About Herism Papuošalų kolekcija

Herism – tai papuošalų kolekcija, sudaryta iš žiedų, auskarų, apyrankės ir sagės. Kolekciją įkvėpė moterų darbo brigadų, XX a. septintajame–devintajame dešimtmečiuose Kinijoje statiusių tiltus ir kelius, darbo įrankiai. Ryškios formos ir industrinės struktūros primena tą laikotarpį, o lankstios grandinėlės simbolizuoja įvairius šiuolaikinių moterų vaidmenis visuomenėje. Kiekvienas dirbinys pagamintas iš sidabro su aukso danga ir puoštas laboratorijoje išaugintais brangakmeniais, įtvirtintais be nagelių. Herism sumanyta kaip moters jėgos simbolis ir tvaresnio pirkimo pavyzdys.

Design Challenge: Realizing the design details was the big challenge, especially the stone setting and soldering the thin chains into the hollow structure with very limit space. It was through several experiences to figure out the best angle to set the stone into the metal body without any prongs in this collection which could reflect the insight of power.
Research: The research concentrated on the historical background of Chinese iron girls and the purchasing behavior of new career female from interview with iron girls, internship in Marie Claire China, case studies, books, journals, online articles and relevant market data. The research showed the potential of the group of target market and the sustainable purchase behaviour in jewellery market. All the research promoted the development of the project and completed the project in the academic way.
Inspiration: All the design ideas are inspired from the working tools used by the 1960s –1970s all women manual work brigades who helped build the bridges and roads that are the foundations of modern industrialised China. This jewellery collection offers new symbols of female power and self-determination, encouraging the contemporary young generation, Fan's peers, to pursue their personal values bravely.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2017 in London and finished in May 2019, and was exhibited in Central Saint Martins Degree Show in June 2019 and was awarded as Merit. In 2020, the project was invited to participate the opening exhibition in An+ Art&Design Museum Shenzhen, "Living Fantasy Young Designer Exhibition", by China Design Centre. The production was finished in China.
Operation Flow: Based on the historical background of Chinese iron girls in 1970s. It was a turning point that Chinese female started to get involve into workplace. The design combines the past (stone setting without prongs, bold shape, industrial structure evokes wearers the powerful and tough attitude of iron girls) and the present (flexible chains reflect multi social roles of female). It emphasises the experience and value of iron girls and bridges with the new iron girls. The jewellery for them is the symbol of female power.
