Kelly Lee here from BussBuss.com reporting live from the GRAMMY Style Studio, where we are being treated to first looks from some of LA's most incredible designers. My favorites so far? Alana Hale's darling shorts, skirts, jackets and dresses and Brian Lichtenber's mirrored jackets. Lisa Michelle's whimsical pretty also had me at chiffon. Gypsy's beachy pink maxi dresses are now officially on my wishlist, too. I'll be sure to share lots of pictures and more details later over at BussBuss.com!

Style Studio Designer Profile: Marmol Radziner
Marmol Radziner is an architectural and design firm established in Los Angeles by Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner in 1989. The firm’s place as a leader in design is long established and was most-notably recognized when the firm restored the renowned Kaufmann House in Palm Springs. Since then Marmol Radziner has consistently been celebrated for its achievements in design, such as being named the 2004 American Institute of Architects California Council’s Firm of the Year and being honored as 2009 inductees of the Interior Design 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame. Tom Ford, also well-know for his contributions to design, is a firm client.
Always appreciative of a design opportunity that allows a connection to the natural world and the support of sustainable options, Marmol Radziner’s concept of a jewelry line that acts as a natural extension of the firm’s design philosophies was a welcome and organic addition to its already full arsenal of well-designed products. The idea for the collection came about while principal Ron Radziner was searching for jewelry that suited his aesthetics. When he couldn’t find what he was looking for, like many designers, he decided that the firm should create its own line to address the need.
The resulting pieces are made from commercial-grade bronze and designed to display depth and texture while being balanced proportionately for men and women. Each piece develops a unique patina over time based on the individual experiences of the wearer The aesthetic appearance of the patina creates a softer look through subtle color changes as the character of the piece develops. Therefore, wearing the piece is a necessary part of the completion of the design and the wearer of the piece is an indispensable part of the design.
Just as appealing is the process by which the pieces are created. In the same local workshop where the firm’s architectural models and full-scale building details are crafted, the leftover remnants of bronze from that process are used for the creation of the jewelry line. Metal shop craftsmen individually fabricate and finish each piece to the resulting elegant and balanced forms of rings, bracelets, and cuffs. The pieces have caught the eye of the public and the press and are currently for sale at Arp in Los Angeles and MAC in San Francisco.

| "Fashion is an avenue of creativity, individuality and self-expression.” –Charlie Lapson |
The epitome of American urban glamour, Charlie Lapson has become a celebrity favorite, citing Brooke Shields, Hayden Pannetiere, Brad Pitt, Kristen Davis, Will Smith and Jennifer Aniston as fans. Known for his contemporary and edgy aesthetic, Charlie Lapson’s approach to design is anything but typical.

A native New Yorker, Charlie Lapson’s interest in fashion and design led him to seek an education in his home state. It was while studying at New York’s School of Visual Arts and Fashion Institute for Technology that he was able to utilize his creativity and hone his skills. After dabbling in fashion design and couture, and leading design teams for junior and young men’s collections, Charlie Lapson set out to develop his personal label, featuring handbags, jewelry, and watches. 
Though Charlie Lapson’s collection has expanded to include cosmetics and men’s accessories, he is most known for his unique handbags. With a talent for creating interesting shapes and silhouettes, and combining them with luxury and functionality, it is no wonder why he has gained such a devout following among A-listers and Hollywood elite. Christina Ricci, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, and L’il Kim have all been spotted toting around his distinctive satchels and shoulder bags. Made from fine Italian leather, each handbag features hand-painted details, metallic finishes, and unexpected combinations of texture and color. 
For those that love sparkly baubles and dramatic jewels, Charlie Lapson’s jewelry collection is both luxurious and classic. Reminiscent of vintage estate jewelry, signature pieces include giant cocktail rings and chandelier earrings with precious stones and pave settings. His jewelry has been featured on the American Idol series and red carpet for the Academy Awards, and of course, the Grammys.
Charlie Lapson’s innovative designs and friendly demeanor has earned him a well-deserved reputation as a great designer, making him one of the most sought-after consultants in the entertainment industry. Photo Credits: Charlie Lapson
