Podcast appearances and mentions of Iris Apfel

What if the secret to better museums was … neuroscience? How can museums inspire human creativity? How much media should be in a gallery — or should there be any? How soon should you get feedback on your exhibition ideas? Can museums help us all “escape the algorithm”? What does knitting have to do with visitor satisfaction? In this episode, we'll learn some unexpected tricks of the trade from a renowned museum leader. Lynda Roscoe Hartigan (The Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Executive Director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum) discusses “Creating Effective Museum Experiences” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio). Along the way: standup comedy, Iris Apfel, and moon chairs.  Talking Points: 1. Embrace Human Creativity2. Design is Critical — Use Media Wisely3. Knit Experiences4. Escape the Algorithm5. Know Your Audience — Get Feedback Early6.

Today's guest is Natalie Holst, Founder of HOLST + LEE. HOLST + LEE believes jewelry can be the most transformative thing you can wear. These words spoken by the iconic Iris Apfel is the core principle and inspiration for Natalie's company. Their collections are inspired by the vivid colors of art, music, nature, and the symbols that make life beautiful and fun.  HOLST + LEE was founded by Creative Director, Natalie Holst, in New York City in 2012. Before launching HOLST + LEE, Natalie trained with Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs by day, and by night she worked in the hub of New York's nightlife scene, where she witnessed the best in outrageous cutting-edge fashion. Craving a fusion of art, texture and fresh design in accessories that she couldn't find anywhere else, Natalie started making her own jewelry, which captured the attention of everyone she came in contact with. It comes as no surprise that she quickly made the leap to introduce HOLST + LEE, which has grown exponentially since. We know listeners will love listening to today's episode!

As women navigate different stages of life, growing in self-knowledge should mean getting dressed becomes easier. Your wardrobe should increasingly reflect your signature style. Welcome to Episode 29 of Signature Style Systems.   In this episode, I have tips on growing in style as we age, inspired by the life of Iris Apfel, whose style transcended fashion.    On request of a podcast listener, and in consideration of the world losing the fabulous Iris Apfel recently, today I'm talking about aging without losing YOUR style. In my philosophy, this shouldn't really be a thing because signature style is based on self-knowledge and the self-discovery journey is the journey of a lifetime. In other words, as you age, you should expect to grow increasingly stylish and in this episode I give you some practical how-tos!   If you would like to suggest a topic, send email to hello@signaturestylesystems.com.   Let's connect!

Iris Apfel, som gjekk bort denne veka i ein alder av 102 år, var kanskje ein av verdas mest særeigne moteikon. Ho begynte karrieren sin i tekstil- og designbransjen, og har innreia Det kvite hus for heile ni amerikanske presidentar. Men det var først i ein alder av 86 at ho offisielt blei moteikon.

Hiltje Aukes Sipma was een van de vele Friezen die halverwege de negentiende eeuw besloot haar geluk elders te beproeven. Met haar man en zes kinderen waagde ze de oversteek naar het land van de onbegrensde mogelijkheden: Amerika. In de hoop op een beter leven en religieuze vrijheid stichtten ze, samen met achthonderd andere Nederlanders, het dorpje Pella in de staat Iowa. Welke rol had Hiltje in het opbouwen van deze nieuwe, Amerikaanse gemeenschap? Schrijver Anita Terpstra reconstrueerde haar vaak harde bestaan door gebruik te maken van informatie over de mannen in haar leven. Lara Billie Rense spreekt met Terpstra over Hiltje, en andere vrouwen, die uit de geschiedschrijving over deze periode dreigen te verdwijnen. Verder in Wat blijft: stijlicoon Iris Apfel, muzikant B.B. Seaton, en Barbara Balzerani, leider van de linkse terreurgroep Rode Brigades. Afgelopen najaar overleed zeer plotseling de 23-jarige succesvolle, charismatische acteur Reiky de Valk. Zijn overlijden was het gevolg van zelfdoding en bracht een schok teweeg onder vrienden en collega's; niemand had dit zien aankomen. In tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: het leven en werk van Reiky de Valk: Reiky was al tijdens zijn opleiding aan de Amsterdamse Jeugdtheaterschool te zien in films en televisieseries. Hij werd bekend door zijn rollen in Dertigers, Hockeyvaders, Oogappels en de Nickelodeon-serie Hunterstreet.  In Wat Blijft praat Nathan de Vries met regisseur Ties Schenk, vriend Arjan van Hesteren en met Reiky's moeder Anouk.   ---- Redactie radio: Laura Iwuchukwu, Nina Ramkisoen, Jessica Zoghary.

Odcinek na Dzień Kobiet, więc o kobietach. Nawet z mężczyzną – za to jak pięknie o kobietach opowiadającym, nie tylko muzyką...Naszym gościem jest Artur Rojek – artysta, promotor muzyczny, ikona. Oprócz odpowiedzi na pytania czy ściga się z czasem i fascynujących historii osobistych, Artur zdradza kobiecy line up OFF Festivalu, który w tym roku zacznie się 2 sierpnia. A będzie się działo. Posłuchajcie tej szczerej, czasami filozoficznej i pięknej rozmowy.A w kulturalnych newsach:okazuje się, że w tym roku podczas ceremonii rozdania nagród filmowych Amerykańskiej Akademii czas krwawego księżyca na szczęście nie przeminął z wiatrem. Opowiemy wam o silnych kobietach, które swoją grą aktorską i postawą walczyły z systemem.Zaczynamy od Hattie McDaniel – aktorki i pierwszej Afroamerykanki, która odebrała Oscara za rolę Mammy w filmie "Przeminęło z wiatrem". Wiecie, że nie została zaproszona na premierę, bo kino, w którym odbywał się seans było przeznaczone tylko dla białych? Jak działała segregacja w Hollywood? Sprawdźcie sami.Po Hattie czas na Lily Gladstone – rdzenną Amerykankę – pierwszą przedstawicielkę rdzennych ludów Ameryki nominowaną do Oscara za pierwszoplanową rolę kobiecą w filmie Martina Scorsesego "Czas krwawego księżyca". Kilka dni dzieli nas od werdyktu Akademii, a my robimy zakłady.Przypominamy też smutną historię Sacheen Littlefeather, która w 1973 roku wyszła na scenę, by odczytać oświadczenie Marlona Brando. Ten odmówił przyjęcia nagrody. Był to jego znak protestu wobec traktowania przez Hollywood i państwo rdzennych Amerykanów. Po przemowie John Wayne rzucił się z pięściami na kobietę, Clint Eastwood publicznie ją upokorzył, a producenci filmowi zadbali, by nie pojawiła się już nigdy w żadnym filmie, ani programie tv. Wiecie, kiedy Akademia przeprosiła Littlefeather? Zdziwicie się... Wychodzimy z kina i w Dzień Kobiet mówimy też o tych, które rządzą światem designu i mody: niedawno zmarłej w wieku 102 lat Iris Apfel oraz Annie Wintour, którą niby znają wszyscy, a tak naprawdę nie zna jej nikt. Czytamy więc biografię redaktor naczelnej amerykańskiego "Vogue'a" autorstwa Amy Odell (wyd. Marginesy) i przybliżamy jej postać.W cyklu Wstrząśnięte, Nie Zmieszane głowimy się nad tym, jak zagadać do chłopaka. Rozmowa o pogodzie podobno nie do końca wskazana... Za to o żal jak najbardziej!Na kolejne pytania czekamy tu:studio26podcast@gmail.comTo co, zaczynamy?Produkcja: Kara BeckerMuzyka: Piotr HaraźnyGrafika: Karolina Żmijewska

Ever wondered how your fashion choices could determine your success? Today, we're exploring the power of aligning values with your ideal clients rather than hard-selling and how your style choices – from your wardrobe to your eyewear – can impact your brand's image. We're looking at the undeniable allure of fascination–which is why making an outrageous eyewear statement, for example, could actually be a game-changer for your business, taking cues from icons like Elton John and Iris Apfel. Who knew that your choice of car, jewelry, and even technology could narrate your brand's story? Whether it be your snazzy watch, architectural jewelry, or the sleek car you drive, these factors all contribute to your brand's narrative. Learn how to harness these elements and reflect your brand's ethos powerfully. Drawing inspiration from the successful designer Peter Marino, we'll learn how to think, dress, and act out of the box. We'll also delve into the often overlooked aspects of our lives – our phone cases, ringtones, and screensavers – and how they silently communicate our brand to the world. It's not just about what you wear; it's about crafting a brand wardrobe that speaks volumes. Tune in as I share my journey of breaking away from a signature look to create a new wardrobe that better aligns with my brand identity. We'll take a closer look at the concept of a 'brand wardrobe' and understand how a support network plays a pivotal role in building your business. Wrapping up, we'll explore the benefits of subscribing and sharing the podcast and how you can interact with me directly. Let's take this captivating journey together and step closer to becoming an affluent creative! In this episode, you will hear: The importance of creating a remarkable and recognizable brand image through fashion and personal style The impact that personal choices like eyewear, jewelry, cars, and technology can have on your brand image Tips on crafting a 'brand wardrobe' that aligns with your brand identity How to use tech and business cards to effectively represent your brand Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

What you'll learn in this episode: How Joe's family history in the Thai diamond trade influences his business today How Joe generates publicity for his brand without a large PR budget Why Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry focuses on selling one-of-a-kind pieces to select clients How to wear bold, colorful jewelry without getting lost Why fine jewelry doesn't have to be limited to precious metals and gemstones About Joe Vilaiwan (Polthakorn Viboonviriyawong) Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry is the work of creative artist and designer Joe Polthakorn Viboonviriyawong, a second-generation jeweler. In his native Thailand, Joe grew up in his family's diamond jewelry business and developed an instinct for identifying quality stones and metals. A natural-born artist, Joe began designing jewelry at age 14, when he created avant grade diamond rings that hinted at his future career. As an independent visual concept designer for major retailers in the United States and Asia, he quickly became known for his bold, eye-catching store window installations. In 2005 in Los Angeles, Joe returned to his roots and launched Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry, which caught the attention of store buyers who recognized his unique blend of art and ornamentation. His meticulously hand-crafted, statement necklaces, cuffs and earrings became