Queens of Bling (LINK)

September 15th 2007 15:17
Designing a crown fit for a Queen is no simple feat but Jewellery Designers Ana and Contessa Nicolaou of Tessarella House have become quite the experts since being announced as the Exclusive Designers for Miss World Australia two years ago.

Ana and Contessa’s Tessarella House specializes in handmade creations ranging from amazing sparkly Swarovski crystal earrings, necklaces and broaches, to creations made out of semi-precious stones. Stepping into their store is more like stepping into a glam disco house than a jewellery store.

As the Stylist for Miss World I arrive in store excited at being able to steal the one opportunity within my hectic day to lay on the hot pink chaise, be seduced by a chocolate dipped strawberry, sip champers with excited brides and be welcomed into the fresh, distinctive and elegant Tessarella House of bling. My electric blue Jenny Bannister evening gown would not have been complete without the exclusive Tessarella House Swarovski crystal earrings and silver floral cuff. I loved the earrings so much I even wore them to bed. For a woman who never wears “bling” I think I have been converted.

Last year Tessarella’s creations were seen by 2.8Billion people and by 30M internet users a day throughout the Miss World competition, adorning the Miss World Ambassador at almost every red carpet charity ball across the country and on the Official Ambassador of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. With glamorous brides and formal goers aspiring for their creations, Ana and Contessa now know no leisure time.


This William Street House of Diva is a must visit location for any woman who values Bling.

We have all seen the power of the stylist. Before we knew it, Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe had Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie and Jessica Simpson all sporting drapey gowns over wispy thin bodies. One journalist touts that its only since Celebrities and Designers realised that revenue could be bought in from red carpet photographs, that the Stylist has forged a position in society on par to a Publicist and Celebrity Manager. They are THE ultimate accessory and Celebrities today dont leave home without them.

A new super power has emerged with the baby boom among CEO's, Supermodels and Hollywood's A-List - having on call one's very own Parisian Baby Stylist. I had the pleasure of catching up with the name in every starlets Little Black Book - Laetitia Lerouge

Up and coming Melbourne label Jaakan has only been around for a few seasons but already their favouring of beautiful fabrics and playful attention to detail has made me quite a fan. And yes, their logo is of a little boy peeing - a satirical contrast to their clothes which, despite a cheeky sense of humour are still not quite so crude. There is no mention of the inspiration for this logo on their website but luckily for the conscience of the average inner-city pinko leftie (guilty as charged) they refuse to use sweatshop labour

After visiting the Victoria and Albert exhibition which travelled to the National Gallery in Canberra a few years ago, I’ve been obsessed with Vivienne Westwood. It’s not just that she’s sixty and has a beautiful thirty-year-old Italian lover, although that does impress me, and it’s not just that she’s been an inspiration for generations of fashionistas, mostly it’s because for Westwood, fashion is thought
