URBAN THOUGHT COLLECTIVE: Love Collins' fashion review

     *Dear Lovelies,

     Fred Segal Man opened its doors to preview a few of their new lines. Young socials came out in full force to welcome four artists to the Vans Vault collections in the Conveyor.

     Sure to inspire sneaker lovers as well as individuals who are collectors of the brand, the new designers featured include R. Crumb, Rick Griffin, and Robert Williams.

     However it was the launch of two new jewelry lines, Browne & Co. and teraminO that I gave most of my attention to. I was able to catch up with a few friends at the event and even spotted my favorite new trend, the full length coat.

     I was quite amused by the oversized, warm, cozy mood these coats put me in as I watched, ok gawked at them. Check them out, get inspired! The event was very chill and there was a lot of good energy surrounding the new designers. I did a lot of people watching and even a little ear hustling.

     One girl was telling her friends how she found this vest on the street as she headed to the event. It was really cute; I wish I had found it myself. Here are a couple of the pics I snapped. Enjoy!

     Just two doors past the Koji BBQ truck Browne & Co. was on display with its beautiful collection of ethnic chains and exotic stones. Using a combination of ornate and distressed beads, and metals the hand made collection is the latest expression of actor turn model, turn jewelry designer Browne Andrews.

     The unisex necklaces, bracelets, and brooches are intricately paired with interesting feathers, coins, bones, and other delicious notions from places such as Tibet, Egypt, and Africa. Each piece makes for great conversation as well as pretty jewelry. Like the designer himself the pieces are fun, eclectic, and beautiful.

     After owning one piece you are sure to want to mix and enterchange the charms in order to create your own story. The brand offers a custom experience for clients to create jewelry that is a personal expression of individuality...
