THE MONOCHROME SEASON
THE ONE COLOR. I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLE.

IT ALLOWS TO FOCUS ON THE MATERIAL, AND THE SHAPE OF THE NECKLACE.
IT'S A GESTURE ON YOUR OUTFIT.

OR ALMOST INVISIBLE ON A DRESS OR A SWEATER OF THE SAME COLOR TO JUST CONFRONT THE PAPER AND THE FABRIC.
IT ENRICHES THE SILOUHETTE IN A SUBTLE WAY.

COLLECTION SPRING/SUMMER 2009
in the mood for leaves



After more than one year since the last model this line comes with a light and colorful spirit.
And paper is still inspiring...

For this collection I worked with a glossy cardboard that is doubled for a better resistance. So the necklaces are still delicate without being fragile.
But don't forget that they don't like rain !

This time, I explored different styles. With the simplicity and sobriety of the models STONE and LUKE that will play just well with white cotton, you can wear the CHERRY style like a scarf by doubling or tripling the large ribbon.
NIEVES is a sautoir with a double thin ribbon that allows you to ajust the length if too long. it's a game with colors. it falls just well and brings a shiny touch to any outfit.
