“Brynne got in first and Heidi got very upset because she wanted that same thing but we bought it,” Edelsten said.
He proceeded to form a friendship and business partnership with the boutique owners and entrepreneurs, the Mawardi family. And Brynne broke into the headlines with her one-of-a-kind designs by their fashion house, Nurielle.
Despite the fact that Bynne’s frocks were gaining more and more public attention, the business side of things wasn’t going so well. Legal proceeding are now under way between Edelsten and the Mawardis, with Edelsten claiming he should never have have trusted them and that his failed investment played a part in leading him to file for bunkruptcy in the US last year.
“Brynne said to me, ‘Don’t have anything to do with them. These people can’t be trusted’,” Edelsten said.
A lawyer on behalf of the Mawardi family has said of Edelsten: “He’s always the victim, he’s always the one taken advantage of, yet somehow he manages to evade his legal, moral and financial responsibilities.”