top sellers in museum stores and exclusive boutiques as stylish women in international fashion capitals began wearing and collecting his glamorous wearable arts. A favorite among fashion editors, stylists and celebrities, Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry has been featured in magazines, on runways and in film. Joe recently collaborated with Disney Consumer Products to create the couture jewelry collection for the major motion picture, “Oz the Great and Powerful.” Additional Resources: Joe's Website Joe's Instagram Joe's Facebook Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Although Joe Vilaiwan is known for creating large, over-the-top jewelry, he insists that anyone can wear his work—and almost everyone has, from Joan Rivers to Iris Apfel. As the founder of Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry, he has made it his mission to find the perfect piece for every client who connects with his work. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how he gets inspired; how he sources the unique materials he uses in his jewelry; and how he has gotten A-list press for his brand without a large budget. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    Today, Joe will tell us how he started his business and who his clients are. Also, we'll hear how he comes up with his ideas. Welcome back.    Do you find that your jewelry sells better in a certain part of the country?   Joe: If I find my right clients, I believe that in every part of the country or a certain part of the world, I think every part of the world, they will have a group or niche who are beautiful inside and out, who are intelligent, who have great taste, a good sense of design. They're very niche, but if I find them, they'll always be my clients. It could happen any time. I have rare clients. There are clients in Palm Springs, in New York, in Europe, in Paris, in Asia. I don't think there's any particular area, but if I find the right group, obviously everywhere in the world they will be my clients.    Sharon: Your company name is Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry. To me, it's wonderful jewelry, but it's also fashion jewelry. Have you considered changing the name?   Joe: No, not at all, and I intentionally called it that. Actually, we also have a fine jewelry collection. You must see it. I do not bring it to the Beverly Hills Art Show because it's a little dangerous because it's outdoors. But we've had a fine jewelry collection for the last six or seven years already, and it's actually been doing very well. We use diamonds, real gemstones, because I have my family backing me up on that in the factory and with sources. My parents bought them in cash and it was a kit, so we have a great source of stones.   However, even when I started with custom jewelry, I still want to call it fine jewelry. For me, fine doesn't have to be diamonds. It's just personal taste, but fine for me means fine craftsmanship, fine material, fine production. You find out about the inspiration and the way I design them. Everything is for fine people. That's what the meaning of fine jewelry is for me. That's why it's become fine jewelry for everyone. Even though it is crystals and shells, the way it's made is not different from the production we use with emeralds or blue sapphire or anything. The craftsmanship is always the best. I think I might be the only company in the world that has a lifetime guarantee. If something happens in the next five or six years when you wear it and you break it, we fix it for you.    Sharon: That's good to know. Is most of your jewelry made here in the States? Where is it made?   Joe: Everything is made in the States. However, I do have a lot of suppliers all over the world in terms of the craftsmanship or some stones. Some type of the necklace might be made in Thailand, might be made in Italy, because in its culture, they might be very, very good in some particular process. Makers in Thailand are very good at finding all those gemstones, the collections for the fine jewelry. In Italy, they are really good with the way they work with metal. So, I have a supplier who has expertise in different techniques, but everything is completed and finished in the U.S.A.    Sharon: Let's say they're good at something in Italy. At the same time, do you go around to different stores and show them their things and hope they'll buy something?   Joe: No, usually I view them as the artisan in his country. I just use them as my suppliers. There are some companies where I don't even know what the finished product will be. Let's say it's the pearls you got, right? Those are actually made from seashells. They blend them and then put them together as a big, look-alike, gigantic pearl. My source for that pearl is South Korea; however, they don't know what I'm going to do with the pearl. I'm the one who puts together the necklace and everything. Therefore, they will not know what the finished product would be, and I don't need to go to South Korea and see who is also using it.    Just by myself with my private clients, I almost don't have enough jewelry to sell to them. Mostly we used to do trade shows, and most of the clients who went to my trade show were museums. We're in museums in London and San Francisco. We are in over 34 art museums all over the world that carry my line, and they've been selling very well. The Metropolitan Opera sells very well with my jewelry. Those are the people and the buyers who will meet me two times a year at the trade shows.    I'm very picky about who's going to carry my line. I'm very picky about my clients as well. I'd rather have a good amount of clients, but they're quality clients. Then we can create a friendship, a relationship. Life is too short, and I like to work in that way so I can be happy and enjoy their company and they can enjoy my company. We can actually have interaction towards my art, and I think that will make everything fun and loveable.   