Miami Beach, FL – April 2, 2015 – Soho Beach House was filled with trendsetters and fashionistas as another installment of the Fashion for Breakfast series took over Cecconi’s. Jewelry designer’s Danielle Snyder and Jodie Snyder Morel of DANNIJO along with moderator and writer Anastasia Koutsioukis spent time discussing the various aspects of jewelry world as well as the latest trends. Attendees munched on delicious breakfast as they listened on to the intriguing discussion.

World Red Eye had the opportunity to catch up with Danielle Snyder of DANNIJO before the breakfast, where we were able to hear a bit more about the brand, what it’s like working alongside her sister, as well as some of the upcoming trends we can expect.

WRE: Tell us a bit about what sets the jewels of DANNIJO apart from other brands?

DS: The bib is our iconic silhouette that we’re really known for– it was inspired by my time in Kenya and the vibrant colors of the Maasai tribe. DANNIJO has a real spirit, heart and soul. The designs are inspired by our travels and each season we tell a new story. The ​brand’s ​DNA is always there, but the vibe always feels fresh – with a nod to the past.

WRE: How closely do you two work together in creating new pieces?

DS: We have different aesthetics so we each bring a certain dynamic to the design process which makes for an ever-evolving collection. Jodie tends to be a bit more classic whereas I’m more bohemian, rock’n’roll inspired.

WRE: Hardest part about the creating process?

DS: That’s our favorite part! We love the challenge of creating newness while staying true to our brand’s DNA.

WRE: What is the common thread in all DANNIJO collections?

DS: It’s always a mix of old and new; classic and bohemian. The collection can be worn by a range of personalities and really individualizes a look.

WRE: What kind of person is rocking the latest DANNIJO looks?

DS: The confident woman that can take the jewelry and make it her own. She has style, grace and personality– and she loves a statement.

WRE: Do you find that jewelry trends tend to change with location? For example would people in Miami gravitate towards different pieces than someone would in New York or LA?

DS: Stylish people are everywhere, but perhaps it tends to be a bit more bohemian near the beach.

WRE: If you were to describe the DANNIJO brand in 3 words what would they be?

DS: Bold, bohemian and timeless

WRE: What is the ultimate “made it” moment for guys? Have you reached it yet?
