nOir Jewelry
I happen to be addicted to nOir right now. Don't even have words to describe how much I love Leeora Caralans work. Such a genius its amazing.
Hope u enjoy it as much as I did. This is information about the designer from her page.
" Leeora Catalan, creator of influential and visionary accessories design house nOir, started her career at Ralph Lauren and Oscar De La Renta before making a name for herself as a fashion stylist. A void in the market challenged Catalan to create specific pieces for a fashion show she was styling, and it was these first designs that were ordered onsite by a department store and pulled in by Italian Vogue to shoot. Right then, in 1995, nOir was born in her studio apartment she shared with her business partner, and now husband. Throughout the years, Catalan has collaborated with fashion industry icons like DKNY, L.A.M.B, Patricia Field, Betsey Johnson, The Blonds, Diesel and Moschino to produce sought after baubles that are seen on the runways. Catalans high-end street influenced designs can be seen gracing the pages of Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Italian Vogue, and Numero. In the 15 years since its inception, nOir has grabbed the attention of style makers such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Madonna, Fergie, Beyonce, and Gwen Stefani, a testimony to Leeora Catalan's alluring designs.
Enjoying the challenge of working with new materials and directions, every season Catalan changes the collection to include a wider variety than the season before, but strives to keep the collection timeless. Exaggerating classics, injecting a sense of humor, and creating show-stopping pieces is the drive behind the nOir concept. Catalan sites New York City as her main muse, “NYC is the greatest place on earth for inspiration- from Little India in Queens, to Fulton mall, to the Flea markets, to Madison Avenue. I don’t need to travel anywhere, it’s all here.” In addition, nOir has most recently collaborated on exclusive projects with partners Walt Disney and DC comics. "

DesignerOftheWeek - Fenton
FENTON
FENTON was created in 2006 by designer Dana Lorenz. After obtaining degrees as a painter from the University of Iowa and the School of the Art Institute, Dana entered the fashion industry, working for Gucci and Donna Karan. Immediate press and retail attention followed, and with a story in American Vogue about the launch, Fenton was soon carried at the top retailers worldwide.
FENTON is an elaborate mix of unexpected elements. The aesthetic inspires fantasy, and is always derived from a strong pop culture reference and point of view. The pieces are strong statements and each are little worlds all their own. Rope, crystals, chains and pearls find themselves wrapped, twisted and bound together in a unique assemblage signature to the brand.
Dana has been recognized by Italian Vogue as one of their “New Talents” featured in the magazine and at Milan Fashion Week and was recently nominated for the 2010 CFDA Swarovski Accessory Designer of the Year Award.
