Shining through
Light is of vital importance. Its magical touch creates an illuminating quality wherein a play of contrast breathes life into amazing creations.
Joanique’s latest collection for Spring/Summer 2015 called Illumina is a breath of fresh air in the sparkling world of chic accessories. Inspired by lighting fixtures, the collection allows rays of light to take shape into the simplicity of modern design with a rough and rustic mood in elegance. Illumina is individually handcrafted to perfection; its flawless finishing defines an ultra stylish look with its understated stunning presence. Its redefined radical appeal creates striking and unconventional shapes that display uncomplicated modernity of form.
Illumina presents two spectacular collectives. The “stone” collection features blue, green and pink hues that reflect the beauty of natural agate and quartz set in metals dipped in gold. The “horns and bone” collection (by-products of the Philippine food and farming industries) showcases carabao horn and cow bone set in sterling silver. It is an impressive conceptual collection that showcases rawness in contemporary edge.
The brand’s new twist to the look of edge is defined with sophisticated sensibilities. It proves that out of the classics and stereotype of design accessories, there is beauty in the unconventional. Joanique’s brilliant interpretations showcase a point of view beyond the norm. With an inspiring vision to put the Philippines on the global stage, the brand challenges itself to reach the boundaries of the unknown and step into the light.