Sharon: If I go to one of the museums in London, and I want to buy a necklace but there isn't one there, is that it?   Joe: That's it, yeah. You will be the only one who has it. That's why having my clothes in your closet, you see they have my signature on it. People really collect them. In the past, we had some collections that have art pieces for design, but the maximum is the other pieces. Some pieces have eight to 10, but that's it. That's the maximum. This way, everything is one of a kind. There's only one of these necklaces in the world, and you will be the only person who has it. I love it that way.   Sharon: I like to know that, but I'm surprised to hear that. Do you have certain craftspeople who work for you?   Joe: Yes, I do have a good team of people who work for me, and I help them as they are single mothers. I give them projects so they can work at home. We meet and I teach them how to do it, and then they can just submit their work that we are planning to do. My things are not mass-produced; they are not machine-made.    That's why I say it's important that these pieces carry the energy of me, who designed them or made them, and the craftsmanship of the people. This is not talking about the stone itself. That also has its own particular energy. It's the cosmic, pure energy to be a great piece of art. We can actually feel that. People can sense that energy. That's why it's important to give the right piece to the right person because then the magic happens. It's going to make you feel completely different. It's like you find the best version of yourself. I do believe everyone deserves that throughout every life.    Sharon: That's good to hear. I'll think about that when I wear it. I haven't worn it yet. You said you named the company after inspiration from your mother, or you attribute it to your mother. Where do you get your other inspiration from?   Joe: I have inspiration all over. I don't have a program of design. My challenge is to start designing. I get inspired so easily. I could see the dirt on the floor and think about the textures, and I have to write it down or schedule it so quickly. One of your questions is do I find the stone first and then design it, or do I design it first and then find the stone? It happens both ways. Sometimes I find a stone that is very interesting and see the picture of the design in my head right away. Sometimes I have the design in my head, and then I find some stone that will suit that design.    For me, inspiration comes from everything. I think you can use this with every perspective of your life if you persevere. You can get inspired from everything around you. You can look at the sky; you can look at nature; you can look at what people wear. I've gotten inspired many, many times with the way the homeless dress in L.A. We have the homeless, and sometimes they dress very funky, very inspiring, and I get inspired from that. You can go to museums or look at things around you. If you are creative and you can actually manage that in your head, you can get inspired very easily.    I get inspired getting things I haven't made yet. Actually, I have to screen that and think about how I'm going to put it into the collection. What would suit what clients if this piece is coming out? Who is the client I would think of? That's how I use my knowledge of advertising, to screen those designs and see what the best time to launch that collection is, who the best people to show this to are. But prior to getting inspired, it's so easy for me. It's not a big thing at all.   Sharon: How do you turn it off? Are you going to bed at night?   Joe: Yeah, that's very challenging. That's what my problem is. My friend was helping me try to find something that pulls my attention. I really can't turn it off because I enjoy it so much. For me, it's like playing. Sometimes I really need to get away and watch something completely different or go work out or travel so I can turn it off. If not, I would always get excited, like, “Think about this. It's going to be so cool.” For me to keep it balanced at this point, my age is very important.   Sharon: Have you thought about or have you had men ask you to design something?   Joe: Yeah, I have a lot of new clients that come in both sexes. A lot of them are gentlemen who are very busy, and they know their wives would love my jewelry. I have a big group of those clients. I always choose the gift for their wives for their anniversary. I have a group of gentlemen who also like big and bold jewelry. Once in a while, I do make some men's jewelry as well. I have clients who love buying men's cuffs and men's rings from me. I do have those kinds that buy for themselves as well. So, it's two groups of gentlemen buying. They are very fun, and so far, I have never failed them in choosing the right piece for their wives or their girlfriends. They're all very good about this.   Sharon: Do they call you or your assistant and say, “It's my wife's birthday”?   Joe: Yes. They call me directly or they call my assistant, or they will make an appointment. For my clients, I only take private appointments. If I'm in town in L.A. or even in New York, people will come to New York and everyone will make an appointment. I have a client who is the first person to make an appointment when I go to New York. She wanted to be the first person to pick everything. I usually have a private appointment for those clients, for some family close to their anniversary or their birthday or a special occasion. They come to an assistant or they call me, and then we'll make an appointment. We'll discuss the design I already have and anything particular or special they want to have in the piece for that certain occasion, and we make it happen.    