Elle Magazine

Still not over studs, grommets, and other such embellishments. Leave it to Balenciaga to keep them interesting.

Ken+Dana Design & Launch Party

Everything that is of the ken+dana design brand is crazzzzy creative and can be described as the "jewelry that takes chances, has a voice and looks fly." With an urban feel, and an extremely diverse design team that heirs from Hong Kong, Maine, and Brooklyn, k+d designs are non-traditional and unlike any accessories you have ever seen before. By focusing on exploring art and its relationship with body decoration, the designers experiment with materials and techniques that are way, way, wayyyy outside the normal "box" of jewelry making. With two labels, a beautiful, elegant fine jewelry line and it's opposite, yet complimentary, "b-side label," which references the "b-side" of a cassette tape -the place where artists are known to execute experiments- ken+dana aims to create a wide variety of pieces that are as diverse as their team is. For their newest collection under the "b-side label," entitled "Graffiti 2.0," the designers channel their urge to "paint on stuff." As an encore and follow-up to their extremely popular "Graffiti" collection, their ideas stem from their artistic backgrounds in painting what can be ever-so-time-consuming, street murals. Now, with the use of stencil techniques their graffiti art comes straight off of the walls and right onto the jewelry. This immediately helps to achieve both multiplicity and accessibility, and certainly gives them the ability to reach the masses in a much, much, much more timely fashion. The end product? An inssssssanely SICK collection of statement pieces that are all at once an exuberant mix of funky, bold, edgy and sexy with a straight-up city-street vibe. Dig it ALL.

Check out some pages from their dope look book below, and scroll down for an EVENT that you will NOT want to miss.

Hard Core in the Hot Heat

So happy that the hardcore, edgy, biker style will still be cool even in the upcoming hot months. But really...let's be serious, these styles aren't going anywhere. Love it.
