Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize Winner Anndra Neen Launches Exclusive Jewellery Line

The Beverly Hills Hotel

The 2011 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize winner partners with the iconic LA property to create an exclusive line with a one-of-a kind bracelet, available for sale at the eve of the holiday season

 

Anndra Neen, recipient of the 2011 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize, is introducing a new jewellery line available exclusively at The Beverly Hills Hotel early next month through the end of December. The first piece to retail in time for the holiday season is a distinctive bracelet inspired by the hotel's iconic design elements, sold exclusively at the hotel's Logo Shop.  Additional pieces to debut include a necklace, choker and clutch, available for sale the first week of November. The partnership marks the first Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize winner to collaborate with a hotel in the collection with an exclusive line.

 

Phoebe and Annette Stephens, the sister designer team behind the jewellery and accessories brand Anndra Neen, accepted the Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize after a runway presentation at The Beverly Hills Hotel in October 2011. Born and raised in Mexico City, the sisters' design is an expression of their shared vision, evoking their personal histories and aesthetic points of views. Pieces from Anndra Neen have accessorized Michelle Obama, Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore, Nicole Richie and Anna Paquin, among others.

 

The design duo drew on elements that have fashioned the glamorous Beverly Hills Hotel for years, from distinctive shades of pink and green to the signature banana leaves found on the wallpaper and landscaped gardens across the property. The bracelet is created by hand and features Agate stones and alpaca and brass materials, making it a unique holiday gift this season. The exclusive Anndra Neen bracelet will retail for $485 (approx. £300), available exclusively at The Beverly Hills Logo Shop.

 

Established in 2010, the annual Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize was created to discover emerging fashion talent and build on Dorchester Collection's own established fashion heritage. It is the first award of its kind developed by a luxury hotel company. The winner of the 2013

Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize will be held at The Dorchester in London on October 29, 2013.
