About DELAFUENTE:
DELAFUENTE was founded in 2015 by designer and visionary, Eli Delafuente. Delafuente started his career in the automotive industry and he worked as a BMW technician, until at the age of 26, he decided to make a career change from automobiles to designer. He taught himself everything he could about clothing, such as pattern making, sewing machines, garment construction, how to sew, etc.
Three years, 13 machines and many silk shirts later, he upgraded to a bigger studio where the Delafuente brand currently operates, doing everything in house; from design, to pattern making, prototypes, production, shipping and distribution.
Delafuente began the brand with the idea of elevating the iconic T-shirt; updating this closet staple by adding a silk trim to the hem of his first menswear collection under the DELAFUENTE name.
DELAFUENTE has recently launched its inaugural womenswear collection titled “Westlake” which features an edgy and artistic take on traditional denim silhouettes. Their Split Boyfriend Jean showcases the brand’s innovation by playing with the contrasting backside of denim to create paneling and texture throughout the garments.
The brand offers an array of styles that are ever-changing, with raw hems that naturally get worn in over time and jeans with snap-on fringe, the brand is offering must-have looks with their modern touch.

Celebrity jeweller Le Vian stages 20th anniversary Chocolate Diamonds® catwalk fundraiser in Las Vegas raising almost $500,000 for children's and cancer charities
Las Vegas: American jeweler to the stars, Le Vian, has celebrated 20 years of its record-busting Chocolate Diamonds® with a glittering retrospective catwalk, which also portrayed 7 trends Le Vian believes will rock the jewellery world in 2020, while raising almost $500,000 for children’s and cancer charities
Le Vian models sashayed down the runway in a packed Las Vegas ballroom at the Venetian Hotel on Sun 2 June in a catwalk show that looked both to the past and the future, with an audience of top retailers and superfan Le Vian collectors.
The evening’s proceedings included two impromptu ovations. One for the man who pledged $175,000 (matched dollar for dollar by Le Vian) in exchange for nothing more than a balloon and a rose. The highlight of the night however was for one of the serving staff – a single father – who was so moved by the stories of the evening that he stopped work and through tears, explained that he wished to pledge $200 in honour of his father who had died in his 50s from cancer. He has since been offered a job by the billionaire top donor of the night.
Le Vian Chocolate Diamonds® is a trademarked brand of natural fancy colour brown diamonds which denote a superior quality of brown diamonds.
The Le Vian Chocolate Diamonds® story involves two world-firsts:
– Le Vian is the world’s only company that has succeeded in legally acquiring the right to name a diamond. Registering the trademark for Chocolate Diamonds® took 8 years in the US and a further 1 year to extend the rights to Europe, China, India and dozens of other countries.
– Le Vian is the only jewellery brand worldwide with the right to emit a chocolate scent from a jewellery store. The Chocolate Diamonds® scent took 18 months to produce using one of the world’s most experienced perfumeries and is one of only 13 scents to be registered as a trademark on the planet and the only one on earth to ever achieve trademark registration in jewellery.
Catwalk looks reflected the 20 year journey of Chocolate Diamond® delicacies spanning Vanilla Gold® and Strawberry Gold® settings, Chocolate Diamond® timepieces, the Chocolate Weddings collection and the more recent winning combination of Chocolate Diamonds® and Nude Diamonds™ – a chronicle of success all achieved against a backdrop of A-list celebrity wearers including Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Rihanna (who wears Chocolate Diamond® earrings in her newest ad campaign for Fenty Beauty).
The Le Vian catwalk also revealed the following 2020 trends:
Trend of the year: Bold Gold – glossy and brushed gold giving diamonds a wearable feel, against a backdrop of growing demand for gold as a preserver of wealth
Theme of the year: Heavenly Halos– Keeping the central stones in the spotlight including GemLinks™, Baguette Frenzy™ and Taj Mahal™
Cut of the year: Pear-shaped– From central stones to carefully positioned gems that become a butterfly or the petal of a four leafed clover
Diamond of the year: Chocolate Diamonds® and Nude Diamonds™ – the perfect combination of neutral tones including the 20th anniversary XX Gladiator design
Gem of the year: Emeralds – a symbol of prosperity, rebirth and serenity. 2020 sees the Le Vian Costa Smerelda Emerald™as gem of the year
Fall 2019 colour: Berrylicious Reds and Blues– Two of America’s favourite colours.
Think Passion Ruby™, Blueberry Tanzanite™and Cornflower Ceylon Sapphire™
Spring 2020 colour: Le Vian Nature Greens – The arrival of spring inspires Mint Julep Quartz™, Pistachio Diopside®, Forest Green Tsavorite™ and Costa Smerelda Emeralds™
Feature of the year: Phenomena– The eye-catching effects of iridescence, translucency and matrix structures in Cat’s Eye Alexandrite which changes colour dependent on light, and Peacock Aquaprase™

