The oomph to your ensemble. Add the finishing touch with VOILA Adornments
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Voila Adornments are brought to you by, Kania is a first-generation Haitian-American stylista whose love of the arts and styling to create timeless and eclectic accessories.
My love for accessories derives from Renia, my mother, who has an impeccable style and a transformative creative touch. As a child, I recall her meticulously coordinating outfits for family functions, church, and formal events. Renia would shop and travel for the finest accessories and dresses for her, me, and my two younger sisters. She would walk with her three daughters with pride, wearing the prettiest and most extravagant ribbons imported from Haiti in our hair. Perhaps even a little purse and her favorite part: earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. She loved to “Abiye nou tankou ti poupee” English translation: “dress you as dolls.”
Voila Adornments fuses sustainable,vintage and contemporary items. Semi-precious gemstones, wooden beads, wire, silver and gold tones, lush fabrics and even fringe accents are used to create statement accessories that transform your look from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY.
Don’t forget to grab yourself a KOUWÒN. Kouwòn is the Haitian Kreyol word that means crown. A multifunctional design that can be utilized as a headband or to tie up your tresses, making you feel like royalty! Did I mention that it can be used as neckwear also; who doesn’t like a two-fer? Wear one at a time, or stack ’em up!
