Born in Liege, 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 until, after joining Paris’ IFM in 2003, she decided to devote all her energy to her life’s passion: fashion accessories.

When Olivier Theyskens was the designer at Rochas, Natalia was head of the accessories. After she decided to establish her own brand in 2005. She was given the Andam award for accessories in 2006.

Her new Fall-Winter 2008-09, she presents us a dark world evolving around the equestrian theme. The range includes elements like leather rope, chain, braids, fringes, horsehair, goat fur and burned wood incorporated into her trademark leather jewellery and sculptural handbags. As always, it’s beautiful.
