Latest One-of-a-kind Designer Jewelry Creations

Few people know where I've been to lately.
Sorry for having 'disappeared' for awhile and for the slow email replies.

I've been in frenzy of creative high.
And the result is a barrage of new works.

Here are some bracelets I've done.
Was Victorian inspired, so that explains some of the old-world jewellery styles.
And of course, kept up the quirky styles!

Will be uploading them (& more) on the online store very soon.
Enjoy!

Maison Margiela - Ski Glove Jacket

Yet another infamous creation by Maison Martin Margiela.

Ski Glove Jacket

And like their creations, the team of designers under Margiela's wing remain anonymous.... and creative. Guess that's how they get away with these works.

Really love this one.
Reminds me of the uniforms donned in the game Counterstrike. Albeit in a haute version now.

Wicked Artistic Fashion Creations

I can't help but start a post on this, after coming by such wicked brilliant creations.

Artisanal collections, so Maison Martin Margiela calls them.

Here's the Elastic Jacket.
As the name says, it's entirely made up of elastic bands. Yes...

Brilliant. They even made it look somewhat a futuristic, with sharp shoulder edgings. The weaving pattern reminds you somewhat of Bottega Venetta leather weave doesn't it?




If you haven't checked out the infamous House of Martin Margiela's website you truly should.

Don't be shocked by the out-of-this-world presentation method!

Crocs Clones...You call these shoes?

Came by this from a website, Kenneth Cole's Reaction Celeb Sighting flats (bottom left). Spot the differences (similarities) to Crocs?



Top (L): Kenneth Cole's Celeb Sighting Flats. Top (R): Crocs


Yuuuucckk.....


Nice flats shape but never ever get caught wearing a Crocs or something of a semblance.

I get the point of perforated designs. But not HOLES.
Would be better off being environmental friendly & wearing these:
