Brazilian designer Andreia Chaves has released her first commercial studio series at this years’ Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Called Invisible Shoe, this concept shoe design explores the concept of invisibility and optical effects through the use of reflective surfaces that help protect the foot while producing a chameleon effect with their surroundings.
Each pair is handmade in Italy using a combination of leather making techniques together with advanced 3D printing technology.
The series will be available in three different models and launch in Asia in association with I.T. Hong Kong as well as the opening of the retailers’ new store in Beijing.

This ‘Triptych Medallion’ hangs on three separate chains and tells a story of the aging process…as we grow older, things get complicated, shatter and fall apart. Only as responsible adults can we put them back together…

BIJULES NYC
Jules Kim, the creator of Bijules, is unapologetically conquering the balance of art and aesthetics in jewelry. This makes her one of those rare artists who harbor the ability to create objects that mirror the beautiful and chaotic world we inhabit: with all its humor, tragedy, ambivalence, love and hate…
To be in the company of Jules is to be in the presence of a seer – a visionary: who calmly describes the world’s mysteries in ways never before thought or expressed. At times it’s difficult to separate the artist from the art – overwhelmed with the beauty of a goddess, fantasies seem much more nearer, allowing you to discover novelty within yourself. Jules doesn’t just make jewelry: she makes an experience. With an ear to the ground of the fashion world, Jules has demonstrated her ability to transcend the ordinary limits of vision and thought. Its difficult to know what to do with it…then you realize Jules has given you a universal experience that adapts to your current situation. You allow the jewelry to emanate the confidence the creator bestowed upon it at the moment of its creation. Defying time, normality, and traditional forms of expression, Jules has proved that she is an artist to be reckoned with, sought after, and cherished.

TANEL VEENRE
Statement
A beautiful piece of jewellery is exciting. Excitement is a quality that comes into being upon collapse of the quantifiable and measurable into the inexplicable and personal. Fleeing from gold-edged emptiness binds the artist’s soul with the thing being created. It’s all somehow wordlessly conspiratorial. Artist and jewellery become witnesses to a crime in which they are both complicit.
Anxiety may contain embarrassment and brazenness, mockery levelled at the opinion of the court.
A talented jeweller says: The quality of the jewel is in its intellectuality. For an artist the jewel is something very personal through which he can express his concerns, feelings, ideas.
Veenre likes to combine metal with such a natural details like rope or coal (back to the Stone Age?). He makes historical collars out of shining fish-scales, which he strings together with little glass beads. As a result his work looks very fine with its dynamics, femininity and grace. It is experimental and theatrical, there is a fine sense of drama inside.

IRIS TSANTE
ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
I consider jewelry as a process of exploring ways to define the senses of “beauty” and “value” in reference to memories of significant objects and the subsequent human/social connections related to them. It is a dialectic process since it involves the direct or non-direct, or even silent communication between maker, wearer and viewer.
My pieces provide connotations of optimism, lightness, simplicity, joy and innocence, revealing on the same time qualities such as fragility and vulnerability. They often are characterized by a “mischiefing” tendency, sometimes in harmony with the qualities of the original materials and sometimes making contradicting statements upon more “formal” and “serious” symbols of the western dress code.
The basic and fundamental source of inspiration for my works is my own memory. Interesting is the fact that the memories/experiences themselves do not have a unique meaning and substance, they are part of a “collage”-like universe, connected with each other in a non-linear way. Any attempt to re-connect them is a creative act by itself. From this point and on, art is working as a redefinition of all these elements, which through transformation and addition to some different context each time, works as my current impression of all these materials and forms.
I am also fascinated and inspired by the way children create. Their natural tendency to the joy of creating is more dominant than the expectation of a perfect result. The world of the adults, on the other hand, makes the creative game less innocent, since the conscious choices are involved and the expressive means and tools are stronger and technically developed.
Most of my projects involve an extensive material research. I have been processing materials in various ways in order to reveal their hidden qualities, possibilities, forms and behavior. Wood, paper, wax and textile are among the basic materials I use. Their texture, smell, natural flexibility and lightness trigger my curiosity and enthusiasm to experiment with them from the very first stage. I am especially attracted by materials related to drawing, such as pencils, oil pastels, graphite and paper. Material experimentation often leads to complete, “finished” pieces, or to results that belong to a process database that can potentially be used in the future.

Where is all the jewlery from?
Diferent artists, I try to have the name of them in every picture and their website. In some cases, I feature some of my own work or pieces of my personal collection.

SUZANNAH WAINHOUSE
Designer’s Statement:
My work is inspired by the beauty I encounter in nature, graceful form, effortless pattern and repetition. Each piece of jewelry emulates the irregularity of rock and the refined elegance of plants and leaves.
I am greatly influenced by ancient artifacts and melding the primitive aesthetic with a modern ease . I use recycled silver and gold. The metal lends itself to endless transformation which is as inspiring as it is environmentally conscious. My process involves more sculpting than constructing, which allows the jewelry to evolve and come to life. Each piece is one of a kind and handmade.
Ultimately, jewelry is about adornment and pleasure and will outlive all explanation.

DONNA BRENNAN
Biography
Donna Brennan’s work explores the traditional language of jewellery. Utilising standard trade findings which are core components deployed in ‘fine’ jewellery (such as claw settings, chain and stone beads),
her aim is to subvert or cause a displacement of the clichéd visual language of traditional jewellery by placing the findings and stones
in a new and unconventional context.
Precious and semi-precious stones are croched and stitched together to form a new man-made stone which do not conform to the normal economy of scale. Ring shanks entwine around the finger and then extend onwards to encapsulate the clusters of stones. In some instances, claw settings are ‘robbed’ of their traditional stone clasping function, and in a role reversal, are presented merely as decorative clusters perched on top of the stone.
The hegemony of traditional jewellery comes under scrutiny thereby questioning the authority of this language. If traditional jewellery is a meta-narrative of fixed and stable values, then the work aims to challenge this meta-narrative and any notion of a coherent representation, deconstructing all authoritive or supposedly immutable standards of aesthetic judgement.
