgent or not this holiday feel free to check out Cassey's fun Pop Pilates workouts on Youtube! They have definitely been a blessing when I'm not able to get on the train to get to the gym.
This month I'm starting to work on some limited quantity pieces which are online exclusives, including ones with rescued materials. If you haven't already please keep up with us on our mailing list or on facebook for more great promotions and news.

NY Fashion Week Fall 2011 Wrap-Up
Watching Custo Barcelona's Fall/Winter collection coming down the runway was amazing - brilliant color combinations and unusual textures, and also featured the endlessly hip handbags of our friend Laura Vela.
While visiting the tents I was asked to do this interview with Fashion World Live. Photo below by Stevyn LLewellyn of Modern Glossy after the Zang Toi show showing our new chain ring. Take a look!

Kallisti at "NY's Best Jewelry Store" Old Hollywood
This season Old Hollywood, proclaimed NY Magazine's Best Jewelry store of 2009, will carry select items from Kallisti including both our body chains and belt chains. Old Hollywood carries an eccentric mix of jewelry and vintage style clothing and accessories handpicked by fellow jewelry designer Tiffany Porter. The stores are also staffed with friendly, wonderful sales associates. Definitely worth the visit!
Look for us at both the former church-then nightclub-now marketplace Limelight Market at 676 6th Ave in Chelsea, and 99 Franklin St. Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Act One's Debuts with Fall 2010 Collection
Act One's launches its stunning new fall collection, and making the debut is designer Sallu Wu, formerly of Milly and Helmut Lang. Her independent breakout is both sensual and classic, and very transitional. It was a treat to be on set with the photo crew when they shot this at Bennett Media Studio right before we did the Kallisti shoot with Snow Xia.
Featured in the lookbook is our "Divide" body chain worn as a body necklace.

We the People's Meet the Designers Series
We the People Fashion Collective's first Meet the Designer's series was covered by Runway Passport. Read the interview with Xing Xu of Kallisti, as well as fellow designers from Eighteenth and Nico & J from the Spring season.
Thanks again for all of you who came out and supported the event and did some shopping and smoozing while getting your drink on! Stay tuned for next season's round of meet and greets with the Fall designers of WTP and maybe a sneak peak of the next collection from Kallisti.