I have to say that not only do we do jewelry, but we also do a presentation for them. We wrap them. We have the flowers in the box. If their wife collects teddy bears, we have little teddy bears on the card. The gentleman just needs to sign. They appreciate it so much because my team and I prioritize not just the beauty of the creations, but also the feeling, the energy, the complement of the relationship we have with our clients as well. For me, that's the part I enjoy the most: meeting my clients and having my clients in my life. I want to continue doing that. It's not always the product or the jewelry itself. The experience of it is also important for us.    Sharon: Does a person ever come to you and say, “I don't really know what I want,” and you can look at them and see something in them?   Joe: Many times, they say, “Is there something you think will be me?” Many times, I introduce new colors into their lives. I have clients who only wear black all the time, and I introduce a new way for them. I say, “You have to do this because it will make you have much more fun in your life.” I had one client who has now become one of my collectors. I said, “In three months, I'll take it back. You can exchange it to be any black piece you want.” Now she has new colors in her life. Now, she buys red shoes. Now, she wears some lipstick. Introducing new colors in people's lives is something I really like to do because people have to have fun. Colors are made to go. They give you so much fun, such a sensibility in your life, and you should enjoy it. It's my honor to be able to do that and help them have more fun because colors are designed in their lives. Sometimes they just don't know they could pull that off.    At the same time, if they find something I don't think would suit them, I would be honest with them. I would say, “Don't get this because I don't think it will actually complement your skin very well. If you have it, return it.” I would be honest with them. I want to choose the piece that would help them make the neck look longer, make them look taller, complement their eye color. That is my job, to suggest those to them.   Sharon: Do you have people who bring you their designs? Do your craftspeople ever bring you their designs and say—   Joe: No.   Sharon: “I think this is a good design”? Never?   Joe: Never, because people know I want to custom make for clients. I only design what I design. I have only made what I design. So, no, I never have anyone that brings in their design and asks me to do it, because for that, they don't need me. They can go to any jewelry production or jewelry company, and they'll have them do the work. It's easy. They come to me because they want my signature and my design and to wear them.    Sharon: Has anybody ever said to you, “I want this piece incorporated in what you're making. I want this flower. I want you to put this in the necklace somehow”?   Joe: So far, for the past 16 years, I never had that before, maybe because of my brand and my personality. My work speaks very strongly of who we are. People perceive them very quickly and get very quickly that we are one of a kind; we are special; we are unique. People respect that. They know if they ask us to put something, they will usually come in to find my creation that will suit them or ask me to help them find my creation that will suit them. I think that would be the best answer to that.   Sharon: If somebody wants to get ahold of you, what's the best way?   Joe: The best way to get ahold of me is through social media on Instagram, @VilaiwanJewelry. The website is Vilaiwan.com. People often send me messages through Instagram or email me at Joe@Vilaiwan.com. That's the best way you can reach me. Mostly I will post my answer back myself because I like to be involved. I like to know, and I'm excited to know, who is interested in my jewelry because my jewelry is not for everyone. I'm fine with that. I like to look at it that way. If it's not for everyone, then I want to know there is that one person who thinks they will potentially be my client. I would love to know them. So, I always respond to those messages myself.   Sharon: You mentioned, for instance, that in fall you have dark colors and the old color scheme. What if somebody says, “This spring, the colors are”—I don't know what they are, but maybe melon and bright green. Do you have colors that go? Are you influenced by the colors that are popular?   Joe: I'm not influenced by colors so much. The people that know me know I always put together very interesting colors, very unique color schemes. I love to put very dark green with salmon pink, or I would put orange and purple together. That's my signature, too, the combination of colors that people cannot think of, or the colors that people did not know could create a harmony that's interesting. It doesn't have to be a popular color. It can be any colors at any time. If I get inspired and feel like it will be interesting, I will put it together with the design I have, and it will be a fantastic piece. I don't know how to explain it, but if you go through the pictures or see my Instagram, you will see a lot of those pieces I have posted are very unique colors. There are a lot of colors that not a lot of people would think to put together, and those mostly sell very quickly.   Sharon: I was going to ask you, is there anything left? If somebody sees something on Instagram or Facebook and they say, “Joe, I like that one and I really want to get it,” is that left?   Joe: The best is to say, “I want it definitely,” and then they're presented right away. I will put what's sold in the books. I will post “sold” in dollars, and many times, people say, “Well, can you make it again?” and I say, “No, we cannot make it.” A lot of times, it's only one piece of that scale of ruby that I find. So, they are unique. That's why we don't even have enough pieces to supply. With only my private clients, I was still swamped with it. I appreciate that, and I'm really grateful for those clients and the support they have for me through our pieces for 15, 16 years.   Sharon: Wow! I didn't realize it was that long.    Joe: Yes.   Sharon: Thank you so much for being with us today and for telling us. I'm glad things are going so well.   Joe: Thank you, Sharon. Thank you so much for having me. It was great meeting you at the Beverly Hills Art Show. We'll be there again in October, and you will see how completely different it is. Everything you saw at the Beverly Hills Art Show that day is ours. It will be completely new collections that you will see. I'm looking forward to it.   Sharon: So am I. Thank you very much.   Joe: I had so much fun talking to you and your friends. I like people that enjoy life and appreciate art. I appreciate things that are very similar. I think that's what makes it fun, right?   Sharon: That's right. Thank you so much.   Joe: Thank you very much.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

