Dee Hilfiger Debuts Judith Leiber Jewelry

French fries and champagne set the fun tone for Thursday night's debut of Judith Leiber Jewelry, bolstering the sense of whimsy that Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger has brought to the brand since she stepped in as both the co-owner and creative director in 2017 The jewelry collection likewise seeks to drive that idea, taking its cue from Hilfiger's designs, as well as more classic Judith Leiber bags "Many pieces are inspired by the newer designs, but there are other details, like cabochon or emerald-cut stones, that were used as closures on more traditional bags.

So there's something for everyone." The collection, which launches on the Judith Leiber site in mid-May before expanding to department stores, features roughly 500 pieces, priced from $50 to $1,000 "That was intentional because we want everyone to feel like they could own a bit of Judith Leiber, but I don't think we sacrificed design or quality for those price points," Hilfiger said A little more than two years into her stewardship of Judith Leiber, Hilfiger said she didn't have to look far for a good business model; and indeed, there was Tommy Hilfiger, never far from his wife's side on Thursday night.

"My husband definitely influences a lot of my decision-making, especially on the business side, which in turn affects design," Dee said. . Source
