INSPIRATIONS

Favorite discovery Harlem. -V Who inspires you I'm inspired by / subcultures. Whether it's rodeo queens, Shriners, rockabilly kids, or Native ( Americans, I love anyone who takes their look seriously, especially if that look has nothing to do with what's in fashion and everything to do with self-expression. Necessary extravagances Tom Ford eyeliner and a real girdle. Not any of that Spanx shit. The real kind with straps and panels. Favorite place in the world Wyoming or my backyard. Favorite charity Y.E.S. Fashion idols Louise Nevelson, Tina Chow, Millicent Rogers, and Sheila Metzner. Go-to Web sites nytimes.com, - dailymail.co.uk.

Fashion maven, photographer, style icon, muse, I and craftswoman Lisa Eisner launches her eponymous m jewelry line—a collection of handmade bronze pieces encrusted with details ranging from stones such as turquoise and black jade to ocean ephemera, including pyritized ammonite and malachite. The line, which debuts at Colette in Paris, was inspired by Big Sur, California, and by the laid-back ~ 1970s hippie lifestyle that Eisner embodies.