DIAMOND EMPOWERMENT FUND PRESENTS 2019 ‘GOOD AWARD’ TO LEADING DIAMOND MINER AND LUXURY JEWELER GROUP
Raises Funds To Help Student Scholars from Diamond Communities
Before an audience of industry leaders, heads of state and foreign dignitaries, The Diamond Empowerment Fund (D.E.F.) last night bestowed its Diamonds Do Good Award for Community Stewardship to leading diamond miner ALROSA and its Diamonds Do Good Award for Community Building to the leading independent jewelers that comprise the Luxury Jewelers Resource Group.
The funds raised will be used to provide higher-education scholarships and assistance to empower young people living in diamond producing countries and where the diamond industry does business, and to help communicate this ‘Diamonds Do Good’ impact to consumers.
Botswana Top Achiever student and recent Stanford graduate, Moratwa Chamme, represented D.E.F’s Student Scholars. She said, “This [scholarship] is not just college tuition. To my country, Botswana, it is an investment in its human capital and evidence of the positive impact of diamonds.”
Dignitaries attending the event included His Excellency Dr. Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi, president of the Republic of Botswana, the first lady, Mrs Neo Jane Masisi and a delegation of senior leaders from Botswana.
The successful event was aided by an encore of last year’s first-ever industry “Balloons For Good” appeal. Emceed by Awards Chair and president of Fred Meyers Jewelers, Pete Engel, the on-site appeal raised additional dollars for D.E.F’s mission.
Honorees receiving Diamonds Do Good awards for their own efforts at bringing about social impact change included diamond mining giant, ALROSA. Noted CEO Sergey Ivanov; “We set ourselves an ambitious task, to make ALROSA’s regions of operation develop together with the company by providing employees a good wage, safe working conditions, modern infrastructure and strong social development programs which have been a key priority of the company since diamonds were first found in Yakutia in 1954.”
The Luxury Jewelers Resource Group was awarded the Diamonds do Good Community Building Award for their efforts at fostering positive social programs in the neighborhoods in which their stores are located. Noted Michael Pollak, CEO of Hyde Park Jewelers who accepted the award for the group, “I believe this award will inspire other jewelers to [continue to] elevate their business practices to serve their clients and communities in an ethical and transparent manner…when we can foster this spirit among our peers, this represents a win for the entire industry”.
D.E.F. president Anna Martin, also senior vice president of GIA, closed the evening by saying “the recipients of this year’s Diamonds Do Good Awards truly reflect the ongoing positive impact being fostered by the diamond industry around the world. Sharing these stories with our consumers is not only good for business, it is a responsibility for the entire industry.”
Lead sponsors of the Diamonds Do Good Awards included De Beers, the Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, Signet Jewelers (Kay Jewelers, Jared the Galleria of Jewelry, Zales Jewelers), ALROSA, Le Vian, and the JCK Industry Fund.

