From carved Lucite cuffs to over-the-top costume baubles, every little thing he does is magic. For his next trick? The debut of fine jewelry in 2012.
"I grew up without a TV. My parents are professors and deeply intellectual. When I travel now, I feel like a kid whose parents aren't around. Then I see what's on. The show that kills me is Bridalplasty. It's the sickest thing ever! I felt I needed to make a statement."

"When I'm working with Jason Wu [with whom Bittar collaborated for spring and fall 2011], he'll show me pictures of his references. For fall, they were old churches and Roman Italian architecture. I tried to get into his head as much as possible to make the jewelry [above and left] work with the ready-to-wear."
Cuffs $345 each, Alexis Bittar; alexisbittar.com.
Lauren Hutton's lack of plastic surgery led her to become the latest face of Alexis Bittar. "I respect women who don't fall for the pressures of society," Bittar says.

I've been a fan of Alexis Bittar's work from the start. A fine jewelry collection is a natural progression for this immense talent.

We all remember the stunning gown First Lady Michelle Obama wore during the inaugural ball. Now, famous designer Jason Wu is wooing the fashion world with his new line of Cissy dolls styled for Madame Alexander. His favorite doll headlining the collection is a glowing chocolate African-American brown eyed stylish figure.
The beautiful high fashion mannequin is sporting an off-white corset trimmed with white soutache that is combined with a skirt, three layers of gathered white netting and a fabulous flocked polka dot detail. The bella is named Bon Bon. The cute model is finished by rocking silver rhinestone earrings, dark brown tights, hot pink over-the-top vinyl lace-up platform shoes and an ultra chic hand-shaped, black and white houndstooth hat that is perched fetchingly upon her head.
Oh, and she is wearing some super fierce purple eyeshadow. Pretty little Bon Bon is a Web exclusive so the doll is available only on MadameAlexander.com. Kudos to Jason Wu for hitting the mark!
