Up & Coming: Melody Ehsani

You probably know Melody Ehsani  without even knowing her.  Her ubiquitous line of accessories caters to the bold, sexy, fierce and fearless women, so it’s no wonder that you can find her pieces all over the scene, from Rhianna, to Erykah Badu, to Keri Hilson.  Yes, those rings that turned you on in Miss Keri’s “Turnin’ Me On” video were done by Melody, who is one of the artist’s favorite designers.  She’s quickly becoming the favorite of many, in and out of the limelight.  Actually, Melody’s creative uses of bright plastics, shiny mirrors, chunky chains, and wild designs deserve their own time to shine!  If that’s not enough, this powerhouse designer started off by creating a bad-ass line of ladies shoes, and she still keeps it coming.  Melody Ehsani’s got it locked.

Although her looks go for the bold, her approach to life and her line is quite humbling, creating a divine balance between art and artist.  Melody taps into her strength as a woman to push boundaries and go for the unconventional, ultimately unleashing the same powers in those that don her products.

Without any further ado, I preset you with Final Frontier by Melody Ehsani: Accessories Lookbook, Fall 2009

The Up & Coming: Assad Mounser

I came across the beautiful and vibrant jewelry of Amanda Assad Mounser who is based in New York but originally from Texas. Although fall/winter 2009 is when she first officially launched her collection, she has been working in the fashion industry for the last five years. I love her take on the “multi-chain” look which compliments her rich color palette well. The line is currently distributed in the United States and in Japan.

Check out more of her work here.

All The Rage: Lace!

Lace Glasses

vs.

Lace Ears

After doing some research, I first noticed Lace Sunglasses on Gudrun Kloespsch's runway in June of 2008.  A German designer that recently graduated from Royal College of Art.

As for the Lace Ears, it seems to be Maison Michael's version of bunny ears which first debuted on the catwalk for the  Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 collection by design Marc Jacobs.

So which one would you rock, if any?
