Thakoon Panichgul has designed his first jewelry collection for Japanese jeweler Tasaki.  The collection is all about classic pieces with a funky, modern twist.

“I really wanted to just go back to the DNA of what Tasaki’s about, which is beautiful pearls, beautiful materials and beautiful diamonds,” Panichgul said during a press presentation at the Grand Hyatt. “It’s working with the materials, making them feel a bit more sculptural as well, and modern. I wanted to put some youthful spirit into pearls.”

“There’s a tradition here, and they respect that, but they want to move forward as well and make it very modern,” explained the New York-based designer, who is embarking on his first attempt at jewelry. via WWD

NARS is determined to give us multiple orgasms. The newest member of the NARS Orgasm family is the NARS Orgasm Illuminator. It’s a sheer, illuminizing liquid highlighter that can be worn in various ways – wear it alone, mixed with or layered over foundation, on the the décolleté, etc – for an orgasmic glow. The Illuminator was seen on the runways of New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 shows of 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marchesa, and Thakoon. The Illuminator is a peachy-pink hue with golden shimmer. It’s the same universally-flattering shade as the original Blush Orgasm – the one that started it all. The Illuminator retails for $29 and I for one can’t wait to try it! I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes…
