An intense and meteoric rise has personified Leila Kashanipour’s journey as a designer, in the guise of her jewellery label LEIVANKASH. Fascinated by fine arts and chemistry as a girl, Leila intended to go into the specialised field of restoration and conservation, but soon realised her true calling was the art of jewellery making. LEIVANKASH was launched in 2011, and has continued on its ascent, with many accolades collected in the short time since its inception including high-profile collaborations with global brands such as Louis Vuitton and Nokia.
