Paris dressed up for Fashion week and the wonderful sunny days made my stay even more pleasant. Two busy days visiting Première Classe and Tranoi, looking for new inputs, trends, details for my work as a Consultant and as blogger. A lot of dynamism at both Fairs and a great offer from all designers.
The first trend I’d like to outline is the usage of new materials applied to silver and plated metals.
Jasmina Jovy “dares” with the utilisation of fabric on metal. The German designer plays with the fabric pleats transforming them into a motif that becomes the “ fil rouge” of all her collections. The plating effects that Jasmina applies to tubo gas chains are very interesting like if she would try to interpret the same chromatic effect she uses for fabric.
Noritamy is designed by two partners from Tel Aviv. The polymere combination with metal gives to Tammar and Elinor ‘s creations a new and innovative look. The central part of the jewelry piece makes you think to a sculpture but when you wear it you find a seductive femininity and a charming feeling.
Regina Dabdab is a Brasilian designer who lives in Paris since a few years. Her design is strongly influenced by Amazonic flora and fauna. For Regina, nature is the main source of inspiration. In her collections, she uses white wood found on the beaches, horn and bones as well as feathers from tropical birds. All pieces are unique, magically balanced in the usage of materials and metal.
SiriSiri, Japanese designer, continues her development in glass jewelry. A special technique makes the glass unbreakable, light and easy to wear. This season, Siri Siri also added rattan in her jewellery creation with the Arabesque collection.
Andres Gallardo, porcelaine integrated into jewelry. The Spanish designer started his path by “taking” old porcelaine pieces and integrating them into in his creations. In the new collections, the porcelaine is designed specifically, the colors become then more vibrant and the overall game of mini and maxi is delicately balanced.
In the next episodes on Paris, geometry applied to jewelry…
