Niyona: Bags to Cherish

2011-07-18T09:22:00.001+07:00

Nina Bodenhorst, the 26-year-old founder and designer of Niyona, clearly understands the power of bags. She launched her own label in November last year, determined to make something that could satisfy her personal taste, as well as reflect the design heritage of Belgium, where she creates and produces her line: “It was important for me to have my own brand, but I felt strongly about having it made in Belgium.

Nowadays, most bag companies outsource their production elsewhere in order to reduce costs, but I really wanted Niyona to go back to craft and artisanship, which are two core values for me” With a background in Industrial Design – Bodenhorst graduated in 2007 from the prestigious Ecole de la Cambre in Brussels – and an internship at Delvaux, she quickly understood that making bags was her thing. Still, a desire for practicality and functional features were essential to her vision:

We started out with two styles, which were based around this idea of being able to carry shoes or clothes into your own bag. We added a zipped compartment, where you could always store a comfortable pair of ballerinas if you got tired of walking in high heels all day. I remember going to Paris during Fashion Week and made a quick stop at Printemps and Galeries Lafayette to see what accessory brands they had. Sales assistants kept stopping us asking where our bags were from and I realised there was a potential to turn my passion into a brand.

There's something bubbly and inspiring about Bodenhorst's personality, giving her bags presence and character. She's good at communicating what she believes in, defending honesty rather than seduction: “I'm aware that my bags may not be loved by everyone, but they're really close to my heart and seem to provoke a strong reaction. I just want to keep on evolving as a designer and refine my perspective on accessories. Possibilities with bags are endless, making them exciting items to work with.”

Wundervoll is wonderful

2011-07-18T07:27:00.001+07:00

Produced exclusively in Germany, subtle sexiness is Wundervoll’s aesthetic, represented with strong branding strategies and manifest via minimalistic silk, satin and jersey pieces. Wundervoll’s signature piece is a high-waist pantie, included each season with variations on the original style. This season welcomes a new member of the Wundervoll family: Stardust, a chic silk jersey jumpsuit so comfortable wearers will not want to leave their abode.
TribaSpace talked with Matthias Jaschke about his Wundervoll vision….

Why luxury lingerie?
Matthias Jaschke: There is a gap that currently exists in the lingerie market in my opinion, and I would like to close it. Wundervoll is sensible luxury combined with intelligent and understated sex appeal. It is lingerie that envelopes the female body without constricting it. We don’t just want women to look good in Wundervoll, we want them to feel completely comfortable – confident about their body, as well as the quality of materials and high standard of production. We aim to create an unmistakable Wundervoll style, and not follow short-lived trends.

Is Germany a difficult market for lingerie?
That is a common perception. Germans – if you believe clichés – do not spend as much money on their underwear as French, Spanish or Americans. On the other hand, if they do, they want to have the best quality: this is their definition of luxury underwear, not fancy cuts or lace but fabrics and specific details. The market is good for us as there is an increasing number of boutiques ordering substantial quantities.

Have social media and new technologies, such as TribaSpace, made an impact on your business?
Absolutely! The entire Wundervoll marketing and PR team is supported by social media platforms, digital imaging and digital delivery of information – it is efficient, fast and cost-sensitive. For the sales department we also increasingly use digital ways of presenting and communicating, in addition to the traditional sales formats.

Your wish for the future of fashion?
A more progressive and daring lingerie industry, which promotes the demand for new lingerie concepts. Wundervoll should of course continue to play an important role.

In case it wasn’t clear from the glistening black backdrop and the neon-lit replica of the Place Vendôme that set the stage for last night’s Chanel Couture presentation, a dramatic, evening-inspired theme helped guide the beauty look created by the house’s creative director of makeup, Peter Philips.

“Karl mentioned the masculine/feminine silhouette, the fact that we were going to do a show at night—and the flashlight shoes,” Philips elaborated, pointing out the boot tips that glowed with violet light. “That’s where the veil/burglar idea came from.” He meant the lace overlays that coiffing star Sam McKnight placed across models’ eyes and secured in a pinned-down mass of coiled strands behind each ear.
