Born and raised in New York City (by a Cuban mother and a Greek father), Seville Michelle is a self-taught jewelry designer who brings her unique background to life in her work by re-imagining the accessories of her youth. Growing up immersed in the fashion and jewelry trends of the 1990’s, Seville wore large doorknocker earrings, big gold chains that shimmered with pendants of religious saints, and icons throughout her adolescent life. Her creative palette expanded beyond chunky gold jewelry in the glamorous nightlife scene of the mid 90’s. As a designer she merges street style with luxury in a very New York City way, always referencing her city life roots, and identity. Seville entered the design world in 2009 with a full line of epaulets (shoulder jewelry), a concept never before seen, Glamour.com sites her as being the inventor of the edgy concept. Patricia Field’s store in New York became a flagship for Seville’s eponymous line of accessories, a personal accomplishment for her since she spent years as a patron. With the support of the House of Field, Seville began developing new concepts, and emerged from her “think tank” with an idea that would captivate trendsetters, and tastemakers alike. The fantasy of wrapping the “doorknocker” earring in Italian leather was like adding diamonds to a casio. Her earrings quickly grew a cult following, among some of the biggest names in music, international press and retail attention followed. The earrings were soon carried at Nordstrom and Mario Testino photographed a pair on Nicole Kidman for the 2012 Fall issue of V magazine. Get more on here http://www.sevillemichelle.com/
