    Miroslava Duma always seems to get it right, her street styling and risk taking aesthetic has been noticed worldwide. We can’t stop thinking about the Chanel pearl headpiece she wore at Paris fashion week last year.

    Dauphines of New York creates the most fun, stylish and luxurious statement hair pieces perfect for the fashion forward. Always worn best with a centre parting, these headpieces suit every face shape.

    We spy the Dannijo Victor Crystal Necklace amongst a few others around Miroslava Duma’s neck. If you cant choose one layer them on.

    Jewellery and accessories worn by Miroslava Duma always ‘make’ her outfit. We can’t get enough of her style, she wears accessories like no one else, there is no wonder she is the Russian “It Girl”. Two of our favorite jewelry designers Shourouk and Dannijo pieces are often seen stacked on her wrists.

    We say Miroslava should try out these Elizabeth Cole’s Navy Mohawk Earrings or Badgley Mischka’s Multi Bow Necklace.

  • Q&A with Summer Rej, Dauphines of New York

    Q&A with Summer Rej, Dauphines of New York

    Taking inspiration from Boho icons like Anita Pallenberg and Jane Birkin, and the original bad girl style icon, Marie Antoinette, the tragic Queen of France, Dauphines of New York has landed on some of the chicest heads in the fashion world. We are referring to the beautiful jewelled headpieces that are sure to make every woman feel like royalty. We caught up with Dauphines founder Summer Rej to learn more about her collection.

    Do you remember your first jewellery memory?
    Yes, primarily around New York: observing glamourous NYC women; the windows of stores on Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue; and also viewing timeless artifacts through visits to museums in New York and throughout Europe.


    Marie Antoinette

    Your background is in publishing. What prompted you to start your own line?
    After graduating from Cornell University in 2006, I worked in Advertising at Vogue Living, followed by a position in Creative Services at Vogue from 2006-2009. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to do editorially focused work for stylists on international and domestic photoshoots. I was fortunate to work for some of the most innovative taste makers in the industry, where I was exposed to such an abundance of creative energy. From that, the concept blossomed, the idea became a reality, and Dauphines of New York was born.

    (exclusive to Sophie’s Closet)

    What inspired the name Dauphines of New York?
    Dauphines of New York is inspired by Marie Antoinette, who was a Dauphine of France prior to holding the title of Queen. Since many of the designs are modern tiaras, the name seemed appropriate.


    Kate Moss

    Who is your number one style icon?
    Kate Moss.

    If you could pick one person to wear Dauphines of New York, who would it be?
    You! Dauphines of New York is for the discerning and trendsetting modern women of today — the style icons of tomorrow.

  • Be Jewelled

    Be Jewelled

    chaneprefall2012
    Chanel Pre-Fall 2012
    Ornate is definitely a term we’ll be hearing a lot this season. Fall 2012 is dazzling in beautiful brocade numbers and stunning jewels. Karl Lagerfeld kicked off the trend with his Pre-Fall 2012 Chanel collection titled Paris-Bombay, and we were completely seduced by the jewelled headpieces.
    Miroslava Duma wearing Chanel
    So was bona fide street style star, Miroslava Duma, who was photographed wearing a Chanel headpiece.
    Enter Erickson Beamon and their equally impressive number, with a gold chain to be worn down the middle hair part, similar to Miroslava Duma.
    Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012
    Dolce & Gabbana also showed jewelled headpieces some love. Their collection, inspired by Sicilian Baroque, was perhaps the most strikingly ornamental collection this season.
    Dauphines of New York Pearl and Glass Headpiece (pre-order)
    Luckily for us, Dauphines of New York designed some gorgeous pieces exclusively for Sophie’s Closet. ‘Amber’, featuring pearls and amber has a lovely Eastern feel to it, and the pearl and glass one is so amazingly decadent, princess-worthy.
    And, that’s not all! We also have a jewelled stunner called “Jahzara” from Dannijo arrivingsoon. Here’s a sneak peek — very Indian-inspired! — worn by their lovely studio intern. (Thanks for the pic, Dannijo! We can’t wait to receive it.)
