A few weeks ago we mentioned the exciting work being done by outstanding fashion designer Mr Elliott J. Frieze and it’s launch at London Fashion Week. We are very pleased that we have been able to work with Elliott and contribute some of our beautiful natural semi-precious gemstone beads for use as a highlight for one of the core pieces of his collection.

The particular (STUNNING!) piece which highlighted our gorgeous beads was this elegant Prince of Wales fabric dress, highlighted with lovely Tiger-eye and Natural crystal teardrop beads from Empire Beads. You can see more close-ups of this, well it really is a work-of-art, on Elliott’s Collection Showcase page and on This Page.

Elliott’s inspiring design illustrates the power of extending creativity with beads, crystals, semi-precious and other embellishments away from more traditional jewellery applications. These exquisite pieces show how the strong designs of Elliott’s fashions have been subtly augmented with the strategic application to create pieces which are unique, elegant and strikingly feminine. We encourage all of our beaders to explore beyond their traditional jewellery focus and join those who are finding passion and creativity in applying beads to fashion (and more than seed beads at that!),

All reports are that Elliott’s collection received rave reviews and he continues to be recognised as one of the “designers to watch” in international fashion circles. We’d like to congratulate Elliott on his stunning work and thank him for choosing Empire Beads and our collection of  natural semi-precious gemstone beads for his work.