What you'll learn in this episode:   How Joe's family history in the Thai diamond trade influences his business today How Joe generates publicity for his brand without a large PR budget Why Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry focuses on selling one-of-a-kind pieces to select clients How to wear bold, colorful jewelry without getting lost Why fine jewelry doesn't have to be limited to precious metals and gemstones   About Joe Vilaiwan (Polthakorn Viboonviriyawong) Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry is the work of creative artist and designer Joe Polthakorn Viboonviriyawong, a second-generation jeweler. In his native Thailand, Joe grew up in his family's diamond jewelry business and developed an instinct for identifying quality stones and metals. A natural-born artist, Joe began designing jewelry at age 14, when he created avant grade diamond rings that hinted at his future career.   As an independent visual concept designer for major retailers in the United States and Asia, he quickly became known for his bold, eye-catching store window installations. In 2005 in Los Angeles, Joe returned to his roots and launched Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry, which caught the attention of store buyers who recognized his unique blend of art and ornamentation. His meticulously hand-crafted, statement necklaces, cuffs and earrings became top sellers in museum stores and exclusive boutiques as stylish women in international fashion capitals began wearing and collecting his glamorous wearable arts.   A favorite among fashion editors, stylists and celebrities, Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry has been featured in magazines, on runways and in film. Joe recently collaborated with Disney Consumer Products to create the couture jewelry collection for the major motion picture, “Oz the Great and Powerful.”   Additional Resources: Joe's Website Joe's Instagram Joe's Facebook Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com   Transcript:   Although Joe Vilaiwan is known for creating large, over-the-top jewelry, he insists that anyone can wear his work—and almost everyone has, from Joan Rivers to Iris Apfel. As the founder of Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry, he has made it his mission to find the perfect piece for every client who connects with his work. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how he gets inspired; how he sources the unique materials he uses in his jewelry; and how he has gotten A-list press for his brand without a large budget.

Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.    I was walking through the Beverly Hills Art Show this year. I always said I wanted to go, and this year I finally went. I went in the hopes of finding some unusual jewelry, and that's exactly what I found. If you know me, you know I like statement jewelry, and that's exactly what Joe Vilaiwan's jewelry is. He is the founder and creator of Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry.    If you know me, you know exactly what I like. I couldn't decide what to choose: the over-the-top necklace or the more recognizable pearls with diamonds set in. The pearls were larger than anything you would see in real life, so you immediately knew they weren't real and presumed the diamonds weren't real, either. What to choose, the white pearls or the black pearls? They're both fabulous. Clearly, I wasn't the only one who had to have this jewelry, as the booth was swarming with people. Today, Joe will tell us how he started his business and who his clients are. Also, we'll hear how he comes up with his ideas. Joe, welcome to the program.   Joe: Thank you for having me. My name is Joe Vilaiwan. I'm the designer and owner of Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry.   Sharon: Fine jewelry. I didn't even try and tell you what his real name is because I don't think I could spell it, and I don't know if I could say it.    Joe: Joe is my nickname in Thai because everybody in Thailand has a long, complicated last name. So, it's a last name. Everyone has a big name, so my parents also called me Joe. My friends call me Joe as well. Vilaiwan is actually my mother's name, which means beauty in Thai. I use that to honor my mother, who is my inspiration and who taught me about business. My family had a diamond business in Thailand. I grew up with it, and that's how I learned and got inspired and knew about jewelry.   Sharon: That's really nice, that it means a nice thing in Thai and that you wanted to honor your mother.    Joe: Yes.   Sharon: Did you work for somebody else first or did you come here?   Joe: For the jewelry business, I have to say the only person I worked for is my mom and the other was a cat. When I was 12, I started helping my mom in her jewelry business, in her diamond business. I helped her when I was very young. However, I got my bachelor's degree in advertising. Then I came to the U.S. to continue my education and my master's degree, which is in interior design and research communications. I took my shot at being an interior designer and concept designer for many, many years and got really successful in that field.    