If Rosie Kent´s and Liria Pristine´s heads wouldn´t have flashed so über-blond and über-red, i certainly would have passed the window, the two were sitting in during a Berlin Fashion Week event. Instead of, I turned back and got enchanted…. (read on)
Spreading both, a breeze of 20s Swing and water waves era and an urban cosmopolite-coquettish charm, Rosie and Liria, the heads behind Pristine Smut, presented their unique knitwear jewelry on a table and on their necks, arms and heads. Knitted jewels to reallocate, to adhere and to drape – so far, always an aversion to me. Too much knit, too much volume, too much extravagance, too much attention.

But against my expectations, the knitted jewels draped on real woman looked great. Precious and covetable, yes, even really charming and unobtrusive. There was no sign of this absurd seriousness and hyper-artsy attitude that made me feel so uncomfortable with knitted jewels so far.

And so, today I am looking forward to present the young jewelry label Pristine Smut to you and I really hope, the two Central Saint Martins graduates Rosie Kent and Liria Pristine let lots of heads turn while sitting in that window in Berlin.
