[frankie knuckles]

After Diesel and Ck Calvin Klein now Benetton announced it will start a fashion jewellery line..What's your opinion on fashion designers making jewellery? (Style, Price, Quality, etc.)

(Some designer brands making jewellery include: V. Westwood, Kenzo, C. Lacroix, T. Mugler, C. Klein, E. Armani, Gucci, Versace, Dior, L. Vuitton, Chanel etc. etc.)

Another question:

You have a €1000 (or $) to spend for a watch..would you go for the "traditional" Swiss made watch made by specialist watch makers.. (Baume & Mercier, IWC, Jaeger Le Coultre) or would you go for a more "fashionable" watch that doesn't have such a long history in watch making.. (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Dior)

i'm so into fashion accessories, but with the choices out there, it's not a matter any longer of a "brand name" or a "designer" endorsing the accessories that count any more. it really boils down to style, quality, price, and what appeals when one goes shopping about for cool stuff to coordinate with other cools stuffs in one's wardrobe.

when it comes to real jewellery, other than escada and chanel, i'm more after the established brands that have been in jewellery and are known for their works in that area.

chanel for me is an exception - and only because i'm mad about the brand since ines de la fressange became the face and muse for karl lagerfeld. and escada, well, escada diamonds are forever!

currently, i'm into biche de bere when i'm at play, and escada diamonds when i'm talking serious shit.

baby, we're all beautiful!
