Maryam Keyhani, jewellery designer extraordinaire. We got together at her Yorkville home over the winter for a shoot for TheKit.ca. Always divine, Keyhani welcomed me into her minimalist chic home wearing a Maison Martin Margiela trompe l’oeuil skirt, Uniqlo black sweater, YSL heels and her own necklace—the true pièce de résistance.
While we played around taking pictures, Keyhani and I talked online shopping, tea and Napoleon Bonaparte.
