Accessories have become more than just an accent piece to our clothing. Over the years, companies such as Falling Whistles, Dana Walden Jewelry and The Giving Keys defined a revolution to the “statement piece.” In conjunction with charities and organizations, these accessories brands have made an impact to change the world and spread the awareness of empowerment to third-world countries.

Learn more about each company and how you can be a part of the change. Follow them on Twitter: @FallingWhistles @DanaWaldenWorld @thegivingkeys

Michigan based artist Jessica Kerbawy has an endless imagination when it comes to Crayons!

When creating her pieces, Jessica uses nothing more than her canvas, some crayons out of a crayon box, and heat. Jessica uses a unique process to melt the Crayons on her canvas and lets the art come alive for itself.

Her simple, yet eye-catching textural crayon rainbows will brighten up any room and can easily be done right at home! If you’re looking for an inspirational new piece, check out some of Jessica’s other art pieces at JK Create and follow her on Twitter @JessiKerb.

With Los Angeles a buzz as Grammy weekend approaches quickly, we wanted to reflect on a few of our favorite musicians from the past.

Over the years, our platform has nourished the talents of a variety of musicians. Here is a taste of our favorite performances. From the soul singing, now Grammy Award winning artist, Bruno Mars, to the electrifying sounds of YACHT, each lent a hand to uplift the ambiance of our LA Fashion Week shows.

We are proud to have worked with such artistic musicians and to see their continued success. Stay tuned to Project Ethos as we continue to highlight emerging artists.
