Jessica Kagan Cushman Jessica Kagan Vodka Martini, Shaken not Stirred

• Whimsical, fun and rather "Expressive" is what can best describe Jessica Kagan Cushman bangles
• Daughter of renowned furniture designer Vladimir Kagan and needlework queen Erica Wilson design runs in her veins, so it seems only natural that Jessica Cushman's work is totally unique and fresh. Having learned scrimshaw from her father, Jessica has taken the artform to a new (and slightly un-orthodox) level - creating bracelets that lie somewhere between a tattoo and a bumper sticker. Jessica takes quotes and phrases, from movies, literature and in some cases, New York graffiti and transcribes them via scrimshaw onto fossilized wooly mammoth ivory bracelets - combing a venerable traditional craft with wry, modern wit. Today Jessica Cushman's bangles, can be found at the Best stores and are frequent in the pages of all the major magazines, such as Instyle, W, Elle, Nylon.
