Designer Spotlight: AGU Couture

Spring, known for its bright, sunny weather, bloom of flowers, and pastel color wheel, is the best time of the year to revive your style. The trends have been amazing; Gucci RTW 2012 collection inspired bright color blocking. Nina Ricci’s spring/summer collection was full of bustier crop tops and flowing mullet skirts. Marc Jacobs was one of the first brands to introduce dyed denim
and pastel skinny trousers. This season is all about breaking out your brightest, most colorful styles while accessorizing with bohemian inspired jewelry. Grab a few pieces of AGU Couture, created by Emeka & Theodore Chukwu, for spotlight stealing ice.

AGU Couture’s brand of jewelry is made up of a variety of crystal pieces; statement making earrings, exclusive harnesses, delicate
rosaries and gorgeous bracelets. Each piece is created with specific colors, gold or silver detail, and a lot of glimmer.

The bracelets can be pieced separately, or in a set for complete soft-blocking and shine. The crystal necklaces are available in onyx or leopard faceted designs, ready to take any ensemble from simple to sexy. Emeka’s harnesses are beyond amazing. The shoulder jewelry is such a unique piece, designed with asymmetrical chains and charcoal fringe.

Product Review

When I received my burnt orange AGU Couture bracelet, I paired it with a black v-neck and simple lace skirt. While I chose a basic outfit, the bracelet kept my look classic with a pop of color. The beads are modern while the hand of fatima charm keeps the piece edgy and respectable. With quality and chic style, AGU Couture is a shop you need to browse this spring season!
