Alighieri
alighieri.co.uk
The whole brand takes its inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy a collection of 100 poems where each piece represents one of his stories. From hell and purgatory to paradise the designer imagines the people and creatures wearing their jewelry around their neck and on their fingers. London-based, Rosh Mahtani creates these modern heirlooms born from literature where she worked relentlessly to create her idea of Dante’s melancholic and imperfect world. Each jewel is battered and has fluidity to it, unparalleled to anything else on the market; it is a step into the imagination of the undying Italian artist. The lost dreamer collection explores the role of dreaming in times when realities seem like surreal nightmares. Without a doubt this is the right brand for you if want a rich history to the jewelry you want to wear.
“All hope abandon, ye who enter here.” – Dante Alighieri – Divine Comedy

Maison Margiela

Martin Margiela the Belgian fashion designer founded the brand in 1988 after finishing his studies at the Royal Academy of Antwerp was always interested in the deconstructive fashions introduced by avantgardists like Rei Kawakubo and through his career he always tried to question every tenet of fashion and luxury sometimes shocking sometimes intriguing. It was in 2009 that the very shy Margiela stepped away from the spotlight and his position as Creative Director. Enfant terrible John Galliano who is taking the brand to reflect his ideas and “make it his own” took up his role. Each collection includes everything from clothes, shoes and belts to jewelry and the odd art object. The current jewelry collection gives a nod to the minimalistic approaches that always accompanied the brand with a timeless understatement.
