Autoctona 

~ "nocturama is born from the desire of working on a contemporary reinterpretation of the amulet. my fascination with symbology, magic and ritualism has taken me through diverse cultures to ultimately bring me back to the one of my native sardinia. i submerged myself in a world of pagan and religious beliefs, meaningful shapes, materials, and colours. i did not want to create obvious representations of teeth, horns or hands. i decided to use their image in a graphical representation, incorporating those with clean primary geometric shapes such as the triangle, square and circle. combining ethnical references with minimalist aesthetic. the material chosen for this line is bronze. the combination of the three differing colours: gold, white and copper provides a modernity to a traditional material and will beautifully age with time" ~

The Astral Plane

The Astral Plane by David Mandelberg

Everything about this new MANIAMANIA campaign is perfect. I freakin' love Dree Hemingway, Maniamania's jewellery is divine, the setting, the foraged found items, the concept...

~~~ MANIAMANIA explore other dimensions from planet earth for their new collection 'The Astral Plane’. Inspiration is drawn from the warped symbols and telepathic visions experienced by dreamers and astral travellers. Homage is paid to advocates of psychic and spiritual development such as The Theosophical Society established by Helena Blavatsky in 1875 and psychologist and dream analyst Carl Jung.

For ‘The Astral Plane’ fantasy moods and divine wisdom mesh with the sensual styles and nature icons of the 1960s Art Nouveau revival. In pursuit of other dimensions MANIAMANIA decorate new regions of the body with dream-like pieces in silver, brass, grey chalcedony, agate, turquiose and clear quartz.

Art Nouveau flowers, snakes and skulls adorn the pieces, with a new dreamy incarnation of the Immortals and Eternal rings, as well as many new additions. Each piece in ‘The Astral Plane’ collection are covetable out-of-body souvenirs that celebrate inter-dimensional possibilities while living in the material world.~~~

Took some screen shots from the film: "an homage to Jean Cocteau's Orpheus and is a step into an alternative universe, a meeting on the astral plane, a glitch in time..." ...

a calculated rhythm

Beautifully structural work by Swedish jewellery designer, Fannie Schiavoni. Reminiscent of & inspired by chainmail, the intricate patterns, shapes and textures have a somewhat armour aesthetic which works so effectively mixed with the fluidity of the bodies and sheer fabrics in these photographs by Nicole Maria Winkler, a rad photographer I have been a fan of for a while now.
