The Art of Fashion

Q&A With Philippa Green and Ida-Elsje
I posted a while ago here about an O Magazine shoot featuring exquisite stainless steel jewellery. It has garnered such a lovely positive response and I am so pleased. The team worked really hard on it and took some risks — so it is always fun when the risks pay off.
Some of the jewellery we featured was crafted by two of South Africa's most exciting jewellery talents — Philippa Green and Ida-Elsje. They have a store in Cape Town called Olive Green Cat, and the O magazine web team took some time to ask them a few questions about their brand, their work and how they got to where they are now.
I think it is a lovely read, and worth the few reading minutes. Talent is such a rare commodity that it is always worth digging a bit deeper and drawing those talents around you. Well, that's what I think.
