It is always exciting when we see AsiaStore‘s designers featured in the press, and all the more exciting when regular folk or celebrities are spotted wearing pieces from their collections. Lindsay Lohan (above) was recently snapped wearing designer Rosena Sammi‘s Bliss Letter Necklace.

You can imagine how excited we were to hear that actress Kelly Preston was spotted all over town in designer Alpana Gujral‘s jewelry designs. Preston showed up at the premiere for her film in a stunning Alpana necklace. Later that week she also made an appearance on Conan O’Brien bejeweled in Alpana’s cuff and earrings.

Kelly said she found Alpana’s jewelry to be “refreshing” and nothing like anything she had seen before. We at AsiaStore have to agree.

Stop by AsiaStore to see Alpana Gujral and Rosena Sammi‘s collections.

AsiaStore was delighted to be featured in WABC TV’s special A New York Holiday! which aired on December 15th. If you missed the special, our segment in Part 2 of the program can be viewed here. Be sure to drop by AsiaStore for special holiday gifts and sparkling attire for the New Year!

AsiaStore was delighted to be featured in the December 3rd issue of The New Yorker Magazine in an article about Museum shops titled “Art and Commerce.”

This is what The New Yorker had to say about AsiaStore:

A visit to Asia Society’s AsiaStore (Park Avenue at 70th Street) will convince you that Asians spend a lot of time pleating. Check out the line of Richard Tsao puckered jackets and the accessories by Han Feng–especially her shimmering shawls with holes that you can slip either your head or your arms through ($200). The dazzling plates by Nima Oberoi look as if they were made out of crinkled foil wrap (in gold, silver, or nickel; $20 and $55).

If you missed the Asia Society program on ABC, which featured a segment on AsiaStore you can now view it here:

Be sure to tune in this Saturday, August 18, to WABC-TV! The channel will be airing a half-hour special titled “Sharing Our Future: Asia Society” beginning at 7:30 p.m., ET.
