She embellished couture garments for Alexander McQueen, Fendi and Ungaro. He trained at Tiffany and Bvlgari.
This dream background gives their bohemian jewellery and accessories a super-luxe finish and a devoted A-list following. Wear it to give casual glamour to your work wardrobe. Many of Deepa Gurnani headbands have a vintage, boho feel. They have fabric backings that are patterned to complement the jewelled bands.
Paris Hilton has worn their Mother of Pearl headband, which features a row of circular, patterned motifs set with mother-of-pearl, sequins, beading and embroidery with scalloped edges. This headband has a floral, black and white woven backing and is secured with double strands. Vivid colours, influenced by Indian art, are often used. The Deepa Gurnani Leaf Head Wrap features a band of seven stylised leaves, set with coloured stones of gold, blue and white.
