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.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
