After a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design in 2007 and a little existential questioning, I needed a change. A big one. So after nearly 20 years of long hair, I decided to chop it off into a retro bowl cut. Knowing that a touch of femininity would be lost together with my long locks, I turned to the era of awesome short dos with women who knew how to pull them off : the 1960s... I was struck by Andy Warhol's muse, Edie Sedgwick's amazing style. I went looking for a way to mimic a pair of her earrings which although not made of lace, reminded me of fabric. And that is how it all started... Soon I realized that lace is to textiles what gold is to metals and diamonds to rocks and that nothing beats lightweight statement jewelry!
