THE LUXURY COSTUME JEWELERY DESIGNER TO CELEBRITIES AND ROYALTY ALIKE IS CELEBRATING 40 STUNNING YEARS OF AMAZING HISTORY AND CREATIONS WITH A LAVISH BOOK, BY SIMON WILSON AND MADELEINE MARSH. A MERE MENTION OF BUTLER & WILSON NEVER FAILS TO CONJURE IMAGES OF DELICIOUS BRIGHTLY COLOURED SPARKLING GEMS AND FANTASTICALLY DESIGNED OVER SIZED RHINESTONES. ADORED BY THE LIKES OF PRINCESS DIANA, KATE MOSS AND SHARON STONE, IT HAS BEEN 40 YEARS SINCE SIMON WILSON DESIGNED HIS FIRST COLLECTION OF COSTUME JEWELRY FROM A MARKET STALL ON THE KING'S ROAD. WILSON PROGRESSED TO A STAND-ALONE BOUTIQUE IN 1972 ON THE FULHAM ROAD IN LONDON, WHICH, ALONGSIDE A SISTER BRANCH IN THE SMART SHOPPING AREA OF SOUTH MOLTON STREET, CONTINUED TO GROW FROM STUNNING CREATION TO STUNNING CREATION. A DECADE LATER, THE FULMAN ROAD SHOP BECAME FAMOUS FOR ITS TRAFFIC STOPPING BILLBOARDS, WHICH FEATURED THE MOST DISTINGUISHED ACTRESSES AND MODELS OF THE TIME, SUCH AS JERRY HALL, FAYE DUNAWAY, CATHERINE DENUEVE, AND BIANCA JAGGER TO NAME BUT A FEW, EMBLAZONED OUTSIDE THE STORE WEARING WILSON'S DECADENT DESIGNS. THE TOP NAMES WERE HAPPY TO POSE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA FOR LEADING PHOTOGRAPHERS SUCH AS DAVID BAILEY, TERENCE DONOVAN AND JOHN SWANNELL, SIMPLY IN EXCHANGE FOR A FEW PIECES OF COVETABLE BUTLER & WILSON JEWELRY. BUTLER & WILSON ARE RELIABLY THE FIRST PORT OF CALL WHEN A GLAMOROUS BIT OF AFFORDABLE SPARKLE IS REQUIRED,. THE COMPANY HAS PROVIDED JEWELS FOR MANY TV SHOWS INCLUDING STRICTLY COME DANCING, BRITAIN'S NEXT MODEL, AND THE X-FACTOR, AND CELEBRITIES SUCH AS GIRLS ALOUD, MADONNA AND KYLIE MINOGUE. A CURRENT BEST-SELLER IN THE SWAROVSKI ENCRUSTED EVENING BAG. MOST RECENTLY, VINTAGE CLOTHING HAS BEEN ADDED IN ADDITION TO THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF A MEN'S COLLECTION BLENDING SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES.
THE 40th ANNIVERSARY BOOK FEATURES OVER 200 FULL PAGE IMAGES OF THE MOST ICONIC PIECES AND PHOTO SHOOTS. PRICED AT Priced at £48, WITH £10 FROM EACH SALE BEING DONATED DIRECTLY TO BREAST CANCER CARE. FOR THOSE PARTIAL TO A SLICE OF BUTLER & WILSON STYLE FOR THEIR COFFEE TABLE, A MAGNIFICENT EDITION VERSION HAS BEEN PRODUCED, CONSISTING OF HUNDREDS OF TIGHTLY PACKED, MULTI-COLOURED STONES AND JEWELS ADORNING THE COVER, FOR AN EYE-WATERING SUM OF £500.
