CGL @ Fashion Week: Fashion wasn’t just happening under the tents during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

On the other side of town, The Real Housewives of New Jersey’sTeresa Giudice sat in the front row of several shows for NOLCHA Fashion Week.

Teresa wasn’t alone. She and her daughter were among several young girls from the “For a Day Foundation.” The nonprofit organization had created a dream day of fashion for the girls who are battling cancer, ending with seats in NOLCHA’s front row, right next to the reality star.

After mingling with the girl on the red carpet, Teresa then stopped by the Adha Zelma jewelry booth and slipped into the accessory line’s new Sand Storm necklace, available in Adha’s Spring “5″ Collection.

STYLE WATCH: Accessories From Adha Zelma at Nolcha Fashion Week

Nolcha Fashion Week is an award winning fashion week event held simultaneously with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week consisting of four days of runway shows, an eco-accessory exhibition, fashion business seminars, and networking events. The invite-only four day event connects media, retailers, trendsetters, fashion professionals, executives, industry celebrities and investors with designers. We were invited to attend to view accessories by Adha Zelma.

According to their blog, “Adha Zelma is the creative collaboration of long time friends Sheanan Bond and Cherise Trahan Miller who share the fetish for bold statements as self-expression. Adha Zelma’s jewelry line is for the individual who loves adornment. Inspired by world culture, the designs are daring, sexy and are dripping with color. Adha Zelma experiments with traditional adornment concepts and reinterprets through a modern eye. Each piece is handcrafted and, therefore, each is one of a kind.” (To read an interview with the ladies, click here.)

ADHA ZELMA JEWELRY NEW COLLECTION TO BE SHOWN AT NOLCHA FOR SPRING 2011 NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

New York, NY – (September 8, 2010) – Designers Sheanan Bond and Cherise TrahanMiller will present their latest collection at the Nolcha Accessory Presentation during New York Fashion Week from 12-6 p.m. on Tuesday, September 14, 2010. The presentation will be held in the Thomson Reuters Building | 195 Broadway, between Fulton street and Dey Street, New York City.

“5”, Adha Zelma’s newest collection, is the magical spell of sand dunes, the blue waters of the Sinai Peninsula and Sculpture work by Andy Golds Worthy. The pieces are reflective of a modern nomad qnd bold statement pieces encircle you. The collection is a desert song of chunky nuggets, facets, ivories, water geodes and shimmering draping droplets.

The past Adha Zelma collections have garnered a lot of attention and in their first appearance at Nolcha Fashion Week “5” is sure to do the same. The Brooklyn-based design team has a breadth of inspiration from which they draw: ancient cultures, music and dance, art, design, folklore and the materials they unearth. Their creative process for “5” was centered on the energy of each stone leading the art form. Nature provided their poetic and rhythmic discovery. Sheanan’s artistry as a sculptor shapes and forms the collection while Cherise’s balance of storytelling and graphic design creates an enchanting brew, seducing you like a new romance.

The Adha Zelma atheistic is bold and organic. The designers are moved to create pieces that celebrate the female form and shape new rules for those who are fashion-forward.
