Sleigh Bells & Whistles

Alexis Krauss from the noise-pop sensation Sleigh Bells has rung the alarm for up and coming fashion label Jezebel&Toff.

Alexis visited the label’s avant-garde SoHo store last week to pick up her acid wash denim jacket, which received a very special Jezebel&Toff transformation from designer Vincent Miller. The result is a distinctive one-of-a-kind customization designed especially for the burgeoning artist. All Jezebel&Toff designs are hand appliquéd involving 3-5 days labor and the jacket now features all the bells and whistles including a Golden Tutt, wearing Krauss’ signature wayfarers and her nickname A+ sewn into the back.

Sprouting from a performance background himself, it is no wonder designer Vincent Miller has caught the attention of the creative world. Having an enviable career dancing for artists such as The Spice Girls, Robbie Williams and Run DMC, performing in concerts, video clips and award shows such as MTV, Smash Hits and the BRIT awards as well as a 2 year stint in 'Oh What a Night' on the West End, Vincent brings his knowledge of theatre, performance and style to each design. His current range Citizen's of the Apocalypse (available at their SoHo concept store) features huge mix media images on discontinued repurposed army surplus jackets. Inspired by Japanese, Egyptian and European history and culture, every Jezebel&Toff piece is unique, loud and certainly not for the fainthearted. www.jezebelandtoff.com - Romy Erdos

Each piece is made with the purpose and intent to bring love, protection and empowerment to those who wear it and was presented to performers at the official 53rd GRAMMY Awards.

Each piece in the Love From Venus collection is adorned with a treasure trove of meaningful charms, many of which are blessed from the Holy Land giving them increased protective powers. Also incorporated in the collection is the Red String used in Kabbalah teachings and the lucky eye motif which dates back centuries for its ability to ward off negative energy. When worn on the left hand – the receiving hand of all energies, these talismans repel negativity and when combined with decorative hearts, saints, ancient amulets & tassels they exude power, peace and harmony.

Her latest seasonal collection Chakra is a harmony of breathtaking colors and raw energy to assist in overall health and balance of mind, body and spirit.
