Does Heidi Klum's Decision to Discontinue Clover QVC Jewelry Line Admit Guilt?

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Heidi Klum doesn't seem like the type to back down from a fight, so it was news to us when we heard the Project Runway host discontinued her QVC jewelry line after being hit with a lawsuit from Van Cleef & Arpels accusing her of copying their trademark clover design. "They wanted to have the clover, even though our designs never matched . . . they just wanted to own the clover motif," said Klum. "So they went after everyone who does that - Louis Vuitton! -- they said 'We own the clover . . ." Interesting. Take a look at Klum's jewels and tell me, does discontinuing her jewelry line admit guilt?

Heidi's Pretty Jewelry

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 13:56:48 -0700

Heidi Klum is looking as beautiful as ever on The Early Show this week and don't you love her earrings?

Her earrings are from her jewelry line, The Heidi Klum Collection, made by Mouawad. According to the Mouawad website:

The collection was inspired by one of Heidi's visits to Italy during which she was intrigued by a clover-patterned marble inlay at the Duomo in Milan. Heidi envisioned the clover as an adornment piece and expressed her desire to incorporate the symbol into the design of a jewelry line. "I think it's beautiful as a woman to have a good luck charm that you can keep with you...that someone can give to you. It's sweet and meaningful," says Heidi. The collection is for the fashion-conscious woman whose taste in jewelry is timeless and elegant, much like Heidi's own style and beauty.

Unfortunately I was not able to find any of her pieces available for sale online, but you can call Mouawad directly at: 212-981-0203 to find out which of their retailers carry it.

The Look For Less: Heidi Klum Collection Clover Necklace

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 09:30:22 -0700

In case all the clover jewelry Heidi Klum has been wearing lately didn't give it away, the supermodel has a year-old bling collection called Heidi Klum Collection. The clover necklace she wore to the jewelry presentation in Berlin in September is beautiful and sort of resembles the most expensive clovers of all: Van Cleef & Arpels designs. It would be nice to mimic Heidi, only we don't have her salary.

Banana Republic isn't normally known for knock-offs, but this Banana Republic Open Pendant Necklace ($28) is an exception. It's inexpensive and just as pretty as Heidi's necklace. To get her exact look, substitute the gold chain for a black rope. Voila...the Heidi look minus the high cost.

The Golden Globes Red Carpet: Heidi's Diamond Locket

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 08:28:03 -0800

Check out the set of diamonds on Heidi! Heidi Klum looks like a glowing Grecian Goddess, just six weeks after the birth of her third baby, Johan. She arrived at the Golden Globes wearing a gorgeous Givenchy gown, Givenchy gloves and Christian Louboutin shoes.

Even decked out in all of these high end designers, her own necklace design was the real show stopper. Her stunning 950 diamond and platinum choker featured a heart-shaped detachable locket made from 5.74 carats of diamonds. The choker also contained 208 carats of diamonds and totalled an astonishing combined carat weight of 213.74.

This necklace is part of the Heidi Klum Collection for Mouawad specifically designed for the 2007 Golden Globe Awards Show and is said to cost a whopping one million dollars. Looks like Heidi could be the next jeweler to the stars. Look out Lorraine Schwartz!

Trend Alert: Snake Chain Gang

FabSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Join Heidi and the snake chain gang. We've seen actual snakes on jewelry for a while now, but let's regress. The flat and slithery chain is possibly the sexiest chain out there. It's ideal for knot and layered designs because of its flat texture. The Martin Grant necklace Heidi wore to a McDonald's promotional event in Munich was pretty heavy duty, but that's how she rolls. Fit for Medusa, be my guest, mess with the snake chain gang.

Martin Grant Long Snake Chain - $795.00	Snake Chain Circle Earrings - $4.80
Multi Snake Chain Necklace - $6.80	Long Interlock Snake Chain Necklace - $18.00
Alexis Bittar Braided Black Cord, Rhodium and Gold Snake Chain Necklace - $347.00	Nested Chain Necklace - $24.50
Snake Chain Hoop Earrings - $3.80	Nicole Romano Necklace - $315.00
Hollow Snake Chain Necklace - $8.80

A Few Fab Words With Heidi Klum(!)

