I fell in love with Mawi's collection immediately few years ago, after seeing her magnificent collections spread in London fashion week's report. Since then I have always anxious to see her next creations.
Mawi Keivom, an Indian-born designer started her namesake accessories line in 2003 after starting out in women"s wear at Isaac Mizrahi in New York. Growing up in Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and New Zealand among others, Mawi credits her nomadic childhood as a defining influence on her aesthetic, “It made me see the world from a different perspective, this exposure obviously translates into my work”, she says. “There’s always a collision of cultures and underlying influences that you can’t pinpoint.” She’s right – jade tusks, jewelled insects, molten skulls, sharp metal spikes, and angled geometric shapes all form part of her collections.
Let's take a look at Mawi's Fall 2011 collections, which I have selected from http://style.com here a few pieces of my most favorite pieces that a so intricate and beautifully done.
Bracelets/Bangles:
