To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt who said: “Walk quietly…and carry a big stick” my style adage is “dress plainly and carry a big rock” …and what better way to do it then with 150 year old pieces of Victorian Indian jewellery from Mumbai-based Kavita Behl or with home-grown talent Dave Soh. Both offer a different look…you may like one or the other, or like me, BOTH!

Kavita’s pieces are ornate and super-embellished and the irony is that I find they can be used in an understated way with casual jeans during the day or in a bedazzling way to complement evening dress. Style it up, experiment with it….its jewellery it won’t bite back.

Dave Soh’s jewellery is indeed marvelous, his aesthetic unsurpassed…ask T, she is a big fan and has several of his more understated yet flamboyant pieces. The irony of that phrase is what gives him his unique and totally identifiable design aesthetic. His new collection launched at Q recalls flower posies, enameled ladybugs and all creatures great and small. It is in a word “fantastical”. We predict the totally talented Dave will become an international brand…be there at the beginning of this talent’s roll-out.

Art To Wear

Thursday 31st July from 4 to 8 pm (By Invitation only)

Friday 1st August from 11 to 8 pm

Saturday 2nd August 11 to 8 pm

Artist entrepreneur and all around cool chick Sheree Fahey makes the most unique artpieces we have seen and best of all you can wear them! Her hand decoupaged belt buckles are a little bit scrapbook style injected with a tiny soupcon of memorabilia and a whole lot of quirky personality. She is simply prodigious…what do you feel like today… roses and butterflies, rock ‘n roll, old Hollywood glamour or my favourite, her dog Jack chowing down on a Cuban! 

Rock on Sheree!

There is no other way to say it…super-functional, super-light Lockheart bags have just arrived in-store. We bought a wide range of styles… big shoulder bags, little shoulder totes and the most wonderful wallets imaginable all in varying shades of beige, mustard, brown and black. Lockheart is great for office girls with an after-office social life!
