The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Presley Oldham debuted at New York Fashion Week this season.
It’s pretty unusual for a jewelry designer to land a spot on the New York Fashion Week calendar, and so when Presley Oldham, a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist this year, came upon a slot, he decided to go the extra mile and make some clothes to add to his collection. “It was… an insane idea,” said Oldham backstage after his salon-style show at The Standard’s Boom, “but it was important for me to create the whole world of my brand.
He worked with Murano glass makers and tapped the artist Frank Traynor to create pearl and shell solder work for spectacular towering headpieces, and worked with artisans in India—the same ones his uncle, the ’90s wunderkind Todd Oldham, would work with during his own fashion career. Oldham also broadened his range to introduce a fine jewelry line using Swarovski crystals, sapphires, and classic pieces made in solid gold.
