Pike Goes to the Glitter
From Hexagon Accessories.
Laurie Pike’s words and idiosyncratic style have inspired Los Angelenos for years. She wrote about fashion for Los Angeles magazine, website LA.com and her own journal The Paris Blog. Occasionally, she became the story. New York Times and other periodicals ran features a few years back on her unique eye for style and for cobbling together a swank, but low budget lifestyle in Los Angeles and Paris. We were jealous.
And when she parted ways with her full-time gig as style editor for Los Angeles last year, she didn’t go to the ’dark side,’ or journalists’ fun, yet snide, characterization of the all too common fate of getting a job in public relations.You might as well say she got a job on the glitter side. She recently debuted her handbags and jewelry line Hexagon Accessories. Its jewelry and handbags repurposed in a way only Pike could design. Hexagon is sold on Etsy and some groovy shops in the L.A. area like the Nathalie Seaver Boutique.
With the Hexagon design gig, looks like you’re a lifer in the fashion world Laurie Pike. Glad we still see you on Paris Blog and a few other sites. And for those of you who haven’t crossed paths with Pike, check out a pic of her at the Vivienne Westwood boutique debut last year. Dig that icepack hat!
