Seeing Oxblood

Hanneli Mustaparta

Oxblood is an undeniable star colour of the season, and it will be continuing its reign come spring as well. This seductive deep red shade has an ability to look both daytime and nighttime appropriate, and extremely polished at that.

 Miroslava Duma

Vita Fede Capri Wrap
 
We love Miroslava Duma's sporty take with her leather jumpsuit. Not only is oxblood a gorgeous colour, but really sexy in leather form. We suggest Vita Fede's wrap bracelet for go with the look.

Rodarte F/W 2012 

Bounkit Faceted Ruby and Peridot Earrings

Rodarte's oxblood had a '40s ladylike feel to it. Very demure and sophisticated, we think Bounkit's ruby earrings would hit the right feel.

Jason Wu F/W 2012  

Elizabeth Cole Chandelier Earrings

Oh, Jason Wu. He's becoming every girl's dream designer, taking notes from legendary Oscar de la Renta. This oxblood evening gown is a stunner and, may we say, a bit of a doppelganger for Elizabeth Cole's chandelier earrings.

Introducing SHOUROUK

 

Shourouk Rhaiem

Who wears Shourouk? The question is: Who doesn't? From the stylish wrists of Miroslava Duma to Anna Dello Russo's impossibly long neck, to supermodel Karlie Kloss in the pages of Vogue, to the iconic Sarah Jessica Parker.

Ever since Paris-based Shourouk Rhaiem established her label in 2007, it's been a mainstay in glossy magazine pages and celebrity accessory drawers. And for a reason, of course: Her colourful and glistening compositions are hard to resist. We are done resisting, and are happy to announce that Shourouk will be arriving to Sophie's Closet this month!

 

Shourouk F/W 2012

Having previously worked for Chloe, John Galliano, and Roberto Cavalli, high fashion and quality craftsmanship was already party of her design repertoire. As an avid traveller, Shourouk is inspired by her many journeys, collecting beautiful objects and placing them in her studio to spark her creativity.

The result is a fantastic mash-up of worldly inspirations, like vivid colours from Bollywood films and the opulence of Russian aristocracy.

So beautiful, one can instantly glamourize a simple jean dress like Miroslava Duma's, just by adding a little Shourouk.

Especially when it comes to the bright statement necklaces that add that extra ooph! to any outfit.
