I’ve been asked time and time again, what inspires my designs. My short answer? Everything!

I am an independent thinker who glides to the tune of an unscripted life. So while I love to throw a good party, dance ‘til I literally drop, and laugh from deep within, I am equally passionate about the world’s state of affairs, an enlightening book such as Sapiens, or the one I am currently reading, Talking to Strangers, and pruning our garden roses with the cascading sound of water from an adjacent fountain filling my senses.

My husband and I approach child rearing with an equal dose of fluidity. When our children were young, we poured our souls into it. We were relatively strict by limiting television to a few hours on the weekends only, and sweets to a bare minimum, for example. We read to them religiously and required that they too engage in silent sustained reading for at least thirty minutes a day. They were the last in their friend groups to receive phones (and much to their dismay, they were not smart ones either.) Today we move to a different tune, trusting that the lessons of years past have served, not only to give them a confident voice, but to aid them in making successful choices. In short, we live in the black, white and grey.

My approach to design, however, is neither black nor white, and certainly not grey. It is more of a thoughtful amalgam of the two former. I prefer five inch stilettos, and flat sandals or sneakers, for example, to kitten, Louis, or Cuban heels. And when it comes to interiors, I embrace a similar design concept by juxtaposing modern minimalism with grandeur. While the approach is far more difficult to achieve than committing to a single design style, the result can be awe-inspiring.

Much in the same vein, our line continues to evolve with a combination of bold designs, art inspired ultra-modern pieces (18K Gallery Collection) and minimal designs. Today we are unveiling six of the latter which can be worn alone, together, or in conjunction with our bold designs. To learn more, click on a design. Happy shopping!
