Scott Wilson & bros

Bibelotphile fave, Scott Wilson, has designed a capsule line of jewellery for men called Scott Wilson & bros. Here's a sneak preview of his U-shape Catch Necklace which is made of cast silver and comes in two different finishes: 22k gold and white rhodium, or all-black rhodium. More as it comes...

Cabinet of Curiosities

When it comes to designer fashion jewellery and accessories, Valery Demure is inarguably London's leading agent. Over the years her roster of clients has included the likes of Florian, Naomi Filmer, Husam el Odeh, Scott Wilson and Alexis Mabille to name a few. It was through writing press releases for Valery back in the day that I got to know many of the jewellers who went on to feature in my book.

With her distinctive aesthetic tastes (erring on the dark side), and somewhat fearsome reputation Valery is the go to woman for buyers and press on the hunt for something with a bit of bite.

Val's latest venture is a cabinet which can be found in the basement* of Liberty – a shop that has, in recent years, done much to showcase contemporary fashion jewellery.

The designers selected to show their AW2010 wares have got both mens’ and womens’ jewellery covered and whilst I don’t, as yet, have images of the pieces at Liberty, what follows gives a flavour of their various styles.**

* Having made the pilgrimage to Liberty at the weekend, I can report that the cabinet is in the Menswear department, which is technically the basement, but with a more appealing title.

**The jewellery on show is specifically for the lads. Ladies need not apply.

Great Scott

I just nicked these from Scott Wilson's Facebook page - they're shots of the cuffs and belts he made for Peter Pilotto's AW10 catwalk collection.

Here they are in action...





And this is a cuff he made for Peter Pilotto's AW09 show, which features in my book.

The Independent

Check out the lovely article by Rhiannon Harries in the The Independent on Sunday.

The book was also on The Observer Magazine's wishlist but I missed it. Will post as soon as I get my hands on a copy.

Let's Colette A Day

The Selby has some friends round to play

Thanks to the lovely Donna Watson for her bouncer-dodging undercover reportage and Karl Hab for the final shot

Scott Wilson

Scott Wilson contributed this necklace for the book launch at Colette.

• Scott lives in London and has a really cute studio which is much smaller than you’d imagine, give his prolific output.

• Scott has an MA in womenswear and millinery from the RCA. He is known for making beautiful pieces that blur the line between headgear and jewellery.

• The model on the cover of my book is wearing a pair of Scott Wilson earrings made specially for a shoot in iD.

• Scott says: ‘I can’t take too much decoration, my brain’s simple in that respect. My style and my tastes err on the classic side.’
