Winner Takes All

Septimo Opens

You were picked as one of Gen Art’s Fresh Faces of 2008. What are you going to do now?

I’m going to Disneyland!!

Really? No, that’d be ridiculous. Instead, Silvia Fassardi and Gustavo Rohrscheib, the local designers behind Septimo accessories are riding the wave of success to South Miami, where they’ve opened a new boutique.

Brick and mortar Septimo shows off the jewelry, shoes, and bags that earned the collection its coveted prize, along with clothing from a carefully edited group of designers. Among them, Lia Kes, Ximena Valero, Marisa K., Tricia Fix, and M Kalan. Special nod to Stella & Jamie’s brown strapless dress: The button top and fitted hem create an alluring silhouette.

And, of course, there’s Septimo’s own line of jewels, like the new gold-plated coral reef choker. With both turquoise and beige ties, it easily transforms from necklace to bracelet, bold to neutral.

It’s truly a magic kingdom.

Septimo, 6374 Bird Road, South Miami (305-740-8368 or septimofashion.com).