I wanted to have something on my own before I'm 30, so I decided that jewelry would be the best business for me. However, growing up, I'm learning about myself. I tend to notice that I've been drawn to big pieces or very bold and strong concepts of art and commercial arts. Therefore, I wanted to do more handmade, fine costume jewelry because I cannot use gems in big pieces of mine. That's how my business started. Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry was started in 2002. So, it's over 15, 16 years ago.    Sharon: I saw that you have done a lot of work, and you've gotten a lot of press for your designs. I can see why that would be of interest to you.    Joe: I'm very, very blessed with all of the praise and everything, considering that I don't have, or I've never hired, a PR firm. All the praise I got, it just went directly to me, with the project we did for Disney for the movie “Oz the Great and Powerful,” with all those fine fashion shows, fashion weeks, the praise all over the world, all the museums that carry my creations. I'm very blessed that I met people who actually appreciate my creations and believe in my talents.    Sharon: Would you say you decided to go after this PR, even though you didn't have a PR firm?   Joe: Yes, I did not have a PR firm. I did not hire a PR firm. I come from an advertising background, so I have a definite perspective about this even though I don't have it. That's why I say I'm very fortunate that those people and those players try to find me and contact me directly. That's how I got all that praise and all those awards.    Sharon: Would you say that most of your jewelry or all of your jewelry is statement jewelry? I thought you had a great definition of it.   Joe: People now come to me, and I will not have simple little things or small, little diamonds or small, little pieces. People come to me because they want unique. Either size, big or small, that I create—the smallest one was too big for some people, but they come to me because it's very special. It's one of a kind. It's the sole concept itself. That's what I'm known for.   Sharon: If I had a special dress and I wanted you to design something for it, but I didn't know who you were or I didn't know anything about your jewelry, what would I do?   Joe: Usually people find me. I have to say I'm very blessed again, because the best thing that happened to my business is actually my clients. Mostly the clients recommend other clients. Good people will bring good people to your life. I have this empire of great clients because my clients recommend clients. When I say my clients, they're not just saying it to be nice, but they seriously make appointments for their friends or make sure their friends make appointments to come see me. Sometimes they even set their appointment so they can make sure that me and the friends come together, and that those friends get in to see my creations. All my creations are one of a kind, so they run out very quickly. They sell out very quickly, so they're always waiting for the new pieces that will come out and try to get them before anyone else. Basically, clients recommend clients.    I also have social media. Do I want jewelry on my Instagram? Do I want fine jewelry on Facebook? People also can find me on those. The reason I don't carry in department stores is because, again, it's one of a kind, so they will run out quickly. I cannot go into the retail system. Also, I want my clients to be special, to be the only person who has the piece. When she wears that piece of jewelry to a particular event, she will be the only one. She would definitely be the star. I wanted to keep that spiritually and to be the lady of my life.    Usually, I never have a client who actually brings me a dress and tells me to design something for that dress. Mostly, they get the jewelry and find the dress to work around my jewelry. If they have the dress and they want to wear that dress particularly, they will come and choose the pieces they already created and I already have. I will help them find the right pieces. I have never done anything custom for a particular dress before. I actually find something I already have, that I already created, and is suited.    So far, for the past 16 years, we've been a success. There's actually an interesting story. Some of my clients who always wear big designer brands—you can name it from the top of the world. She was going to an event. One time, she bought this necklace from me. This necklace was very over the top, and she said she saw my fashion show in August. That one was in Palm Springs. It's called El Paseo Fashion Week. I had a silver and black dress, but it's a very sweet kind of dress, and she asked me, “Who's the designer?” She wanted to get one and buy that dress with my necklace.    So, I sent her the recent necklace she bought with that dress in her size. I did not tell her who the designer was, and she wore it. She brought so much attention, so much praise about it. Finally, she asked me, “Who's the designer?” and I told her that the dress was only $19. I actually bought it in downtown L.A. and it could be worn in five ways. That was a shock to her. Basically, if you have my jewelry, you can honor it with other designer dresses, but you don't have to be caught up to wear something expensive or some very well-known brand. You can buy something very basic and simple. The first thing seen is not my jewelry; it's you. My jewelry is just supporting that dress to help you shine your own light at that particular event.    At the same time, you do not need to wear it so dressy for a night event. Mostly all my pieces are practical because they are handmade. You can actually wear them casually with a T-shirt and jeans, and you will look like a rock star as well. That's why my clients love my jewelry; because they can wear it casually or dressy. Also, that's why they love to collect them. Mostly all my clients are collectors, and they are my clients for at least five or six years. I have many of them that have been my clients for over 10 years. When I say over 10 years, it doesn't mean they buy one time and then in the next 10 years another time. No, they've consistently been buying almost every month or every few weeks for the past 12 years or 13 years because they collect them.   