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:57:41 -0700

Heidi Klum. Where to begin? From the beginning, I suppose. German born Klum is no longer just a model. She is a model, actress, TV presenter, fashion designer, television producer, singer, wife and mother. No wonder Klum continues to inspire so many. She started as a model and Victoria's Secret model - that body, that face - and worked her way into our hearts hosting Project Runway and embarked on fashion projects along the way, i.e., her jewelry line and collaborating with Jordache.

Now married to Seal and the mother of three, Heidi always has a smile on her face. That is what inspires me. She is hardworking, doesn't take things for granted and seems to be a very happy person. And so, we are so excited we got an exclusive interview with the multi-tasking model! Be sure to also read her beauty interview with Bella.

Can you describe your personal style and how it has evolved over the years?

I have always had a very unique sense of style. I love bright colors and bold prints that make a statement. When I was young I was all about be-dazzling! I would be-dazzle everything from jean jackets to bags. That love for glitz and glam has stayed with me over the years but has matured. In my everyday life comfort is very important. I love throwing on a classic pair of jeans with a cozy tank and flip flops, especially when running around with the kids.

Tell us about the creative process for creating your jewelry line.

I don’t have a formal technique for designing jewelry, I just let myself become inspired by everything around me - vintage designs, trips, etc. The jewelry also reflects my personal style and the pieces I love to wear.

You have a lot of fashion projects at the moment: jewelry, sunglasses, fragrance and Birkenstocks. Is there one that particularly satisfies you the most? If so, why?

I have always been a very creative person and love having a channel to express my ideas whether it is designing products for a label or just painting with my children. I don’t have a favorite project but my jewelry line is definitely the most extensive. I have a very high end collection that I design with Mouawad, a silver collection for QVC, and a Top Model and Project Runway collection based on pieces I have worn in the shows. I also just started selling on Skymall (a guilty traveling pleasure of mine).

Is there a Heidi Klum clothing line in the future?

I just created a 15-piece capsule collection for Jordache. It was inspired by some of my favorite pieces from my closet. I wanted all the designs to be comfortable mixed with a bit of sexiness.

What new and exciting things can we expect on the next season of Project Runway?

Project Runway is always a surprise. You never know what is going to happen next and that is what keeps the show fresh and interesting. Last year was a great season so we are definitely continuing to push the envelope with design challenges. You’ll just have to wait and tune in!

Compare & Contrast: Heidi Klum, Oscar's Lady in Red

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Last night, as I was covering the 2009 Oscars red carpet, I got déjà vu. Out walked Heidi Klum in her red Roland Mouret number - and blam - flashback to her Oscars look last year. Of course, the silhouette of the dress was entirely different, but it exuded the same futuristic aura and was the same fiery red color. And, her jewels were pink again! Let's dissect Heidi's 2008 and 2009 Oscars looks shall we?

Dress: John Galliano made sure Heidi stood out on the '08 Oscars red carpet in this red, larger-than-life Dior gown. There is nothing shy about it - it's as red as red gets, has a huge collar, long side trains, and futuristic vibe. Oh, and Heidi chose red to benefit women's heart health.

Jewelry: It's apparent the Super loves the combination of red and pink. In 2008, her pink jewels from her own line complemented her red gown to a tee. She donned dramatic red and pink drop earrings, matching bracelets, and a red and pink ring.

Dress: Heidi went down the same red path this year by wearing a red dress in honor of her Diet Coke Heart Healthy campaign. Roland Mouret created this frock, which is not as voluminous, but just as in-your-face and futuristic. It also has a heavy sheen. Once again, the collar is the focus, but the skirt is equally attention-grabbing.

Jewelry: Red and pink it is again. Heidi chose to further sass up her red dress with light pink accessories. Like last year, the earrings were the focus, but stacked bangles and rings were also lavishly loud.
