Head of the Klass

Here it is. Winding down. Summertime.

Wait. Where’d it go? You’re almost out of days when walking around half nekkid in public is perfectly justifiable. (Well, except Halloween. And New Year’s Eve, of course. Your birthday. Mardi Gras, bachelorette parties, Saturday nights.)

Let’s just pretend you need a reason to show some skin there, Modest Mouse. And here it is: Marisa Klass, a Toronto designer who’s ditching dainty accessories for big jewelry proclamations. (Those Canadians may be onto something.)

Her outstanding Global collection will steal the attention from your almost bare body. One-of-a-kind necklaces mix neat stuff from all over: African glass beads, wooden animal carvings, shells, pearls, ribbons, suede, and fringe. With everything from tassels to plastic charms to sailing knots, each unique piece is sure to please eager eyes.

But that’s nothing new for you.


Available at Kirna Zabete, 96 Greene Street, between Prince and Spring Streets (212-941-9656). To see styles, go to marisaklass.com.
