The creative force behind 9seed is designer Temma Dahan-Newman. In her world, the suitcase is always packed and the passport is always at hand. Her travel and vacation fashion is aimed at the global woman traveler who looks stylish and effortless in the world's most luxurious locations.
Temma Dahan-Newman draws inspiration from exotic locations such as dawn in Tulum, afternoon surf sessions in Montauk and sunset waves in Malibu. These influences are reflected in their minimalist and elegant silhouettes that embody modern, stylish clothing. With 9seed, outfits can easily be transformed from relaxed daytime looks to chic evening ensembles - all it takes is a belt, elegant sandals and a stylish bangle.
9seed's philosophy revolves around luxurious and sustainable fabrics that are not only comfortable but also aesthetically pleasing. Temma's keen eye for nature's most beautiful color combinations flows into every design. Drawing inspiration from the international jet-set scene of the sixties, when icons such as Marisa Berenson and Bianca Jagger ruled the style stage, 9seed is the perfect brand for modern women who are inspired by that era yet prefer contemporary style.
9seed respects the environment and uses only natural materials such as 100% cotton, linen and the environmentally friendly, biodegradable Lyocell. Temma works with dye houses that reuse and recycle water and uses decorative elements from old or unused stock. Each 9seed design is hand cut and sewn in Los Angeles, ensuring high quality and sustainability.
9seed's simple yet elegant designs can be found at over 300 select retailers worldwide, both online and in boutiques. The brand can only be found on renowned platforms. Stores such as Clic in St. Barth and East Hampton also stock the collections. 9seed designs are even available in the boutiques of the Four Seasons Hotel. Celebrity fans such as Kate Moss, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Tracee Ellis Ross and Kourtney Kardashian swear by 9seed's unmistakable style.
Temma lives with her husband and three children in Santa Monica, California, not far from the famous Malibu Beach. As an active mom, the family enjoys the outdoor beach lifestyle and is deeply involved in California's skate and surf culture. Temma studied art history and fine arts at New York University and fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her Temma Dahan handbag collection earned her the Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion award and recognition in magazines such as Vogue, Allure, Elle, Glamour and Cosmo.
