BITS OF STRING AND SHINY THINGS


ITS ALWAYS SUPER COOL TO BE ASKED TO COLLABORATE WITH PEOPLE YOU ADMIRE.
BEFORE LEAVING HONKERS, I WAS APPROACHED BY AN ULTRA FABULOUS FINE JEWELRY STARTUP,  TO A DESIGN A CAPSULE COLLECTION OF GEMS UNDER THE LABEL, LAUNCHING SOON.
SOME IMAGES FROM THE SKETCHBOOK OF LATE;  WORKING WITH BRUSHED YELLOW AND ROSE GOLD, TURQUOISE, AMBER, LAPIS , CORAL, AQUAMARINES AND DIAMONDS.  INSPIRED BY 70'S VEROUSHKA (IS THERE ANY OTHER VEROUSHKA, REALLY?) + THE DECADENCE OF NEFERTITI + THE BOLD FORMS OF TRADITIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN AND AFRICAN TRIBAL JEWELERY.


WE PLAN TO WEAR SEVERAL PIECES ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AND DON A BILLOWING CHIFFON MAXI DRESS, TIE ON A TURBAN AND HEAD TO DINNER.
