Having come into the the chaotically crazy & cutthroat world of accessory design only recently, designer Seville Michelle Anastos has quickly made a name for herself due to her eclectic epaulet styles and signature leather wrapped doorknocker earrings. When your customers need only be known by their last names (Minaj, Blige, Keys & Knowles) it's safe to say this Queens NY native is onto something. After going through a personal tragedy that would have crushed mere mortals, Anastos turned her sadness into stupendous creativity and lives by a code we all could all learn something from : "Blessings unused become curses. accept your gift and let go of things that no longer work for you. Nothing is more important than the sanctity of your gift, protecting and nurturing it. Good taste must be shared". Amen to that. – WC
