About Sydney Curtis

Sydney Curtis grew up surrounded by the beauty of Hollywood's golden era of glamour which imbued her with a love of elegance and fashion. When other kids were watching cartoons, I was watching old movies, she recalls.   She turned this love of glamour into a career. Her first foray into fashion was in sales at couture icon Azzedine Alaia’s Beverly Hills boutique followed by laudable gigs at many of the city’s best stores.  Curtis transformed this skill into the second phase of her career, cleaning out clients’ closets, shopping for them and helping to create their signature styles. Finally, there was a name to what she had been doing for years at boutiques. "I was a stylist!" Sydney laughs, emitting a joyful spirit evidenced in her work.   After years of working as a stylist for boutiques, magazines, and music videos, Curtis has marshaled her varied passions and abilities into her own cutting edge line of jewelry, Aireheart.   Her burgeoning business was born in restaurants where she’d turn dinners into trunk shows, "I would go out to dinner and people would admire my jewelry so I would go out to my trunk, get what I had made that day and sell the pieces to other patrons." Sydney's one-of-a-kind creations are inspired by old Hollywood’s golden era. She loves the look of the 20s and 30s, combined with a touch of the hippie chic look from the 1960s. The jewelry she designs can be worn with a simple t-shirt and jeans or to a black-tie affair. "This jewelry comes from my heart. It’s playful, sophisticated and definitely sexy."
