Here is What We've Been up to!

It may be a while since we last posted, but here at Ben-Amun we have been crazy busy with all sorts of projects! We worked with several designers during NYFW, previewed our brand new collections for fall at Coterie, and we are already starting up some exciting projects! Take a look below for a preview of the wide range of designers that we were lucky to design and produce jewelry for.
 


Rebecca Taylor has long been known and respected for her feminine pieces that flow effortlessly down the runway. Kate Sebbah, stylist for Rebecca’s show, took an interest in Isaac’s work with Italian resin.  She and Rebecca wanted cuffs painted in a solid deep green jewel tone to give the illusion of depth to the floral patterns in the fall collection.  We think it was a perfect fit! 

We were thrilled when Jonathan Simkhai came to us with a need for androgynous pieces that included some new materials Isaac had not previously worked with such as leather and pyrite for his third showing during NYFW. We were excited to combine Jonathan’s sleek downtown hipster looks with Isaac’s over 30 years of experience in the business.  The two worked together along with stylist Susan Joy to create jewelry that spoke to a new demographic for both!
Finland based designer Paola Suhonen of IVANAHelsinki found several pieces from our Portofino Gold collection, to be used as a bold compliment to her fall “Velvet Lake” collection.  As the closing show at Lincoln Center, the IVANAHelsinki collection used soft materials and a print designed by Paola in black, ivory, greens, soft blues and pinks. The jewelry was a standout with the 60s inspired empire waist and A-line cut dresses Paola is known for. 


Brian Wood, designer for Silvio Liu’s second collection, used dark tones and heavy fabrics for his cocktail attire. Ben-Amun’s classic Spike and Metal Industria collections in silver were used to give the collections a bit of edge in the styling.
