Mulco-watch-1 Mulco-watch-2
Turning illusion into reality, Mulco Watches Inc. recently launched its new Illusion Crescent watch collection. With a sophisticated and sleek style, the new collection of nine watches includes a calendar and unique combination of mixed materials.
The latest creation from Mulco, the Illusion Crescent collection is uniquely characterized by mixing materials such as carbon fiber, different types of metals, various numbering styles and the watch maker’s famous silicone band together into one showcase timepiece. The combination of regular and Roman numbers offers stylish innovation; the watches also hint at a timeless romanticism and they retail for $465.
“The Illusion Crescent collection combines whimsy with artistry as well as a unique combination of mixed materials,” said Nicole Minionis, Marketing and Strategic Sales Manager, Mulco Watches. “This collection is perfect for the romantic at heart as well as fans of unusual watches.”
In addition to Illusion Crescent collection, Mulco also launched two other new collections for spring: the Fondo Full and the Fondo Wheel.
Mulco Watches Inc. crafts unique timepieces with vibrant colors and original textures designed to create a new and fresh statement in the luxury watch industry. However, trendsetting is just the beginning for Mulco. The fine Swiss movement watches are also all hand-assembled for stunning perfection. Mulco designers and technicians carefully work with fine and complex materials, including aluminum, silicone, stainless steel and ceramic to create exquisite and timeless masterpieces.
The fast-growing Mulco Watches Inc. was established in Switzerland in 1958 and later acquired in 2006 by visionary entrepreneurs with extensive experience in the watch industry. Mulco was subsequently re-launched, revealing a brand new look with much edgier sophistication, setting the pace for new fashion trends. Style, elegance and quality are quintessential hallmarks for the firm’s unique collections.

CheayRochelle

Native New Yorker and fashion designer, CheayRochelle, takes industry influencers down a virtual journey along a Victorian road where New York meets Britain with the launch of her “Victorian Nobility,” Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Captured by the feminine structure of sexy-vintage silhouettes, clean cuts and romance, each garment is designed with soft satins and tapestry materials kismet with intricate prints.

CheayRochelle 2013

On the heels of her widely well received pre-launched collection, Elizabethan System Fall/Winter 2012, CheayRochelle returns with fresh creative ideas set to amaze fashion enthusiasts alike. “Victorian Nobility” captures the royal nostalgia of the 1890-1930’s era complete with seamless vintage tapestries. CheayRochelle is already on its way to becoming a mainstay in the fashion industry scoring features in elite fashion publications such as Vogue, Elle, and Zink. Led by the artistic innovation of a Caribbean-American fashion designer, “Victorian Nobility” channels tapestry prints of royalty similar to its predecessor, all while conveying a new, unique story of its own; offering a solstice of balanced tones in rich bronze, gold and nude.

“I wanted to create something that was avant-garde, and stood out from what’s already out there,” says Cheay Rochelle. “Think royalty meets modern-day fashion, but with a twist.”

Shot by renown photographer, XI Sinsong, CheayRochelle’s Victorian Nobility’s creative artistry is provided by innovative jewelry designer, Stacy Armand, makeup artist, Binky Brown, celebrity hair stylist, Bethany “Queen B” Bell, footwear designer Featherlicious by Tye, and model newcomer, Victoria Kurek. With exclusive, behind the scenes video footage captured by Reece George of Young Doers TV, fashion connoisseurs can also experience the very essence of ‘Victorian Nobility’ behind the lens. Fused with the basis of classic luxurious design and refined silhouettes that also illustrate different elements of art, history, and culture, ‘Victorian Nobility’ incorporates CheayRochelle’s innate niche–combining masculine and feminine romantic styles, resulting in modern and polished couture

3Strands Global is an eco-friendly fashion brand created in 2012 working to fight human trafficking around the world. With the sale of every 3Strands handmade bracelet and gift box, money is raised to help empower, teach and employ young women who have been rescued from the evils of human trafficking. Profits from 3Strands helps to support organizations like Agape International Mission (AIM), based in Cambodia, that help to rescue and restore these young victims.

3Strands bracelets are handmade by rescued young women in Cambodia. The bracelets are made from wax-cotton cord that is dyed with eco-friendly chemicals and materials for treatment, processing, coloring and finishing. The woven bracelets each feature a signature 3Strands metal closure with the words “freedom, love and empowerment” appearing on the closure made to purposefully remind the wearer of the trafficking survivor who made it. The incorporation of a single red string, barely visible inside the center of each bracelet, illustrates the souls of these women and how they are practically invisible to those who have bought and sold them in the past. Every bracelet displays one fragile, red seed from the pods of Sandalwood trees, native to Cambodia. The discovery of seeds from the native Sandalwood tree were literally underfoot. From this litter of dry, colorless pods, the women select a fragile red seed to include in each bracelet they make. The natural beauty of this glossy, recycled, scarlet seed represents the beauty in each of the women who have been freed and empowered with a hope for the future. To Don Brewster, founder of AIM, these once discarded seedpods equate well with the human trafficking industry. Each 3Strands bracelet proudly carries with it a reminder of the inner beauty of its creator along with their personal signature.

3Strands was worn by Jada Pinkett Smith when she supported Prop 35 during the election. Bracelets are also in the hands of Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise, President Clinton, Will Ferrell and so many others as they were featured in the American Cinematheque celebrity gift bag.
