- Tortoiseshell, a very popular and long-standing item, has been used for many things in the past. It's been used in numerous hair accessories, to back hairbrushes, in sunglasses, tea sets, jewelry boxes and most importantly, jewelry.
Primarily it's a brown, black and often an orange pattern, nowadays made from plastic or plastic-like materials. So, you're probably wondering if it's tortoiseshell then why is it made of plastic?
The design tortoiseshell came from when people would use the shell of an actual hawksbill tortoise. When the population of this specific tortoise caused for alarm, people backed off and began using plastic to achieve the desired look of the actual tortoise's shell.

The mixed bag—offering everything from cut up fetishistic tee shirts to belly dancers—verged on caricature at times. The local spice, however, failed to distract from the (mostly) serious designers. We spotted four who have what it takes to break out of the Mediterranean enclave in the coming year:
