This
holiday season we’re thrilled to partner with fellow accessories line Caviar
Noir. What struck us about the
collection and its founder & head designer, Julie Ann Ramos, are the many
similarities between us: we (clearly)
love bold looks, we’re influenced by our Filipina American backgrounds in all
that we do, we have the same affinity for boutique shopping and no matter where
we go, we are Jersey girls at heart! But
what really convinced us that this is a brand we want to collaborate with is
that despite all our similarities, Julie clearly has a different vision for her
line’s bold style; she uses a lot of strong, tough metals – though we all have
the same end result of ‘making a statement’ in mind, the process in which we
get there varies, and we love that.
Julie
has created a 4-piece Caviar Noir hair accessories capsule line with our
Cayetano Legacy Collection audience in mind, available now through the Holiday
2013 season exclusively on www.cayetanolegacy.com.
Get
an inside look into Caviar Noir through Julie here:
CLC: What inspired you to start your own line?
Caviar
Noir: It all started with my desire to
wear body jewelry and, at the time, body jewelry was not easily available as
much as it is today. So I created my own look by attaching chains together. I
wore my creation out to events and it was a hit. Many people complimented me
and even asked where they could get one. By then I knew there was a need for
jewelry like that.... and it was my job to make it easily accessible to
everyone.
CLC:
How would you describe the aesthetic of your pieces?
Caviar
Noir: Edgy yet elegant. My designs have
a dichotomous nature that is designed to mold to the individual and their
personal style. Whether
you decide to wear pearls with leather combat boots, or spikes and skulls
with a floral dress, each piece possesses a nature to openly express the
different sides of your personality.
CLC:
What are your favorite fashion trends and accessories?
Caviar
Noir: I am so happy the early 90's
fashion trends are back. Crop tops and A-line skirts...love! I also love the
biker chic look. Black and leather is all I ever wear nowadays. I love how we
are transitioning into wearing bolder statement jewelry. After all, CLC and
Caviar NOIR designs are bold!
CLC:
Speaking of, what inspired you to create these four capsule pieces with
Cayetano Legacy Collection?
Caviar
Noir: I am in my goth phase now... so many of my newer designs are dark and
edgy. I thought it would be an interesting combo to create hair pieces that
express the intricate beadwork of CLC's designs and put a noir spin on it.
I am so excited and honored to be doing a collaboration with CLC. I have always been inspired by their ability
to be successful women in business. Being a Filipino American, I am proud that
CLC has given the world the opportunity to see how beautiful the Philippine
culture is.
CLC:
And lastly, how will you be celebrating the holidays?
Caviar
Noir: I'm lining up trunkshows in the
upcoming months so hopefully I'll be very busy for the holidays. These hair
pieces make great presents...wink wink =)
