Nervous System Jewelry

December 25th, 2007

Biology and mathematics inform the delicate designs of Jessica Eve Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenber. I’ve featured Nervous System previously; however, they now have their own webshop.

You can choose from two lines: Dendrite and Radiolaria. Dendrite uses stainless steel and Radiolaria silicone rubber and stainless steel.

The website is not only as beautifully designed as their goods, but there is a blog that provides insight into the designers’ inspirations and current interests. Plus, there is a section where you can create your own designs.

I’m willing to bet that we’ll soon be seeing their pieces featured in some big name places.
Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Magda Berliner

December 17th, 2007

I’ve featured Magda Berliner on here many times before and she’s still one of my favourite independent designers. Her Fall 07 collection is featured below. It’s good to see that she’s still using lace for many of her pieces, even though it’s no longer the latest trend.

How excited was I to see character shoes on her and the model’s feet? I’ve had character shoes on my what-to-wear list since last year-really! Ah, synchronicity.

Brooklyn store Gargyle, channels the old-fashioned country club lifestyle when choosing the clothing and accessories to carry, but really, they just stock a lot of great basics from some well known and not so well known independent designers.

Sunja Link

October 15th, 2007

Vancouver designer, Sunja Link derives inspiration from Swedish design when she designs her self-titled line. Soft, pretty, and simple pieces dominate her collections, but the clothing isn’t boring.

Online shopping coming soon.

Shopping Paris Mode

October 8th, 2007

Shopping Paris Mode is an online French boutique that carries a nice, little selection of mostly French labels. They ship worldwide, and again I’m limited on time so I’ll see if I can go back later to update with prices.
