Sabine Roemer in New York

30 years at the bench showcased at Bergdorf Goodman

During the whole month of January, luxury New York department store Bergdorf Goodman is celebrating master gold and silversmith, sculptor, and jeweller Sabine Roemer, who started her artistic journey back in 1995, at a small workshop in the Black Forest.

The memories captured in metal are like collectible stories that can be cherished forever,” she comments.

In these three decades, Roemer has achieved international recognition, collaborating with luxury brands and building a customer base of VIPs such as the Prince of Wales, Angelina Jolie and Nelson Mandela, among many others.

Afternoon In A London Townhouse

Going retro-chic

Singers Françoise Hardy and Jane Birkin were the poster girls of the Swinging Sixties and Bohemian Seventies. Cool Parisian IT-girls, they created a look that was far removed from the tailored couture-style fashions of a previous generation. Their undone, androgynous insouciance established a carefree-careless attitude to fashion that is still emulated by young French women […]
