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. Jewelry can be so delicate, and while there are definitely some showstopper pieces in the collection, I really wanted to create a canvas for the jewelry to live on and speak from.”
Presley, the eldest, was a fashion icon, known for his bold and daring designs. His younger sister, Presley, was a rising star in the fashion world, known for her elegant and sophisticated designs. The Oldham family’s influence on the fashion industry was undeniable.
Oldham’s work often incorporated natural elements like feathers, flowers, and leaves. He used these elements to create a sense of movement and texture, adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to his pieces. Oldham’s jewelry was not just about aesthetics; it was also about storytelling. He believed that each piece held a story, a memory, or a feeling.
This community is not limited to the fashion world. Oldham’s work has also fostered a sense of belonging among his friends and family. He has invited them to participate in his creative process, from brainstorming sessions to the final product.
