After a day of back-to-back appointments, the jewelry designers who participated in the second CFDA Jewelry Showcase deserved to kick back, relax and toast on the day with a glass (or more) of champagne. The cocktail hour allowed everyone to recap the day. “The best part for me was seeing everyone else and what they are doing,” said Angela Cummings, who showed her collection for Assael. “Where else can we be together and see and and share what we all do?” Such sentiment was echoed by Nicholas Varney. “Everybody is in such a good mood,” he said. “I like seeing my friends. Simon [Alcantara] is an old friend. I have admired Angela Cummings for years.”Stella Valle’s Paige Dellavalle added she and sister and design partner Ashley Jung met with many editors they didn’t know before – as well as familiar faces for the two newly-inducted CFDA Members. “Some had written out recommendation letters,” Dellavalle said. “We had a lot of proud Moms.” Ex Ovo’s Katrin Zimmerman summed the day up perfectly: “The nicest thing was the community we felt.” Or, as Varney put it, “It’s such a creative environment. It’s like a jam session of jewelry artists.
