Love is in the air!  With the upcoming marriage of the royal heir, Prince William to Kate Middleton, fashion trends in engagement rings are sure to be in the spotlight for the coming months.

While the traditional diamond solitaire will always be a firm favorite, and heavy heirlooms like Kate Middleton’s ring passed on from the collection of Princess Diana, are not to everyone’s taste and budget,  there are definite styles and trends that are fashionable and within most people’s budget.

Chandler on the popular TV sitcom “friends” proposed with a beautiful Tacori ring.  Tacori, a family owned company based in California manufactures exquisite bridal sets blending vintage style charm with modern contemporary American design.   The flawless diamonds together with  a selection of yellow and rose gold or the fashionable white gold (platinum) make for the most beautiful intricately designed  engagement rings.

The trends today revolve around the stone, the metal and the design.  Stones are traditionally diamonds, but often have a other colors added as in the case of Princess Diana’s famous sapphire ring.  In days gone by, almost all rings were made with yellow gold, but now we have a choice of yellow and rose as well with the preference being white gold.   Gone are the days of a boring plain yellow band.  The band is now as intricate and as beautiful as the stone itself.

With the stone, the setting and the metal decided,  only the style is left to decide upon.  The classic style is a single stone in a single setting but today the trend is to have multiple diamonds  in the setting often with a vintage flair.  There is a classic halo design with the band being solid and the Angel halo with the band being split on either side of the stone. The variants are as wide and diverse as the designers who make them and there is a ring out there for every budget.

Baby Phat is an iconic urban fashion line designed for women and girls. This brand began as a spin-off from the Phat Farm brand of clothing created by Russell Simmons in 1992. When Kimora Lee Perkins and Russell Simmons married, Kimora assumed the role of Creative Director for the clothing line.

Kimora had a very strong sense of where she wanted to take the Baby Phat clothing line, and after Simmons sold Phat Farm in 2004, and then subsequently stepped down as CEO from the Baby Phat brand in 2007, Kimora became CEO of the Baby Phat brand. She began driving the brand toward her vision of becoming an “aspirational lifestyle brand,” and combined with her vision of fabulosity, the brand quickly gained in popularity.

In addition to clothing, the Baby Phat line also includes phone accessories, shoes, fragrances, cosmetics, bedding and jewelry. A separate division of Baby Phat is called Baby Phat Scrubs, and this line of clothing includes medical uniforms such as lab coats and scrubs in various kid-friendly prints.

A stylized sleek cat is the company’s logo and it can be found on nearly all their items. Baby Phat products can be found in high-end retailers such as Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s.

Kimora took what was simply a cute clothing line and turned it into a lifestyle brand that remains popular with today’s youth. She was responsible for the Baby Phat’s first fashion show which was held at New York fashion week in 2001, and the company saw many successes under her leadership.

In August of 2010, Kimora Lee Simmons announced her sudden and sad departure from the clothing line and commented that the split was less than amicable. Despite her unexpected departure, the brand continues to do well and remains popular.
