what IS it???...

...

jewelry?...not very nice imo......

 

[Scott]

^it is jewellery. And these are only invites and press images. The actual pieces are actually quite beautiful. Sort of ornate French flair with a Japanese quirkiness and knack for experimenting.

Here's some pieces from A/W 05

i think i once had a necklace almost identical to the one with the bird talons grasping that rock. i want to say i bought it from contempo casuals, but that seems wrong...

I am a huge fan of her work. I think she is super talented.

Actually, Spacemiu introduced me to her stuff in some of his changing sex outfits and I thought they were so cool, great twists on jewelry design.
