Accessory designer: Natalia Brilli
"Born in Liège, Belgium, Natalia Brilli studied at the prestigious Cambre school in Brussels. Straddling the worlds of theatre and fashion, she designed sets and costumes whilst simultaneously collaborating with established fashion designers. After joining Paris' IFM (Fashion French Institute) in 2003, she decided to devote all her energy to her life's passion: fashion accessories.
In 2004 she joined Rochas where she still works to this date. That same year she launched her own label, which was snapped up by Maria Luisa, Browns and Barneys.
Appropriating the emblematic codes of classic jewelry, Natalia's pieces have an ethereal presence, monochromatic yet weightless, their essence freed from unnecessary embellishment.
Her inspiration follows the natural rhythm of the seasons without ever forsaking her signature "pearls", and her colour range, limited in the beginning to black, green and purple, now includes pastel tones with natural or metallic finishes."
Some of her accessories are available here in Montréal at the trendy boutique Reborn; for more info, 514-499-8549.
