Kallisti Jewelry Collection 2011 from Xing Xu on Vimeo.
” The collections have always been kind of industrial and minimal, but this time it’s a bit more intricate, organic, mythical and nostalgic.” — Xing Xu

From the Press release:
In light of the three-year partnership between Gucci and The Recording Academy® – and the successful launch of the Gucci GRAMMY® timepiece and jewelry collection – the two partners have teamed up to help preserve one of the most important musical finds in recent years.
The GRAMMY Museum® at L.A. Live is leading the effort in assessing a Muzak archive that was recently discovered in a warehouse in South Carolina. The archives included more than 20,000 never-released master recordings of American music dating back to 1934, from jazz to early spiritual. Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry is the first partner to help the GRAMMY Museum support the preservation of this historical musical discovery. The effort will be focused on determining the best way to house, digitize and ultimately release the collection to the public.
“It’s remarkable that an entire chapter of never-released American music has been discovered in this way. To have the opportunity to release these recordings and help tell their story is an honor,” said GRAMMY Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli. “Gucci’s preservation efforts in other domains, such as film restoration, fit perfectly with The GRAMMY Museum’s commitment to celebrate the legacy of recorded music. We are thrilled to be working with the Gucci team on this important project.”
In Basel, Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry and The Recording Academy will present the exciting new project, along with a Gucci GRAMMY traveling exhibit that includes information on the preservation program, interactive features and items from the GRAMMY Museum. Both Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy, and Santelli, will be joining Gucci CEO Patrizio Di Marco and Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry President Michele Sofisti in announcing the new collaboration.

Sachika designers To-Nya and To-Tam Ton-Nu hosted a fashion charity event at One in the Meat Packing District on August 20th.
The Designers chose to support the Jack and Jill Foundation which is committed to helping children. Since the twins come from a big family of 6 children they wanted to get involved with youths that can better themselves and head towards a bright future.
Erik A. Cliette, the president of the Jack and Jill Foundation spoke about his organization which helps youths achieve their dreams and become strong leaders in America.
Robert Fernandez, VP of Mobile Matters accepted donations made to the foundation via text messages. Mobile Matters is dedicated to raise awareness for causes and to help children become leaders of tomorrow. Donate with love is their motto. Just text JJF to number 336283.
The fashion show featured 8 different dresses and 1 jumpsuit that is functional to wear in the daytime or nighttime. Sachika’s theme is always “from day to night”. Each dress and one jumper was presented with one model wearing the daytime look and the other wearing the nighttime look.
Sachika demonstrated how their dresses can be accessorized accordingly by introducing their jewelry collection. They were inspired to create bold and sexy pieces to add glam and spice to an outfit . They wanted to come up with jewelry that attract the eyes but yet are easily paired with anything. The Jewelry collection consisted of venetian glass, crystals, fall and fresh water pearls, agate, jade, vintage beads, and black gala glass to create unique pieces.
Sachika ” For The Modern Women” is essentially a fashion label that caters to the busy woman and her lifestyle. Their dresses are simple and versatile as they could be key items in any Modern Woman’s wardrobe. The same dress can be worn at many different occasions and ultimately from day to night. Accessories are ornaments that can easily dress up or down any style or outfit. It was natural that the next step for the designers was to come up with a line of jewelry.
