Teenage Fashion Designer, Phoenix Bess, Launches New “Embellished Silks” Collection

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 14, 2008 – Teenage fashion designer, Phoenix Bess, announces the debut of her new “Embellished Silks” Collection of luxury berets, skullcaps, and shrugs, now available from her new shop at http://www.phoenixbess.com. All are artisan-made; featuring the finest hand dyed 100% silk yarn studded with sequins, European glass beads, stone chips, and Swarovski Crystals.

Available in a luscious assortment of colors with subtle color gradations inherent to the hand dyeing process, the three pieces in the collection mix and match perfectly. Beret and skullcap embellishment options include European glass beads, sequins, stone chips, and Swarovski Crystals. The shrug is embellished with dainty glittering sequins, making it the perfect way to borrow Helen Mirren’s Oscar look - a subtle, but glamorous accent to any evening gown. Or, wear it with a T and jeans for daytime fun.

No two pieces are alike. Featuring hand dyed silk with embellishments strung by hand, all of the shrugs and hats are hand made by knitters receiving fair wages for their work. With endless styling combinations, the garments are the perfect addition to any wardrobe and prices range from $120 - $400.  

Shopping online at http://www.phoenixbess.com is also a great way to snag trunk show samples and made-by-Phoenix originals, too. These samples are much sought after by non-knitters, and due to the number of requests for them, Phoenix has finally made them available for purchase.
