IT'S A FASHION CINCH
Now in The OC you can pick up the same cool over-sized belt buckles that you’ve seen celebrities such as Madonna, Nicholas Cage, Jillian Barberie and members of Korn and Velvet Revolver wearing in magazines.
Robbie French Designs by California native Robbie French (pictured above) are available at several fashionable boutiques in Newport Beach.
French, a former manager at some of the hottest bars in LA and New York City including Skybar, Casa del Mar, the Standard, and the Paramount, switched careers to become a designer of hip belt buckles featuring crosses, dragons, scorpions, flowers, stones and more.
Some belts are embellished with Swarovski crystals and others feature delicate feathers attached to satin ropes. Each buckle is paired with vintage straps, some are also embellished with Swarovski crystals and antiqued studs. Robbie French belts look great with jeans, tunics and dresses.
And this busy designer also has a passion for travel, children and surfing, so she created a year-round surf camp called “Perfect Day Surf School” sponsored by Quiksilver in Santa Monica and Redondo Beach. www.perfectdaysurfcamp.com
In Orange County, you can check out her belts at:
