TFW diary: Jewels take the stage at Micalla

By Corinne Perez-Abergel

Montreal based jewelry designer Camilla Jorgensen said, “we are thinking about our future and our past” when describing her latest Micalla collection. Seventies Hollywood glamour set the stage for Jorgensen’s collection as models strutted down the runway to Jazz music in sexy LBDs with their hair tousled in short blonde bobs pinned at the side.  The perfect palette for the jewelry to shine, and did it ever.  The models were draped in jewels, everything from bold statement necklaces to Swarovski encrusted chokers with chains oozing from them. The most memorable by far were the fringe-like crystal harnesses. I was inspired by Camilla’s ability to make the jewellery the entire focus of the outfit, at times resembling actual pieces of clothing. And really, who doesn’t want to be draped crystals?
