Through
the Seventies and on into the Eighties, Wendy Gell's designs
were on the cover of Vogue and
in thousands of editorials in magazines all over the world. Wendy
created sequinned Disney characters, jeweled Roger
Rabbits and
his friends, Wizard of Oz jewelry,
and masks from The
Phantom of the Opera. She designed special pieces
for Bill
Blass, Oscar de laRenta, and Louis Dell'Olio. Her
company specialized in a "different" look that is
very whimsical and unique. Many of the fabulous large cuff
bracelets were one-of-a-kind or part of a limited edition.
Her worldwide client list includes
celebrities such as Cindy Crawford, Claudia
Schiffer, Isabella Rossilini, and Cher. Wendy Gell jewelry
can also be found in the private collections of: Elizabeth
Taylor, Elton John (designed sunglasses for him), Hillary
Clinton, the late Andy Warhol and
Princess Diana.
Now Wendy is back designing not
only jewelry but paintings and various gifts as well. She creatively
adorns mirrors, dolls, goblets and more with the same pop art
style she is known for.
In addition, Wendy hopes to share
a bit about herself with you through the pages of this site.
Her experiences are a joy to read as she unravels, through writings
and pictures, the incredible story of an artist made famous by
her imagination, skill, and playful character. |
