Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
I often g to the theatre and I like to dress for the occasion. I like to have something new and different every time I go. Once while I as thinking what to wear this time, there was a movie with Fred astaire on TV. I saw his elegant figure, his sleek suit, his cuffs...and viola! The idea was born.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
The idea was to make something nice and wearable, something different from usual jewelry. I remembered cuffs and plastrons worn by men in the last century and decided to revive it in a modern way, this time as a part of women garment.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
Plan is to distribute FRED to concept stores.
