Niloufar Afnan - Part II

Last year we wrote a post about the talented artist and designer Niloufar Afnan
(http://wiredbrunettes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/niloufar-afnan.html ). Niloufar's name has been associated with her statement jewelry pieces, but she also a furniture designer and artist with unique inspirations.

Below is a video capturing her world and her design inspirations. 

Niloufar has recently created a new bangles collection 'Banglemania' which will be available at Rosa Maria Concept store in Mar Mikhael, Beirut (http://www.rosamariajewellery.com/).

Still here

Just a few words to apologize for the lack of posts last weeks.

I have started a new job as a freelancer and I have too much work lately so I need to rest a little and my wired brunette is in India, can't wait to see pictures and hear all her stories !

We are still here and will go on posting as usual very soon.

Diana Vreeland: the eye has to travel

I was having dinner with a friend of mine yesterday and she suggested that I should watch Diana Vreeland's movie which is available to download on itunes. 

I managed to watch it today,it is a documentary about her life as fashion writer and editor and how she became one of the most influential women of the 20th century, a true icon. 

It is marvelous and I am sure you will enjoy it :)

The voice behind

I was shopping for an occasion the other day with my bestfriend and somehow I found myself always wanting to hear a voice behind telling me that the outfit looks great. Of course my bestfriend did. I didn't want to hear one voice though, I wanted to hear many voices. Do you find yourself in the same situation? Isn't it that no matter what you wear, you are the person you are ? The outfit is simply the way others see the outside of you, and therefore no matter what, if you get a chance to speak, you will either overshadow the outfit (if you were interesting) or the outfit will overshadow you. Well, I would like a mix of both :-)

Nathalie Trad

I knew I need to get hold on one of Nathalie Trad clutches the minute I saw them. Her collection is made of leather handbags, shell & wood clutches and necklaces and is characterized by the geometric structures and contracts in colors and shapes.

Born in Beirut and raised in Dubai, Nathalie Trad graduated rom Paris’ ESMOD International. In 2008, she got a BBA in Design and Management from Parsons The New School for Design in New York and worked with Proenza Schouler for a while . And in 2013 the designer decided to launch her first collection of leather handbags, shell clutches, and statement necklaces. She currently lives in Dubai. 

Here are some pictures of her collection - amazing!
