In Which We Are In Awe

INTERVIEW WITH ILA DAVINA
"The creative hand behind the jewellery label Vanity Insanity"

Vanity Insanity was born on December 2010 and for Ila Davina, the idea of making a jewellery line came from years ago and it has always been one of her dream. Now that it is here, just like her dream come true.

JUMANNEE had the chance to get her answering few questions about her dream and hope toward Vanity Insanity and share it with you.

How's the idea of Vanity Insanity born? What is the background?
For the love of fashion and art, that is the background. Jewellery is a form of fine arts. So, to me jewellery making is my kind of way on dedicating my life on both art and fashion world. It is like fine art and fashion collide.

Why jewellery?

Because I love to accessorize. To me accessories like jewellery is the most important element in fashion. Do not leave home without it!

In your opinion, what is best to describe jewellery in fashion and style?

Forgetting to put on your jewellery is like going bare. 

How do you relate yourself to each of the design? Do they stand as an extension of you as a person in some way?

Yes definitely! Each piece of my designs is very precious to me and carries stories and spiritual journey. It is like my other half.

Where do your inspiration comes from?

 A twisted mind and the land of weirdness called the earth and beyond 

    

What kind of person that wears your design? 

An edgy person and an artsy fartsy person who appreciates good arts and fine fashion.

What makes Vanity Insanity Jewellery special among other brands?

The concept, the material and the packaging. It is also handmade. The touch of the hand is what made my jewellery more than an accessories, it is a creation.

The video of amazing bags collection from Larissa Hadjio, a designer based in London who makes these wonderful collection of leather bags taking the forms of sea creatures. In Larissa's words, "It’s about wearing something that fits your character, rather than buying a bag that already speaks for itself".




(Video from Youtube)

The bags constructed in a 3D pattern making technique which is almost like reverse origami to create the shapes and personality of each underwater creature. Fashion speaks more about the personality, of the designer and of the masses. The era of fashion this season moves to the new length not only for the clothes, but also for the creative energy inside the players and therefore put fashion into a higher level of distinctive style.
