The girls behind NYC-based jewelry line Dannijo--sisters Danielle & Jodie Snyder--may not be sure who their favorite fashion person is, but there's one thing we're sure of: Their handwriting is FABULOUS.
When we last saw Jodie and Danielle Snyder, the sisters behind jewelry line Dannijo, we were interviewing them for our "How I'm Making It" series. Well it certainly seems like the girls have "made it." On Tuesday night the Snyder sisters made their New York Fashion Week debut, presenting their fall 2011 collection, "Aboriginal," at a packed gallery space on West 22nd St. Perfectly-styled models in tousled finger-waves done by Sally Hershberger (and one older gentleman smoking a cigar) posed in meticulously constructed vignettes that recalled the wild west--old wood cabins and pelts on the walls.

Danielle: When my sister and I were teenagers we found our dad’s medical tool kit and taught ourselves how to do wire work with them and started making jewelry for all our friends. Jodie: When I was in college we had opened a boutique in Jacksonville, Florida--where we're from--to sell our jewelry. We noticed that we had a following and that it was well received.
