STF: Did you know Michelle Obama had bought a piece of your jewelry? Were you surprised when you saw her wearing it?
DL: No, I didn't. We sent Ikram Goldman of Ikram Chicago (who carries the FENTON collection) a selection of our new resort collection but had no idea one of the pieces would end up on Mrs. Obama. I was shocked and elated! She always looks impeccable and is so confident in her style.
STF: Tell us a little about the piece she was wearing, what inspired it.
DL: Her piece is one-of-a-kind but there is a whole series in that group from resort 2009/2010. It's a tribal/deco mix of bib rhinestones and vintage coins with mixed metal chains. I loved the idea of mixing very refined elements with bohemian tribal details.
“TRIBAL” ???
So now her jewelery makes some sort of secret Kenyan statement, even though she’s not the Kenyan? I guess it’s to let people outside the country in on the joke.
Zero looks like he’s humming to himself: “Back in the USSR, boy, you don’t know how lucky you are...Been away so long I hardly knew the place Gee, it’s good to be back home...”
