Paraphernalia - anatomical ramble through fauna and wardrobe
11. June 2008 Accessories & Jewelry
Inspired by vintage illustrations and the 19th century magic mystics, jewelry designer Ms. Vanda from Manchester, UK, conjures handmade AND affordable embellishments for both woman and men. Her label Paraphernalia is known for a wide scope of designs that range from odd - like the anatomica collection - to frisky - like the fauna collection and vetements collection.
I know, I know, the Paraphernalia designs are very special - and I know that not all of you go for it. But still, it´s a unique creative output that makes Ms. Vanda´s work remarkable and worth mentioning. And while strolling around her website, I am pretty sure that most of you will find at least one piece that makes you think, smile, wonder, whatever….
