A conversation with Will
We’ve long been obsessed with Will Kahn, the crazy talented—and curatorial—mind behind Will’s Notebook. The editor and stylist has been detailing (by hand) some of the most compelling pieces in the market, breaking down their facets and features with his years of industry experience and expertise. Now, we’ve convinced Will to come onboard as our first Guest Editor, to help curate our collections and bring his trusted eye to Cast. Here, he shares his favorite jewelry trends, how to get the looks he loves, and what he sees on the horizon, exclusively with us on The Edit.
a lifelong love
“There’s just something about it,” Will Kahn says about his lifelong love of jewelry. The editor, stylist, and first in our series of Cast Guest Editors developed a passion for all things jewelry through his grandmother, a vivid sensory experience they shared that would stick with him to this day. Now, as the creative mind behind Will’s Notebook, an Instagram destination where Kahn curates trends, collections, and designers through hand-drawn infographics on his lined notebook, Kahn has become an undisputed arbiter of style.
As a thoughtful watcher and interpreter of the industry with flawless taste and unrivaled knowledge of fine and vintage jewelry, Kahn is the perfect partner to help us launch Cast. Through his decades of experience, he’s informed and understands the artisanship and craftsmanship evident in each and every piece—and the depth of talent of the designers that bring them to life. And most importantly, he shares in our excitement for big, bold, and beautiful jewelry, especially as seen in the collections on Cast. “This jewelry is so easy to wear and I can see it on so many women in my life,” Kahn says of what drew him to Cast and the partnership. “Plus I love the ethos behind the jewelry—committing to environmental and socially sustainable practices.”
Follow along as Kahn takes the reigns as our debut Guest Editor of The Edit and curates the collection as only he knows how.
