Handwoven jewelry inspired by the design of Wiener Werkstatte in 1925
In my work as an artist and a designer I am focusing on female perspective and women power.
I created this piece in 2016 and at the end of the year I had it finally 3D-printed.
Lilith is a pendant that can be worn on the tip of your nose, like a portion of a Venetian Mask. It then becomes a party nose, with a playful twist... In fact the shape of this jewel recalls a phallus, ironically confering a woman`s face masculine qualities.
All this with charming references to baroque ornaments among the most unusual and refined. A detail oriented design enanches the vintage look of the 3D printed material and swarowsky gems make it precious.
Asian girls look good on a Nose Jewel, too.

Icelandic folk hats are so evocative and simple at the same time.
Everything started with this book about traditional fashion in Icelandic culture.
A traditional Icelandic female headpiece. It has a very interesting and quite phallic shape. I decided that this was the key inspiration point for my project.
References of headpieces from the artists of the Bauhaus. Performing arts are a fundamental iconographic source in my work with wearables and sculpture.
Building the structure of the hat
The making of the spheres, or balls, with felted stuffing and pins.
this hat is self standing and therefore is a wearable sculpture. I like the hjeratic simplicity of the shilouette. And the black outline reminds me of the American design of the 50ies, which I truly love.
Religious references in the shape and colors of this hat make it fun playing with the concept of a phallic hat that is also a religious outfit.
