"Of all the diamond jewelry at market today, Jeff rey Daniels Designs for Gem Platinum was honored to be selected by Kevan Hall. We were his exclusive diamond partner during this NYFW show," said Jeff rey Post, Vice President. Post said, "Working with Kevan to select diamond designs pre-show and styling his models backstage was a whirlwind of positive excitement!" Renowned runway designers sometimes seek fi ne jewelry to add a "fi nishing touch" to their lineup, yet Kevan Hall's "Faceted" show was surrounded by all that sparkles. Leveraging metallic and refl ective textile elements from the Fall/Winter fashion trend and shining into Spring/Summer, Hall was inspired by the sounds of diamond legend: Dame Shirley Bassey. Known for her sultry vocals in "Diamonds are Forever" from the James Bond blockbuster, Bassey's sampled vocals echoed within a thematic soundtrack and underscored a highly choreographed runway show. " e fi ne jewelry designs selected were just the right amount of diamond accessories, the ideal accent for Kevan Halls' gem-themed and vividly colored ready-to- wear and evening gowns," noted Debra Ballard of Ballard Luxe. " e cross-over potential from Jeff rey Daniels Designs is quite vast, which is most likely why Kevan Hall was so eager to pull pieces from this line for this show." "Jeff rey Daniels Designs for Gem Platinum, a collec- tion of natural diamond jewelry, enhanced our senses, whispered luxury at each runway step, and fl owed with Kevan Hall's 'Faceted' theme," said Pam Levine of Levine Luxury Branding.
