Jewelry Designer Rolly Robínson Hosts Jungle-Themed Lunch to Celebrate 13th Collection Launch
Rolly Robínson, the creative mind behind the jewelry line Isshī, recently hosted a whimsical lunch in Chinatown, New York City, to celebrate the launch of their 13th collection. The event, held at the showroom of Blue Green Works, was a nod to Robínson’s love of fantasy and the outdoors, harkening back to their childhood spent playing make-believe in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
The venue was transformed into a jungle oasis, complete with banana-leaf mats and a green glass pendant lamp that evoked a palm tree. Guests were treated to a feast of dim sum from a local favorite, Dim Sum Go Go, as they mingled and tried on pieces from the new collection.
Robínson, surrounded by friends and collaborators who have been instrumental in the development of Isshī, toasted to their 13 years in New York City and reflected on the highs and lows of their journey. The atmosphere was lively, with disco music playing in the background and conversations flowing freely.
The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the event, from the carefully curated playlist to the personalized trinkets placed on each plate. Robínson’s outfit, a striped dress paired with a chartreuse hat adorned with a dumpling-shaped pin, perfectly complemented the theme of the lunch.
As the afternoon turned to evening, guests gathered on the fire escape, balancing coffee mugs filled with wine as they continued to enjoy each other’s company. It was a fitting end to a day filled with laughter, good food, and celebration of creativity.
Robínson’s ability to create a truly immersive experience for their guests speaks to their talent as a designer and storyteller. The launch of the 13th collection marks another milestone in their career, and with events like this, it’s clear that the future is bright for Isshī.
