What We Are Buying Today: Edgy, eclectic and elegant La Mira jewelry

  • Samira Fahmi’s pieces can be passed on as heirlooms
  • Innovative use of gold, diamonds, semiprecious stones

From an edgy take on symbols like its XO collection to a game-changing puzzle-like creation, La Mira jewelry has eclectic, yet elegant designs highlighting the innate brilliance of pieces that imbues old-world aesthetic with a sharply modern accent.

Samira Fahmi founded La Mira jewelry in December 2021 to create fun and fabulous pieces that are beautifully crafted, to be worn, loved, cherished and passed on as heirlooms. Thinking out of the box is kind of her emblem. Her first creation was the design of a puzzle which is also her signature collection, inspired by the beautiful moments spent playing puzzles with her kids during the harsh isolation of COVID-19. She believes her jewelry empowers and brings joy as well as unveiling emotions and elevating the spirit.

She crafts her shapes as symbols of bounciness and deconstructs them across several collections. These consist of necklaces and earrings punctuated by precision craftsmanship. She will soon add bracelets and brooches. Fahmi’s designs feature innovative use of 18 karat gold, diamonds and semiprecious stones.

La Mira’s collections have received worldwide praise and is set to be featured on the renowned online site of Farfetch, under the Elle B. Zhou category.

Fahmi never intended to be in the jewelry world. As a hotel and tourism graduate she planned to own and run a restaurant or boutique hotel. But there was a different future ahead. Designing her own pieces that focused on a modern and joyful playfulness while mixing materials like acrylic with gold or even resin attracted attention and compliments from those close to her.

This encouraged her to launch her own business. She attended workshops and enrolled at IAP Career College to gain further skills.

She recently launched her ALULA collection which took seven months to complete. Every creation in this collection is handcrafted which includes a bed of citrine cabochon to infuse more light throughout the pieces. She is meticulous in the way she designs, assembles, polishes and then chooses the stones to be used.

Her upcoming work is entitled “MY BELOVED SWORD” which praises courage, perseverance and nobility. Some of the pieces are luxurious but can be worn daily by those who prefer to do so.

You can find La Mira jewelry at Homegrown market in Jeddah or place an order through the website https://redruby-jewelry.com/

Nora Attal walks for Burberry in London

  • British Moroccan stars in London winter campaign
  • Burberry seeks to recover from 2-year sales slump

DUBAI/ LONDON: Burberry recreated a rainy London night out for its winter 2026 show this week, sending models, including British Moroccan Nora Attal, in fur and leather down a tar-like catwalk covered in puddles.

In Old Billingsgate Market, a former fish market on the banks of the Thames, a replica of Tower Bridge provided the centerpiece of creative director ‌Daniel Lee’s ‌seventh show for the British ‌luxury brand.

Attal walked the runway in a long, statement coat in warm brown tones with a plush, fur-like texture and darker vertical accents running through it.

Under the coat, she was dressed in a black double-breasted tailored suit with a plunging neckline, paired with matching straight-leg trousers.

Among the runway looks were outerwear pieces including blue trench coats with ruffled collars, a check shearling jacket and a dark plum overcoat with oversized fur lapels.

In a collection meant to evoke “going out in a particularly London way,” the women wore slinky satin dresses with ‌fur trench coats and ‌chunky check scarves, with men in ‌leather suits, hoodies, and motorcycle boots. Trousers ‌and dresses featured beadwork designed to echo rainfall.

Among those walking the runway were Romeo Beckham, son of David and Victoria Beckham, and model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who were reflected in the resin puddles as they walked over the dark rubber floor to a throbbing club soundtrack by FKA twigs.

Romeo wore a deep burgundy, leather bomber jacket with a plush fur collar. Underneath, a pale pink button-up shirt peeked out at the collar and cuffs. The jacket was paired with dark burgundy trousers featuring a subtle textured pattern and a relaxed, straight-leg cut.

Huntington-Whiteley wore a long, plush fur coat in deep navy and black tones, cut to a mid-calf length and cinched at the waist with a wide black leather belt. It was paired with straight-leg trousers falling over polished black shoes.

Under CEO Joshua Schulman, Burberry has refocused on its core outerwear and scarf ranges and is beginning to recover from a two-year slump in sales.

Last month the brand said young Chinese shoppers snapped up its check scarves in the fourth quarter, boosting its revenue.
