Adha Zelma Jewelry goes from Beautiful to Fierce in Kouture Magazine

Pick up the Jul/ Aug 2011 issue of Kouture Magazine to read the Adha Zelma designer profile in their Fashion Files.

We were excited to talk to the Kouture team about  the new collection 5, what inspires our work and the adventures of the fashion biz.

We go from Beautiful to Fierce!

Excerpt: As Sheanan puts it, the woman who wears their jewelry is “someone who is not afraid

of attention… loves to be gazed upon, buys what she likes and makes no qualms about it.” The source of inspiration for both

designers is the celebration of all that is woman, especially the female form. The brand’s designs are centered on bringing

traditionalism into the modern world while allowing “spirit to flow organically through the designs. We love working with

exotic materials like tusks, python ribs and stingray. Our work is globally inspired and bold. We explore the many emotions that create one’s journey in life.”

A Mid-Summer’s Night Rio

“This Morning I woke up and refused to comb my hair!”

When I first heard this line from the published poet, lyricist, performer, love maker and Adha Zelma “IT” goddess Faybiene Miranda, I knew we would be friends for a very long time. I soon found out Faybiene is a legendary name in Reggae. Her first recording, ‘Prophecy’ in the 1970’s is regarded as one of the biggest classics from the period.

This diva is one of the most stylish artists in any scene. She rocks an earthy, world-culture sophistication and was the perfect model choice for our Mid-Summer’s Night Rio shoot.
It was important to Sheanan and myself to make sure the model we selected was truly a woman who could embody a spirit with NO regrets, loves her power and wants all eyes on her. Faybiene was perfect! Our muse for the Rio collection was “Titania,” queen of the fairies from Shakespeare’s A Mid-Summer’s Night Dream. We wanted to approach the shoot with a blend of theater (my background) & fashion (Sheanan’s).
Our good friend Sean from In Focus photography was down to join us in our creative voyage.
So off we went renegade style…

The blogs have been going crazy over this shoot since the magazines hit the stands. We loved the Cesare Paciotti Harlequin pattern pumps, and, of course, the Akademiks cut-out jeans are insane!!!!
