For its Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, ZeMis offers four unique themes representing the latest trends for the season.  The first is ASEAN Agenda which features eco-friendly materials in artfully crafted bangle and bag designs from the Southeast Asian region.  Second is the Sweet Safari series which echoes African safari expedition style of fashion but made from ‘sweet’ natural components such as coconut shells and oyster shells and other natural stones.  As a bit of departure from the first two, ZeMis is also launching its rocker chic collection called ‘I Goth You’  which embodies gothic but elegant fashion style made largely from the same natural shells and stones used in ASEAN Agenda and Sweet Safari series but this time, whimsically but sophisticatedly blended with metal and resin.  Femme Frivolity is the fourth theme that completes ZeMis’ Fall 2009 collection.  Femme Frivolity is all about exquisite hand sewn and handmade necklaces, bracelets and earrings.  Each piece is a pretty work of art.
