TFS EXCLUSIVE: INTERVIEW WITH LEEORA CATALAN OF nOir

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit the NOir showroom and get a tour from Leeora Catalan, the designer behind the perennially popular celebrity-favored jewelry line.

It was easily the most exciting showroom tour I’ve ever been on.  Literally, I was a kid in a candy store, trying on all the bold baubles that Catalan and her team have designed. I was also completely taken aback by how many pieces there were in her showroom that I have seen in the likes of Henri Bendel and Big Drop, but had no idea were designed by Catalan.

Though you would have to be living under a fashion rock to not have heard of NOir, even if the name doesn’t ring a bell you’re very likely to have seen a number of the 14-year-old jewelry line’s pieces when flipping through a magazine, watching TV, or catching a movie, since NOir has been worn by everyone from Madonna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Rihanna, to Fergie, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Paris Hilton, and Mariah Carey. Also, Catalan has teamed-up with Patricia Field to create some exclusive pieces for the upcoming Sex in the City sequel.
