Dita Von Teese Debuts Retro Eyewear; Sam DiVine Opens Society Salon
October 31, 2014 | by LAUREN FINNEY AND ERIN MAGNER | Style Beauty
This month in LA style news: Dita Von Teese puts a deliciously retro twist on eyewear, ex-Sally Hershberger hairstylist Sam DiVine debuts the city’s first members-only salon, and more….
Dita Von Teese is an LA legend thanks to her megaglam, vintage style sensibility—one that she’s parlayed into collections of apparel, lingerie, and hosiery. This season she has sunglasses in her sights, debuting 10 styles in collaboration with—who else?—LA’s Dita eyewear (cofounder John Juniper named the 20-year-old brand after Von Teese, a longtime friend).
The collection is filled with contemporary updates on styles from the ’40s and ’50s, from a circular frame reminiscent of Rita Hayworth’s to several iterations of the classic cat’s-eye. “I believe in capturing the essence of retro style in a new way,” says Von Teese. “These glasses are all vintage inspired, but they’re not your grandmother’s glasses… they’re sexy!” From $235. Solstice, Beverly Center, 310-659-8611
Iro Introduces Fine Jewelry
Parisian style is the stuff that LA gals’ dreams are made of, and French brand Iro is adding to that legacy with its first fine-jewelry collection, available in its Beverly Hills and Venice stores. Classic stones and materials—think silver and diamonds—are turned into punk-inspired rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, ideal for layering with Iro’s iconic biker jackets and effortlessly cool dresses. 325 N. Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-276-1885; 1319 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, 310-450-9680
You Can Now Customize Your Stuart Weitzman 5050 Boots
Stuart Weitzman’s beloved 5050 boot is a favorite of celebs from Emma Stone to Elizabeth Olsen—and it’s now available for personalization in-store and online. Beginning early this month, 5050 devotees can create their own style, choosing from 12 fabrications and three heel heights—the classic fl at, the stacked heel, and the wedge—for the ultimate in custom chic. From $635. Beverly Center, LA, 310-289-0720
