Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL)
While building a career in fashion as a shoe designer at Christian Dior, Kenneth Jay Lane designed flashy, cheap-chic, and playful accessories that quickly gained attention and became popular on New York’s Fifth Avenue. At one long-established fashion department store, the first batch of items sold out in one day. This is the beginning of the KJL legend.
He has designed jewelry for Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn, and former first lady Barbara Bush famously wore a faux pearl necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane. .
Recently, celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Simpson, and Paris Hilton, whose names come up first when you think of fashionistas, are also purveyors. It has become a costume jewelry brand that is sold at museum stores such as the Smithsonian Museum, and current products are also popular in Japan. Vintage items that are no longer in production are a must-see for fans of the KJL brand.
