Hello Kitty by Kimora Lee Simmons
Hello Kitty goes "Luxe"!
This is one very sparkly story indeed. If you’ve seen the new Britney Spears video “Do Somethin” then you might have noticed the Hello Kitty diamond pendant she’s wearing. Yes, this one-of-a-kind about nine carats of diamonds and is valued at over US$50,000. The pendant is a showcase piece for the new “Hello Kitty Collection by Kimora Lee Simmons,” a co-branded licensed partnership with the Simmons Jewelry Co. The collection - with price points from US$350 to US$3,500 - makes its debut this month exclusively at select Neiman Marcus stores.
Hello Kitty also shines on three classic “Luxe” accessories from Judith Leiber, the American luxury brand known for its crystal accessories. Most notable is the Hello Kitty “Minaudiere” which retails for US$1,895. It’s available at Judith Leiber boutiques and select fine department stores – like Neiman Marcus.
And now, Judith Leiber, the Simmons Jewelry Co. and Sanrio have come together on the ultimate over-the-top accessory – the Hello Kitty Diamond Minaudiere, co-designed by Judith Leiber and Kimora Lee Simmons. Judith Leiber has teamed up with rap superstar Nelly for a private in-store auction event in early May.
The VIP fundraising event will benefit Nelly’s non-profit foundation, 4Sho4Kids, which provides literacy and other educational and social programs to underprivileged inner-city youth. Other items at the auction include an alligator and diamond PDA case co-developed by Judith Leiber and Simmons Jewelry Co.; VIP backstage tickets to Nelly’s upcoming Sweat & Suit tour; and, an autographed “Nellyville” jacket and Nike Air Force 1 sneakers contributed by the rap star himself. In addition to the auction items, a limited edition PDA case will be available by special order at Judith Leiber’s flagship store through August 31st.
“What I am trying to do with 4Sho4Kids and children nationwide is to encourage them to use their minds and provide them with a positive environment,” says Nelly. “Collaborating with Judith Leiber allows us to raise funds for the foundation and provides children with a better alternative other than the streets. So not only is this is an exciting joint venture for both Judith Leiber and myself but an event for a good cause.”
The one-of-a-kind Hello Kitty Minaudiere is encrusted with over 17 carats of white and black diamonds set in 18-karat white gold. Semi-precious stones include over 200 carats of peridot, amethyst and pink sapphires, providing the perfect accent of color to make this bag sparkle! It is valued at US$125,000 and opening bids start at US$50,000!!

Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty (ハローキティ Harōkiti) is one of the many fictional characters produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, and has long been the most popular one out of the company's characters. The character is a very geometric, anthroporphized white cat, with a distincitve bow or some other decoration on her left ear. Copyrighted in 1976, Hello Kitty is now a globally known trademark.
History
Hello Kitty was originally created by Sanrio designer Ikuko Shimizu in 1974. Shimizu left the company about a year later. The second designer, Setsuko Yonekubo, took over for five years until 1980 when the task was given to Yuko Yamaguchi. who still holds the position. The character originally appeared on small novelties for young girls, such as coin purses.
Hello Kitty was given an English name because British culture was popular with Japanese girls at the time of her creation. Kitty's name came from one of the cats that Alice kept in the book Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. When Hello Kitty's boyfriend "Dear Daniel" was created in 1999, designers took his name from the 1971 film, Melody, which starred Mark Lester as a character called Daniel, and features songs by the Bee Gees.
Hello Kitty's fictional world includes a whole array of friends and family members. Since 2004 she has even had a pet cat of her own called Charmmy Kitty, and a pet hamster called Sugar. Charmmy resembles Hello Kitty but has more cat-like features. Charmmy Kitty was given to Hello Kitty by her father, George White, and Sugar by her boyfriend Dear Daniel.
Visual style and possible origins
Like most Sanrio characters, Hello Kitty is drawn in a cute style (see: Kawaii). She has all the normal facial features except she has no mouth. The official answer from Sanrio as to why Hello Kitty has no mouth (see external links below) is that she speaks from the heart, in no one particular language. The current designer, Yuko Yamaguchi, has said the lack of mouth allows her to expresses no emotion. In animated versions Kitty does gain a small mouth when speaking. Hello Kitty usually wears a bow beneath her left ear but she can often be seen with a five petal flower instead. Rarer variations feature other accessories such as strings of flowers.
There has been some suggestion that Hello Kitty has its origins in Maneki Neko, and that the name Hello Kitty itself is a translation of Maneki Neko, which means beckoning cat in English. It has also been noted that the character shows a resemblance to the character Miffy, designed in 1955 by Dick Bruna and that the line drawing style is not original.
Hello Kitty's rising prominence
Hello Kitty has been marketed in the United States from the beginning and has held the position of U.S. children's ambassador for UNICEF since 1983. She really came to her own during the late 1990s when several celebrities such as Mariah Carey adopted her as a fashion statement. Now products featuring the character can be found in virtually any American department store. Hello Kitty was once featured in an advertising campaign of the retail chain Target. Many American celebrities have contributed to the character's popularity: Mariah Carey, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Steven Tyler, Carmen Electra, Mandy Moore, and Nicky Hilton have all been spotted with Hello Kitty goods. Singer Lisa Loeb has admitted to being a fan, and has even dedicated a whole album in homage to Hello Kitty, called Hello Lisa.
Merchandise
Although originally aimed at the pre-adolescent female market, the Hello Kitty logo now adorns almost every product that one can imagine to have its logo on it. Though a large proportion of the merchandise are stationery products, other goods range from foods and clothing to computers and cars, and in Japan, its popularity has penetrated every aspect of Japanese daily life.
The very first product bearing Hello Kitty's image was a small clear vinyl coin purse which sold for 240 yen (today, roughly US$2.27, or €1.77). She is now a phenomenon adorning over 22,000 products and accounting for half of Sanrio's $1 billion yearly revenue.
Electronic games
Several electronic games have been produced where Kitty appears as the main character. These are some of them:
* Hello Kitty: Happy Party Pals (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, THQ / Webfoot Technologies)
* Hello Kitty: Roller Rescue (Nintendo GameCube)
* Hello Kitty World (Famicom)
* Hello Kitty no Ohanabatake, a Hello Kitty's Flower Shop (Famicom)
Hello Kitty as a character
Several Hello Kitty cartoons/animes targeted towards young children have been produced. On Japanese television, Hello Kitty (and pals) have starred in at least one anime series of their own. Hello Kitty's Paradise ran for 16 episodes between 1993 and 1994. It was first released in English in November 2002.
On USA television, the American-produced Hello Kitty and Friends aired 13 episodes on CBS in 1991.
Since 2004 the little cat has been featured on a MasterCard debit card from Legend Credit Inc. The card was released to teach young girls how to shop.
