While the first Designer Flash focused on the bridal world according to Mark Badgley and James Mischka of Badgley Mischka, the new interview and podcast explores the glamour of designer Naeem Khan and his creations.

Hal Rubenstein, Gabriel & Co.’s global style director, met with Khan to discuss his views on minimalism in fashion, his Indian influence in his designs and how there is no such thing as a “statement” necklace, since all jewelry is a statement.

Naeem, who has dressed First Lady Michelle Obama over 10 times in the past eight years, also explains the inspiration behind the dress she wore in 2009 to a state dinner with the Prime Minister of India.

Like the first Designer Flash, Naeem gives readers his top 10 tricks of the trade to finding your ideal style. Some of his key tips include adding another layer of sparkle every day and remembering that the bigger the gown, the bigger the jewels.

The interview with Naeem is online now at https://www.gabrielny.com/designer-flash-naeem-khan. To listen to Naeem’s podcast with Hal download now at https://www.gabrielny.com/video/scene7/NaeemKhanPodcast1-AVS.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
