ManiaMania is an accessory label created by Australian art director and stylist duo Melanie Kamsler and Tamila Purvis. In each piece of jewelry from ManiaMania, themes of mysticism and magic are combined with inspirations from icons, music and film that are twisted into altered realities and pop culture fantasies. The collections are well edited (and designed to be worn all together) consisting of varied designs from bold organic statement pieces through to the delicately layered.
Kamsler studied graphic design and gravitated toward magazine work, bewitched by the emotion and mood of fashion editorials. Interned at Oyster magazine, eventually becoming art director there, then met Purvis when both worked at Russh magazine in 2005. Also served as art director for Sass & Bide label in Australia.
Purvis studied photography and design at university. While assisting photographers. she was drawn to the role of stylist, eventually becoming junior fashion editor at Russh. Collections are based on themes of mysticism and magic, combined with inspirations from icons, music and film.
