The Fabulous Baker Girl
-Elyse Glickman

Is Kimberly Baker classic (Tiffany-inspired), a rocker (think Chrome Hearts) or a mod (imagine Twiggy's jewelry box, circa 1967, or Jackie O's in the mid 70's) as a jewelry designer? All of the above. Or better stated by the Seattle-based Baker, "I take someone like Audrey Hepburn and imagine her at a Misfits show; I also look back to certain fashion icons from the past and imagine what it may be like to custom design something for them."

What drives her is her uncanny ability to fuse popular culture with more traditional styles to create energetic designs that she notes will appeal to everybody from rock promoters, to a graphic designer to a Malibu soccer mom.
