In this episode I am interviewing my good friend Alexia Karides, founder of The Ysso; a Greek jewellery brand specialising in handcrafted statement jewellery and accessories.
Alexia and I met through work in 2020, and since then, we have worked together to design my bespoke jewellery for my wedding in September of 2022. This summer, we are launching an incredibly exciting collaboration together; the Danielle Copperman x The Ysso collection. We share our vision for the collection, and why such unique and consciously curated pieces are so special to me. I am so excited to bring this collaboration to life as it is one so close to my heart.
In this episode we talk about sustainable business process and practices, the importance of mindful and conscious consumerism in the fashion industry, and get deep into the topic of personal style and dressing with confidence. We cover our own personal experiences of losing our own sense of style as we both head into very different careers, and how we managed to rediscover our own personal and unique style having lost it for so long.
We talk about vintage pieces and statement pieces and how to build looks around special items in a way that allows us to freely and creatively explore our own authentic sense of style, and we discuss our mutual missions for inspiring others to discover smaller and more meaningful brands in the ever evolving fashion industry.
I hope you love this episode, and further more, our collaboration collection. You can find the full collection on www.theysso.com and discover the pieces also on Instagram @dcopperman @the.ysso.
