Ms. Placed, a New Orleans based line of jewelry and accessories will host a website launch event
including a fashion show and reception on February 12, 2011 at 10 p.m. at the Country Club located at 634
Louisa St. in the Bywater New Orleans. This event is free and open to the public.
In an effort to empower their fellow young women living in post-Katrina New Orleans, Ms. Placed founders Allie
Siegel and Elli Diaz have created a raw, edgy, and punk-inspired line of jewelry and hair accessories. Using
recycled materials such as dominoes, vintage legos, and poker chips boasting original New-Orleans inspired
designs, Ms. Placed is thrilled to present their first line at the February 12 launch event.
During the time following Katrina, the displaced Siegel and Diaz turned to creating Ms. Placed as an outlet for
the pain and frustration they faced as victims of the hurricane. After years of honing their talents and careful
craftsmanship, what has resulted is an undeniably unique and quirky line that represents the new side of New
Orleans style.
Through Ms. Placed, Siegel and Diaz hope to create a new niche for handmade gifts outside of what the everpopular
mall stores have to offer. Ms. Placed reflects the individual styles of Siegel and Diaz- what Siegel
describes as “dark and sexy, feminine but raw”. With undercurrents of rockabilly style and pinup girl grace, Ms.
Placed is on the verge of expanding into a brand synonymous with the unique strength and style of New Orleans
women.
