We spotted Caitlin Ross Odom's beach glass jewelry at Green Style in Kona a few months ago, and we've been waiting for her to bring a trunk show to Honolulu. Now she has.

She's part of Shasa Emporium's Grand Reopening Party from noon to 5 p.m. tomorrow in Kahala Mall.

Odom, who lives on Kaua'i, combines her knowledge of silver metalsmithing and her love of beachcombing, especially beach glass, in a line of bold contemporary jewelry. Surfing and hula also contribute to her aesthetic; 735-5122, www.shasaemporium.com.

JAPANESE WOMEN'S SOCIETY FASHION SHOW

The 55th anniversary fashion show of the Japanese Women's Society Foundation, called "Kokoro o Musubu — Joining Hearts and Cultures," features the Hakubi Kyoto Kimono School of Japan. Hakubi means "the best," and the school will present a spectacular kimono exhibition. Among the kimono on the runway will be hana obi musubi, an elaborate, full-dress kimono with floor-length sleeves, worn only by unmarried young women for formal events.

The Hakubi women will demonstrate how to tie an obi, as well as how to make the hands and body flow to the rhythm of the music while wearing a kimono.

The show, a benefit for Kuakini Home, a care home for the elderly, takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday in the Sheraton Waikiki hotel's Hawaii Ballroom; $80, $100 for VIP seating. Call 524-0450 or e-mail bobandsuzette@hawaii.rr.com.

CONNECTING WITH ASIA AT INDIGÉ

Ron Irwin, owner of Indigé in Kaimuki, spent 30 years living and creating in Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. He made contacts with weavers in Nepal, Laos and Indonesia and has continued those relationships in his chic Honolulu shop. His own line of Indigé clothing is a result of such collaborations, including one with Nepalese who weave to his specifications.
The handwoven pintucked cotton tops and pants pictured here were made in Indonesia. On the front outfit, the warp is gold and the weft is blue, creating a subtle sheen. These wash-and-wear garments will last for years. Pants and top are each $175. The handwoven basket is from central Thailand: $275.
