| Leeora
Catalan, creator of chic fashion accessories along with her husband and partner
Mash, are the founders of high profile accessories and fashion design house nOir. Now in its twelfth year, the Manhattan-based team has
made a major impact on the culture of modern fashion and continues to stun the
fiercest members of the fashion federation with winning collections. Best known for establishing stones and studs
as an alternative embellishment to 'diamonds are a girl’s best friend', nOir
redefines red carpet appeal and blends it with an edgy street influence for a
fresh and sometimes humorous approach to glamour.
Never
staid, nOir turns on its heels every season.
Like a globetrotter, Leeora finds inspiration from as far away as Tokyo and as nearby as her own Brooklyn backyard, which is
why America’s
foremost designers turn to nOir for their own inspiration. Marc Jacobs, Isaac Mizrahi, Patricia Field, Petro Zillia, Betsey Johnson, Cynthia Rowley and Nanette
LePore have all collaborated with nOir to create jewelry for their runway shows.
It is
Leeora’s earthy tranquility and funkadelic approach that took her from school
directly into Ralph Lauren and subsequently Oscar De La Renta before making a
name for herself as a fashion stylist.
With a great eye for trends and business she launched nOir and
never looked back. nOir is
worn and coveted by celebrity icons including Madonna, Iman, Eve, Foxy Brown,
Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly
Osbourne, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelis and Paris Hilton. |
