Maria Francesca Pepe - Mucha
11. September 2008 Accessories & Jewelry
After the heavy weighting, voluminous and silver dominated “Paradoxa” collection which I adored, Maria Francesca Pepe´s winter collection comes along way more soft and floating. Working with materials such as calf, iguana and caiman, sheep skin and brass Pepe gave the “Mucha” pieces a more flowing, fleet-fooded impression. The oversized shapes stay, but are supplemented by some more filigree pieces and although I have to admit that I am not yet of the fashion-forward mark for leather-wobblings around my neck – I totally got for Maria Francesca Pepe and her unique handwriting in jewelry design. Uncompromisingly following the intension that her jewelry “draws a new body shape and changes the perception of a dress. It is a new way of wearing a jewel as a personal style’s primal focus. Jewellery it’s not the final touch anymore, it is where style begins” Pepe´s one of THE innovative and unique jewelry designers of the now and worth to look up to.
