Designer: Karli Buxton
Aesthetic: Shay Mitchell and Vanessa Hudgens are fans of the bold, one-of-a-kind statement necklaces with raw stones that can take a plain white T-shirt to the next level. Buxton, a Georgia native, worked for evening and bridal gown designer Don O’Neill of Theia for several years before returning to her home state to start her own business in 2012. “I always wanted to focus on the wholesale side of the industry. It was very neat at the time to think I could have my designs sold in retail stores across the country and I focused on that from Day One. After I made a presence in the social media world, I was contacted by other retail stores and have grown to more than 300 stores nationwide in a little over five years,” said Buxton. A few months ago, she launched a line called Buxton Black incorporating pavé diamonds and oxidized metals with interchangeable pendants.
Key Items: The line incorporates semiprecious stones, bone, leather and gold-filled metals. One of the bestsellers is the Raeko cuff, designed three years ago for Florida Georgia Line’s Brian and Brittany Kelley’s clothing line, Tribe Kelley. Also popular is the Attachment collection, about
