This summer I made a serious discovery for lovers of earrings and unusual statement sandals and slipons – Elli Lyraraki from Crete, Greece. You’ll be happy to hear that she sells online and she may even do a popup with me in Miami next year. Among her many pedigrees is that she was the first Greek designer to present a collectible line of shoes and jewelry at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris, where her collection received international acclaim and coverage from leading fashion magazines.She also designs earrings for the National Gallery in Athens, inspired by their leading works of art and sculptures and custom gifts for the Crete government. Here’s the story and a look at Elli Lyraraki's work. Stay tuned for a possible popup of her creations in Miami next year spearheaded by yours truly.
