Les Morceaux: Bits And Pieces Of Parisian Chic
Les Morceaux is a downtown LA based jewelry brand that is both minimalist-chic and to-die-for cute, and now the little independent line that could just got picked up by the always stylish and amazing Steven Alan.
I spoke with designer Joanne Tagorda about her inspiration, experience and the story behind the line:
What inspired the line?
The line is inspired by the fashion-conscious girl who loves the city life and is always on the go. I wanted to create versatile, stylish pieces that can be thrown on with ease and can keep up with her fast-pace lifestyle; pieces that transition effortlessly from the office to dinner parties, from art gallery openings to afternoon picnics.
How long have you been designing jewelry?
I’ve always played around with making jewelry, even when I was a little girl, but I’ve been designing jewelry professionally for almost a year.
What does “Les Morceaux” mean?
I love Paris, it’s one of my favorite places in the world – the city, the food, the fashion, their language, everything! So it felt very fitting to choose a French name for my jewelry line that really captured my admiration of the Parisian spirit. I came up with “Les Morceaux,” which is the French translation for “bits and pieces”.
Les Morceaux’s core collection contains mixed metals, woven jersey, and geometric pendants that are designed in rustic yet simple fashion for every day use. The simplicity of all the pieces makes them great for layering — if you’re going for a more dramatic feel — or worn singularly, for a perfect “just threw it on” look. All of the pieces will be available for sale on their website and the Steven Alan stores in Los Feliz as well as the Upper West Side.
The launch party for the line will be held this Saturday, May 8th from 1-4 PM at the Steven Alan Outpost (1937 Hillhurst Avenue). The event should bring out the fashion favorites in LA and will have champagne flowing as well as super blogger/ DJ/ and model for the line SOSUPERSAM providing sounds. Designer Joanne Tagorda will be on hand as well.
