The Final Countdown
(NEW YORK) Mark Badgley and James Mischka may have presented their High Society bridal show Sunday afternoon, but the two hard-working designers aren't getting ready to take a break anytime soon. "We're actually getting ready to launch a home collection," the duo revealed to The Daily backstage after the show. "And we're also really excited about our new watch collection which we're creating."
The timepieces, designed under a global licensing agreement with the E. Gluck Corporation, will debut at a party on November 6 at Lotus, with a retail launch set for Spring 2008. According to Badgley, "These watches will be at around the same price points as our jewelry line, ranging between $350 and $1,200, with most averaging in the $600s." And what can one expect from the designers known for their couture embellishments and detailing? Bright leather cuffs, art-deco shapes, bauble adornments, and some attitude. "These watches aren't your typical serious day or evening watches," Badgley continued. "They're jeweled, they're glam, and they're whimsical." The time for their arrival can't come soon enough.
