Joanna grew up creating string bracelets, and later started selling her own handmade bracelets to friends and family; only to realise her true love and appreciation for jewellery design.  The young designer finally made a decision to pursue a degree in jewellery design at Central St.Martins and GIA in London.

 

Inspired by art and nature, Dahdah’s design aesthetic is to create original and feminine wearable pieces. After completing her studies, the Beirut-born gemologist has set up her eponymous brand in the United Kingdom, and opened her own concept store at the end of 2010 in Beirut; where she stocks her own designs alongside other designers such as Shaun Leane, Monica Vinader, Tomaz Donocik, and Carole Guez, from all around the world.

Five Micro Trends To Try This Fall

Micro but major! These trends stole the spotlight on many runway shows and have gained a lot of hype amongst various retail stores in the following months. Yes, they are timeless with a twist but nothing is too flashy or hard to pull-off. From matching suit ensembles to vibrant knee-high boots, hyper-glossy leather, and more we have selected repeated trends, ones we are sure you’ll be wearing for the rest of this season.

So it is time to get comfortable with these new perspectives, and here’s our round up of five micro-trends that are most appropriate for fall.

1) Suit Up

Fashion-forward crowds are mixing up style rules from pairing crisp suits with classic white shirts to pop prints; this trend is pretty much up for experimentation. Yes, it’s not just for men, so ladies embrace the matchy-matchy look with a full suit set paired with platforms or stiletto boots for a chic twist.

A post shared by Alexa (@alexachung) on

 

 

2) Split-Hem Pants

We tend to see frills on blouses or dresses, but now this punk aesthetic detail has made its way down to pants! This asymmetrical fringed hemline is a complete nod to the good old ’90s, begging to be styled with a cozy neutral-toned sweater, lace-up pumps and versatile shades for a show-stopping look.

A post shared by Olivia Palermo (@oliviapalermo) on

 

 

3) Bright Knee-High Boots

Nothing beats a good pair of statement boots that can be used to persuade a bold wintery look.

A post shared by Chiara Ferragni (@chiaraferragni) on

 

4) Shiny Leather 

According to FW17 runways, the sleek vinyl is a big trend! So be on the lookout for mirror-like finish pieces, and preferably in jet-black. For a fresh fall classics update, opt for a glossy trench, skirt or hat.

A post shared by Camila Coelho (@camilacoelho) on

5) Fall Florals

Try going for moody or romantic floral prints in a feminine mini-dress or skirt. Also, dare to layer it with a leather moto-jacket and a pair of black sock boots to add an extra edge to your outfit.

Jewellery Focus: Swati Dhanak

A specialist in fine gold and diamond jewellery, Dubai-born desinger Swati Dhanak comes from a long-line of traditional goldsmiths and spent her childhood at her family-owned jewellery shop, opened by her grandfather since the 1950’s in Dubai. This early exposure helped her become a true expert in jewellery making and led to start of her eponymous fine jewellery brand.

The New York-based designer draws inspiration from landscape lines, architecture and abstract art; for example one of her first collection named Movement, is heavily influenced by her home-country’s rippled sandy deserts. Having lived in between the East and the West parts of the world, Dhanak developed a unique aesthetic and her breathtaking designs are all customized using the finest 18k gold and diamonds, creating wearable pieces featuring cutting-edge geometric structures and shapes.

Today, Swati Dhanak Jewellery designs are defined with a unique industrial feel, giving her work a strong and recognizable identity across the globe. And with just three collections under her belt, the fashion-forward brand is already a big hit amongst many major stars in Hollywood.