The Mighty Company and Ilaria Urbinati Celebrate Collaboration!
Luxury jacket brand, The Mighty Company, teamed up with celebrity stylist, Ilaria Urbinati, on a capsule collection with 100% of the profits benefiting Unchained At Last. Lili Reinhart is the face of the campaign. Inspired by a break-up, Urbinati and The Mighty Company's Jessie Willner worked closely together to create a collection that drew inspiration from the galaxy, owed to the classic parting phrase: "I need space." The duo translated that concept into a three-piece capsule entitled, "The Breakup Collection." Filled with planetary and celestial hand-cut elements atop a spectrum of specialty metallic and patent leathers, finished with light-hearted phrases for both the self-admittedly vulnerable ("Lost") and the defiant ("Miss Galaxy"). Within 3 jackets, the collection communicates the pair's proclivity to a brand of slight irony reserved for the woman in control of her own cosmic fate. What started out as a passion project between longtime friends quickly transformed into a bigger mission. Realizing their own good fortune in having a support system to lean on, they decided to make it about women who don't. They partnered with Unchained At Last, a nonprofit dedicated to stopping forced and child marriages and helping survivors rebuild their lives. With 100% of the proceeds from "The Breakup Collection" donated to Unchained At Last, The Mighty Company and Ilaria hope to offer women the support they need to rise above their given circumstances. Per Willner: "We can pick lust over love, or love over suitability, or designate what our 'type' is, or be very decidedly single. We're seeking with this project to give back to the women it touches one thing we so easily take for granted: Choice." Urbinati adds: "We realize we are very lucky to have grown up under circumstances wherein we get to make our own choices in our lives: to go after our dreams and the careers we choose, to marry or break up with the partners we choose, to make the decisions we ourselves select. So we wanted to help support and empower girls and women who don't have that simple privilege." Lili Reinhart, a friend of the brand, heard the cause and agreed to shoot the campaign in a heartbeat. Photographed by Willner in the company's LA studio, converted to become a land of monochrome color and structured aluminum foil. Willner stated: "The campaign was space cowgirl themed as a tongue-in-cheek embodiment of a wild, independent woman in a galactic setting. Ilaria pulled up the September 1995 Rolling Stone cover of Alicia Silverstone and we had to shoot a nod to it. Lili was the perfect front-woman of this because she's this incredibly outspoken champion of women. She's not following some set of antiquated rules that accompanies overnight success. She's straightforward about what she believes and speaks out when she sees something wrong, demonstrating to a huge audience of young women that it's okay to be unapologetically yourself." With a desire to combine the timeless and the unique, The Mighty Company was created to redefine the classic jacket silhouettes in luxury materials. Launched in April 2016, the LA-based company skyrocketed to cult status when Gigi Hadid wore a custom leather jacket. Similarly, Ilaria Urbinati became known for putting a modern twist on the classic suit. Now one of Hollywood's top stylists, her roster includes stars like Donald Glover, Bradley Cooper, Rami Malek, Armie Hammer, Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and John Krasinkski. The collection is available for purchase today, December 4th exclusively at themightycompany.com. Jackets are $995 apiece. 100% of the profits benefit Unchained At Last.

Margherita Missoni Collaborates With Mott50 for Sun-Protective Swimwear
Margherita Maccapani Missoni has teamed with the sun protective apparel brand Mott50 for women’s and children’s swimwear. The resort capsule collection launched in October with an assortment of bold-colored options. In tandem with Mott50’s chief executive officer and founder Anne Reilly, Missoni has dreamed up performance swimwear with retro elements such as zippered necklines, flounced skirts, polo collars and color-blocking. Reached in Europe on a family vacation, Missoni said one challenge of designing this sun-shielding collection was the need for ample coverage on the arms and neckline. “Performance-oriented sun-protected swimwear is normally very sports-driven from a style perspective. It’s very sporty and contemporary. What I tried to do was to make it more retro,” she said. “Back in the day they used to cover themselves up more so I picked up some of the aspects of that and mixed them with contemporary fabrics and techniques,” adding that the references span from the Forties through the Seventies. While the average T-shirt provides 5 UPF, Mott50 apparel claims to have 50+ UPF to fend off UVA and UVB without harmful toxins that are used in certain sun lotions. The company aims to curtail the estimated 50 million people who are treated annually for skin cancer in the U.S. Missoni, a mother of two, was approached by Mott50 about joining forces. Missoni said she always has an eye on advancements in technology and performance-driven fabrics — a trait shared by her grandmother Rosita — the matriarch of the Missoni brand. Mott50’s trademarked athletic fabric measured up for its lightweightness and breathability. The women’s collection will retail from $58 to $195, and the children’s line will start at $32. (Missoni’s other collaborations have included Splendid and luxury handbag-maker Ximena Kavalekas.) Margherita Missoni has named a long-sleeved one-piece swimsuit “Margherita” and other styles also have names like “Angela” and “Lucia.”
Launch Party to preview the new Mott50 x Margherita Missoni Resort 2019 Collection took place Wednesday, October 24th, 2018 in Los Angeles.

About Nicole Frank:
Nicole Frank began her journey into the world of fashion at a young age. She was raised in California by a family of strong, smart women with superb style and careers in film, modeling and fashion. With a desire to create her own business in fashion, Nicole went on to the University of Southern California where she graduated from the esteemed entrepreneur program. In her first business venture, she began manufacturing handbags for women and children. She drew inspiration from the females in her family whose style was rooted in the 1960’s and 70’s. Nicole was enamored by the chic, effortless ensembles and elegant aesthetic of the era. In 2015, after years of working in the industry and becoming a mother, Nicole realized that there was a need for the busy, hardworking woman to find a smarter and more sophisticated way of dressing. Like many modern women, her daily uniform consisted of yoga pants, shirts and tailored blazers as these pieces supported her active lifestyle. She was inspired to create and evolve a woman’s wardrobe with an active wear collection that would meet the visual, technical and physical demands of modern day society and thus, the Nicole Frank collection was born. Using high performance and quality fabrics with moisture wicking and breathable technology, each item in the collection is designed to seamlessly take you from day to night.
