Collective-E Holiday Party!

On Wednesday, December 9th, 2009, the GeoArt team skipped over to the Collective-E holiday party at the trendy Soho House, celebrating the official launch of Inner Rewards and one of the most exciting shopping seasons of the year! It was a fun event where entrepreneurs mixed and mingled and I reunited with some extraordinary women (hello Beth! pictured beside me here). Our Marketing Manager, Olga, sold GeoArt jewelry at the event, alongside other festive vendors. She and April, our newest LIM intern, dazzled the press and the made sure that party attendees got a closer look at GeoArt and its socially aware jewelry—our Eco Secret Garden Collection was a hit!

BRAG for Blog!

Glenn and I attended BRAG's(Black Retail Action Group) recent Gala cocktail hour where we chatted with BRAG President and fellow FIT Instructor, Gary Lampley. Magic Johnson made an appearance and was practically bowled over as people squeezed in for a photo op! GeoArt By Cynthia Gale supported the event through donating several suites of GeoArt and Cynthia Gale jewelry to BRAG's Silent Auction, contributing awesome beaded bracelets for their event gift bags AND we bid on and won the coolest, graphic, black-and-white pillows for our son Ian's bedroom!

Model Mayhem! GeoArt has got the look

Men have their wrestle mania….we have our jewelry mania! Earlier this week Olga and I decided to tray up the collections, pick up some antique frames and have her roommate, Eden, take some gorgeous images of our GeoArt models wearing it. Using our company’s dedication to the arts as the idea behind our aesthetic inspiration, we used painted canvas backdrops and a variety of frames to capture the artiste in GeoArt, reflecting our tag line ‘works of art in sterling silver’ and the relationship we have with museums and cultural institutions in the signature collection. These beautiful images will soon be available for viewing on the GeoArt website at www.geoartnyc.com. Keep checking the page!

Haydn Gwynne Visits GeoArt

Today was a busy one at GeoArt! Olga and I started off with a "go see" for Monday's photo shoot for our new editorial campaign. Stunning models from Click, NEXT and a host of NY agencys appeared one after the other with portfolios in hand. We'll keep you posted...

I'm pictured here with pal Hadyn Gwynne, the fabulously entertaining Mrs. Wilkinson, in Broadway's Tony Award winning Billy Elliott. Hadyn was on the hunt for personal gifts for some members of the cast and theatrical crew. She finishes up her NYC role soon and went straight for the All the World's a Stage Collection which I created in conjunction with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC- the perfect Broadway memento!

The Key to a Woman's Heart? GeoArt has it.

Last week we had a cool Geo-Moment! By listening to the needs of our stores, being open, and "digging deep into the drawer", we came up with a great Holiday gift giving concept.

At GeoArt we’ve had a strong response to our new Secret Garden collection, which is based on motifs taken from the novel. A store recently called us, wanting to order a dozen key necklaces and matching keyhole earrings for the holiday season. A few hours later, Olga appeared on cue with a shiny collapsible box sample she had received in the mail. After a quick brainstorm, the idea for our 2009 holiday program was born: The Key to the Secret Garden.

I can’t give all the details away yet—at least not until tomorrow’s photo shoot is complete, but let me be the first to say this is going to be bellisima…
