To mark the launch of Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture, author Maia Adams will be signing copies of her new book at Colette during Paris Fashion Week.

As the first book to explore this exciting field, Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture contains in-depth profiles of 33 international jewellers, as well as details of their collaborations with leading fashion designers including Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.

Packed with original interviews, the book also features specially commissioned photos and never-seen-before sketches from the likes of Jordan Askill, Alexis Bittar, Erickson Beamon, Judy Blame, Bless, Lara Bohinc, Natalia Brilli, Delfina Delttrez, Florian, Husam el Odeh and Scott Wilson to name a few…

Colette and Maia have co-invited a selection of the jewellers featured in Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture to each create a single piece of jewellery to be displayed, and sold, at Colette. If you’ve ever wanted to own a truly unique piece of jewellery, this is your opportunity to get your hands on a one-off work by some of the most creative designers working today.

The Groninger Museum presents a major solo exhibition of the work of Bernhard Willhelm and Jutta Kraus (both, 1972) on the occasion of their tenth working anniversary. In the course of these ten years, Willhelm and Kraus have realized more than 30 collections. The exhibition will offer an extensive selection from these, with both men’s and women’s wear.

+ a Book
In conjunction with NAi Publishers, Rotterdam, a book with more than 500 illustrations will be published to celebrate the past ten years. The book will offer a previously unpublished overview of the work of these remarkable designers, and will contain contributions by author Ingborg Harms and fashion theorist Francesca Granata.

“Wonderland” is the perfect fantasy for the SS 10 season.   Inspiration flows from the pages of Lewis Carol’s Alice in Wonderland, from the exquisite illustrations of John Tenniel depicting the fantastical world beyond the rabbit hole, and is recast in a modern light as a collection of digitally printed silk scarves.  Each design has been meticulously rendered by hand, and serves as an extension of Coco’s work as a highly coveted fashion illustrator.

The muse finds herself transported in ink into three distinct fantasy worlds, which serve as stages of what must surely be a most marvelous adventure.  In one instant she sits amongst an explosion of oversized lilies and musical notes, which swirl around bending bars of sound.  In another she stands holding a deck of cards, seemingly beckoning us past a grouping of feathers and flamingos to take a closer look.
The third is a boudoir abstraction of whirling timepieces, mechanisms, and upholstery finishings.
Strong geometric shapes and backgrounds serve as a counterpoint to elegant drawings and swirling realities, giving the sublimely feminine illustrations a stronger, modern appeal.   Each scarf design comes in 3 colour ways, in which brighter and more neutral tones are carefully considered and utilized expertly to give each composition a unique appeal.
