      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We are so happy to be working with such talented designers.&nbsp;Each month we will be doing a feature on one of the many amazing designers on&nbsp;<strong>AccessoryAvenue.com</strong>. This month we are featuring <a href="http://www.accessoryavenue.com/designer-index/kai-turban.html">Kai Turban</a>. I had the opportunity of virtually interviewing Virginie Promeyrat, the designer behind <a href="http://www.accessoryavenue.com/designer-index/kai-turban.html">Kai Turban</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8853/selima0917templatelq21.jpg" alt="virginie" width="300" height="320" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">"Virginie Promeyrat grew up in France, the epicenter of the latest in fashion. She received her Master in business administration and moved to New York for an internship at the Chanel Corporation. Combining her passion for collecting hats and her extensive knowledge of fashion, she now brings her own unique style and whimsical vision to the world of millinery."

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">Nicole: <strong>How did you get started with Kai Turban and where did the idea come from?</strong><br />Virginie:<em>&nbsp;</em><em>I made the 1<sup>st</sup>&nbsp;Kai a year and half ago! I was looking for the perfect turban that wouldn't not slide off every 2 minutes: I made it! Also, the spandex used is a very soft fabric, it enables you keep it on all day without being bothered</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">N: <strong>What is your design process? Do you sketch out your designs or what other method do you use?</strong><br />V:<em>For this particular product, it is more a research of fabrics, trends and adapting to the season.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">N: <strong>Where does your inspiration come from?</strong><br />V: <em>It is based on the Kadpom from Indeonesia ( turban used for the religious ceremony) with a modern touch of course.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">N:<strong>What designers inspire you, if any? And why.</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br />V:<em>Louboutin for his mix of colors ( always with a red touch: my favorite color)</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">N:<strong>Any celebrities seen wearing your pieces? If so, who?</strong><br />V: <em>Rihanna, and many others&hellip;.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">N:<strong>Any accomplishments with Kai Turban that are worth mentioning?</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br />V: <em>Not Yet, but I want the LKai to be on the Head of every women from 7 to 77 years old or more&hellip;</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">N:<strong>What can we expect in 2013 for Kai Turban?</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br />V:<em>Many more prints and little details added</em></span></p>
