New Arrivals: Rella and Nave

New Designer: RELLA
Who is Rella? The designer, Cindy Borjas is an art director with a strong background in costume history. She began designing jewelry a few years ago,after being frustrated by the lack of truly unique accessories available in the stores. She designs things she always wanted to wear but could never find. This season, she has created jewelry that encompasses motifs and ideas from different eras in costume history, but with a modern twist so the piece is wearable now and for many years to come. Cindy loves to experiment and her aim is always to create jewelry that makes you feel as if you are wearing something very special and one-of-a-kind - just like you. Her pieces are not for shy types! They are for girls who like to wear unique pieces. Her necklaces work best with simple shapes and work especially well with the1920 flapper look that we are seeing everywhere this fall.



Lola y Maria is very proud to be one of the first shops to carry the line and as a special treat, those of you subscribed shoppers will receive 15% off your purchase on any Rella items, now through Monday, October 22nd. Just enter code: luckyrabbit, upon checkout.

Nave Fall - Designed by Alice Ritter and Carson Potter
Each season Nave invites a group of collaborating designers to contribute specific elements of the collection. The newest collaborators for fall /winter 2007 are New York City based designers Alice Ritter and Carson Potter.

About the Designers:
Carson Potter: Sariah Carson and Jaylin Potter (Parsons survivors by the way) are based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Their work plays beautifully against the silhouette with exquisite attention to detail. While evocative of classic sentiments of femininity, it drops the puritan sense of modesty with its rich decadent textures.

Alice Ritter:Ritter describes her style as "feminine, romantic and bold. It's a mix between the dream of couture I had as a kid growing up in France and every-day practicality. I like clothes with spirit and a touch of humor."
Ritter also 2007 is inspired by 1960s French and Italian style icons Jeanne Moreau and Monica Vitti, who play rivals in the movie, La Notte. But Ritter also draws on what she calls "poetic persona," such as Lee Miller, to make this collection "a combination of pre-war romance and 60s minimalist chic."Collection Highlights include the modern armory coat, lace stitch sweater dress, frocks featuring grossgrain ribbon, lacin, oversized buttons and other innovative detailing!
