is a living language

ever evolving to describe

au courant style images.

…

And the word is

night flowers

…

Night flowers (n.)

is a term of self – description

used by participants in London’s underground club scene.

Theirs is a world of the extraordinary-

alternatives in music, extreme street-style fashion, non-conformist lifetstyle:

a pronounced mode of self-expression and individuality.

Fashion-speak is a living language,

ever evolving to better describe

dress images presented

…

And the term is

maximalist

….

 

 

max ‘ i ‘ ma ‘  list 

(adj. / n. depending on context)

1   Referenced from the book:

Brooklyn Street Style:  The No-Rules Guide to Fashion

by Anya Sacharow & Shawn Dahl, photographs by Sioux Nesi-

 

2    To describe the wearing of multiple pieces of a single jewellery type-

(rings, necklaces, bracelets)

of varying materials / designs with a style directive of

‘more is more and then some’ !

3   An emphasis on accessorising as key component of creating

a unique/personal fashion statement

4   For ladies and gents,  an added element of interest to an over-all look

…

Layering/stacking multiple pieces of jewellery is a style trend that ‘keeps giving’;

make it your own for spring / summer 2016.

Body adornments: jewellery takes on proportions with futuristic intent

avant garde jewellery design, body adornment, conceptual jewellery artist, Ewa Sliwinska, function of jewellery, futuristic jewellery

Jewellery artist Ewa Sliwinska

has a creative eye fixedly focused on

future ideas and interpretations

of jewellery art forms.

…

Her MA degree project

at the University of Fine Arts, Poznan (Poland),

is a jewellery collection entitled:

The Living Points Structure

…

Ms. Sliwinska designed pieces,

with an ultra-modern perspective.

More total body adornments than traditional jewellery,

the objects are created with a vision for

simultaneous wear on several body parts.

…

Her inspiration arose from contemplation on

the manner and attitude of how people might

wear jewellery in future:  a century from present.

Hence, the idea of pieces, which are not limited to

a singular body part:  finger, wrist, ear, ankle, etc –

but are of a body inter-connective quality.

…

The pieces are made from elasticated PVC strips,

“translucent tendrils” extending from the body,

moving in concert with the wearer.

…

As Ms. Sliwinska eloquently states:

“By wearing the designed objects one does not simply decorate the body, but rather extend it both in the context of multidimensional shape and activity – the movement is given a new visual representation

…

The concept and finished pieces intrigue:

this notion of jewellery as elaborate objects

of body continuation in form and motion.

With this impression jewellery is organic,

maybe not from materials used in construction,

but as more intricate and intimate to the wearer.

…
