GenevaHolic: À LA MODE

Tribute to the exceptional women

Nathalie and Paola, you can feel LIFE by looking at them!

This is not a feminist post where men will feel like they should have never born or anything like that... This post is dedicated to all those women who know what falling in life means, who fight every day to make their dreams come true and find their strength from within themselves. This is what Uzume Spirit philosophy is based about.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to meet Paola Limonta, Managing Director of Uzume Spirit. I could feel this positive, motivating and friendly vibe just by looking at her. Smiling, kind, close, we grabbed some coffee at the trendy BG café in town... It was more than an interview, it was talking to a friend, exchanging our points of view in life, and learning about how two different generations fight for a common reason: the desire to succeed and be happy in life.

Women with the Nobel Price Laureat Tribute

One of my favorite... Indian Women tribute

The Uzume team is made by Nathalie, creative jeweler, and Paola, manager, translator and visual artist. They combined both backgrounds so they could offer what today is called Uzume Spirit. The main objective of their collections is to pay tribute to women who, in the past as well as in the present, inspire us with their legacy. Their "12Femmes d'Exception Collection" for example. Audrey, Marie, Sampat Pal, Aung San, Cléopatre, Simone... Their creations relate the personality, quality and strength of these women, whose names are engraved on their creations as a sign of gratitude.

Bracelet entirely made of silver: engraved medallion, little chain and clasp.

A tribute to Audrey Hepburn: American actress, muse of Givenchy and Goodwill Ambassador for Unicef.

I consider myself a total devoted to the Indian community, I work with Fundación Vicente Ferrer in Anantapur helping them develop their children and women based projects. Therefore, I was happily surprised when Paola told me their work with India is also very strong as they created the "Sautoir en Onyx" printing the Indian women names who struggle for the Indian women rights.

Innovative, pioneer, contemporain... Uzume Spirit has something for all of us: Inspiring, Motivating, but also Revealing! I love their "Bracelets Coquins....they come with a code that links you to an erotic novel you can read in their site... Why not? It's all about "Grey" anyway right?

Also, the tribute to the exceptional women can be made with their bags and other accessories!

The Ibiza Boho Chic arrives to Geneva

What does the term BOHO has that we all love to adopt? Yes, “being Boho” is totally IN and the Geneva based Boho Bazaar founder, Evguenia Vojakina, tells us how to look Boho Chic with a few “clicks”.

Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, the Olsen’s sisters, they all have been influenced by this early 21st Century inspired fashion trend that you will find in this online handbag and accessory store called Boho Bazaar.

Evguenia Vojakina, founder of The Boho Bazaar Online Store

Last January, after several trips to the magical island of Ibiza, Evguenia Vojakina decided to bring the free, positive and bright attitude she found there to our city of Geneva. “I always tried to do what I believed in and was passionate about”, Evguenia says during our meeting. In her boho online store you will find all handmade bags and accessories that make us be Boho from head to toe.

With her Russian origins, she found her inspiration in the Ibiza hippy markets. She admires people who live without regrets, who follow their dreams and work hard to make them happen. Her bags, and other accessories are just a reflection of her passion for life philosophy.

The Online Boho Bazaar store is just a beginning. Her next step is making her own collection. “If you have a dream, you should at least try to move towards it, even if it’s crazy. Very often the fear of failure stops us from starting something new.” EV

Experimenting with Tiffany Rowe

Tiffany Rowe

It’s Friday morning and I have “RDV”, what the French speakers love to call “a meeting”, with a jewelry artist.

In a British lookalike Vevey neighborhood, a ravishing, smiling and absolutely friendly Tiffany Rowe is ready to show me and tell me all about her passion in life: the ART of creating jewelry.

It’s been 10 years since she started this thrilling adventure in the art jewelry universe. Right after a, let’s say “not pleasant”, sentimental breakup, she started creating rings and offer them to her close friends in small chocolate boxes. That was just the beginning of her new era. Following her dad’s advice (a former physician with an art background), she kept her passion for art alive while working in other fields in order to be completely independent. Today, Tiffany teaches biology to young students while she designs and expresses her passion through her creative work.

Honeycomb earrings

What does make a piece of jewelry to be considered ART? Let’s say: Authenticity, Exclusivity, and also, Material use uniqueness. Tiffany Rowe’s art is not only based on precious materials and gems, but also on common materials such as plastic, glass, cables and ropes.

“IT HAS TO HAVE A MEANING”. Tiffany only creates following her intuition, vision, and heart. All her pieces (only one piece of each) are made after travels and life experiences. You can feel the New Orleans Carnival vibe through the Lobster necklace, the Southeast England piers smell with the “Nautical but Nice” collection, the Essence of a woman and everything that makes her be A WOMAN with the Essence collection, or just loose yourself through the Enchanted Garden collection.
