The lovely Myla emailed me to ask if I'd had a look at Bliss Lau's jewellery line, which is all about harness type pieces. I had not heard of her before but I really loved her work. The jewellery is designed to be worn like clothing, and very often can be worn in several ways.
It's very elegant and isn't as aggressive as leather or nylon harnesses, or even my elastic effort. I would ideally layer a few of these on top of each other to get something a little less elegant and a bit more random. Very nice spot Myla!

wow, that is so cool...i guess this is a fun accessory :)

Erin Wasson's new jewelry line is said to be a copy of Bliss Lau's designs. At least Lau has claimed so. She has even accused Wasson to wear one of her very own designs in one advertorial or editorial (do not know exactly).

Jewelry controversy -- I love it. As long as I'm not part of it.

My favorite bag is by Bliss Lau! It's tan leather with draped chains on it.

I own the tuxedo harness piece by Bliss Lau and I LOVE it! have been wearing it every day since I bought it. it is beautifully made and worth every penny.

Haha. BDSM Lite.
I don't understand the composition of that jewelry? What's it made(consist) of?
Is it only one piece that can be modified? Becuase wouldn't that be revolutionary for a jewelry piece?

Apparently Erin Wasson's line is suspiciously similar: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2008/08/is_erin_wasson_passing_bliss_l_1.html

White clothes will never be the same,
So much possibility with these pieces.

Ooh, I was just admiring her work in Fudge (Japanese fash mag). Seriously considering splurging on this.

i've been coveting bliss lau's stuff for awhile (this post rekindled the flame hahaha). it really stands out on an otherwise plain outfit. i hope to own a piece soon! :D

I feel oddly compelled to undertake a DIY project...

Ohh interesting! I like the uniqueness.
Posted by: Anh | Saturday, 16 August 2008 at 07:03
Apparently, Erin Wasson's line is a rip off of Bliss Lau. I definately see the similarities...stunning jewelary though
