Next, New York-based designer Laurel DeWitt showed her latest metal couture creations for her “LaureLuxe” brand.

DeWitt has a youthful creativity and craftiness that can only be described as fantastically bold. Her drive is to continuously evolve and push all boundaries. To her, metal knows no limits. She also believes in daring to be different.

DeWitt’s inspiration for her Spring/Summer 2013 Collection was drawn from Egyptian looks and jewelry. With that, she creates a fusion of modern looks with metal accessories and jewelry of the past bringing a sexy and exotic look to the design. Her jewelry is extravagant and intricate which balances out the simplicity of the design.