Sharon: Do you have a seasonality? Do they come to you because they know it's the fall season and you're going to have new stuff? Is it something different for Christmas?   Joe: Interestingly, my jewelry doesn't have any season. I don't have a season where this piece will do well, then this piece or something like that. I know for sure that my vacation is during the holidays. Before the holidays, yes, it's busy, but during the holidays, everyone is doing our own thing. I also visit my family, and then it will get picked up again after the holidays in January or February.   I don't necessarily think the world now relies on, “Oh, it's spring and summer. You need to wear bright colors, pastel colors. In fall, you need to wear darker colors and something sparkling.” I don't think those kinds of rules are any expectation anymore. Sometime in summer, I have something in white or something that really sparkles, too. People wear whatever they want to wear, whatever can make them feel good about themselves, whatever they are actually comfortable with.    So, my answer is my jewelry is not seasonal. People will choose and always love what I create. They will wear what they want to wear in any time of their lives, in any season they want. They enjoy it because the most important thing is that when you put the right piece of jewelry on the right person, the combination of the energy of the person itself and the energy of the creator, the designer, the craftsmanship and everything, everything will be in harmony. That makes you grow. The aura comes, and it will make you feel good about yourself.    The emphasis is on that because even though it's a big and bold piece of jewelry, I have to finish everything on the real form. It needs to blend in well with the ongoing structure. It's not going to be something that's big and bold and just attached to your body. It needs to blend in and be a part of your body, so you feel like this is a part of you. It will help complement your energy and your own ability, and that is why it sparkles. The smile will be more beautiful, and you'll become your own self and the best version of you. I think that's my job as a designer.   Sharon: So, people bring their dresses to you, and you make the jewelry. That's what you're saying?   Joe: No, what I'm saying is that mostly they will buy my jewelry and find a dress themselves. Or, if they bring one in, they will find what I already have.   Sharon: I see.   Joe: I will help them in that process, to help them find what I already have that will complement the dress they bring. Does that make sense?   Sharon: Yes, now I understand. Do you find that some people say, “Oh, that's too much. I could never wear that. It's too big. It's too over the top”?   Joe: Yes, I've actually experienced that many times. What I've learned from my experience is they will say that the first time, but once it's on them, once they try them on, everything's just fine. Then they will say, “I could not wear anything small anymore. I want something that's big and bold.” They know it's not the size; it's the personality. That's what is actually more important. If you have a personality that's big enough, that's great enough, that's fine enough to carry my jewelry, whatever size that is, that's what you will find.   I have a client that's very petite and only wears big jewelry. Another client used to be one of my collectors as well before she passed away. She was very petite. Most people have necks that are 15 to 16 inches, but everything she bought, I had to customize the neck for her to be 14 ½. She's very small, very petite, and she only wears big, huge pieces of mine. Another collector only wears huge pieces of mine. Sometimes she will put two or three of my necklaces together on top of each other. It's not about the size, but yes, for people who've never known me, who have not seen my art jewelry before, sometimes the reaction is, “Oh my God, that is so big. That is so sparkling.” I always request them to try them on because you will see that sparkle in the eye. You will know that's the right piece on the right person.   Sharon: Do you ever watch the red carpet, the award shows, and see your jewelry on them?   Joe: Yes. In the business, you basically have to pay for PR for those actors and actresses to wear it. I don't have a lot of PR money. Every season they contact me so I can have my pieces worn on those red carpets, but I don't believe in that. My pieces are doing very well. All my lovely clients, if they want my pieces, have to pay for them. I never give my pieces out for free. Every single client of mine pays the same price as my regular clients. All my clients are the same, as I always say, and I treat them the same. If you love it, you need to respect the artist and you have to possess them. I don't believe in paying someone to wear your jewelry on the red carpet. I don't believe in that. Therefore, when I watch it, it's mostly the brands that can afford it: Chopard, Cartier, expensive, real diamonds or pieces they have the budget to put in.    For me, it's a little bit boring. Once in a while, I will see some pieces that are strong and interesting, but mostly it's not. I have a lot of clients who go to red carpets, not as an actress, but they go there as a producer, their lawyer, their agent and other things. They will buy my jewelry, and they bring more attention from all those stars. I don't attach to those kinds of things, that it needs to be famous on a red carpet. For me, all my clients are the same, whether you are a famous actress or you're a housekeeper. Everyone is treated the same.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.
