About KM2 Shoes:
KM2 Shoes, founded by sisters Megan, Katelyn and Mattison Gelber, was born from a desire to be unique. The three sisters developed a collection of shoes whose distinctive, high-class style is rooted in nostalgia, yet has an edgy flair that is relaxed and comfortable. The style of the shoes is influenced by their mid-western roots and life experiences in New York and L.A.

The fashion background of each of the sisters, when combined with their unique outlook on life and design, created a line of shoes that are classy, artistic, and entirely customized for each customer. KM2 shoe and boot line has basic styles that clients will pick, which are then customized by adding vintage ornamentation, as per clients’ wishes. The vintage ornamentation can include chains, feathers, beading, studs, fabric roses, vintage earrings – practically anything…

All three sisters have spent many years in the fashion industry, each bringing a very different gift and skill to KM2. They received training from their father, an extremely successful women’s fashion designer, and direction from their mother, who taught them to keep things timeless and feminine. They have also gained support, knowledge and consultation from fourth generation shoe cobbler, Gregg Boyher, known for his expertise in shoe design and custom shoe applications.

About Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry:
Vilaiwan Fine Jewelry, named after the designer's mother, is created by Polthakorn Viboonviriyawong (Jo-Jo). Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, Jo-Jo watched his mother, Vilaiwan, start and build a successful diamond business. His earliest creative memories are of his mother asking him to use his burgeoning design skills to help design new settings for her jewelry. When design became his passion, Vilaiwan sent him to the U.S. to study, and to turn his passion into a career.

Jo-Jo has a Masters Degree in design from UCLA, and received his professional design degree at FIDM, where he graduated first in his class. While at FIDM, Jo-Jo's creative vision took shape into the form of a jewelry line whose statement-making pieces are works of art. Inspired by many vintage styles, Vilaiwan pieces make flowers the centerpiece of their design and the Vilaiwan signature, which was born of the designer's tropical background and love of flowers. This latest collection, which will be on display at EM & Co, carries the designer's signature style over to pieces as minimal as singular strand necklaces, and as intricate as bib-like, bejeweled collars.

Jo-Jo makes every piece of Vilaiwan jewelry by hand, and uses his extensive relationships in the jewelry business abroad to secure only the finest materials - metals, semiprecious stones, crystals, shells and pearls. Each Vilaiwan piece is an original, no two pieces are ever alike. When you own a Vilaiwan piece, you own an original.
